Required Reading

Life is complicated enough without getting into hotwater with federal agencies so: TAKE NOTE Many things I review I received at no charge in exchange for an honest review. Consider this as informing you that ALL things I review may have been gotten at no charge. Realistically about 40% but in order to keep things above board just assume that I got the stuff free. I do not collect information on my readers. If cookies or other tracking stuff is used on my blogs it is due to BLOGGER not ME. Apparently the European Union's new rules state I need to inform you if cookies are being use. If they are it isn't byu me, consider yourself INFORMED.
Words like, “sponsored,” “promotion,” “paid ad” or even just “ad” are clear ways to disclose that you’re being paid to share information and links so BE AWARE that some of what I write can be described as an AD by the government. BTW I will NEVER say a product is great, super or even acceptable if it isn't, whether I got it free or NOT!

Blood Of Innocents by Mitchell Hogan (Sorcery Ascendant Sequence Book 2)



Sometimes I am redundant, "I don't often rave about a new author, today I make an exception.  Hogan is good!  Ok, not good, GREAT!"  This is not commentary on his first book, A Crucible of Souls but commentary on his second.   The story continues as an orphan, Caldan, struggles to understand and grow his abilities amidst a conflict that he does not understand. 

Caldan grows in both ability and cynicism in this volume.   Hogan does not hesitate to dispose of characters that you are led to believe will continue in the story.  There are multiple plots but the story really revolves around Caldan. 

Hogan creates a good plot with characters that are believable because he incorporates normal human flaws in each.  Caldan discovers things about himself and his rulers that force him to reevaluate his world.

"His characters charm and bemuse you, some will utterly disgust you.   This book moves at a very fast pace and keeps your interest high and your eyes wide open.  I can't wait for the sequel. "

I highly recommend it.

This book may have been received free of charge from a publisher or a publicist. That will NEVER have a bearing on my recommendations.
