A re-read.This is one of Briggs earlier novels, before the Mercy Thompson series, and its a stand-alone. Its a nice book with interesting characters, but I read it just after Moon Called, and the contrast was glaring. This book is much less mature. The heroes are less alive. The plot is less focused. The relationships are less realistic. Nevertheless, I enjoyed it but I would caution you: dont read it back to back with Briggs later novels, either Mercy Thompson or Alpha & Omega.A nice stand alone fantasy.
This just didn't do it for me. It somehow managed to be both extraordinarily boring and weird.
It's a credit to Briggs that I was on my library's website and, on impulse, thought, "Eh, whatever. Let's order The Hob's Bargain." If your booklist is anywhere near as large as mine, books might have the tendency to disappear in the other large amount of books. A lot. I wasn't looking at any of Briggs books at the time. I wasn't looking at paranormal books, that I can remember. But I remembered the title of the book, the author, and I remembered Caefawn's tail.Isn't that so weird? I just
Unfulfilled Fantasy PotentialAren has been married to Daryn all of one day when raiders appear, killing her entire family. She feels guilty, knowing she had the sight, and might have been able to save them had she not been so busy hiding her ability from those that would kill her. Now, she must find a way to get rid of the raiders and the magical creatures that have suddenly appeared.I adore Patricia Briggs. The first book of hers I read, Steal the Dragon, completely captivated me. It was
Sassy, spunky, sweet! I loved it!This was one of those books that pulled on all my heartstrings because of "Oh! So many things...!"Two lonely souls coming together in a tale full of magic, mischief and merriment! Yes! I am one of those people... :DNow don't go thinking this is one of those books that will give you fiery romps between the sheets! If you're looking for hot stuff like that, you've got to look elswhere matey, cause you won't find it here! Mrs. Briggs gives us only a very little
This was a lovely book. Although short, it was a full meal, rich with humor, magic, the struggle between good and evil, and a nice little romance.Aren was a great heroine. You see her go from meek and frightened to powerful and independent in her own right. Ms. Briggs excels at writing loveable characters who I care about, cheering along as they grow, and as they fight the good fight. She did a great job of showing Aren come into knowledge of her gifts, and I admired her ability to survive so
