Thank you so much to TBR and Beyond Tours for allowing me to take part in this tour for Blades of Furry, Vol. 1.I saw the cover for this book a while ago and was immediately intrigued by the premise. I needed to know very little. It looked stunning and I was sold on the book! So I was very appreciative when TBR and Beyond chose me as one of the people to be part of this wonderful tour. Make sure to check out the schedule to follow along with this wonderful tour.

Enter the high stakes world of battle skating in this rivals-to-lovers romance based on the spectacularly popular webcomic.
Emile is an up-and-coming rookie in battle skating, a sport that combines the grace of figure skating with the high impact sparring of martial arts. Just as he is gearing up to fight in his next duel at the championships, there’s a change in the lineup! To his horror, he’ll have to face off against reigning champion Radu, the best battle skater in the world (and Emile’s longtime skating idol). There’s no way he can win!
During a pivotal moment in their match, however, Emile discovers Radu’s most closely guarded secret…and it’s a bloody one. This could destroy Radu’s career for good, but when feelings start to develop between them both on and off the rink, will this rivalry turn into something more...?
Based on the WEBTOON hit comic with over forty million views and half a million subscribers, this irresistible story full of heart-pounding romance, breathtaking skate battles, and secrets both good and bad is now available in a gorgeous print edition that includes never-before-seen content!
Review:
I didn't really know what to expect from this graphic novel. I knew the basic premise of it, but that was all. I didn't know what the art would be like or what the story would really involve. And I think reading this was such a good decision. I can understand why this book became a hit on WebToon.
The illustrations are gorgeous. I think that much is clear just from the cover. They manage to capture the scenes and tones of this book spectacularly.
The battle skating sounds and looks so freaking awesome in this!! Like I wouldn't ever want to participate (I know my strengths and weaknesses and this is definitely a weakness), but I would watch a cartoon just about this premise. They want to make this comic into a show? I am ready for it! Consider me signed up!
