Blood Dawn begins by pulling you in through the mind of Rena, a weaver with a rare gift and a secret past. Through her eyes, Robin introduces a dark world full of magic and intrigue, masterfully revealing hidden dangers and secrets one morsel at a time, each glimpse leaving the reader wanting more. He then deftly changes the point of view, allowing more of the well-crafted world to reveal itself through beautiful imagery and engaging dialogue. The first three chapters of Blood Dawn contain triumphant storytelling made unique by the juxtaposition of a world without art told with a painter-like use of color. I can’t wait to read more.
