Blood Magic by Eileen WilksMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Why Get Married?
This book is a fascinating keystone within the series as it delves more deeply into who Lily really is and why she has the magic she does. It goes into the history of her grandmother and her connection with Sam the dragon. The story revolves around an enemy from Madame Yu’s past, an enemy she fought on behalf of Sam and her family was the price she paid for that fight. Though they temporarily won that fight, the enemy has regained strength and a powerful ally. This leaves Lily and her grandmother, once again fighting the same opponent. Though this time they have allies in the Lupi of which the enemy has little knowledge.
Whilst trying to save the world, Rule decides to push Lily into understanding why she wants to get married. She hates being pushed with a passion, but it does start her down one of her paths of ‘why?’, with interesting answers.
This is another complex book, but it seems to concentrate on emotions quite strongly, with learning about Madame Yu and Sam, but also looking at Lily and Rule’s relationship and through that, their relationships with their families. It is because of Lily’s relationship with her grandmother that she is drawn into the fight, because of blood, but it is because of love that Rule and his family are drawn into the fight. It is two types of bond that create a family, blood and love and this book explores both.
Once again, a very enjoyable read that I highly recommend, but also suggest you read the rest of the series first. This is definitely NOT a stand-alone novel.
