Books
Settling down a bit and making time to write about books! I did read some in April, some good some not so good.
Falling i
n the not so good category. Kiss of a demon king - Kresley Cole. I don't know what it is is with this writer, the series is so uneven. Some of them I really enjoyed, about half of them. Those have a good story and interresting characters. But this one falls into the category of hardly any story and way too much sex scenes. I like the romance with an occasional sex scenes [only a few writers are exceptions here like laurel hamilton] for the rest my imagination can do that trick itself, thank you very much. There was hardly any story in this one and it was pretty boring. Not sure I will go for the next one.
Then I start in men of the otherworld, by Kelley Armstrong. Now I love her
otherworld series, especially if the books are about the werewolves or Paige and Lucas. This one tells the backstory of Jeremy and Clayton. Now so far, half way through, no woman has appeared in the book and yet I love it. Jeremy is one of my favorite characters ever and I am enjoying reading more about it. See there doesn't need to be sex to get a woman interrrested. :) Right now I am putting all other books aside to finish this one and that is saying a lot.
On the historical front I am reading Child of the phoenix Barbara Erskine. and with this one I am struggling as well. I bought the book because it is ab
out Eleyne [Ellen] the daughter of Llewelyn and Joanna. Characters I am familiar with from Sharon Penman's books and I have come to see them in a certain light. The Joan in this book is not a likable person as well and neither is Llewelyn and I really don't like that. They are long time favorites of mine and it is almost as if someone is badmouthing friends of mine. Very weird, especially as I know they must have had their faults and maybe this is closer to the historical truth. There are too little records left over from those days to be sure. The one thing we do know and that is not questioned in this book is that Llewelyn loved his wife very much. He forgave her adultery, he killed the man in question, but took his wife back after imprisoning her for only two year.
