Blood Price

Product Information

Like the rest of the Blood Grace series, Blood Price relies on some of the same tropes, namely children of political enemies-to-lovers and fated mates, without the several book-long slow burn (that I love the main series for, don’t get me wrong). I would say that my main issue with this book is the almost insta-love speed at which the main characters fall for each other, but I think that the pacing ultimately pays off in the long run. The secondary characters are also well-developed, especially the ones who aid Maerea and Alcaeus in their journey. Minor characters from the main story have larger roles in this prequel, and I enjoyed learning more about them and their history. It was so interesting to see how they were brought together with Maerea and Alcaeus and how they connect to the main characters in the rest of the series. Depending on your blood type, you may need a specific blood based on your condition. The doctor will provide details on what you actually need and request it for the medical procedure. sacred-texts.com, The Story of Grettir the Strong: translation by Eiríkr Magnússon and Willam Morris (1869)

Well, I was hooked. I remember thinking that at the core of this tale was the makings of a great novel. To Pepper’s consternation, her walk was cut short so I could rush home to start making notes. I still feel a little guilty about that. Still, I made it up to her by including her in the story as Sihtric’s dog. Though the only similarities she has with Acwel (whose name translates as Killer) are that she is fond of stretching out in front of a fire and has never once caught a squirrel. It started off so well. I was really loving the story all the way up until the hero became a hesperine. He wants to do what’s right and has strong emotion for Maerea not wanting her to pay for the sins of others.Gordon translates corpore infames as "unnatural prostitutes", another interpretation is "corporal infamation" (sodomy). Thus Tacitus may refer to rape, even though scholars have speculated that "corporal infamation" could refer to the catholic view of male homosexuality. See Alcaeus realized his choice was very simple. He could die in battle and go to Anthros’s Hall, leaving Maerea. Or he could forfeit the god of war’s favor for all time, accept Hespera’s taint on his soul, and save Maerea. I just got a bit bored as not much was happening and I felt like we were continually rehashing old ground. Weird though it may sound, I think my favorite part about the story is the last 10% or so. Our heroes are in their full power, the climax is exciting, touching, and beautiful, and the epilogue was everything. I was a little iffy with other parts of the book, namely the speed of the romance and the little time-skips here and there, but the climax and the wrap-up put a lovely bow on everything.

Your kind worship the goddess of night.” Hespera, outcast of the gods. He did not invoke her name aloud. He couldn’t stop her creature from destroying him, but he wouldn’t make it easy. I loved this book, as I’ve loved all of Vela Roth’s books. Blood Price is a taste of the world of Anthros and Hespera before the true political, religious feast in the books that follow. Alcaeus and Maerea are two characters you root for from the very beginning, and their love is truly what dreams are made of. Above all else, through all life throws at them, their love holds fast.
