Bloodsinger (The Fire That Binds, 2)

Megan

Roman Dragons are pretty cool

"At first I didn’t like that this book is 2 new character POVs. I wanted more of Julian and Melina, however.. after getting over that I was really into this book! It’s for sure dark, but how could it not be with an evil dictator Caesar, Roman slave holders and dragons?! Anyway, I do recommend. Now I’ll be impatiently waiting for the next book to come out. ["

I love the historical fiction feel with a fantasy twist!

"I loved firebird but I think I loved Bloodsinger more. Her ability is amazing but also scary. I can feel the story arc for this series is ramping up. I love the continuation of the world building and character development, the end of this book had me in tears (I cant say why because…spoiler). I am in love with the historical fiction feel of the book but with the fantasy twist to it. I am so excited for the next book but sad I have to wait so long! ["

Didn't love it, didn't hate it

"I have to be honest, I didn't read the blurb before buying this book, so I went in totally thinking I was diving back into Julian & Malina's story; That was not the case. Once I realized it was Lela's & Trajan's, I was pretty disappointed. That said, the story was good, a lot darker than book one, in my opinion, mainly because we find out what ended up happening to Lela after their town was raided. The tension was definitely there throughout the book. I was constantly stressing out about these characters being found out, and/or caught by the emperor, which by the way, is getting increasingly depraved and psychotic. I enjoyed this book, for the most part. There were the occasional eye rolls, but all in all, I didn't hate it. ["

What a great read!

"I was so excited to dive into book two, and now I’m absolutely desperate for book three. This installment follows Lela, and her story is a heartbreaking one. The cruelty she’s endured shapes everything about her, especially her fear of wanting something more for herself. Watching her navigate that internal struggle adds so much emotional weight to the story. Trajan, who we met in book one, really shines here. He’s walking a dangerous line; keeping up appearances as a loyal Roman citizen while secretly laying the groundwork for a coup. The tension surrounding him is constant and gripping. We’re introduced to even more diabolical characters, balanced by those quietly fighting to make Rome better. The mix of action, political intrigue, and secret plots keeps the pages turning, and the slow-burn romance is absolutely worth the wait. I need the next book immediately. ["

This was perfect!

"Bloodsinger follows a different sister. And she is AMAZING! I’m not even sure which one is my favorite. I don’t think I can pick between my babies! But just between you and me, if Firebird was a 6 star read, I think this is an infinity rating. I will. NEVER. get over these two. NOT EVER. Lela’s internal struggles met Trajan’s undercover kindness. And it was everything I hoped it would be. The stakes were high, the emotional payoff intense. But Juliette Cross didn’t just deliver on both. Oh no. She took what was expected and let it soar through the skies as she gave us so much more... as she presented us with a true romantasy masterpiece! I will never get enough of this dragon-ruled world. I will never get enough of these sisters nor their dragon counterparts. And if the setup for book 3 is any indication, I must prepare myself for a new favorite. And isn’t that the best?! ["
