“A Fury should never love.

A Fury should never feel emotion.

A Fury should never question fate.”

Love, Blood & Fury is the first book of the Strings of Fate series.The book follows Ariiaya Trillia, who is a Fury, a Fae assassin working for the Three Fates. Her job is to end the lives of those chosen by the magical Tapestry of Life.

The pronunciation guide and map at the beginning of the book are always helpful. 

The pacing of the book was good, there was a lot happening but there were also some slower, quieter moments. The world building was strong and the storyline was easy to follow and interesting from start to finish. The book ended with a cliffhanger. 

The FMC Ariiaya or Arii was well introduced and also some of her backstory was told throughout the book in flashbacks. The characters overall were well developed and interesting.

 I liked the tension between FMC and MMCs. I’m not always a fan of a love triangle but it worked well in this book. 

The characters and plot gave me similar vibes than Throne of Glass. I can’t wait to start reading the next book and learn where the story goes next.
