My Tangled Skeins Book Reviews: Book Tour: The Bonds of Blood by Travis Simmons

The Bonds of Blood (The Revenant Wyrd Saga #1)

In the world of Saracin, the Goddess damns the earth that killed her two beloved angels and tears it into six realms. As a reminder of their transgression, each person is branded with a stigmata on their palms as testament of their home realm and their separation from the Goddess.

Thirty years later, in the Holy Realm, Jovian, Angelica, Amber, and Joya, quadruplets whose mother died in childbirth, have just reached their 21st spring and are now adults. When terrible visions depicting the downfall of their family stir within Jovian and Angelica, they struggle to make sense of what they have seen while trying to live a normal life.

After Amber is kidnapped in the night, her three siblings are drawn into a dangerous pursuit across the Great Realms to find her. With every step they uncover more mystery surrounding their families past, and something far worse--an ancient enemy that could threaten their hope of ever seeing Amber alive again.

Will this enemy grant the answers they seek, or will she fray the tenuous threads binding them to their old lives? Buy The Bonds of Blood today and enter a dangerous world of magic!

My Review:

To be honest, when I first started reading the book, I wasn't sure I would like it. I just couldn't get into it and was a little confused by it.

After a few chapters though, I was hooked. The story really draws you in as it progresses. I enjoy the interactions of the quadruplets. They have such love for each other. They are each very strong characters with their own individual quirks. I'm not sure who my favorite is quite yet. I'll wait until later in the series to figure it out.

I really liked the complexity of the world they live in. There are many types of dangers they must face and they don't always know what is evil and what is just perceived to be. There are new creatures, myths and legends, friends and foes, around each corner it seems. It really keeps them on their toes.

I look forward to reading the other books in the series. Once I finised reading this one, I was eager to start the next one. I recommend this book to anyone that enjoys a complex, mysterious, magical story with interesting characters and surroundings.

About the Author

Travis has been writing since he was 14. He began writing a book called "The Calling of the Two" and while writing that on and off he started uncovering another idea.

"Yes, this is all well and good, but what about before? What happened in the world before these characters came into it?" He always knew there was a "before" and as he started wondering about it he got ideas. At first they were little ideas but as he discovered the names for his characters a whole story about them emerged.

Travis started working on The Revenant Wyrd Saga several years back and he is very happy he did because hearing and documenting Jovian and Angelica's story has been one wild ride for him. He has also written the Infernal Design series.

He lives in a small town at the base of the Adirondack Mountains and hoofing around my neck of the woods gives him a ton of inspiration for his novels. He loves research, and speculating on different ideas and theories.
