Reading BLOOD DUTY was a great adventure as the story contained love, loyalty, bravery, sacrifice, comradeship, good and bad magic, treason, dwarves, two-headed monsters (they were REALLY horrible!) and lots of sword fighting. (I must admit that the battles got quite gory sometimes.) This story is packed with emotion and it gripped me from the first page to the last. It was wonderful to read about a strong, self-sufficient woman warrior who didn't have any sexual hangups. Her lover was a maverick and a loner and not the handsome prince.  Their relationship developed over the span of the story in a very natural way. Although this was fantasy, the characters were so well-developed and the imagery so vivid and realistic, that the story seemed completely believable. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book and I definitely recommend it.
