I keep thinking Ward has jumped the shark with her leather-clad warriors, but somehow she keeps it fresh. The Blood series is about the apprentice warriors who signed up for the Black Daggar training program. It concerns itself with the lives of the trainees. Blood Truth is about Boone, a glymera son who finds himself cut out of the will in favor of his father’s lover, his butler.
But Boone doesn’t care about the money. He just wants distance. While on leave from patrolling due to the sudden death of his father and stepmother at the shadow’s hands (and in the middle of a treasonous gathering, to boot), Boone is tasked by Butch to help him solve a series of gruesome murders. The sister of the murdered woman is Helania (and just how do you pronounce that? HEL-ah-Knee-ah?) who catches his eye immediately, and he finds himself knee-deep in mating hormones.
I will say this: the world is getting really crowded with bad guys who have no resolution. Ward needs to clean things up a bit, with all the story arcs all over the place. They’re hard to keep up with. Whatever happened with Throe? Or did it happen and I forgot about it after I read it?
Anyway, I’ll keep reading as long as Ward keeps writing. Love me some leather.
