![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Protagonist Chrysabelle is a commare, a race bred essentially as vampire food, and who must regularly give blood to their assigned patrons. Thats not to say that theres anything here thats especially complex, but rather that there are so many point of view characters (and all with convoluted angst-ridden pasts that come into play) that it takes some time to determine whos wronging whom and why. I should note that Flesh and Blood'is the second in the series, and given that I took a good few hundred pages to acclimatise myself to the narrative and setting, I wouldnt recommend reading these out of order. Still, Painters name is one thats known to me, so I thought Id dip into this series to see whether my anti UF stance could be turned on its head. We all know by now that I have a somewhat ambivalent relationship with urban fantasy novels: I find their wannabe-gothiness and incessant woe-is-me-isms quite trying, and I just find it hard to buy all that grittiness. ![]()
