Blood and
Steel is an exciting romantasy that has everything you could ask for. I loved
every moment of this fast-paced, action-packed fantasy.
All Althea
Zoltaire wants to be is a warrior, something forbidden for women in Thezmarr.
Her only desire has been to be one of the renowned Warswords of the realm.
Unwilling to give up she becomes entangled with Warsword Wilder Hawthorne, the
most vicious of all Warswords. Althea has just three years to make herself a
legend, because in 3 years she will die.
Althea is
not a particularly standout fmc but that doesn't detract from how much fun I
had reading this novel. She's stubborn and driven, which is to be expected of
female leads for romantasy books but I nonetheless enjoyed reading her journey.
Her friends and peers are lovable and interesting. I found myself equally
invested in the choices and decisions her friends and sister had to make.
There's
nothing new or fresh here, but that's okay, there doesn't have to be. It's a
blast to read and hits all the major romantasy hallmarks. Blood and Steel is a
fabulous first novel.
