Title: Blood & Gold
Series: The Ferryman + The Flame #2.5
By: Rhiannon Paille

Blurb-
This is JUSTICE from the villain’s POV.
The Daed are pawns to one of the most powerful members of the Valtanyana. Crestaos is insane, his hunger for the Flames insatiable. The closer the Daed get to achieving his goal, the more expendable they become.
Review
This novella is book 2.5 in the series. As I haven’t read the first two (I got about 30% into the second before realizing I was reading the second), I was completely lost, as I was with Justice, book two in the series.
So, my confusion aside, here is my review. Paille is a STRONG writer and her fantasy is so well planned out it makes me a little bit jealous. (Author envy anyone?) Even though I didn’t understand everything that was going on, I WANTED to. I really wanted to be part of this world and understand what the Ferryman was and what the Flames were. (Side note: I DLed Surrender, the first in this series, back in January, I just didn’t know it until today because I was going to DL and start reading…ha! Also, it’s available on Amazon for free DL at the time I’m writing this post. Click here.)
I wish Paille had put more alludes back to the previous stories so I could have at least had an idea of what was going on. Also, there are a LOT of points of view in this story and I felt if there had only been a few, it might have been a little easier to follow.
Other than that, I can’t wait to get a chance to sit down with book one and start at the beginning!!
