Review: Blood and Iron by Elizabeth Bear.
Jul. 1st, 2007 01:15 pmThis is the second book of the three that I grabbed up when I took my giftcards and made for the bookstore. This time it's Blood and Iron by Elizabeth Bear.
I finished this book faster than I thought I would, but slower than usual. That's because I knew from the start I wouldn't be able take this book at the usual speed.
That being said, I give the book a borderline A-. It would get the full A if not for a few things, some small, some not so small. But it is a higher quality of fantasy than I've come across in a long time.
( the rest is cut for spoilers for the book and because it's gonna get long, like all my reviews )
There's a sequel that has a release date of July 3rd of this year, although I can tell you that Barnes & Noble and a few other places have had it in stores for a while now.
I will most definitely be picking up the sequel once I get the opportunity, and I would recommend you do the same.
