Dark Swan: Storm Born Volume 1

*NO Spoilers

As I said on my review of the Storm Born Comics, Volume 1 and 2, I am a HUGE Richelle Mead fan and her Dark Swan series is one of my favorite Urban Fantasy series EVER! THey were actually one of the first I have ever read and they have stuck with me ‘til this day. I was thoroughly impressed with Volume 1 and 2, that when I got a chance to read Volume 3, I was like “HELL YES!” LOL

First of all I have to say that it is very hard to review something so short. I mean, each Volume has around 32 pages and not much plot content at all.

However, it is quite spectacular to be able to see such amazing drawings and representations of characters I absolutely adore and this latest Volume was NOT an exception!

Storm Born is definitely an great example of that and the images are amazingly done and the the story is very well constructed to both include enough backstory and action to make you not want to put it down.

In this newest installment we finally get to see Dorian! OMG, the King is here LOL. So funny to look at him now, after all that has happened in the series and see him like the first time I saw him. I love him NOW, but at that time, I so didn’t hehe.

I still believe that both Dark Swan fans and newcomers will LOVE these and I will continue to totally recommend them! I cannot wait for the next volumes!

Quickie Series Catch-Up Reviews: This Side of The Grave {NH, #5} by Jeaniene Frost & Iron Crowned {DS, #3} by Richelle Mead

 

 

 

 

Danger waits on both sides of the grave.

Half-vampire Cat Crawfield and her vampire husband Bones have fought for their lives, as well as for their relationship. But just when they've triumphed over the latest battle, Cat's new and unexpected abilities threaten to upset a long-standing balance . . .

With the mysterious disappearance of vampires, rumors abound that a species war is brewing. A zealot is inciting tensions between the vampires and ghouls, and if these two powerful groups clash, innocent mortals could become collateral damage. Now Cat and Bones are forced to seek help from a dangerous "ally"—the ghoul queen of New Orleans herself. But the price of her assistance may prove more treacherous than even the threat of a supernatural war . . . to say nothing of the repercussions Cat never imagined.

This Side of the Grave (Night Huntress, Book 5)

*SPOILER FREE

The Good: Cat & Bones are back! I had been waiting for a long while and I loved getting to see one of my favorite fiction couples ever! However, i think my favorite part of the book was Vlad. We got to read quite a few scenes with him and it just made me look forward to his spin-off even more. 

The Bad: This wasn’t my favorite book in the series =/. I felt that something was missing. 

The Romance: I feel that since Cat and Bones are a stable couple, there could definitely have been more focus on the action and plot of the book.

 

 

Previously On The Night Huntress Series:

 

 

 

 

 

New York Times bestselling author Richelle Mead takes readers back to the Otherworld, an embattled realm mystically entwined with our world--and ruled by one woman's dangerous choice. . .

Shaman-for-hire Eugenie Markham is the best at banishing entities trespassing in the mortal realm. But as the Thorn Land's queen, she's fast running out of ways to end the brutal war devastating her kingdom. Her only hope: the Iron Crown, a legendary object even the most powerful gentry fear. . .

Who Eugenie can trust is the hardest part. Fairy king Dorian has his own agenda for aiding her search. And Kiyo, her shape-shifter ex-boyfriend, has every reason to betray her along the way. To control the Crown's ever-consuming powers, Eugenie will have to confront an unimaginable temptation--one that will put her soul and the fate of two worlds in mortal peril. . .

The Good: Eugene is back! It’s been so long since the last Dark swan book, that I was dying for Iron crowned! I wasn’t disappointed. So much action and series development in this book that left breathless. Great twists and turns =)

The Bad: I didn’t really love the way Eugenie handle the whole Kyo and Dorian issue =/

The Romance: A lot of romance of this one for both Team Kyo and Team Dorian. A lot of surprises as well hehe.
