Soul Taken by Patricia Briggs

Soul Taken (Mercy Thompson, #13)

A Spoiler Filled Review

So… I wasn’t so fond of Soul Taken. I feel like there was a lot of… not exactly misdirects, but a lot of dancing around the actual plot to do a whole lotta nothing.

Hooooly Shiiieeeet. Sherwood’s a Cornick. If I had to guess, probably Bran’s brother… probably. Confirmed later on in the book. Go me. But also… big concern all of a sudden that turns out to not be a concern at all so… yay, I guess. Honestly felt somewhat tacked on even though it happened right before Marsilia appeared with her cryptic message.

Maybe I’m just done with overly complicated vampire politic plot lines. Not sure. This was definitely one of those with a fae artifact twist.

Actually, thinking on it, I was just really confused for most of the plot and then everyone was like: Bonarata’s behind this! Still not entirely sure why, but they were right so… yeah. Soul Taken. Not my fave by a long shot.
