I am all in my feelings about this book. This book got under my skin and poked at my soul. This book was about love, power, relationships, and sacrifice. So many characters gave so much in the name of love. Smith explored love on so many levels: romantic love, a mother's love, the love for a sibling, love between friends, and the love of power. Bloodleaf is gritty, raw, and dark but it is also beautiful and powerful. She is not afraid to go after main characters. She's like the George R.R. Martin of YA. Crystal Smith is force to be reckoned with and I am looking forward to book 2.
This book is a roundhouse kick to heart and readers will ask for more.
Crystal has a new fan!
