Great story, good read, slight issues Mossleif This book kept my interest the whole time. It was not predictable. It ended all to fast. There were some slight editing issues and honestly if I am going to spend money to buy a book I don't know why any author thinks their characters need to have edgy language. Overall I am bummed it is over without a sequel to jump into. I hope Rzasa has a sequel planned soon because I would read it. Hopefully the next time it is cleaned up and edited better.. This is a read-it-twice-a-year type of book. Quest4GoodWriting Be the first to review this item? I don't mind if I do.MY INITIAL RESPONSE:"Oh, hmI think I'll read the first chapter of The Bloodheart before starting my day, see what type of story it is." FIVE CHAPTERS LATER."Forget housework.it's a reading day."I was gripped from the start, not just by the sweet cloud ships (yes, CLOUD SHIPS) and magical gravity-defying stones, but by the narrative voice. (The characters are speaking to me, I know it!) Seriously, though. Bowen? Favorite good-guy, ever. Strathern? Die, evil villain, DIE!They were BOTH written in first person point of view EXQUISITELY. Think that's e. A great story world and an amazing adventure! Fire Dad ^6 I was impressed from the start. The Bloodheart has a complex story line that kept me guessing. The characters are well developed and early on in the book I felt like I not only knew them, but was on the journey with them. The writing is amazing and had me picturing everything as if I was there. There were unique elements to the story world that I thought were not only fun but intriguing. I hope that this book will become a series, I could read more of this. This is my first Rzasa book and I must admit, I'm a fan! 5 Stars!
The world is gripped by magic. What allegiance, then, should he owe it?When he learns of a priceless relic abandoned in the ruins of a floating island, he leaps at the chance to earn a fortune. Ships fly. And whispers abound: the Bloodheart.Long has it remained dormant, hidden from the dark forces that would tap its power. Small matter to take with him an orphan boy who hails from the same isle—yet the boy is a mystery, and from their first meeting Bowen knows not whether his presence is a boon or a curse.But when a king’s ruthless agent pursues them, threatening his stalwart crew and ship, Bowen is thrown into a quest for something far greater than treasure. Magic could not prevent his wife’s death. Waiting.Bowen Cord seeks only treasure, and despises his heritage as an ice-summoner. He must harness the ice and confront enemies far more powerful than any he’s ever faced.There is no return from his path. Islands soar. It ends only with the answer to one question:Who controls magic?
