Review: Blood Magic
Rating: 4 out of 5

Blood Magic is the fifth of seven books in the Haven Series and I found it to be entertaining, but not as much as Dragon Magic, despite the battle scenes. I just can't seem to get too excited about Brand, I think from all his drama and tension in the previous books with Myrrdin and things he has done, albeit regrettably. He just isn't a character I can really get behind or relate too, however, the story sort of revolves around him.Some aspects of the story (also in previous books) were a little too unrealistic to me, like how big and tall the animals were in Oberon's land (The Great Erm). For instance normal sized animals attained over 100 feet in height. I understand the purpose of introducing it, to distinguish the elves' haven from human lands, but it was just too unbelievable for me.Also, with all the books in the series, there are editing issues that need to be resolved.  Otherwise, the story was still very good, moved along at a good pace.  The series as a whole is engaging and entertaining. Definitely worth the read.JeffIndieproofreader@gmail.com
