Relation To 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 About Books The Queen of Blood (The Queens of Renthia #1)

Don't trust the fire, for it will burn you.Don't trust the ice, for it will freeze you.Don't trust the water, for it will drown you.Don't trust the air, for it will choke you.Don't trust the earth, for it will bury you.Don't trust the trees, for they will rip you,rend you, tear you, kill you dead.The Queen of Blood was such a unique story among all the other fantasy books. The setting was largely what made the book so intersting - whole kingdoms (or rather queendoms?), villages, societies livingIm having trouble rating this book. On the one hand, I loved the world, the magic system, and the plot. But I never fell in love with any of the characters and that really makes a book fall flat for me. A world can be amazing, but its the characters I return to read about. I think its a 3.5 for me. Im going to round up to a 4 though. I really did love this world and I would pick up the next one.The Queen of Blood takes place in Aratay. Its a kingdom built in a giant forest think rainforest with
DNF around 70 % EDIT: IF YOU THINK A REVIEW OF A DNF-ed BOOK IS A SACRILEGE , THEN KINDLY CLOSE THIS TAB/WINDOW. YOU WILL JUST BE FURIOUS WITH WHAT YOU ARE ABOUT TO READ. This is not a bad book. In fact, I love it at first and the story about vicious spirits, a queen who has badass powers but is susceptible to corruption, a disgraced warrior who is not the love interest of the heroine, and sisterhood is amazing.The problem that I have with this book though is that I can't really connect or feel
Full 5*! I rarely give such a rating, but in this case, it is so totally deserved. This is such an amazing book and a great beginning of what I am sure is going to be a classic. Complete RTC!
This wildly creative tale will plunge you headfirst into a dangerous world of bloodthirsty spirits and the women who stand up to them.
Another fantasy with a very unique world - guess when you grow up on Tolkien, Eddings, and Brooks you have a certain expectation for a fantasy world and I'm happy when I find a book that's not a traditional fantasy. Sarah's book has a world that is inhabited with spirits that are intent on killing all the humans - the only thing keeping them at bay is the Queen, who has the power to control their murdering impulses. This story is focused on Daleina a young girl who witnesses her tree village be
This is one scary world. Definitely not up for a visit to this place, but its intriguing all the same. Loved the heroine and the super interesting elemental spirits that would just as soon bite you as help you grow something. Check this one out!
