It is a very Euro-centric world Turner has built, and Id be curious to see her take on some Asian cosmology given the vast Asian population in New York City. The absence of any ancient Eastern deities may be simply something the author is waiting on (surely Hindu gods would be interesting complications). This, I guess, would be because of the survival of the Nordic, Celtic, Greek and Roman religions (presumably because of magic) through the presence of their gods in human life. I realized with a start after finishing A Crown of Iron and Silver that none of the Abrahamic religions Judaism, Christianity, Islam seem to exist in this otherwise contemporary world. Turner has also taken this genre to some sort of logical extreme incorporating not only werecreatures (the result of a pandemic virus) and vampires, but magic, and virtually every sort of cosmological pantheon known to the west.
THE FOXHOLE COURT AUDIOBOOK FREE ONLINE SERIES
Hailey Turners Soulbound series hooked me from the start, because of the characters of Patrick Collins and Jonothon de Vere. It is fascinating to see all the variations that have burgeoned in the last decade, and to note the quality of the best of these. Ultimately, all of these must come from a combination of Tolkien, the grandfather of all this sort of fantasy, and the cultural impact of Harry Potter. I have to admit, Im getting a little lost in all the fae/human/magic/supernatural epics out there today. Review #2 A Crown of Iron & Silver (Soulbound #3) audiobook in series Soulbound Series I wasnt aware of how big the hole was that needed to be filled with a new and amazing UF series. But boy, that didnt keep me from reading this book as fast as I could meaning, in one sitting lol. I was missing the domestic side of their relationship a tiny bit. I would have loved more time with Patrick and Jono being a couple, and living together. Maybe even a touch too much action, if Im really critical here. And where Patrick goes Jono goes as well. Patrick, as always, gets dragged into one fascinating case after another. Its Jonos acceptance of all creatures that really brings this pack together. And Im in love with the diversity of their growing group. Their pack is growing slowly but steadily. Im a bit in love with both of them myself, since they remind me so much of Kate and Curran (in a sense not literally). Feelings have deepened, and its very satisfying to see them grow even closer with each book. It helps that theyve come to know each other so well and trust each others capabilities and decision making.
They have come to rely on each other in a deep and harmonic way. It delivered on the key points that I was most interested in, Patrick and Jonos relationship, their growing pack, and an action packed story. A Crown of Iron & Silver was as fantastic as hoped. Lucky me, there will be 7 books in the series – 4 more to come.
Finally, I found another one to fill the hole that Kate Daniels left behind. Im in LOVE!!!! Ever since reading Kate Daniels, the Foxhole Court, Captive Prince, or Red Rising Ive been clamoring for a new series to fall in love with.
