afoolsingenuity 's review for:
Blood Bound
by Patricia Briggs
After reading the first book it was obvious to me that I was going to enjoy the second. It had mystery, romance, conflict, drama and a whole heap of sass and humour to make this a fun read. Were there things I disliked about it? Very much so, but those things I disliked didn't detract from my enjoyment of the book as a whole.
I loved Mercy just as much in the second book as the first. I loved that she recognised her weaknesses when it came to the whole vampire mystery, and then chose to ignore all common sense when it was necessary to help those closest to her. Mercy is a strong, sensible woman who recognises where her strengths lie, but then doesn't let her weaknesses rule her and stop her from doing what she knows to be right. That is exactly the kind of heroine you want to be reading about. Not one who continually waits around to be rescued and gets herself into trouble because she doesn't know better. She gets herself into trouble despite the fact she knows better.
I will say the thing which annoys me most in the book, though. It is the same thing which annoyed me in Moon Called, why does there have to be a love triangle? Why does there have to be conflict created around multiple love interests? This bothers me a lot in this book with the various potential love interests Mercy has. I like a lot of these characters and don't want to end up hating them because they at the wrong end of the romance triangle (do triangles have wrong ends?).
I will persevere. I've already begun eyeing up the third book. I am optimistic things will get better as the books go on and gets onto surer footing, but until then I'm enjoying it despite my annoyances.
