All Bleeds Through is a group of ten stories that has unique storylines of controlling people by blood. Interesting short stories and characters.

I received a free digital copy of this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

I don't usually enjoy a book of stories, but I enjoyed this one very much, Each story was some how tied in with the previous one and it make for a interesting read.
Anyone who reads my reviews knows that I am obsessed with anything magic related, so the fact that these stories brought a very human approach to magic made this a total win for me.

I will say, the beginning didn't grab my attention like most books. It took me until about half way to get immersed in the story. But once I got into the grove of the book, I really enjoyed it and couldn't put it down. I felt like each character was developed as their own entity and weaved into the stories perfectly.

Thank you so much to Netgalley, the author, and the publisher for allowing me to review this title.

An intriguing book on blood magics and alternative universes, that makes you look at the world a slightly different way.
Ten stories about the control of people through blood, each of them interesting and amazing in it's own way. Some of them didn't work as well for me, but it was still a great premise, and a solid book - I loved his takes on the topics.

Dark, vermillion arts

This book is a compilation of linked stories. In it we see the very “human” side of Hemomancers (those born with the ability to control blood). It shows fear, jealousy, revenge, as well as stigmatisation and the effects of being ostracised from society, from mere bullying to being hunted down and killed. These are people who are both feared and reviled, sometimes correctly, other times less so (the hunting of Hemomancer children is seen to be as just as if they were fully-fledged adults, the fear is so great).

This is a book full of well-filled arguments, from both sides of the coin, from the Human side and the Hemomancer side, and how each action affects the other. We have murderers, thieves, but also scientists and defenders. In this book, through the stories, you come to truly understand what it is like to be a Hemomancer, or a Human living in fear of them. Never have I read a story that links different POVs to truly allow such understanding.

At the beginning, I wasn’t so endeavoured with the story, after reading the first part. But, by the end, as all parts started to link through, I was wowed. The end links into the beginning, to create a round circle that allows everything within this book to make sense. Each character has their own attributes, to allow you to live with them. The pain, the fear, the anger, the determination, it all shines through.

Quite a remarkable collection of stories that I definitely want to continue with.

Final rating: ★★★★★ – Loved it/couldn't put it down

First off hemomancer means that you have the power to control the blood within yourself as well as others. I had to look this up as I wasn't sure what it was. This was a very interesting story with a great topic. I would love to find a full length story about this! These small ten stories were freaking amazing!! These stories are best read one right after the other as it builds on each one as well as gives you a new view for this kind of magic. The pacing was wonderful and the characters were great. This was fresh and new!!

It is an intriguing intake on an alternate reality where people with blood magic shape the world (or at least I am hoping this is an alternate reality). My only complaint about this ten-book novel is that I am new to this world, so I could not understand the significance of the first story.

3.5 out of 5 stars.

I didn't think I would like this book as much as I did.
The world building, story line and characters were absolutely amazing!
This is one of those books that will stick with you days after reading it!
Looking forward to reading more from this author!
