Blood Trinity, by Kenyon and Love - 1.5

alright.  here's the book:


and here's my rating:  1.5.

I normally enjoy Kenyon's stuff.  She's one of my favorite authors.  Somehow, though, I can't get into this story.  I read a few chapters, and it is just not doing it for me.

alright, alright, if I didn't finish the book, the rating should be a 1, right?  I'm giving it a 1.5, because chances are that I'll be really bored someday, with nothing to read, and will end up picking it up and slogging through it.  Because Kenyon is usually a good author, as is Love.  Therefore, based on my opinion of the authors themselves, I gave the book half-finished credit.

I think my issue with the story is that I have no mythology framework to build on.  If I'm going to be reading about demons and gods and so on, I need to know how that magic/belief system works.  I'm perfectly alright with coming to understand a new mythology/magic system as the story unfolds, but the necessary details for this story weren't coming.  The plot was developing and progressing, and I still had no framework for the magic to be built on.  I'm not explaining myself very well here, the words aren't coming out correctly... but basically the magic/powers of the characters in this book weren't being explained well enough for me.  It irritated the snot out of me, and I gave up. 

perhaps, if/when I end up re-attempting this book in the future, things will make more sense as I get further into it, and I'll have to make another post about it then.  For now though, I wouldn't suggest this one.
