I love this Fairy series of stories about Princess Merry Gentry. Unfortunately, I think that Laurell Hamilton was distracted when she wrote this one. Whereas she usually builds tension, and one entire book takes a day, this story, at least for me was a struggle, she didn't really advance/develope any character, unless you negatively count the sea king, and it was often boring, as though the author was distracted. This is the first book where she kind of implies her world is like ours, in a recession and at war.
Unless you read the previous 7 stories, I doubt you will understand or like Divine Misdemeanors, but they are keepers for me, and I am out of space on the bookshelf. I hope that next time Ms. Hamilton will just get on with it and let Merry have her babies, then maybe she will be more interested in what happens next. I know I am always looking forward to her next book, and waiting almost a year to find out what happens to Merry is always difficult.
