It’s a bit in-your-face with its morality, but it‘s a nice change of pace. I like it. Mellow.

Goodness gracious me, this is about as interesting as watching paint dry.

Finished chapter 5. Boring so far. The James Bond similarities are cute, otherwise meh.

The Harkonnen flagship looks like the Millennium Falcon! Not cool!

I like how the fight scenes are drawn!

This makes no sense to me: the grace period for the house runs out the following day, but Nevada and Rogan go on a holiday on another continent.

”I couldn’t even. My ability to even was severely compromised.”

Re-reading…

A self assured woman who hunts and protects turns into a wifey that hangs curtains. 🙄

Niiiiice double page of the worm coming for the crawler…

Part 2 — House of Dreams

I did not think I would make it this far…

Ok, the story is starting to grow in me a little. It just took so long to get here!

Here we go with the graphic sex… 🙄

I trust Zephyrus only as far as I can see him. I get very shady vibes from him.

A story of Augustine Montgomery in a little over 120 pages. From her on out it‘s extras…

Oh, interesting. Has Augustine every shifted into a woman before?

Ok, I think I know as much of the history of the Mayfair witches as I care to. Can we pleeeeease return to the present? *sigh*

Seriously, too much family history. No, we don’t want or need to know this much detail.

TMI! Argh!

I am kinda done with the ice zombies. Can we be done with this book now?

Chapter 3, The Underworld Zoo—Bacteria are the Rulers of the World! And let’s not forget the nematodes, protozoa and arthropods, e.g. springtails, woodlice, and centipedes, also beetle larvae, land snails, slugs and bacteriophages. Less than 4% of life underground are mammals. For example moles, prairie dogs, gophers and almost 250 other types of mammals… 59% of all biological species live underground. Busy place!

I am reasonably sure that I read this book in the 90s.

As I have read Blood & Gold and Blood Canticle would be next in the Vampire Chronicles, it was time to refresh my memory of the Mayfair Witches.

I didn‘t expect to have this much fun! I though it would be a horrible drag I had to slog through on my way back to Lestat. Colour me surprised!

Made it to Part 2. Better than the first book so far.

A sentence of foreboding at the end of a chapter: I hate when authors do that. It’s such a boring way of trying to create suspense. It makes me roll my eyes every time.

Chemical communication between bacteria, fungi and root systems of various plants—how cool is that?
Plants calling nematodes for help, when certain bugs attack their roots, pretty nifty bodyguard-effect.

“Say you’ve got people getting tired of the war. Then you get a bunch of goblins showing up and wiping out a whole human village. Do you think those people are still going to be tired of it?”
Nessilka scowled. “That’s politics, Murray.”
“Well, yeah. Lotta people die of politics.”

She should never have let him name the supply goat. Once you started naming goats, it was all downhill from there.

“Perhaps we could go in disguise?” asked Gloober hopefully.
“We’re four feet tall and green. I think they’re going to notice.”
