At Grave's End

Cat is definitely coming into her own now, and her relationship with Bones is portrayed far more healthily than most in the paranormal romance category. I love the fact that she demands that he permit her to stand as his equal, rather than treat her like a delicate thing to be protected.

The plot is more interesting than I recall in previous excursions, while building on the earlier books. I know there's another volume either planned or on the shelves, and I plan to read it. I wasn't so sure after the last book, but I'm glad I gave this one a chance.

I still contend that the cover art, no matter how lovely, shows a woman in a position that cannot be obtained by any human who wants to walk again. Cat is supposed to be half-vampire, but that hasn't been said to give her more flexibility—increased strength, speed, and healing power, yes, but not this sort of oddity. Yes, it's a minor nit to pick, but it has bugged me since the first time I saw the cover.

Do tre stelle non perché non mi sia piaciuto il contenuto, anzi, quello fortunatamente mi è piaciuto, ma per il modo in cui la trama e i personaggi vengono gestiti.
Gli eventi si snodano troppo velocemente senza fornire valide motivazioni e senza dare tempo al lettore di metabolizzare il tutto.
Inoltre, non vi è alcun (ulteriore, visto che è il terzo volume) approfondimento dei personaggi secondari già introdotti e quelli nuovi sembrano inconsistenti, nebulosi. Vanno e vengono.
Concludendo, il principale difetto di questo volume è che mancano i “perché”, le spiegazioni. Possibilmente consistenti/valide, grazie.
Proseguirò comunque la serie e spero che questa sia solo una svista.

The drama in this one was a bit too much for me. I didn't really get what Patra's motivation was, it was confusing and I ultimately didn't care THAT much. I feel like Patra could've been a much cooler story given her back story and she sounds like the wronged one in her backstory so I also kinda felt bad for her and couldn't get behind the war.
