Of Blood and Honey managed to win me over despite relying far too much one of the literary tricks that drives me batty every single time I see it. That's saying something. But still, it was at times an aggravating read. There are so many things that are good here, and then so many things that I want...
Of Blood and Honey isn't a terrible book but it also isn't all that good either. There were bits and pieces that I thoroughly enjoyed and found interesting but altogether the book failed to leave any sort of impression on me. It all felt very formulaic and for the life of me I couldn't connect to ou...
Of Blood and Honey is a raw, bitter and bloodthirsty book. There is an undercurrent of brutal honesty which is hard to swallow, mostly because it talks openly about Northern Ireland and what it had to go through in the 1970s.On the other hand it has an early urban fantasy feel, so if you liked War f...
Slightly confused as to what to think of this now I'm at the end. Quite a wobbly way from start to finish. While I'm sure I liked it (though sometimes it was more like three stars rather than four), I can't seem to form a cohesive sentence about it.It's very different to what I expected, and I don't...
Probably closer to 3.5 than a 3. Pretty interesting world and I liked the writing. Leicht does a good job invoking the time and place as well as making the story quite emotionally charged. On the other hand, the narrative jumps around a bit so the flow is a bit uneven. I do feel there is quite a b...
The Troubles. Here, in America, it is not too uncommon to find people who don't even know where Ireland is on a map. Truly. It's funny watching people read Swift's Modest Propsal and seeing that they believe Swift was serious. Honestly, it makes me want to yell at them; and I'm not even Irish! I...
Maybe I have been reading too many urban fantasies with kick-ass heroines lately, but it was really refreshing reading one with a male lead and set in 1970's troubled Ireland. The story follows Liam, a young Catholic, who seems to always be in the wrong place at the wrong time. After 3 years in two ...
Of Blood and Honey is a debut novel you do not want to miss reading... Dark, gritty urban fantasy full of magic, myth and very real horrors that mankind as well as the supernatural inflicted on each other... I was drawn in to this story of Liam, his mother Kathleen, step father Patrick and his "Fey"...
