![]() I had high expectations for Venom, so that's why I was a bit surprised to end up having mixed feelings instead. Maybe it's time I listened.”Īfter loving the first book earlier recently, I couldn't resist picking up the sequel while memories of this high fantasy world were still fresh. “The magic in my blood calls for others' blood to be spilled. So, Vulture has to be read pretty much immediately because of that ending and I can't wait to finish this journey. The way the animals were written and Marianne's connection with them, really had me glued. I loved the animals, the snow mares and the vulture in particular. There were new and old characters in this intallment and I liked most of them. ![]() Bronn was less prevalent in this story but he's there lurking. Marianne spent this story following her destiny that was unclear at best, I rolled with the journey and it was a good one. ![]() All that said, there is self-reflection, realisation and humility. Marianne is an immature protagonist (she has every right to be, she's 17) but at times she did fustrate me. Occasionally, I wanted to draw breath a bit but the story doesn't relent and pulls you along easily. Everything about Venom was reminiscent of Viper, in that it was fast-paced, a packed plot but it was fresh, the story went all sorts of ways. Well, I need to pick up my jaw still from that ending which is clever, amazing and thank goodness I have book three ready to pick up. ![]()
