Alexander Diaz _lexander_ohn_iaz — I will forever maintain that Sandman is the best comic ever written. Gaiman was originally given the task of resurrecting a not particularly interesting golden age DC superhero, and instead, managed to change comics forever. He created the Endless- Destiny, Death, Destruction, Dream, Desire, Despair, and Delirium (who used to be delight), created a whole new mythology based on so many sources- Greek/Roman/Egyptian/Norse mythology, fairy tales, fables, DC comic book characters, and of course, Gaiman's own brilliant, twisted psyche. Even if you don't think you like comic books, you should read the Sandman books. They are not like any "comic" you have ever read before, and Gaiman is a true genius.

Pedro Noronha pedronoronb2ea — I can’t believe this is the first Merry Gentry book that I’ve reviewed on my website. And that makes me sad as this series has been great, up until this book. When I read in the book’s acknowledgments that Hamilton had an O-dark-thirty moment while writing this novel I got concerned. I’d still highly recommend this series to anyone, just be sure to start with the first book in the series so that you’ll fall in love with all the main characters and you’ll forgive this book’s few shortcomings. This is book is filled with plenty of Hamilton’s sharp wit, racy sex and steadfast loyalty. For example, Merry contemplates that having morning sickness in front of the murderers would certainly cause a distraction, but it wouldn’t actually be professional. While Hamilton is famous for her sexually explicit bedroom scenes, this book lacked the passion that she usually inspires. I started to feel like whenever Hamilton didn’t know what to do with the current mystery she threw Merry into bed. While these scenes certainly inspire lust, they lack an emotional connection which turns lust into passion. The trouble was that Merry’s lovers in this book aren’t the men she loves. They are men that she feels responsible for as the princess but that isn’t love and it shows. Merry’s loyalty to the Faerie is what drives this series but over the course of 8 books she has collected more followers than we can count on all our fingers and toes. Too many cooks will spoil the soup, and too many characters will muddle the story. It was hard to focus on what this story was about when every time someone entered a scene we got a summary of their history with Merry. It just ruined the pace of this book’s mystery which would have actually been pretty good if it had been given center stage. For example, Hamilton ends this story with a status update on everyone around her. In just the final page and a half of the book all these characters are mentioned: Adair, Adam, Amatheon, Barinthus, Brennan, Brii, Cathbodua, Dogmaela, Doyle, Frost, Galen, Ivi, Jeremy, Julian, Maeve, Merry, Mistral, Rhys, Royal, Saraid, Usna, and Uther. Twenty-two characters, most of which really didn’t have an active role in this book’s core mystery. Yet the history for each of these characters was provided during this book. It is no wonder this book felt slow and methodical. Just introducing them all with one or two lines would fill a decent sized novella. The ending certainly felt like a good-bye to Merry but I hope that Hamilton has one more Merry book in her so that we could see the birth of her children. She has alluded to another Merry book on her blog but it sounds like it might be a long wait until we read it. Maybe Hamilton is saving the rest of her story for a spin-off about the children. One could hope.
