Blood was so much easier to spill than truth. 4.5 stars Oh my gosh, this was soooo good! I didn't know what I was in for - I simply followed a recommendation after asking for books with asexual characters. The writing was amazing, I could see the mountainside and the desert with those magnificent birds of prey. The legend about the ghost eagle was amazing touch - I would've loved to know more, though, since it plays such a great role in the plot. Kylee and Brysen (yes, every single name has a y in it) are amazing characters to follow, more Kylee than Brysen though. I couldn't warm up to him or connect with him. I can't wait to start the sequel and finding out where this journey will take us.
