Simon Appleby, over at Bookgeeks, has read Blood Ties and reviewed it favourably.

Pamela Freeman’s fantasy debut, Book One of the Castings Trilogy, has lots of great ideas and interesting themes, and was a very enjoyable holiday read.

Thank you Simon.  Keep an eye out for the upcoming panel on Bookgeeks:  Stephen Baxter, Patrick Rothfuss, Sean Williams and I discuss creating believable science and magic in speculative fiction.  It was a fascinating exercise for me and makes great reading.
