I've been trying to figure out what to put in this review. It's difficult because (a) I love Ausma Zehanat Khan, so writing a thoughtful review that is more than just fan-girling is hard, and (b) there's so much going on in this book and this series that I want to both avoid spoilers, but still convince people to read the books. It is a series that among people I know is underrated and under-read.The Blue Eye is book three in The Khorasan Archives, a Fantasy series that features a unique magical...
Getting a bit annoyed by the chasing after assorted manuscripts and the starcrossed love affair. And i get that Arian and the Silver Mage and Sinnia are all beautiful people. Stop with the superlative adjectives already.

Trigger and content warnings are spoiler tags.(view spoiler)[ Trigger/Content Warnings: This book features racism, violence against women, and male rape. (hide spoiler)]Having adored the first two books in The Khorasan Archives series by Ausma Zehanat Khan, I eagerly dove into the third and penultimate book, The Blue Eye, and bloody loved it!Interestingly, despite the previous book in the series, The Black Khan, being quite action-packed with a lot happening, The Blue Eye felt like it suffere...
This series just keeps getting better and better. Gimme more!!!!!
A powerful fantasy novel with a gripping and entertaining plot and a cast of fantastic characters.This is a great instalment in a great series, it made wish the last novel was already there.I love the style of writing, the well crafted plot, the amazing world building and the well thought and interesting cast of characters.Highly recommended!Many thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for this ARC, all opinions are mine.
This is one of the best fantasy series I have ever read. The third installment is just as great as the previous two. I can’t wait for be last one in the series! The writing is intense and grabs you from the first sentence. The perfect balance of strong female characters, romance, action and an interwoven historic and spiritual backdrop. It comments on the state of the world today while also showing the hope that needs to be awoken in each of us. Once again, like the other books in this series, t...
It was an okay read. I give it a 2.50
A gripping fantasy novel which is the third book in the Khorasan Archive series taking the conflict to a darker, deadlier place, and setting the stage for the reader that leads to a great ending - a must read !!!
3.75 starsStill just bewildered by the difference in quality between this book and the last one?!CW: violence; blood; war; brief references to anti-Blackness
I won this book and never received it..
This saga continues with Arian and Sinnia trying desperately to retrieve the Bloodprint for the Companions of the Claim. While they were captive the Black Khan made off with the Bloodprint hoping to tap into it's power and awaken the magic held dormant inside him. He has locked away his brother Darius who's own magic shines. His sister Darya begs him to release their brother but her pleas fall on deaf ears. Darya is in love with Arsalan but Arsalan is in love with The Black Khan her brother, Pri...
3.5 starsThe Khorasan Archives is certainly a series I find myself getting more engaged with the further I read. This was a much easier, faster read than the other two.The book is split between Arian's quest and the battle for Ashfall. The battle is pretty desperate, with a lot of moving pieces and bad decisions that made it feel like a house of cards waiting to fall. It was a pretty compelling situation, and I was often eager to return to that half and see how they were going to stay alive a li...
I liked this book better than the second... but I’m not sure it’s a conclusion! The author could just leave it there but it certainly sounds to me like there is at least another book. I want another book to tie things together and because I’m not done with the characters.
The Blue Eye continues the quest upon quest and add a handful of side quests that The Khorasan Archives series seems to be exeling at. I liked the plot and all the character development and new discoveries about characters. The only time my suspension of disbelief was on the verge of breaking was when one character kept reappearing all the darn time like a cockroach. I guess it made the whole action part fun and it's good that the characters have antagonists that they can't beat that easily, but...
4.5 stars
Originally posted at Chain InteractionI should probably start with a little bit of context, which I always find helpful when thinking about later books in a series.I actually purchased both The Bloodprint and The Black Khan for myself, but I ended up getting rid of them in a series of book purges over the last two years. If you’ve followed my booktube channel you’ll know that my criteria for keeping a book on my shelf is that I have to be able to see myself re-reading it. In the case of the firs...
The adventure continues, deepening the history and characters, exposing us to new cultures, upping the ante, and ratcheting up the tension toward the conclusion coming in Bladebone. Part city under siege and part journey across the desert, Blue Eye keeps the action and intrigue moving along at a good pace. Looking forward to the next and final book!
The third book in a possible four book series, The Blue Eye, again features Arian a strong female protagonist who is facing implacable misogynist foes. Arian’s has a manipulative vocal power she uses to escape a series of problems. Arian seems to find herself on one quest after another. The Silver Mage finds himself betrayed by the Black Khan. As I said upon reading the second book, the problem with reading series one book at a time is continuity. The first fifty pages of this book were taxing m...
Ausma Zehanat Khan is my new favourite author.
