Blood Honor and Dreams The Elder Blood Chronicles Book 2 eBook Melissa Myers
I read, and enjoyed, the first in the series, The Elder Blood Chronicles (In Shades of Grey), due mostly to the inspired world-building. Still, a first time novel, it had some issues: a couple rough patches, a need for some pretty serious proofreading. Blood, Honor and Dreams fixes these issues, and now that the world can shine through uninterrupted, I'm very happy with the result.In BHD, the world of Sanctuary is becoming rather tense. Some new, semi-unknown force called the "Blight" is overrunning entire nations, and everyone's feeling the emotional and political strain. Political machinations are coming to fruition, and the faction composed of Jala and her champions is upsetting the balance of power. While an outright, all-out war fails to break out just yet, the tension is definitely there, and on the "cold-hot" conflict scale, we're definitely lukewarm and rising. Meanwhile, there is a distinctly romantic/coming of age subplot going on between Jala and her new husband, Finn.
So here's the breakdown. The worldbuilding continues to be awesome. Seriously, it's high in originality value, as well as being good. Fantasy's a century old now; conceptually new, or at least very different than usual worlds are rare and something valued not just within this story, but due to how the world can spark our own imaginations and flights of fancy. I wasn't crazy about the level of romance/love present in the book. Yes, it's probably perfect for teen readers, or even adults with a heart. I was just in a mood for a pure hack&slash&blast, but couldn't wait to read this first. The political plots and elements are well executed, if occasionally semi predictable, but that's a common issue if plots are proceeding realistically (ie, not too much authorial "and then out of nowhere, meteor" type twists or reliance on idiotic/clairvoyant behavior). The writing's technically and descriptively solid; I'm not a huge fan of the meter or tempo (or whatever that's called in prose), but again, that's probably just me, and only in a few spots. The action picks up, which is nice, and Jala experiences a very nice level of growth, both in character and in smiting power. The book is very well proofread, and I've heard from the author, on her forum, that sometime early 2012 the new proofreader should edit the first novel, which will be nice.
Overall, a solid novel, which is raised to "5 stars" by excellent world-building. Should appeal to teen (including girls) and adults, with particular appeal for those who appreciate interesting world concepts.

Blood Honor and Dreams The Elder Blood Chronicles Book 2 eBook Melissa Myers Reviews
I really enjoyed this book, but I felt like it ended a bit too soon. With that thought, I ventured to Melissa Myer's website to find out when Book 3 would be coming out. To my surprise, she had the first chapter of Book 3 published and available for reading. However, there appeared to be a huge disconnect to me between where Blood, Honor and Dreams (Book 2) left off and From the Ashes (Book 3) began, so I wrote to the author (Melissa) making an inquiry on this. Melissa, totally personable and friendly, responded immediately; we determined that the digital content of Book 2 on did not download the full book properly. In addition to sending me a full electronic copy immediately, she has made arrangements with to get a new digital version of Book 2 uploaded and requested that all purchasers be notified of the new version, as well. Very grateful to get the complete full version of Blood, Honor and Dreams and eager to read From the Ashes...
Finn, Jala and their friends are a fun and unstoppable team, with enough obstacles to put their honor to the test with Sanctuary nearing war and lethal Blights threatening everything. But aside from the battles ahead that they face, the truth behind the love in Finn and Jala's relationship is put to the test, and it may be the one enemy strong enough to take them down.
I love Marrow even more as he adds some laughs (with dangerous intents) to the more serious nature he had in the first book. When Emily joins them, being unable to see her and the Blights makes them even more terrifying. I felt that Valor's character really shone for me and I hope to see even more of him in the future of this series.
Overall, I really enjoyed seeing more sides to all of the great characters to be found in here. I look forward to reading on to see what happens next as Jala heads into the Darklands.
When Blood, Honor and Dreams came out I was very excited to start on it. It took me a bit of time to be able to start reading but once I did I couldn't put it down. I love the characters of Jala and Finn, newly married and finding out what love is about and yet also learning about death. The way the rest of the characters are being evolved amazes me since they are from different houses and therefore don't always get along. They are learning from Jala that things can be accomplished through compassion and hardwork. I can't wait until the next book comes out and lie a fellow reviewer I hope that these books can grace my bookcase some day as well. Thanks Melissa for giving me a fantasy collection that I can enjoy. Keep up the good work.
I fell in love with "In Shades of Grey" and Myers has done it again! ) She never ceases to keep me on my toes. The action never stops and yet you never get lost within the sub plots of the storyline. It all just adds to the bigger picture in way that, I myself, do not have the words to describe. A talent that many authors do not posses. The character growth in this one... awesome! I found myself laughing out loud, crying, and even voicing my shock at times. lol "Blood, Honor, and Dreams" is no less amazing than her first book and I am anxiously awaiting the third! I can't wait to see what happens next for I have been left on a tremendous cliff hanger! I adore her natural talent for creating imagery, as well as her very original style for how the story is told, and character names that express very true character traits. In her first book it is even said that we all have names but we earn the "nickname" in which we use. Havoc or Jail for example. Myers is an in depth writer who takes me beyond what I have come across in the typical world of fantasy.
