This is an incredibly fascinating read! This book has been compared to The Children of Blood and Bone but I just don't see it. I've read them both and A River of Royal Blood features a completely different story that stands out in it's own right, all on it's own.
The title says it all - this is a bloody and gruesome tale of sibling rivalry taken to the extreme. Two sisters are pitted against one another to determine who takes the Ivory Throne as the Queen of Myre...and who dies.
The hate between the sisters is mirrored in their parents relationship, the history and the peoples of Myre. Can one of the sisters accept who she truly is and bring the Queendom back to the glory of what is it meant to be?
