Blood Debt, The Hallowed Hunt and A Fistful of Charms

[samvara]

A Fistful of Charms by Kim Harrison. Fun, very cheap, supernatural. I’ve been overexposed to hot, dense adrenalin junkie heroines with boyfriend problems. The series is decreasing in attractiveness and I don’t think I have the stamina to read the next book.

The Hallowed Hunt by Lois McMaster Bujold. Set in the same world as The Curse of Chalion and Paladin of Souls. This has wonderful layers of intrigue and characters to die for; I’m particularly in love with the warrior-prince-poet Jokol and his pet ice bear. A somewhat cranky swordsman Ingrey collects the body of a murdered prince, custody of the killer (a lovely young lady) and gets plunged into a spiritual, magical and political whirlwind.

Blood Debt by Tanya Huff. Fun, cheap, supernatural. Last in the series and a nice, solid case. I like Vicky Nelson and her personality problems; I also like her supernatural problems. This made me happy.

I only got half way through Fistful. It was so tedious! Each chapter was like a short story thrown in there. I care about the characters, but not enough to ignore the crappy pacing.

I was reading over my lunch break and getting a little chunk every day - unless I get a very boring patch I think I'll move on.

Fistful was disappointing, but the most recent one, I thought was really good - I don't want to spoil, but i was left heart torn by the end I was so involved in it. The end of the book - and no other to find out what happens next... i'm trying not to think of it too hard :P

I understand - I hope that like the end of Torchwood, you get there in your own time :)

*g* finishing Torchwood was a result of being able to multitask and having a very boring task to perform :p

mr_booboo gave me both to read - it's on a shelf waiting.
