I’m always looking for new fantasy novels, since I seem to go through them so quickly.  And because I go through them quickly, I am always looking for inexpensive, and for $.99, this book looked right up my alley.Child of Fire and Blood is a fantasy novel centered around Lar Kwa, Lost Prince of Alban, who is dedicated  to rebuild his fragmented, troubled lands.  But not everyone wants to make everything better; some people just want to watch the world burn (Michael Caine voice).  Along the way, he has encounters with dragons, wizards, warlords, and countless others in the struggle for peace.I enjoy the high fantasy aspects of this story, but I also like the science portions infused throughout. Think Neil Gaiman’s “American Gods” with New vs Old Gods, in regards to Magic vs Technology.  it was an interesting mix between the two, and because of that, some of the characters were informed by that outlook, and acted differently.The main thing that I don’t like about this, is that it is the first book in the series, and it is the ONLY ONE OUT so far…  I started reading the Harry Potter books after 5 of them had already come out, so at least I had the next one to go right into, at least for a while.  I am genuinely interested where this story is going, and I will definitely be checking out the next installment!
