All I can say about that character is that they’re incredibly dynamic and potentially a real game-changer for the Pack. But Patricia Briggs is in fine form with FIRE TOUCHED, juggling characters both old and new with the increasingly complex inter-species politics that makes up the foundation of the series.Ī new species or supernatural type is introduced in this volume: the titular fire touched human. Not a whole lot happened in that book generally, and even less occurred to drive the series’ plot arc forward. Mercy, Adam, and all their allies will need to work together if they want to stop a war…Īlthough I’ve enjoyed all the books in the Mercy Thompson series, I couldn’t help but feel that the last installment, NIGHT BROKEN, was something of a filler novel. The Grey Lords are tired of living as second-class citizens when they’re actually apex predators, and they’re finally ready to show the world just how powerful they can be. But the latest threat is one that Mercy alone cannot hope to beat alone: the Grey Lords, the elders of the fae community. Somehow Mercy always survives, even if it’s just by the skin of her teeth. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.Ĭoyote shifter Mercy Thompson has faced some truly formidable foes in the past, ranging from vampires to fae assassins and even a god….not to mention Adam’s horrible ex-wife Christy. Thanks to Ace for providing me with a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.
