Morrigan's Brood #4
Curse of Venus
Continuing the story arc of Morrigan's Brood: Dark Alliance comes the fourth installment of the Morrigan's Brood Series, Morrigan's Brood: Curse of Venus.
The Strigoi, the Cursed of Venus, have spread through the Holy Roman Empire and parts beyond like a plague. In response, Pope Leo III takes advantage of the scourge to settle an old score with the man he placed on the throne: Charlemagne. The pope leads the papal army into the heart of the empire and demands sovereignty over what he believes is an ecumenical matter.
Charlemagne disagrees, and soon papal and imperial forces stand face-to-face across the field of battle. Will their leaders’ bitter rivalry send the Empire further into chaos and destruction, or will their Deargh Du “angels” save them from themselves, and from Venus’ Cursed?
Continue the journey... the fourth in a series of stories revolving around the Deargh Du through the ages.

It took me a little while to get back into this world as there are many characters and story lines, it was hard at the start to remember them all.
About a quarter in though it was all go, reading until 1 am and thinking about the story at work - i must be a sucker for punishment.
I enjoyed learning a bit more about the characters we already knew and meeting some knew ones - i do wish (selfishly, as they are my favorites) that Marcus and Maire had developed as characters a bit more.
As much as i did enjoy the book, i wish there was more action and that the story progressed further.
After i finished this morning (very early) i couldn't drift off, just lay there thinking about what may happen next.
I can't wait for the next book - I have questions and i need some answer....
Will they get Ard Macha back?
Does Mandubratius have a devious plan or has he actually changed?
Where did Lucius come from and what's his deal?
And many more.
