The Bloodless Princes
The Bloodless Princes | Charlotte Bond
1 post | 1 read
A tale of honor, dragons, and a love that endures beyond death Come for the journey through the underworld. Stay for the suspiciously familiar winged cat. After their dubiously successful quest to slay the White Lady and recover the Fireborne Blade, Sir Maddileh and Saralene set about changing their world for the better. But the cursed and newly-promoted High Mage Saralene must visit the afterlife to ask a favor of the Bloodless Princes who run the underworld. But Saralene and Sir Maddileh will soon discover that the old tales only hold so much truth in them, though perhaps there’s enough to make a start on their new journey. To escape the underworld alive, Saralene will need a lot more than just her wits. And Maddileh will need more than just her Fireborne Blade. At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.

Received to review!

Took me a bit to get myself back into the world and remember what happened in the first book, but things fell into place nicely given a bit of time. I remember feeling ambivalent about the end of the first book, at what Saralene and Maddileh do to survive, and it felt like this... simplified it and robbed it of some of the ambiguous darkness I actually liked. Maybe it hadn't been intended after all.

shanaqui Still, taken as a story of its own, it feels like a very classic underworld journey. Not surprising, perhaps, but enjoyable enough. Not a strong pick on my part, but it'd probably be unfair to say “so-so“ since I shushed my wife's mood-ruining piffle as I was reading the last chapters! 1w
