Review: Blood Queen
Rating: 2 out of 5

Well, I'm not even half way through with this book and I'm already horribly disappointed. The first 4 books in this series were really good. Then book 5 started getting a little strange and book 6 has gone completely off the deepend. New charactors with all kinds of convuluted relationships have been dumped in and the tangle is almost impossible to follow. I've gone back and re-read several sections just trying to figure out who all these new people are and where they fit, but I'm still confused.I've read several reviews on this series that talk about Lissa's emotional strength and how she handles all the things that have happened to and around her. Sometimes I see it, but other times she's just sitting on a roof whining that no one understands her. Some places in the book I feel her pain, others I just want to slap her and tell her to get over the pity party and move on! The "nobody loves me, everybody hates me, guess I'll go eat worms" attitude is wearing.As with the Anita Blake books, the multiple "love of my life" relationships that are adding up are beginning to get beyond belief even for a fantasy series. However, I am thankful that the story did not disentigrate into simply discriptions of sex scenes like the Anita books have and I like the way any romantic scenes were mostly left to the imagination.I may edit this review when I finish the book, but if there is another one coming I probably won't bother buying it. Even for $2.99.
