A Steeping of Blood by Hafsah FaizalMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Hafsah Faizal concludes her second duology in grand fashion, shifting away from the tea and the Six of Crows heistery in favor of saving Ceylan, among other nations, from the dreadful colonization efforts from the Ram and the East Jeevant Company. In that respect, this book plays out with a bit of inspiration from Pirates of the Caribbean, with vampires instead of undead sea monsters. And as the story wears on, an Arawiyan artifact comes into play, revealing the true depths of the Ram’s ambitious colonial depravity. It’s a bittersweet ending to this series to be sure, but it wouldn’t be a grand drama of tea and blood otherwise to bid it a proper ave atque vale.
