The first two chapters give a great insight into a book I’ve been dying to read all year! Can’t wait for its release even more now!

Can it be November 21st now?! I loved the first couple of chapters I read of this book, and can't wait for it to be published next month. It feels like the type of book that I won't be able to put down; if I'd had the whole ARC, I can easily imagine I would've finished it all in only a couple of sittings!

The writing was captivating, and the style is one that I love. It flows perfectly, is detailed but not heavy, and hooked me until I'd reached the very last word. I do want to mention that if you don't like descriptions about blood and such, this might not be the book for you. Since I've only read the first couple of chapters, I really can't say how much these type of details will crop up in the full book, but I'd assume it will be quite a lot.

These chapters promise such a lush fantasy setting to follow in the rest of the book! It has the makings of a brilliant YA fantasy, and I'm really looking forward to read this one as soon as it's published!

This sampler offers the reader a look at the first few chapters of Blood Heir, I think this novel starts fairly strong. It's quite hard to judge whether this book would keep me interested for it's entirety from this short sampler as although I found the main character intriguing, most characters in fantasy tend to have the same personality traits. I would need to learn more about the main characters backgrounds to connect with them.

The first 2 chapters were interesting and I’m already hooked.
Ana is visiting a prison and looking for somebody called Quicktongue. Using her Affinity which in her case is power over blood, she finds herself breaking out of prison with the prisoner in tow.
I received the first 2 chapters from netgalley and will be looking for the full book as I was disappointed when I came to the end.

These first few preview chapters were fast paced, tossing you straight into the action. The magic looks really fun, and the way it'll be used in the world as a tool is exciting. I like Ranson's devil may care, conman persona already - and the uneasy alliance between him and Ana. I can't wait for the full book to be published so I can see how on earth they're going to get along and clear Ana's name

I have been so excited for this book since I first heard about it, and these sampler pages have definitely made me even more ready for it! 

We are introduced to Ana our main protagonist, and there was a lot of intriguing backstory peppered throughout that now I need to know everything. There was also an introduction to another character and if he becomes a love interest I will not be mad. 

Normally with YA fantasy, I just go through the motions and I'm never truly excited for story after a few chapters but I am so ready for this book. If it is the same throughout as it is in the first few pages then this is going to be an amazing book and series.

I am sorry on behalf of everyone who created drama regarding the release of your book. I am so glad you have decided to have this published. There is nothing wrong with the content of your book or the themes.

I loved the first 2 chapters. This has just left me wanting more and I will be ordering myself a copy. Great start to what I believe will be a 5 star read for me personally.

I'm absolutely hooked!!! I wish I didn't have to stop after the two chapters. The description is beautiful, I really felt like I was in every scene from the dank prison to the blinding marble halls. I can already tell this will be a great book.

A sneak peek at a book that has intruiged me since it was first announced and I'm glad that the author decided to publish this! Any world set in Easter Europe always intruiges me. Adding a murder mystery and magic to it, makes this even better. Looking forward to reading the whole book!

Based on this I stand by my original rating and review of the arc for thre full I received earlier in the year. I'm very glad Zhou decided to publish after all.

A sneak peek at one of my most anticipated reads of the year, this immediately pulls you into the intriguing story of a princess trying to solve the mystery surrounding her father’s murder, and the other terrible secret surrounding her affinity to blood. It’s a secret that’s kept her hidden behind walls her whole life.

Excited to read this in November.
