The Blood of Four Gods and Other Stories by Jamie Lackey
The Blood of Four Gods and Other Stories is a collection of short stories by Jamie Lackey, with a strong Asian/Native American theme. None of the stories are guaranteed a HAE, and in fact, I would say at least half have their own particular ending. These stories are all very vivid when you read them, which is excellent - Jamie Lackey's descriptive voice is in full flow. However, some of them are not so 'nice' to read, and so the descriptions can make you swallow slightly as you read them. Some only seem like snippets, and I would love to know more about the characters and the worlds in which they live.
With no editing or grammatical errors to disrupt my reading flow, I thoroughly enjoyed each of these stories. With smooth pacing, well rounded characters, and with individual stories for each and every one, this is a wonderful collection of stories, sure to delight. Absolutely recommended by me.

So I didn't realise this was set in Australia, it made a nice change from American stories, though the names for some items had me guessing for a short while
I enjoyed the storyline but it also kinda annoyed me in a way. I got a lot of where Tess was coming from with Toby but I don't think I agreed with the Sean bit. It was a change once more from the usual conflict in these sort of stories...But nope. Sorry.

if i could like this with more then 5 stars i would. i started this one at 120am and finished at 150am.. omg it was soooo good. i loved it and cannot wait for the next one. they are both short stories but the authors are amazing and the books are steamy and very good plots and characters. amazing
New binge watch
Great series. Had me binge watching like mad. The storyline wasn't too predictable and the characters are given semi detailed back stories and progression. Similar concept to others but love the way this has been done. Obviously has been dubbed into English but after a short time you don't notice
I am a huge Christopher Paolini fan as I grew up on the Eragon books. I am stoked that he is writing in that world again. I found these three short stories to be fun and a cool way to explore the world. I also definitely squealed every time we got to see any of the old characters!
