Celia and Anya are best friends and are inklings for the religion of Profeta. The ink is for the Divine and their will. This is a noble calling. However, they want to escape and get a chance when a traveling theater trope comes along.
Ink in the Blood was very slow for me for pacing wise. I didn’t even know that the tattoos had any purpose until I read the synopsis. I found the story to be confusing at times. I did like the friendship and the traveling theater trope. This story was not for me and I almost dnfed it multiple times. I will not be reading the sequel.
