Daughter of the Blood by Anne Bishop


My rating: 3 of 5 stars
Excerpts from a stream of consciousness transcript as I read this series:

"So that's his brother? Ah, right, his brother with wings. . . . Saetan Sa Diablo? For serious? . . . Magical cockring of Obedience! . . . Aww, that's actually pretty cute. Family togetherness, d'aww. . . . Ew! Ew Ew! He just circumcised someone with his teeth! . . . Oh, look, the unicorns just showed up. . . . Someone else is in a killing rage, yawn. . . . Magical cockring of honor! . . . So he has wings, and also apparently pon farr. . . . Oh, ahahaha, the unicorns aren't going to perform the wedding ceremony are they? . . . Of course they are."

The breakdown: 90% cheerfully sexist fluffy fluff about family and love. 9% ridiculously over the top violence, sexual and otherwise. 1% plot and world building.

You guys. I just. I don't even. *hand gestures*

I love your reviews so hard.

Heh. Those books are, like, a direct IV infusion of id.

I can usually tell one of your reviews is going to be thumbs-down when you lump three or four serial novels together. *GG* Sort of an undifferentiated "...Naw".

Is it sad to say that after reading your comments I'm more intrigued than anything else? I want to know how the unicorns come in to play!

I read this a few years ago and I...still... *hand gestures*
