Didn’t Like It1 of 1 members found this review helpful “oh, for the love of .... plot! add a frigging plot. if you take out the sex in this series you might have enough plot for a single 250 page book. sex is nice in moderation. I found myself skipping over the sex to find out what miniscule movement there was in the plot.” see full review » see other reviews » |

“Meredith Gentry #3: Seduced by Moonlight, by Laurell K. Hamilton

I'm having a difficult time writing something about this book, and I read it only two days ago. To me, "Seduced by Moonlight" is just kinda there. The book seems like a bridge between the previous two in the series and the upcoming installments - it doesn't really feel like a whole lot happens.
However, some important events did happen. Merry extended her alliance with the goblins through some unique (and long) negotiating. An important artifact of the sidhe, a legendary chalice that could feed thousands without going empty and raise dead warriors to fight again; an artifact that had been lost to faerie for hundreds of years, appeared in Merry's bed. And Merry herself gained a new ability - through sex and help from the Goddess (the main religious deity of the sidhe), she can bring power back to the sidhe, and to faerie. Then there's a very gruesome scene near the end that shows why most of the Unseelie fear Queen Andais; it's also an excellent growth opportunity for Merry.
But I think it's mainly the slow pacing of the book that didn't work for me. Normally I enjoy a lot of detail, but sometimes too much is just too much, and things need to move along a little faster. I think the majority of the novel covers a period of a day. If my day were that full I'd need a month to recover...but then again, Merry does live in a mostly fantastical world.
3/5.

“Wow!! This book started out a bit slow for me. Honestly, the first half kinda dragged and was a bit boring, except for the meeting with Kurag. I love that guy!! He's a great character!! Anywhos, while this book had some "hawt" moments, I got really, really tired of all the poetic description. It just seemed to go on and on and on in this book. However, by the time Merry and her "Merry Men" arrived to the Unseelie court....I was in for one wild ride!! There is such evil among them and that they are all quite capable of. And the plot to kill Merry just gets thicker and thicker. And by the end of this book, I found myself almost liking Aunt Andais. Almost. Or maybe I'm seeing some sort of method to her madness.”

“I accidently read the book that comes after this before I read this one. For that reason it seemed liked I was just filling in the details that I felt were skipped in the next book. This was a good one. Just like the rest. ”

“Start from the beginning and work your way through this incredible world of intrigue, excitement and lust. You will be hooked by the third chapter or Caress of Twilight.”

“This is one my favorites in the series because this is the one where she fights her Aunt (kick-ass but SUPER crazy evil Queen Andias) and some of the other court sidhe that think she's too mortal to rule. Good stuff...”
