"These two stories are interesting, but it felt like something was missing. The heroine is a shaman who fights fae and can move between our world and the fae world (Otherworld). She later finds out that she is half fae with tremendous potential power.
Although the Otherworld exists in our present day time, the inhabitants have not embraced technology. The combination of the two worlds in this story didn't work for me.
Love triangles are great, but they seem common in Richelle Mead's work and I'm growing a little weary of them. Especially when there is little build-up to the relationship and the reader is left scratching their head as to how the heroine is in love with two people. I guess I'm saying that the relationships weren't believable.
I read the books quickly, but I didn't really enjoy them. I wanted to know the conclusion so I pressed on."
"Eugenie Markham/Odile seorang shaman, mengusir spirit yang mengganggu manusia Suatu saat Odile diminta untuk menyelamatkan seorang anak yang diculik ke dunia lain/otherworld Odile terpaksa menyeberang ke dunia lain Disana ditemukan kenyataan tentang kelahirannya Siapa ayah Odile yang sesungguhnya Belum lagi ramalan yang menyebutkan kalo anak Odile bakal jadi penguasa otherworld, ga aneh donk kalo jadi banyak makhluk otherworld yang mencoba punya anak dengan Odile *bahkan dengan cara paksaan* ;p Terus ada Kiyo, salah satu makhluk dari dunia lain yang menjadi kekasih Odile, tapi apa iya Kiyo ga ada hubungan apa2 dengan Maiwenn salah satu penguasa di Otherworld Akhirnya Odile berhasil ga siy nyelamatin Jasmine anak perempuan yang diculik? terus siapa ya Jasmine sebenarnya...
Banyak yang ngagetin niy siapa Odile, siapa Jasmine, hoho tipikal Richelle Mead tokoh utama cewe yang keren, hubungan ama cowonya yang agak2 susah tercapai banyak halangan gitu hihihi"
"Storm Born is really just like the any other Richelle Mead book, except that it has more sexual content*. The heroines are all witty and excellent in their chosen field. The hero is always someone on the other side.
In Storm Born: Heroine - Shaman who banishes faeries and creatures of that sort. Hero - A kitsune, one of the creatures.
In Succubus Blues: Heroine - A succubus, sucking the life out of human men. Hero - A human man.
See?
The concept was interesting but predictable; except for the twist near the end, I found myself pretty bored reading this. I must say that it does not bode well for her upcoming series (if there are any). I mean, up till the twentieth chapter, my eyes were just making the motions of reading, and nothing much was being absorbed. And then only did the plot finally come together and showed me the reason why I love Richelle Mead's books.
Overall it's not one of her greater works. It's a harsh review, but it just seemed like too much of a good thing.
*In her adult series, the heroine is not exactly faithful to the hero. While I'm not a prude, I have to wonder what sort of example she's showing. :S"
"I enjoyed most of this book. This is my first Richelle Mead story. I really liked Eugenie Markham as a heroine. She was strong, tough, gritty but also she was vulnerable without being needy and whiny. She talks the talk and walked the walk. The love triangle was interesting. I rather like both men, Dorian, the Faery King, and Kiyo, the Shape-Shifter. Both men have good and bad points. It was interesting how the story unfolded and the shape it took on. The plot was OK. There was a lot of talk about rape, but when there is a prophecy that says the son of the heir of the Storm King will rule the world, I guess every bad guy wants in on the action, by any means necessary.
