Book Reviews of Moon Called (Mercy Thompson Series, Book 1)
Book Review: Really liked this book
Summary: 5 Stars
I'm a really big fan of Laurell K. Hamilton and Kim Harrison so this book was a great find for me. I was ensnared in the plot fairly quickly and was very suprised that I liked the character of Mercy. I know absolutely nothing about cars or mechanics, but Briggs weaves that part of it into the book very well. It takes a very skilled writer to do 1st person well and Briggs pulls it off without a hitch. I will definately be buying the next one in the series.
Five stars for engaging characters, great plot and wonderful story weaving!!
Book Review: A boring waste of money
Summary: 1 Stars
I am so mad I believed all the good reviews this book received. I bought it and could not even finish it. I forced myself to make it halfway then I gave up. I kept waiting for something to happen but it never did.
First of all the plot was lame. And as another writer points out, there were tons of waste. Probably to make the word count.
Second, because it was written in first person, you never got any interaction from the other characters. This leaves you with only what could be "seen" from the heroine, who by the way was also boring, leaving flat characters that had potential but couldn't deliver.
Not sure if this was fantasy fiction or paranormal, but I won't be reading another by this author.
Wish I could get my money back.
Book Review: Good Story, Poor Writing
Summary: 1 Stars
I have never written a reveiw for a book before online, but this one I had to.
The writing in Moon Called is terrible. The paragraphs have sentences that nearly all begin with "I..". Also, the author writes about things that are irrelevant to the story, such as the actions she takes to go to bed or walk outside. There is no need for all the junk the writer puts in this book. It actually irritated me so bad becuase of these two things that I had to stop a little after the middle of teh book. Thinking it was just my mood that turned me off of this book, I tried to read it again six months later, but I couldn't make it past the third chapter.
Although it was irritating having to read all of the usless facts and sentences that all begin the same, the story line is good. The idea that a shape shifter has to deal with and even help an aggressive werewolf society is very interesting. I have to admit that the story line is what kept me going for as long as I could.
Book Review: not the best, but not the worst
Summary: 3 Stars
I had looked forward to getting this book for a while and when I ot it I was slightly dissapointed. Mercy in the book is a mechainic, and she able to change her form into a coyote. She lives next door to an alpha male werewolf. This is a romance book minus the romance. It does have a good story, and the plot is good, but if you are seeking smut and romance this is not the book.Book Review: Keep reading!
Summary: 5 Stars
I decided to read this book since it was recommended by one of my favorite authors, Kim Harrison. The book good, i would have really liked to get to know the characters a little more. I really liked the plot and she has a great writing style. I stuck with it and i'm almost finished the next book Blood Bound, which i like a little better, only because we are getting to know more of the characters personalities. I just ordered the third in the series.
