review 1: A paragon case of what happens when a writer possesses excellent ideas and yet is unable to execute them. From the first chapter, I was impressed by the concepts and the characters, though ultimately, I had to give up as the writing style was incredibly simplistic (which is no crime in and of itself) but it was also very clumsy. Arenson shows potential, that much is true, but he needs to hone his style if he is going to give the best possible presentation of some of his intriguing ideas.
review 2: The story is a bloody tale about the last weredragons - people who can shape shift into the mythical beasts. The book starts ten years after the last resistance was wiped out. Kyrie, who was a child at the time and escaped suddenly finds himself on the run after the p... moreerson who has been hiding him for the last decade is murdered. While on the run, Kyrie meets the weredragons lost king, Benedictus, who he implores to help him fight back, but the king refuses. Things change when their hunters - lead by Ben’s brother, Dies Irae, catch up with them and attack with their griffins. The rest of the story sees the two team up with other survivors as they flee for their lives before making a final stand. Blood of Requiem has a flowing style with a lot of great action. This is tempered with some very poetic parts in the narrative that make it an easily enjoyable read. The book however does focus a little too much on action and this does account for about ninety percent of the pages. It would have been nice to have seen more pacing in parts to let the reader digest what is going on. I also found the part of the dragons being able to talk a little silly. But this is not a child’s fantasy novel as there is rape and other graphic scenes within its covers. less
