a_h_haga 's review for:
Blood of the Earth
by Faith Hunter
REREAD 2021
I stand by everything I said in my original review, but I also want to add a little something:
I've been rereading the Yellowrock-series as well, and I've been feeling that the later books weren't quite as much for me as the first time I listened to them. I'm not the biggest fan of the ''standard UF heroine'' anymore, and so Jane isn't really holding my attention. But Nell do! And I was so happy to find myself flying through this book!
Can't wait to start the next one! Even if I have to read another Jane book before that
----------------------------------
This book has been hanging out in my Audible library for years now, it seems. Originally, I didn't want to start it before I'd caught up with [b:Skinwalker|5585788|Skinwalker (Jane Yellowrock, #1)|Faith Hunter|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1400516601l/5585788._SY75_.jpg|5757031]/Jane Yellowrock-series, then I considered not starting it before the original series was finished. Then I realized that might be a while, so I just said screw it.
I'm glad I did, for I enjoyed it. I like Nell and her kick-assedness that is not trained the way it is for Jane and most other UF heroines. I like the way she lives and how she prioritizes things. And I like her kind of magic much better than Jane's kind. Those that's been following me a while now know that the books in the Yellowrock-series that gets the highest ratings are those where Molly and her family plays a big role, after all.
My biggest problem with this book, was the Christianity. At least in the beginning, then it evolved into a storyline that was interesting and that I agree with. How we humans read and use the ''holy books'' for our own gain, and how that affects the way people look at it.
All in all, it was a good book, and I'm more than ready to listen on to the series - even if I know it won't be only these four books.
