| Subject: My nonspoilery review of Raven Cursed Wed Dec 28, 2011 9:13 pm | |
| My nonspoilery review of Raven Cursed:(Also posted on Goodreads. Note that since Goodreads allows me to hide spoilers, I've added a couple minor ones to the Goodreads review.) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Raven Cursed opens with Jane in charge of security for a parley between master vampires. Jane is confident and competent in her duties. But after a while the vampire politics takes a backseat to a mess involving witches, werewolves, and Jane's ex-boyfriend Rick, and even Jane's abilities are taxed. Raven Cursed has Jane at her independent and slightly feral best, but with a guilt syndrome that seems out of place in such a competent woman. Beast is as fantastic as ever. I love great sidekicks or minor characters, and the reason I enjoy these books is Beast's down-to-business, literal, and outright horny inner voice. Jane continues to defy Beast and maintain emotional distance from others, which is a huge tease now that she has so many interested men in her life. I found myself cheering for Beast as she insists that these men are good, strong mates! This book takes Jane away from New Orleans to Asheville North Carolina and the surrounding rural areas. Camping, rafting, hiking -- Jane's all over it. Because of the change in setting, Leo and his bloodservant Bruiser are mostly absent from this book. While I missed them, I did grow fond of the B-twins and became more intrigued with Gregoire. The change in setting allows more focus on Molly and her witchy family, who live in the Asheville area. I wanted to slap Big Evan silly, squish Angie Baby and Little Evan into a tight hug, and sit down over a cup of tea with Molly and her sisters. Except Evil Evie. She's not invited to my make-believe tea party! Faith Hunter deftly writes thorough and detailed mythology with interconnected plots. Now that the series is on it's 4th installment, the backstory (-ies) has gotten large. If it's been a while since you've read the previous books in the series, a reread of at least Mercy Blade may be in order before diving into Raven Cursed. I also recommend reading the shorts in Cat Tales, especially "Cat Tats" and "Blood, Fangs, and Going Furry". I rate Raven Cursed 4.5 out of 5.0 stars. Thanks to Penguin for providing an advanced copy! | |

"Licked away flavor of witch. Tasty." | |

| And for today's random out of context quote I give you...
"Between a witch and a bespelled Mithran? Do you have a death wish?"
Did Jane just say that?! | |

| Because I love you guys I'll throw you a bone and give you some context with today's quote. Molly's sister is saying this to Jane about Molly.
"No. We have to stab her first." | |

| OoKaay! Stabbing Molly. They must be trying to remove a spell. Either that or they are using her for vampire bait! Can't decide. | |
