Hunting Season by Annie Bellet
5.0
Yaaaassss. Queen. Slay all day. This series keeps getting better and better. Jade Crow is just killing it. (pun intended)
This book has more of all the fun stuff. More magic, more gore, more action and definitely more backstory. We are learning a bit about her past and that maybe
'"We fight with what we have," he murmured. "Not what we wish to have.
"Okay, Obi-Wan." I nipped his chin and settled into his arms.
"I am not quoting Star Wars," he said, glaring down at me in mock annoyance.
"No, but you sound wise for your years."
"Protect you, I will," he said. "Love you, I do."'"
there is something special about her. Ya. I know, not exactly the most original plot device. But, you know what that is ok. It is a plot device because it is useful. Bellet is not slamming us over the head with the fact that there is something unknown about Jade. There just is. Deal with it and we will find out in due time.
Also, I have to say that I totally dig all the gaming and pop culture references. On one hand, it gives a subtle nod to those of us out there who appreciate geekdom, on the other hand, it might make it so this book doesn't have the longevity for reading that other series might have. It is one of the reasons I enjoyed "Ready Player One" so much. I am a child of the eighties and totally got the references. It was a roller coaster in pop culture awesomeness.
Also. Unicorns. My head just exploded a little.
