Narration Supposing Books The Queen of Blood (The Queens of Renthia #1)
An idealistic young student and a banished warrior become allies in a battle to save their realm in this first book of a mesmerizing epic fantasy series, filled with political intrigue, violent magic, malevolent spirits, and thrilling adventure Everything has a spirit: the willow tree with leaves that kiss the pond, the stream that feeds the river, the wind that exhales fresh snow . . . But the spirits that reside within this land want to rid it of all humans. One woman stands between these malevolent spirits and the end of humankind: the queen. She alone has the magical power to prevent the spirits from destroying every man, woman, and child. But queens are still just human, and no matter how strong or good, the threat of danger always looms. With the position so precarious, young women are chosen to train as heirs. Daleina, a seemingly quiet academy student, is under no illusions as to her claim to the throne, but simply wants to right the wrongs that have befallen the land. Ven, a disgraced champion, has spent his exile secretly fighting against the growing number of spirit attacks. Joining forces, these daring partners embark on a treacherous quest to find the source of the spirits’ restlessness—a journey that will test their courage and trust, and force them to stand against both enemies and friends to save their land . . . before it’s bathed in blood.Rating Based On Books The Queen of Blood (The Queens of Renthia #1)

$1.99 Kindle sale, Feb. 16, 2018. This is a YA fantasy, the first in a new series. Full review first posted on Fantasy Literature:The country of Aratay is inhabited not only by humans but by wild, deadly spirits whose nature and power derive from air, earth, water, fire, ice or wood. These spirits are hostile to humans, yet are vital to the land. When spirits are killed or their powers suspended, everything tied to the spirits power stops working: fires wont light, winds wont blow, plants wontTruthfully, my love for The Queen of Blood has nothing to do with the uncanny similarities between Aratay and a Telvanni's town : <3Or maybe I lied - maybe the magical settings captured my interest the very moment I read "clutching her rope, six-year-old Daleina slipped out her window and ran along the branches toward the grove", because why, thank you, give me tree houses whenever you feel like it, my inner child is glowing with bliss. Add some very nasty spirits to tear down flesh, and
Dont trust the fire, for it will burn you.Dont trust the ice, for it will freeze you.Dont trust the water, for it will drown you.Dont trust the air, for it will choke you.Dont trust the earth, for it will bury you.Dont trust the trees, for they will rip you,rend you, tear you, kill you dead. Ready✨
3.5 starsIf you are thinking of checking out this book, you have to approach it with patience. I found this to be very slow at the start, though purposefully so. You could tell that the author was taking her time setting the pieces, laying out the paths that would draw our characters together. It also took me a while to get invested in the characters. Even so, I would say that I love Daleina, I love Bane and I'm just okay with Ven and the healer dude. The whole time, I was upset that Ven wasn't

I did not expect to enjoy this book so much. How many YA fantasy novels have I read that are called something like "The Queen of ____" or "The ____ Queen"? Too many. Way too many. How many feature a
In this world everything has an elemental spirit, each ruled by contradictory impulses, to create and to destroy. For the world to survive there must be a human Queen to rule over the spirits and temper their impulses.In Renthia, a young determined woman trains to become an heir to the current Queen and forms a partnership with a Champion who is in disgrace after questioning the current Queen. Daleina's origin and struggle to become an heir is against the background of a horrible betrayal and a
I went into this not having read any reviews or even the flap copy. I didn't need to. Sarah is a dear friend, and I have loved every one of her books. Every one is amazing, and every one is completely different.This was no exception. It was of course amazing, but let's talk about different. Not only was it different from her other books. It was just plain DIFFERENT. I have never seen a magic system quite like this. I know I've never seen a world like this. I don't want to describe it, because I
