Not just a Gorgeous shelf trophy!
I need more pages!!!! Not a terrible cliffhanger, but I want More!!! Y'all, listen. This book is the perfect type of story that would be absolutely incredible on the big screen 🤩 Blood, gore, monsters, a dragon (right out the gate) lots of non-humans, royal politics, plots, deception, a touch of spice, dual POV. Just greatness!! I was happy, I was sad, I was angry. Lol banter. This was everything I was hoping it would be 💚

So intense!
What an absolutely awesome story. The more I read the better it got until the end I couldn't put it down. It has all the feels. I chuckled. I raged and stopped reading for...a minute, I bit my knuckles, covered my eyes, and I sobbed. The tension that builds in some areas is intense. You know something is going to happen, but with a crazy person, you never know exactly what that something is. It does have an ending, so there's no cliffhanger. But I am curious about what happens after. Gladiator meets Joffery from Game of Thrones meets mystical characters and magic. It is a little gory. It does have gladiators. It was different than I thought it would be but still oh so good. And I love that the POV for the MC was the male. Try it. You might love it!

Favorite Read This Year!
From start to finish Bloodguard did not disappoint. I really love the world building and the characters the author created. It’s great to just lose yourself in a fantasy and forget about the current day for a while. The action in Bloodguard is unmatched. Cecy Robson writes the best and most vivid fight scenes I have ever read. There’s also some really creative twists and surprises that keep you turning page after page. I found myself thinking about this book and the world long after I finished reading it. I heard that there are three books planned for the series and that while each book is written in the world all are stand alone reads.I can’t wait to see what Robson has created for the next installment!

Great and Unexpected!
I have been wanting to read this book for a while and finally bought it. And wow! At first it slowly built up the story, then boom! Totally unexpected twist in the story. The suspense and action went together beautifully! I finished this book quickly because I could not put it down. I recommend this book, especially if you like Gladiators!

Truly incredible
This book was an incredible read, I’m not for romance but this book was one I could not put down. It has incredible characters both main and side. It’s a book that keeps getting better as you flip through the pages. It is not a slow burn rather hooks you from the very start and does not let up. Highly recommend if you like fantasy, action or romance!

Overall 4 Star Read
Overall Rating: 4 stars Storyline: 5/5 Pace: 4/5 Writing: 4/5 Characters: 3/5 The storyline from this book was amazing; it felt so fresh, different, and exciting. I love that the author didn't shy away from the gore and the battles and ingenuity. She really leaned in to her inner Soro when writing the scenes and I was here for it. The political machinations were also something I loved in this book; the corruption, the intrigue, and that no one was honestly what they seemed - it really spoke to what I love about fantasy novels. The pacing was really solid for me; there were some moments that felt slow - but I feel like that's to be expected when you're creating such a large story with plot lines - it can't be climax after climax. You need some quiet. Where this story lost me a little, was the connection I personally felt to the characters. Do not get me wrong - Cecy can write some really good tragedy and I was near tears a few times in the book. But for me to fall head over heels in love with a book, there's a level of connection to the characters that I search for, and I didn't quiet get there with this book - that doesn't mean someone else won't connect with them, because they are written so well - it just didn't click for my emotional brain. Definitely give this book a read!
