Blood Heir by Ilona Andrews
3.0
I was recommended to the book because of the romance tag on Libby- there was none. But I kept reading for how unique the world was and the magic system too.
I have issues with how perfect the MC is. She’s too overpowered to the point she creates plot holes and it messes up the perfect war and fighting logistics she apparently has. Why was there so much expository? We need to keep a low profile but you keep just spilling your guts to everyone simply because you need their help? I’m sorry- didn’t you change your face to command a wizard or whatever as well as fighting fire-using wizard priests ?
She couldn’t magically compel people? Why did YOU PAY A STRANGER SO MUCH MONEY TO RENOVATE YOUR HOME only for it to consistently be broken into? We never questioned the role of the construction company in these break ins?
Also, we get SO MUCH EXPLANATION and backstory, translations, history, lore, origins of Wisconsin fake cryptids but you never are told what is up with the horse? Or anything else actually important?
Why are we arguing about politics???
I’ve never read this author before and besides maybe reading the next book, I don’t think I’ll be reading the rest of her work.
