Réttara sagt þá segir hún frá því þegar hún sprautar sig með heróíni í miðri varúlfaveiði, varúlfurinn bítur hana í rassinn en þá "bjargar" vampýra henni með því að drepa varúlfinn og síðan hana. Eftir stendur vampúlfur eða varpýra, hálfur varúlfur og hálf blóðsuga, sem áttar sig fljótlega á því að hún er höfð að leiksoppi, peð í leik mikið öflugri afla. Textinn er þversagnakenndur, fullur af blótsyrðum og hliðarstökkum en um leiður fersklega ólíkur vandaðri frásögnum. Kathleen Tierney er "dulnefni" Caitlín R. Kiernan sem er þekkt fyrir vandaðan prósa og margverðlaunaðar fantasíur. Blood Oranges er leið hennar til að skrifa hráan og ruddalegan texta og það hefur tekist það vel hjá henni að fleiri bækur fylgdu fljótlega í kjölfarið á þessari. Scrappy foul-mouthed narrator finds herself involved with the nasties. She navigates some rough parts of Rhode Island and negotiates with mortals and others. Smart, funny and melancholy. I liked the distinct voices (esp. Mean Mr. B and Aloyisius the troll) very much. The Bride of Quiet is truly a frightening monniker. Even though I say it every time I review a book from one of my three favorite, contemporary authors, I'm going to say it again: Caitlin R. Kiernan is one of my favorite authors. I had high hopes starting the book and I was not disappointed. Kiernan, writing as Kathleen Tierney, maintains that punch you in the gut feeling, her characters are real, complex, and three-dimensional, even as she steps up her pace to make room for more action in her dark, urban (and edgy!) fantasy. Just a fantastically fun read! nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

"My name's Quinn. If you buy into my reputation, I'm the most notorious demon hunter in New England. But rumors of my badassery have been slightly exaggerated. Instead of having kung-fu skills and a closet full of medieval weapons, I'm an ex-junkie with a talent for being in the wrong place at the right time. Or the right place at the wrong time. Or...whatever. Wanted for crimes against inhumanity I (mostly) didn't commit, I was nearly a midnight snack for a werewolf until I was "saved" by a vampire calling itself the Bride of Quiet. Already cursed by a werewolf bite, the vamp took a pint out of me too. So now...now, well, you wouldn't think it could get worse, but you'd be dead wrong"-- Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |
