Blood Song by Anthony Ryan Book Summary

The first in the “powerful” (SFFWorld.com) New York Times bestselling fantasy series.

Vaelin Al Sorna was only a child of ten when his father left him at the iron gate of the Sixth Order to be trained and hardened to the austere, celibate and dangerous life of a warrior of the Faith. He has no family now save the Order.
 
Vaelin’s father was Battle Lord to King Janus, ruler of the Unified Realm—and Vaelin’s rage at being deprived of his birthright knows no bounds. Even his cherished memories of his mother are soon challenged by what he learns within the Order.
 
But one truth overpowers all the rest: Vaelin Al Sorna is destined for a future he has yet to comprehend. A future that will alter not only the Realm but the world.

Amazing. Story is very well written. Picked the book up and couldn’t stop until I was done. Character development is slow and very thought out, you really get a sense of the characters. The world building is also very good, though it’ll have to take a lot of remembering to understand everything fully. One of my top 3 books for sure.

Excellent Book- Terrible Series. This is a good read, put simply. The classic development of a warrior who doesn’t wield a magical solution and also isn’t thrust into a pedantic world where “Good” doesn’t exist, everyone is evil at heart. And no “spice-it-Up” sex scenes. At least until the unfortunate sequels. One of those excellent first-in-a-series-that-falls-apart

Can't wait!. Omg one of the best books I've read in a while. I was so upset when I found out the second book wasn't out yet. I cant wait until the sequel comes out!

Great book. Great book and a fast read

Blood Song. Awesome read! I didn't put it down! I skipped a day of work to finish it! Great characters, complex and fleshed out. Conflicted hero. Can't wait for follow up

Well-Written & Fantastic. A great book to read. Would rate 4.7 and recommend picking up.

You Get Your Money’s Worth With This One. I’ve only recently begun to dabble in iBooks even though I’ve had the app for a while. I decided to use it to search for fantasy novels, since they’ve been a bit of a guilty pleasure of mine since adolescence. Even though I sampled about a dozen books in the fantasy genre before this one, I found myself fascinated by the world/universe being fleshed out by the author. Most fantasy novels tend to have flimsy and generic stories, not to mention unrelatable characters that could only exist in fiction. This one is different. The story holds your attention well (and it better since the book is 1500 pages, not joking!) and the characters are believable. The world is well fleshed out and feels genuinely medieval, though the 5th Order’s detailed knowledge of anatomy and fears of infection seem anachronistic. I hate to make such a crass comparison, but it’s almost like Harry Potter with swords; in the best way possible. The only downside is keeping up with the geography and characters since, this being a fantasy work, there tends to be a lot of ‘gibberish’ used. Be aware that the author is British so you may notice the odd spelling of certain words and slang we don’t hear in the States.

Awesome!. Excellent read. Could not put it down and definitely a page turner. Can’t wait to read the rest of the series!

Epic story - a few minor flaws. Couldn't put the book down and read from cover to cover. Great story-teller. My only disappointment with the author: Overuse, and sometimes confusing use of pronouns, along with the unnecessary obscene language are the only marks against an otherwise great book.

Well crafted, complex and completely engrossing story. Strong character development precedes a slowly unwinding story line, adding depth and breadth as the people involved become both more self aware and worldly. A very well done piece of writing!

I neglected responsibilities…. I expected this to be a good tale. It was. I missed a few days of work while reading it because I failed to sleep. It’s very good… plan accordingly.

New fav. Amazing writing! Absolutely love Vaelin and so many more. I look forward to the next books!

Get it. Top 5 fantasy books of all time for me love it maybe top 10 overall

Fantastic story.... Great story, great pacing, great characters, great world design, great battles, great intrigue... Can't wait for book 2

Excellent. I love this genre but I've never heard of this series until I found it randomly... What a jewel to stumble on. Excellent read beginning to end. Can't wait to start the second book

Read it twice, still loved it!. Just re-read Blood Song for an upcoming book club, and enjoyed it just as much the second time in 18 months. More complex than the usual simple swords with elfin magic fantasy. Deep and well written. Reminds of "The Gilded Chain".

Good, so good!. I couldn't stop reading this book! From start to finished it held my attention and I was so engrossed in it that I didn't want it to end. Definitely one of my favorite books that I will read over and over.

Epic. Please hurry and release book 2! Between this and waiting for book three of The kingkiller chronicles. I am getting an ulcer. Lol fantastic read!

Simply excellent. Interesting characters, not predictable, or barely. Storyline is compelling, and may require staying up late. Tough to put it down. Chris

Fantastic. A well written tale of camaraderie amongst boys who are trained in the long art of war. A tale of happiness, woe and disillusion which by the end has you wrapped up in all it's glory and wonder, ready to join the Order yourself.

Amazing, familiar story with well written characters. I could not put the book down once I began reading it. Vaelin is a familiar, complex holy warrior struggling with his fate that does not have the feel of a recycled story at all. The author does a wonderful job with the two unique perspectives for the events of the book, keeping the reader engaged and looking forward to each new chapter. The supporting characters are multi-layered and you get to know each of them through the eyes of Vaelin. I enjoyed the various subplots within the pages as well. Overall I highly recommend reading this book and continuing onto book two as well. I am looking forward to the continuation of the series and hope the author returns to the wonderful, successful formula used with book one. I am very glad I stumbled upon Anthony and Blood Song on iBooks.

Completely absorbing.. Great world-building, fantastic insight into politics, war, and religion, and characters that hooked me instantly. Stayed up late (repeatedly) to read it and then couldn’t stop thinking about it. Highly recommend.

Similar to Rothfuss. Amazing read, didn't want it to end. I read somewhere that he had a hard time getting it published. What sort if drugs were they on to turn this book down?

Book two is when?. This is honestly one of the best fantasy novels I have read in years. I want book two already.

Awesome!. A friend suggested this story, I'm glad he did. An epic tale that leaves the reader waiting for the next installment. I was glued to the pages until there were no more. Patiently awaiting the next.

Excellent. It's an excellent story, well told. Do not worry, the author will not waste your time or money. Buy the book and join those of us waiting for the next installment.

Okay, not great. I really had high hopes for this book based on the amazing reviews, but honestly I didn’t enjoy it all that much. The beginning and end had me hooked, but everything in the middle ended up feeling rather tedious and lackluster.

hands down a great book!!. I dont normally offer my opinion on the review for a book, but this one is a special case. hands down is top 5 best book i have read all my life. i must recommend this book to other in search of a great story. please do yourself a favor and read this book!

Such a great book. The Tower Lord (book 2) needs to be released post-haste

Simply put.. Amazing!. This book had me addicted after a few pages, I can't wait to see how this series will continue!

Great concept. Poor execution.. Beginning was great. Characters complex. Unfortunately somewhere a long the line the story was lost and cliche after cliche appeared. At the end I just found myself not caring what happened to anyone aside from minor characters. This is NOT a story driven plot, so if you are more attracted to story development, you will want to pass on this. This is a character driven plot, though the main character experienced much hypocrisy. His true nature veering off coarse, making you wonder "would he really do this?" Please do not make the mistake of high expectations because of these reviews. If you have read Jordan, Sanderson, Rothfuss, Weeks, Martin, etc. and plan on holding this author to this standard, you will walk away disappointed. It's a great idea for a book. Perhaps the second one will be better. I enjoyed it Just barely enough to give it a second chance come Book 2.

Excellent!. Great start for this series! Well paced and engaging storyline.

Awesome. Great read, finished and went right to the second. Can't wait for the 3rd

A true masterpiece!. Anthony Ryan has done a wonderful job with the characters in this book. I loved the adventure and intrigue and reading the book was quite seamless.

This was awesome. I hope this makes it to TV. Beautifully written and great story.

Amazing. Keeps your interest all the way through. Well rounded story with amazing and unforgetful characters. Hands down one of the best fantasy books I have ever read.

Yes.. This book is excellent. I was hooked immediately, and was hard pressed not to finish it in one sitting. Book two, please.

L. Could have been more detailed

Spectacular Epic Fantasy. An Epic Fantasy written for adults, with well developed realistic characters, and set in a unique, engrossing world. I can't wait to read the next book in the series. (And hopefully many more after that.) This book would be a bargain at twice the price. D.L.
