Realities

Rhapsody of Blood #4

by Roz Kaveney

From the deep dark forests of primordial Europe to the deserts of Africa... From the gardens of what was once Hell and is now something new and different to the sinister silent halls of a rebuilt Valhalla... From the gloomy London of the late Victorian London to a very different London of bright lights, coffee shops and cocktail parties...

Mara the Huntress and a newly apotheosized Emma pursue the mysterious enemy who devised and teaches the Rituals of Blood, and the people he has corrupted - the Huntsman god, some annoying hipsters and the man they called the Ripper. With new friends like H.G. Wells and Mary, the mother of Josette, and old acquaintances like Polly Wilde, Elodie and the restored and resurrected Sof, they frustrate some of the enemy's schemes but still have no sense of his end game.

This fourth volume of the much admired Rhapsody of Blood sequence is as grim and occasionally hilarious as its predecessors.

[Claire · Rating 4 out of 5]

Still not the final instalment, we are leisurely sauntering towards Armageddon. An enjoyable read but doesn't really advance the plot.
