Blood Like Fate by Liselle Sambury is the sequel to Blood Like Magic – completing the duology. I was a little nervous to pick this one up as Blood Like Magic was a slower read for me and I just kind of want to read more books lately — not be stuck on the same one forever. However, it turns out that this book was better than I had anticipated. I ended up liking the story a lot for the most part.
You should probably stop here if you don’t want to be spoiled for Blood Like Magic. This story continues soon after the first book leaves off. Voya has passed her calling and has two gifts. She’s also the family matriarch as Granny passed away in the first book. Additionally, Luc is no longer talking to her. Keis can’t leave the house and is also mad at Voya. Voya has had a vision which shows the witch community in danger. And so, she forms a council to find out what may come and prevent it. Voya believes if the witch community teams up, they can stop whatever happens.
I found Blood Like Fate to be a bit more captivating than the previous book. Maybe it is because I felt like all the characters were familiar with a few exceptions. Or perhaps it was because the stakes seemed higher in this book. The pacing was definitely faster. I thought the way the story wrapped up was artfully done and with a few twists that I did not see coming. Also, I loved the representation — the diversity in characters. This was a solid duology to kick off my autumn reading with — pick up if you want a futuristic story about witches who are Black.
