I first read this series years ago, and I still have the shiny paperback copies that I bought then. They made the cut to move from California to Hawaii, and they live next to the Jill Kismet series, The Demon's Librarian and Dark Watcher. I have The Hedgewitch Queen books on my tablet. All of this is to say that I fell for Lilith Saintcrow in a big way when I first read her work.That is why it is so painful to me to re-read the Dante Valentine series and be bitterly disappointed by theThese books were interesting but my God, could Dante whine any more?! And Japhrimel just doing whatever he wants and forcing her along for the ride was irritating. Grow a backbone, woman!! The books were interesting but not really worth reading more then once. More developement of the psions and maybe a different, non-demon bad guy would have been nice. It was basically the same story over and over again. Blech.
intriguing concept, and I enjoyed the alt-earth the author created. however, for the love of all that is noodly, how many times can the characters fight-makeup-tell secrets-rinse-repeat before you MOVE ON WITH THE DAMN STORY??I powered through all 5 books to see what some of the big secrets that Japh was hiding from Dante...and they were meh at best. you want a demon-dealing witch? read some Kim Harrison.
Do people actually realize how much of urban fantasy has your typical kick-butt heroine that is a "damaged surviver, that wins against impossible odds using a tougher then nails attitude and combat skills" ? Around ninety percent. Buffy is probably to blame, but Buffy was special. She was goofy, and imperfect, and needed people. She was also very willing to NOT hurt someone. If she had a chance to not fight she always took it. At heart Buffy wasn't about being a very strong female. It was about
When?A 1285 page book - an omnibus of five different novels. When did I find out when the novel took place? In the author's afterward. Page 1278. By the slaughtering of place names, culture names, and religious names, I knew it took place in "the future", but I was guessing 50-100 years. It was 600.Where?Back to the slaughtered place names. As a result of fragmented "that kinda sounds like" names, I didn't really have a sense of where we were in the world for most of the book. Talking about the
Occasionally I come across a series I hate so much I have to like it. I really liked book one. I love angels and demons and a strong female lead. Dante is sassy almost to the point of irritation. I really like Japhrimel but his character at times was hard to swallow... That said I did sorta love him by the end and then (view spoiler)[had my heart ripped out (hide spoiler)].Book two made me love Jace and then (view spoiler)[ripped my heart out AGAIN (hide spoiler)] Then I was tricked into feeling
Okay, the first book was good and the second one was tolerable.But the others,the last three, made me want to throw the book down,shred it into pieces. Now that i think about it, Jaf falling for Dante after 2 days, and Dante's 'ye i love you too but let me think about my collection of lovers through out the entire series' mode does not make sense at all. I regret starting to this series. I understand the need to create a new universe,but the constant critizitation of religions and beliefs made
