Books of May 2011

Dead Reckoning by Charlaine Harris - After 11 books, they are becoming repetitive. In this one, like the several before, two or more people want to kill Sookie for some reason or another. She knows it early on and kills out of necessity, either by fighting for her life or as a preemptive strike. There is an ever-growing collection of characters- far too many for my liking- and scenes with a bunch of minor ones are confusing because I don't remember who is who. But the writing is still just as good as it's always been so, while it's not the best, it's still enjoyable. 3.5 out of 5

The Unbearable Lightness of Dragons by Katie MacAlister - This is the 2nd Light Dragons books and the 9th in the total dragons series. Katie MacAlister's style is the same as always... the only problem is that all her main characters are so similar. It's not usually a problem in the Dark Ones books because they don't overlap much, but in this book Aisling, May and Ysolde are all in it through the whole book and they are all very much alike. So, if you like Katie MacAlister and don't mind that the characters are all very alike, you'd like this one. If the idea of the characters being the same is annoying, this one will definitely be annoying. 3.5 out of 5
