Allison Hurd's Reviews > Discount Armageddon

A really fun urban fantasy. It's showing its age a bit, both in terms of the changes I've seen in Seanan's writing over the years and the extreme attempts at being sexy to presumably het dudes, but still clever and fun.

Perhaps it's because I crammed this into my brain in very short order, but I'm having a hard time thinking of concrete pros and cons. This is fluff. Monsters, T&A, enemies-to-lovers, the whole bit. Nothing stands out as a decidedly *bad* element--it is what it is and it does it well.

No, okay, I do have one!!

I loved the different kinds of monsters and that they're not necessarily bad just because they're not human.

I did not love the focus on dancing. That seemed really out of place for this story.

So, there you go. If you want a perfectly solid example of what UF was a decade ago, pick this up!
