Bloodsworn is the thrilling conclusion to the Ashlords duology. With the race that sparked a revolution over, all three protagonists must decide what their next move is. Pippa and Adrian have both been tapped to play major roles in the upcoming battles. Imelda has joined the rebel movement, where her powers as The Alchemist are in high demand. However, it soon becomes clear that they have all been lied to and layers of secrets surround the gods that control their world. All three must work to uncover the truth, before time runs out.

I really enjoyed this sequel, possibly even more than Ashlords. With the complex world-building firmly in place, Reintgen is able to showcase his skills with writing action and political strategy. There’s never a dull moment and there are several clever plot twists that were very effective. I really enjoyed my time in this world and with these characters. I would highly recommend this duology! If you enjoy lots of action, political plotting, and excellent storytelling then you need Bloodsworn! Bloodsworn releases on February 16, 2021. Thank you to Scott Reintgen, Crown Books for Young Readers, and Netgalley for a free ARC in exchange for an honest review.
