He’s a very sage-y character that is mentioned quite a bit and I think that readers would also love to see more of.
There’s a lot of not nice things happening, so naturally, they should be included in the story.Ī character that I would have loved to see more in this story was of Simon. Parts of the story were very gorish, and I enjoyed that aspect of it, because it made sense to the story. I think that is very realistic for this story. It’s not that she’s purposefully being stupid or naive, her quick thinking and not understanding of her power leads to some unfortunate consequences. It’s funny, because I’ve noticed quite a few reviewers didn’t like Aurelia as a character, but as she is a teenage girl having to make quick decisions, she’s an excellent representation of her age. Parts of the plot really pulled me into the story, and those were the parts that I loved. I want to be able to feel and care about a character, and this story just didn’t get me there. The characters definitely needed more development, and there are relationships that I would have loved to explore further. This would have been an enchanting story if descriptions would have been a little more developed and fleshed out.
I gave it another chance and pushed through that feeling and found myself in an interesting, if underdeveloped world full of magic and mayhem. I originally started this story around a month and a half ago and stopped because it hadn’t captivated me.
However, the ghosts that haunt Aurelia are showing her that there is a treacherous plot afoot, and only she can stop it.
Managing to escape death, she hides herself in a new kingdom, making new friendships, and developing the magic that she couldn’t cultivate before, along with a bit of a romance blooming between her and a mysterious stranger. Aurelia is a princess who sees ghosts and has a magic to her forbidden within her kingdom, one who hates her simply for who she is. Bloodleaf by Crystal Smith is a promising fantasy about a princess who has run away from her homeland after an attempt to assassinate her goes wrong.
