I will preface this by saying I found Evangeline's character boring (her story plot was great though), and I could scarcely stand Declan. I thought Little Fire was okay and Winter Sun was a slog. I had made up my mind to abandon the series--until I learned that Blood Song would be focusing on Gabriel's story. Gabriel has steadily become my most favorite character since his introduction, and I was very excited to read his story. I am thrilled to report the author delivered on this one.
I really enjoyed learning more about Gabriel. It was interesting seeing the more vulnerable side of him and I enjoyed witnessing the daring wit of his adventures. But honestly, Shyaree was the star of this one. I *adored* her. It was fascinating to see the world through her eyes, and to witness her courage and strength as she faced her struggles. She was just much more of an interesting FMC and I loved reading her passages. I agree with the other reviewer that said the storyline didn't feel wrapped up quite to satisfaction, but I won't dock any points on the rating for it simply because I was more interested in the chemistry between Gabriel and Shyaree than the plot about the siblings to begin with.
More generally, I think Mands does a really great job of creating fantastic worlds of whimsy and wonder. The lore she's built up in this series is fascinating. However, I find her characters difficult to get invested in and, as a matter of preference, I don't care for her writing style. I haven't decided if I'll read the other books in the series, but Blood Song definitely made me reconsider walking away entirely.

About the author
Adult enemies-to-lovers fantasy romance!
.𝑶𝑩𝑺𝑬𝑺𝑺𝑬𝑫. It’s the only way to describe how I feel about the 𝐖𝐚𝐫𝐫𝐢𝐨𝐫𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐅𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐑𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐦𝐬 series. This series is so under-hyped! If you like intense world building, alpha warrior men, Fae/magic, and Romantasy you should definitely check these out! The review below is for book 3, 𝑩𝒍𝒐𝒐𝒅 𝑺𝒐𝒏𝒈. I highly recommend starting with either the prequel, Lullaby Scars, or book one, Little Fire. “𝙃𝙚𝙡𝙡𝙤 𝙩𝙤 𝙮𝙤𝙪, 𝙩𝙤𝙤, 𝙬𝙞𝙡𝙙𝙘𝙖𝙩.” “𝙃𝙚𝙡𝙡𝙤, 𝙂𝙖𝙗𝙧𝙞𝙚𝙡 𝙄𝙣𝙨𝙪𝙛𝙛𝙚𝙧𝙖𝙗𝙡𝙚,” I’m not normally a nickname gal, but the ones Gabriel and Shyaree chose for each other had me swooning. I simply loved the banter back and forth between these two. Shyaree is voiceless, which means she primarily uses sign language to communicate and although that sounds like it would be difficult to read in a book, this author did fantastic. The language used to communicate this style and the back and forth with the two characters was seamless. I was amazed I was reading a voiceless character so easily. The touch her and die vibes were 🔥! Two people motivated by family and loyalty willing to sacrifice anything for their siblings at the expense of themselves. This was an incredible installment in the the Warriors of the Five Realms series and a must-read for any adult fantasy romance reader! “𝙃𝙚 𝙜𝙧𝙤𝙖𝙣𝙚𝙙 𝙖𝙜𝙖𝙞𝙣 𝙗𝙚𝙛𝙤𝙧𝙚 𝙝𝙞𝙨 𝙢𝙤𝙪𝙩𝙝 𝙧𝙚𝙩𝙪𝙧𝙣𝙚𝙙 𝙩𝙤 𝙝𝙚𝙧𝙨 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙝𝙚 𝙛𝙚𝙖𝙨𝙩𝙚𝙙 𝙡𝙞𝙠𝙚 𝙖 𝙧𝙖𝙫𝙚𝙣𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙗𝙚𝙖𝙨𝙩 𝙞𝙣𝙩𝙚𝙣𝙩 𝙤𝙣 𝙙𝙚𝙫𝙤𝙪𝙧𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙝𝙚𝙧 𝙨𝙤𝙪𝙡.
