Blood Ties is the beginning of an epic adventure that
chronicles the journey of a young boy named Lucas, who must forge a new life for himself after the sudden and tragic death of his father. Set in a fictional medieval world of castles, kings, knights and danger at every turn, we follow Lucas as he grows from a carefree young boy into a brave, confident and capable young man. Life isn't always easy for Lucas, and he has much to learn, not only about
the world around him, but about himself and who he really is.
What I liked most about this book is the immediate
connection that the reader has with Lucas, I was invested in his story from the first page. The rest of the characters are imaginative and you either love them or love to hate them. I particularly enjoyed the addition of Zera, a strong female influence on Lucas, in a world dominated primarily by men. The book is full of twists and turns that develop the story and keep it moving in a direction that is not predicable.
The author has created a fast paced, exciting and hard to put down first book that keeps you entertained from beginning to end. The book is aimed at the young adult audience but has just the right level of complexity to appeal to readers of all ages. Blood Ties is a highly enjoyable read, and I eagerly await the next installment.

Fantastic Fantasy Adventure
This book only took me two days to read, and it is not a short book! From the very first page I was drawn in by Lucas’s story and I couldn’t wait to follow him on his journey and see where his adventure would take him next.The world building in Blood Ties was fantastic, and Waithman’s story telling ability rivaled that of many best selling authors. The story flowed with an easy pace that kept me captivated and aching to read more.I could barely believe this was the author’s first novel, as the writing showed a maturity and elegance that most new authors lack. Now I can’t wait to read the rest of the series!!
