Ebook About The stagsblood gave him powerful magic. But it can't give him back what he's lost...or what he will lose. A new gay fantasy epic begins."A sexy fantasy novel that explores the complexity of war, peace, and our relationships to violence and harmony." --Samantha Hui, Independent Book Review★ One of Reedsy Discovery's Best Books That Launched This Week ★Tel, handsome crown prince of Feigh, has negotiated an end to the war between his country and the strange queendom of Omela. He looks forward to an easy reign of wild parties and wilder men. The deities have other ideas, however, in this stunning tale of transformation, redemption, and love.When his father dies suddenly, Tel is outmaneuvered by his brother, losing the throne. Tel’s faith prohibits him from raising his sword and spilling blood, so he accepts the humiliation, working to temper his brother’s baser impulses. But the new king’s reign takes a dark turn, and his collaborators begin to round up undesirables, including those with a magic called the stagsblood.Tel must decide: Flee or fight? Running means abandoning his people to his brother’s evil whims. Standing his ground means the sin of total war. He has no army and only a few allies—and his magical secret.Caip, his closest friend and protector, brings military experience and blunt advice. Her right hand, Dar, is the picture of loyalty. Tough, battle-scarred Bin doesn’t suffer fools gladly. And Vared, a mysterious singer-turned-diplomat from Omela, speaks the truth to Tel in ways no one else can.Book The Stagsblood Prince: Book One of the Stagsblood Trilogy Review :
[CONTAINS SPOILERS]I suppose the whole of my complaints can be summed up in one sentiment: THERE WAS NOT ENOUGH.What I liked:Caip - She is a wholesome character in every respect. Flawed, lawful, emotional rock--Caip is at once the heart and the conscience of the story. Oft, she makes witty remarks in the vein of what the reader is thinking about other characters, and she isn't afraid to call out the main character's hypocrisies/hesitations. She's a total badass, besides.Overcoming addiction - As someone who also struggled with substance abuse, Tel's rise from its thrall is convincing and poignant. Although, I did not like the later implication that this failing was entirely out of his control. I feel like that bit of late-story dialog undermines the theme itself, but I still like the way his overcoming it is handled in the beginning, so my approval still stands.The pace - A lot of folks have lamented the slow pace of the beginning of the story, but I felt it was almost too brief. Everyone's so fixated on the 'doings' of the story, but I honestly could have done with more building in certain areas (areas that I was sure to highlight and leave notes on). I also could have done with more banter. The complexity of the characters and their relations offered a mountain of opportunities that were often spent on world-building instead, making some developments seem sudden in their execution.Consensual fun-times - I'm a big advocate of healthy pairings and relationships, and the romance between Vared and Tel was a boon in the middle of some of the more grave and craven aspects of the story. As much as the bard was a barb in our titular prince's side, they complimented each other quite nicely and made no demands from each other except to BE TOGETHER. What a relief. There weren't any moments that I can rightly recall in which their relations felt forced or insincere to the point of being fan-service for the sake of it. Every interaction served to highlight something about the other and move their internal archs forward--especially that of our prince.The Magic System - I'm all about soft magic systems. I know some folks enjoy hard and fast rules, but I don't so much care for it. The magic system is there to serve the story, and in this story, it not only helps to move things along, it also manages to support the world building and the rites of the religious aspects of the story as to almost appear like... dare I say... MAGIC. It breaks the world, it's unbalanced as all heck, and its inner workings are a mystery. I love that about it. It has some give and take (some price to be extolled), but it never feels like it's giving any of the characters an unfair advantage. It is a tool, not a cure-all.THE DIALOG - The one-liners and banter in this novel are absolutely gut-punching in their execution. I highlighted quite a few that had me in stitches. There were jokes; there were intimidations; there were wry observations; there was scathing/scintillating seduction--and it all flowed naturally and convincingly. Ironically, I can't say enough about how good the dialog is, and how envious I am of its execution.What I didn't like:"What's in the box?!" - This moment was so rushed, it felt like an illusion. I was half expecting a certain character to rise back from the dead at any moment, or pop in. But they didn't. The ripples and aftereffects of this moment felt rushed, yet again at the mercy of moving the plot forward. I get that we're not meant to mourn for too long, else the story would devolve into melancholy, but the way everyone just buries their feelings about the event feels tantamount to disservice toward the character that is lost in the moment. If anything could improve this moment, or make it carry more weight, I suppose a description of the contents might have helped assuage my lingering denial about its cannon truth... Unless we're meant to doubt its contents so that there's a reveal later in book two? In which case: Shame on you, Gideon Wood! Why need you play with my heart so?!"You shoulda been there." - There are three moments that I can name that changed the trajectory of the story which happened OFF SCREEN. This annoyed me. There would be throw-away lines explaining away why a character wasn't present for something, and then they would react and decide based only on the testimony of the characters that were there. I get that Tel can't be in every place at once. But to have him doing something boring and then come back to an area only to discover that something "cooler" happened while he was away seems lazy. BUT. There were also moments when TEL DID SOMETHING COOL, but we read about it afterward, when he's briefing Caip about the really cool thing that she missed. A handful of these events I can chock up to pace. There's already so much happening in the story, I get it, and you can't always fit in every single scene... but... I would have preferred reading about the event instead. Then, we could have read about Caip's reaction without the first half of the conversation being bogged down with exposition.Turo and Ofya - Mr. Wood did Turo dirty, and Ofya felt like a needless addition. I felt so much sympathy for Turo because his character was established early on, and I felt like we could have gotten to know him better. I was glad to see his return at the end of the novel. My issue with Ofya is the opposite. She and her mother end up playing as catalyst in Tel's wavering vow of non-violence, but I never really felt that she was important to Tel personally. There were three scenes that I can remember that Ofya is presented as representing the innocence of the common people, but I never got the impression that Tel was moved by the girl personally, except that she is innocent and he wants to preserve that. When she pops up at the end as his ward, it felt like such a lifeless Lifetime movie moment. I didn't care about Ofya.Final Thoughts:October cannot come fast enough. Even if we don't end up hanging out with Tel again and never get closure concerning his better half, I would LOVE to revisit the world of The Stagsblood Prince. There are still so many mysteries about the gods to uncover, and other cultures to explore! Gideon E. Wood's prose is sincere and heartwarming, but brutal and callous at times. I look forward to reading more from him in any capacity--and I'm under good authority (my own) that it will make me laugh and cry in equal measures.5/5 Stars - Would Hella-Freaking Recommend! With no warning, you find out at the end that the main love interest (and best character) is captured, tortured, and killed offscreen. He does not return, it is not a trick. In my opinion, completely ruins a decent book.
