Bloodstone - The Guardian's Curse, is the sequel to The Guardian's Apprentice. I was never really a reader of fantasy, except maybe as a child. However, this series has now made me a fan of the genre. Radcliffe is a born storyteller. His natural way of narrating a tale draws the reader in so that they can almost witness the action. His imagination is boundless. In this Beyond the Veil series, he has created another world, full of magic, dragons, witches, wizards, and intrigue. I thoroughly enjoyed this story. Bloodstone took me back and reminded me of the first book in the series, which is an enchanting read. The characters are all so memorable.In this book, Keegan is settling in slowly to his new role as the Guardian, but there is danger that threatens the safety of everyone on both sides of 'the Veil'. An evil necromancer, Sava, who was thought to have died long ago, is rumoured to be stealing souls and making her way back with the intention of taking control of the world of magic and the mortal world. It is Keegan's task to stop her.This is an entertaining and absorbing read, with lots of action. It also contains a touch of romance. I'm not sure whether this is the last in the series, but I believe that the ending has been left open enough for a third book, and I for one am hoping that there will be a sequel!A recommended read for anyone who loves a good story.
