Hey everyone! You looking for an absolutely amazing book? Then, might I suggest the amazing The Sons of Thestian by @mevaughan

I read it about a month ago after @mevaughan responded to my plea for book recommendations. It had everything I wanted and stuff I didn’t even know I wanted. XD It was amazing, compelling and one of the best books I’ve read in a long time. It handled Celtic mythology exceptionally well (I’m Scottish, it’s important to me); the main characters were relatable and the romance was well done too!

I highly recommend this book to each and every one of you out there looking for your next fantasy series to read. I actually read it in one day, it was so good.

And as a special bonus, today (Fri 24th) to celebrate the anniversary of the book, @mevaughan tells me the book is free on kindle. So you lose out on nothing, and will gain an excellent start to a fantastic series.

It's out! @lauraroselam I'm so excited for this! After the heartbreak of @mevaughan Blood of the Delphi, I'm hoping this will end happily (though I'm not sure...) and mend my broken heart. At least for a while.

Review: Blood of the Delphi - By M.E. Vaughan SPOILER FREE! (EXCEPT ONE REALLY TINY ONE)

Amazon | Book Depository 

My Rating:  ★★★★★ 

The Review: I would first of all like to extend my sincerest apologies to Madeleine as it has taken me an absolute AGE to read this book....she should have had this review far before this...so I’m sorry :) 

Now for the fangirling....OH MY GOOOOODDDDD. This book....THIS BOOK! It’s so rare that a sequel is better than the original but this surpassed all of my expectations. 

The beginning I had my heart in my mouth for the first third of the book worrying about the characters!! goodness me my heart was hurting! 

SO much world building, so many awesome characters return (especially Fae I’m soooooo glad she’s back :D) and one or two new ones ( I LOVE Joshua) Vaughan’s writing continues to be exemplary....the characters are well written and EVEN well developed!!! YES!!! CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT....ZACHARY LOOKIN’ AT YOU! cos seriously I didn’t know it would happen but the Zachary feels hit me right in the heart *applause* (also...THAT ENDING :O)

It was also soo much fun to spend some time with the Sidhe...it was great to see how their world worked and Korrick and Boyd were great additions to the character set. 

Rufus is still bae <3 and the dynamic between him and Joshua is just so endearing .....kind of the antithesis of that between Daniel and Zachary...and the scenes where they were together were my favourite. The magic in here is just wonderful....just the right amount to keep me wanting more, and honestly the world building just keeps on getting better and better. not only that but the TENSION!! oh my lord...Sverrin is a nasty piece of work and I read the last parts without breathing.

I must also mention how freaking diverse Vaughan has made these books...there are different species and so many different LGBTQIA+ characters it’s remarkable! massive kudos to you! Also TINY SPOILER COMING UP.......... IT HAS A DRAGON!!!!

Again there a mysteries...and questions to be answered which I love about these books...Morrigan for example...she’s a little creepy but I can’t quite work her out ( AGAIN WITH THE ENDING!) ....and all in all it thoroughly deserves its 5 star rating. I absolutely love this book (however long it took me to read it) and I cannot wait for number three :D :D Well Done M.E. Vaughan!!! 

I love this story....and I’m so looking forward to the next one so make sure you catch up on the series so you too can look forward to the concluding chapter in the Harmatia Cycle :D
