Review: Amazingly refreshing fantasy

Okay, I loved the creative world that SM Blooding created. The Great Families, the Hands, the struggles and the hard choices facing Synn El’Asim, all come together to create an amazing new fantasy adventure. I came into Knight of Wands not having read Book 1, Fall of Sky City. Though the first 50 pages did a lot to recap what happened previously, there was still a lot to take in. So many new terms, characters group names and abilities to learn. I am still not entirely sure I understand why Synn's family (Mother, sisters, etc.) are all head or part of different families or what those group names are. I am also not sure why the Queens are at such odds with each other. But, jargon aside, it was an interesting read. Interesting enough that I will be going back and reading the first book to see if I can catch up.My only wish would be for the author to include a glossary of terms and a list of characters to keep up with all the action.But the writing and story are just magical. I really felt like I was swept away to the cold and cruel place where Synn must fight for peace by staying true to himself and what he knows is right for the people.I can't wait to see how the characters develop in the next story! Keep it coming SM Blooding!I received a review copy in exchange for my honest review. All opinions are my own.
