Since I caught up on the Kate Daniels Series by Ilona Andrews, I have been anxious to read Moon Called. I've been looking to replace the paranormal/urban fantasy kick ass heroine sized hole in my heart. This did a good job of filling that hole.
This first book
was a good set up for the series and the world. The plot was a little slow to
start, there was a lot of set up, but I enjoyed the results. Mercy and her
friends went on a fast paced adventure that had me glued to the page!
Mercy was a
middle-of-the-road badass character. She had good instincts and her knowledge
of the paranormal world provided a great foundation. At times I was frustrated
she let other people take charge of the situation and she was written to be
weaker than a lot of the other characters. However, I'm hopeful she will hold
her own in the rest of the series.
My only big issue
so far was I could not gauge the relationships between characters very well.
The explanation of Mercy and Adam's antagonistic relationship at the beginning
of of the novel didn't seem to justify
the lengths she went to to help Adam and his daughter. Personally, I needed
more background on them to believe that part of the story.
I already have my
hands on book two and I'm going to keep rolling through this series I think!
