Soul Harvest by B.R. KingsolverMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Cults, Demons and Poison.
This is the third and final book in a trilogy. You need to read the first two books to understand the storyline and characters.
Danica has been made Chief of the Arcane Division of the Baltimore Police Force. She’s snowed under with missing persons reports and a new demon lord’s in town after the last one melted. He’s rather insistent that Dani hand over a statue of his queen but Dani is reluctant to give over something he so desperately wants.
As well as dealing with missing persons and increased demon activity, Dani is having to deal with poisonings. There is so much going on she barely has time to eat let alone see her boyfriend or call her mother.
I loved the other two books in this series and I wanted to feel the same way about this book, but didn’t. It felt like so much was crammed into the plot there wasn’t much room for the characters and how they were feeling. I believe this book would have been better to have been split into two and adding more emotion and depth through conversations rather than the recitation of the story at full throttle, which is what the book ended up being.
In this book, I felt like a lot of Dani’s relationships were pushed to one side in order to get everything done, which is understandable given the state of the Eastern Seaboard during the course of this book. I did think it detracted from the series as a whole though.
There seemed to be more about Kirsten’s relationship than Dani’s, which seems odd. I kind of wish the author hadn’t put Dani into a romantic relationship if they weren’t going to actually show how she felt about the man.
However, all that aside the plot crackles along at a fast pace and the story is great. I just wish the ending was a little less predictable and twee.
