Please allow me a moment to breathe before getting into the guts of my A Time for Blood review.  I absolutely fell in love with A Time for Dread but book two blew my mind.  I have the utmost respect for John Gwynne’s writing style and his prowess of delivering a story with such raw intensity.  It’s a completely different type of magic.  I’ve got so many ARC copies I need to read at the moment but I just couldn’t deny what the heart wants – and it wanted to carry on with this series just like the body needs oxygen to breathe!  Better a hard truth than a kind…
