This was one of my most highly anticipated new releases of 2023, and it did not disappoint.

Timebender by Zoé Perrenoud is the second book in the YA trilogy Bloodlender, and picks up right where book one left off. The story continues with 17 year old Sophie fleeing from her home in France to Switzerland to find her family, learn more about her powers and finish the task the Gods require of her.

The magic system in the Bloodlender Trilogy is truly unique and incredibly thought out. The series does a great job of blending fantasy and the real world in a way that makes it seem like a bloodlender could be living next door.

The book also dives deeper into Sophie’s emotional and psychological state as she tackles her grief, her powers and her divine mission.

I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
