Review: The Blood and Brotherhood Saga
Rating: 4 out of 5

The Choosing is just the first installment of a three book saga.  I found myself skipping pages that were filled with minutia that had little bearing on the story. This is a personal preference … I like the writing to be tight enough that those long, descriptive passages are unnecessary. The story is a good one.  The Choosing is a selection process whereby citizens of a certain age appear at a ceremony that determines in what roles they are to serve their kingdom. Those who possess magic and the power of healing are separated from those who will serve as soldiers and enter the knighthood. There is also a tender love story here that adds interest to the story of their travels._____________________________________________________________________________________
