Tiffany's Reviews > The Last Bloodcarver

I was so excited to receive this book in my owlcrate subscription a little bit back; the title immediately piqued my interest, and I loved the artwork associated with it.

Going into this book without much prior knowledge, I was pleasantly surprised. For a debut novel, the author's storytelling prowess completely blew me away. The world the author created and the interesting magic system immediately drew me in, and I adored the fusion of ancestry and cultures. The characters were likable and intriguing, and they left just the right amount of suspense for us as readers to uncover.

While I could foresee most of the plot twists, one scene in the last chapter took me by surprise. While it left me slightly disappointed (and heartbroken), after reading the epilogue, I see how it sets the stage for the sequel.

With another round of edits, this book had the potential to become a five-star read. I'm honestly a little angry that the execution fell a little short because, wow, this book had ALL of the pieces to be perfect. The rich storytelling and the fascinating magic within the story make me eager to read the second book in this series.

Four stars✨and I would recommend it to any of my YA Fantasy book-loving friends.
