Living in Raina’s long and dark shadow, Eva must now face her older sister, Isa, in a battle to the death if she hopes to ascend to the Ivory Throne–because in the Queendom of Myre only the strongest, most ruthless rulers survive. Its last known practitioner was Queen Raina, who toppled the native khimaer royalty and massacred thousands, including her own sister, eight generations ago, thus beginning the Rival Heir tradition. Sixteen-year-old Eva is a princess, born with the magick of marrow and blood–a dark and terrible magick that hasn’t been seen for generations in the vibrant but fractured country of Myre.
And I don’t think I’ve had that kind of reaction to an ending since I finished Children of Blood and Bone, which is saying a lot!Ī River of Royal Blood had almost every fantasy trope I love, and they were done well: a romance between underdogs, a rich world with a well developed magic system, a morally grey teacher you aren’t sure you can trust, and a strong female character you can’t help but root for.Ībout A River of Royal Blood by Amanda Joy About character motives, history of the world, the brewing romance.
The alternate title for this book should be: wow, what is trust and who do I give it to?! Every time I finished a chapter, well until I was 75% of the way through the book, I just had so many questions. I was gifted an early copy of the book by the publisher, but this review is in no way sponsored or part of paid promotion. If you loved Three Dark Crowns and Children of Blood and Bone, then you will be a huge fan of A River of Royal Blood.
