Wonderblood | 
bailedThe story is a fusion of magic, a broken society, a future political struggle, and is a unique take on an over-saturated genre. Personally, I found the gore a bit gratuitous and couldn‘t stomach some of the descriptions of the beheadings. Such a shame as I think the concept behind this novel was quite unique, I just got lost in the violence which didn‘t always feel like it needed to be there to get the point across
A debut novel, set 500 years in the future where those who still remain worship the ruins of NASA space shuttles. It‘s been on so many podcasts, so many good things being said - so I found myself at the cash register! #mondaytreat #newrelease
so-soThis is no starry-eyed dystopian society with morally grey inhabitants. This is kill or be killed, seriously messed up factions who have descended into utter madness. Overall, I appreciated the uniqueness that is Wonderblood. The idea of a civilization that worships space, space shuttles, and NASA was very cool to me but it needed improvements. …See the full review at www.thegenreminx.com #bookreviewer #TheGenreMinxBookReviews
so-soI don't know how to put into words what I am thinking. I understand all the religious parallels. I wish there was more if Auroras story. I don't want to read more but at the same time, I still have questions. #stmartinspress #ARC #giveawaywinner @StMartinsPress

Fuzzy socks and skull leggings feel appropriate for this dark book. #stmartinspress #ARC #giveawaywinner @StMartinsPress
Chapter One was so gruesome that I am afraid to start Chapter 2 before bed. I mean, it is called Ears!
Time to read this book I won from St. Martin's Press. #stmartinspress #giveawaywinner #ARC
Thank you so much @diovival !!! Will be diving in very soon. ☺️♥️♥️♥️♥️
so-soAn unnamed girl repeatedly sexually abused, kidnapped and resigned to becoming a child bride. An America of the future where magic is venerated and medicine is outlawed. A doctrine of WONDERBLOOD that keeps heads rolling and the land saturated in blood. In short, this story is aggressively unsettling. And very bleak. But not too bleak that I wanted to put the book down. But also, what did I just read?
Nothing makes a gloomy day better than winning a book. I am in love with this cover. #stmartinspress #ARC #giveawaywinner

"And if Marvel did make it to Kansas, seat of Dread? What then? Where the gruesome cows still lurched on their cloven hooves, eating the dead and the living indiscriminately, where dark monks did dark magic and prayed for the end of the world? Marvel could hardly imagine it."
First line:
"When they rode, they took severed heads with them, in canvas sacks, in saddlebags, and set them out wherever they stopped, on rocks, or stuck them on pikes and tied the sticks with red streamers so the ribbon and the dead hair blew together with the wind."
I've been blessed by the Goodreads giveaway gods. Interesting premise. And I didn't realize it was illustrated! #bookmail @StMartinsPress
