“The
- lyrical
- language
- of
- The
- Blood
- of
- Titans
- quickly
- drew
- me
- into
- this
- richly
- textured
- novel.
- I
- could
- smell
- the
- air,
- hear
- the
- music,
- and
- see
- the
- towns
- and
- sea
- and
- grasslands
- and
- mountains.
- Every
- scene
- comes
- to
- life.”

Many
- love
- stories
- targeted
- at
- African-American
- women
- are
- “urban
- romances,”
- featuring
- dubious
- protagonists
- such
- as
- strippers
- and
- thugs.
- In
- contrast,
- the
- characters
- of
- this
- book
- have
- a
- Shakespearean
- dignity.
- With
- rousing
- depictions
- of
- sword
- battles,
- fights
- to
- the
- death
- with
- ferocious
- animals
- and
- other
- derring-do,
- the
- novel
- has
- plenty
- to
- offer
- both
- male
- and
- female
- fans
- of
- fantasy
- and
- the
- sword
- and
- sorcery genre.
