Blood at the Root by LaDarrion Williams

4.0

The ones you love, the ones you’d fight to the ends of the earth for, can die to you, in more than one way.

This read will absolutely transport you into … not exactly another world, but a different, much more interesting version of our world. And it’ll take you back in time a bit. Packed with adventure, dark magic and so much more, it was a very intriguing read.

Magic.
History.
Time-travel, ish.
Academy setting.
Mystery.
Politics (fictional, magical world politics, not real life!).
Dodgeball … with a twist.
Missing persons.
Young love.
Betrayal.
Evil.

Overall:
Truly excellent writing and good world-building. Suitable for all ages, IMO.


4 stars.

Another random library borrow that did not disappoint!
