Blessed Island is very restful he sleeps an unusually long time each day, but then he starts to discover that he’s having a very difficult time remembering why he came.Inspired by the controversial 1915 painting Midvinterblot by Swedish artist Carl Larsson, Sedgwick writes his creepy tale of reoccurring sacrifice in seven parts starting in the future and going back to prehistory. He falls in love with a young woman named Merle. He’s come in the hope of a story about a place where people, it’s rumored, “have started to live forever.” He finds the people there friendly, if a bit strange. Blessed Island is north of the Arctic Circle, in the land of the midnight sun, and very isolated. Midwinter Blood is like finding a piece of valuable treasure! Read moreįree lance journalist Eric Seven arrives on Blessed Island in 2073. This book will have both young and adult readers enjoying it. I want to go back and comment and say that this book was in a sense time travel but more reincarnation. So I knew how the story ended but it was cool to get to go backwards and see how it all started. The refreshing thing I loved about this book was that the stories were told from future to past or the beginning. I am not usually a fan of time travel but loved it for this book. Each one added to the whole tale as a whole piece of the pie. The seven stories just flowed from one to the next. Good because it was that great and bad because this book already was a fast read with short chapters. This was both a good thing and a bad thing. Well those were quickly put aside once I started reading this book. While, this book did sound good I still had my reservations about it going into the book. To be honest this is not the type of book that I would typically purchase for myself but always willing to try new authors.
I have never read anything by this author. Not just a past life but six other lives.
Eric realizes that he has met Merle before in a past life. Eric has a feeling that he has met her before.
He has heard stories about the island and the people there that do not age.
