[review] Storm Born by Richelle Mead



Storm Born is a good read. It had been a while since I read something that contained a variety of monsters, faeries, gentry or any category you can think of. To be honest, the only monster/magical being I knew was ‘kitsune’ a.k.a. Japanese fox. The rest were just something I don’t understand.

For action, I’m quite satisfied with the ability of the main character, Eugenie. To be able to handle a gun and then a wand, coupled with the ability to past through the other two worlds. Great abilities, I must say.

For romance, I like the attraction between Eugenie and her ‘boy’ Kiyo (oooh…) because they let nothing to stand between them. Just plain raw desire and also love =3
But for somehow, I hate how everything progress at the end. I absolutely hate the thought of a love triangle and I’ll be happy to ditch any stories with it inside. Sadly, I’m not able to foresee a triangle in it and here I am, feeling sorry for the ‘unpicked’ party. I like Dorian and it pained me to see him not able to be together with Eugenie and how he already lost the battle at the start…
I guess it’s not a triangle after all… *sulked*

Oh well, as much as I like the characters and all, I don’t agree with the plot that made all the male being trying to get Eugenie pregnant. Other than that, there is also the part where Eugenie had unprotected sex with both Kiyo and Dorian. I had my concern over her pregnancy and it bothered me so much….

I give this a 3 out of 5. Ciaossu~
