4.0 out of 5 stars Good, but not perfect., October 20, 1999

This review is from: Scenting Hallowed Blood (The Grigori Trilogy #2) (Marketplace Series) (Paperback)

I felt a bit let down reading this after _Stalking Tender Prey_, a book which left me with such high expectations. Constantine's talent for textured prose, distinctive characters, and gleefully ambiguous morality (and sexuality) are still evident, yet (to me) the neo-paganish mysticism introduced becomes overbearing to the point of distraction at times. Still, it was an entertaining read, and I plan on buying the third, final novel.

5.0 out of 5 stars Like being on Neptune whit Aeschylus, September 22, 2001

This review is from: Scenting Hallowed Blood (The Grigori Trilogy #2) (Marketplace Series) (Paperback)

This book is wonderful. Mixing ancient mythology whit modern Angst, creating an eerie feeling, when you realize that this uncanny fantasy might really say something on the real history of this world (like I felt whit the Wraeththu series). Shem is the disillusioned idealist, a Prometheus that,once freed,feels betrayed by his own people and by humanity,that he feels has abandoned him. Shemyaza and the Titan (a giant,a god,a...Nephilim?)Prometheus:both givers of forbidden knowledge to humans. Read Aeschilus' Prometheus Enchained, then you will notice some similarity whit Shemyaza's story.

5.0 out of 5 stars Pagan's Rejoice!, July 24, 2002

By 

"uulemnts" (Minnesota, USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Scenting Hallowed Blood (The Grigori Trilogy #2) (Marketplace Series) (Paperback)

This book practically drips with Pagan imagery. The mood and feel of the book is very much derived from where the book takes place, in Cornwall's desolate storm-lashed coast. The sea imagery is amazing, not as good as in Sea Dragon Heir, but that is only because of the locations being different. The landscape reflect the inner conflict of Shemyaza and is very appropriate because of this. This book reads faster that the first book or the trilogy and is even harder to put down because of the descriptive nature of Storm's Writing.
