She Dreams in Blood by Michael R. FletcherMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
She Dreams in Blood picks up right where Black Stone Heart left off and keeps the momentum going. The pacing stays tight and engaging, and the story continues to explore what makes Khraen such a compelling character. This time, the focus shifts more toward self-realization as he is forced to confront who he truly is and begins to accept the cost of becoming that person. It is dark, intense, and emotionally layered.
The world expands in eerie and memorable ways, especially with the chilling necromancer camp in the south. Fletcher’s world-building remains strong, full of vivid detail and atmosphere. Bren also stands out, with great character growth as he matures and strengthens his bond with Khraen.
If there is one drawback, it is that some of the suspense loses its impact. Khraen ends up in situations that feel like they could be the end, only to be saved by oddly specific events. After a few of these, the danger begins to feel less meaningful.
Still, She Dreams in Blood is a powerful and satisfying continuation. It deepens the themes, raises the stakes, and keeps The Obsidian Path series on solid footing. A strong 4 out of 5.
