Cian is sent on a journey to find out who or what is causing all the deaths in his village.
I really enjoyed this! It's a step out my comfort zone, and a very good one at that.
I'd class it as high fantasy. Very Tolkien-esque, with an epic journey, lives at stake, elves, dwarves, centsaurs, sea serpents on the rampage and a madman, messing with dark blood magic.
Throw in a slow burn sweet romance, between Cian and his guide, Thanyon, and you've got a near perfect book!
Only Cian gets a say, though, and at points, he had a lot to say.
But a fabulous read.

The main character, a Chosen One, misses out on her calling because of a drug addiction. There’s also great deprivation because of the social hierarchy in this world. It’s a caste system based on the colour of a persons blood.
There are themes of oppression, class, division, poverty and addiction. There’s a Trans main character (and others besides), and this isn’t a society that is prejudiced against LGBTQ+ people, in fact there’s support for those who want to transition. Women hold positions of great power in government and on the battlefield - and they’re just as able as their male counterparts. Often better.
This is a chunky book and a fast read regardless of that. I’m really looking forward to reading the rest of the trilogy.

It's also clearly set in the same universe as the AvP movies, although there is no Xenomorph here, with the presence of Weyland-Yutani corporation, who are on the same deadly planet as the Predator himself, who is on his first hunt out to prove himself.
The presence of Weyland-Yutani and the synths gives licence for soem what-would-otherwise-be-incredibly-gory action scenes in the latter half (white, milky, blood) - I did get strong vibes of both 'Avatar' (deadly alien planet) and 'Guardians of the Galaxy' (found family) throughout.
