The religious aspect, which is not heavy, could have bothered me, the way it bothers me in all the dreck connected to vatican conspiracy theories and possibly even umberto eco, though i read him a long time ago. when there is blood there are vampires, but there are not vampires proper here, though there are people who want the blood of other people. The metaphor is the blood, which may or may not be the blood of christ. the way i see it, the way it talks to me, it's as a saga in which good and evil confront each other on the bodies and the minds of humans, pretty much like it happens in the real world, except, because this is literature and because it is the particular genre of these books, all taken up a vast number of notches through metaphor. it's a genre i don't read much at all - basically never, really - so i lack terms of comparison and, perhaps more importantly, the language to talk about it. I still believe that Due has a lot of writing ahead of her with some good storylines as she is an awesome storyteller.but hopefully plots that are fresh and leave these characters behind as I'm done with them and this series. dark, husband and wife coming together as one on one accord, soldiers/teams sparring against each other, music as a tool for peace, harmony and healing.even the one character who seemed to be the Prince of Death/the anti-Chrisit seemed hauntingly similar. In fact, one of the character's names was Carlos.sound familiar to anyone? The good vs. The more I read the more I realize I'm just not a series book reader.especially those that span almost 15 years (My Soul to Keep came out in 1997) just too much time lapsed between each book and with so many characters to keep up with I soon quickly lost interest in most of them since I couldn't remember what made them unique or distinctively previously.įor some reason, My Soul to Take reminded me too much of the Vampire Huntress series from LA Banks (may she RIP) and it was a big distraction for me. The third book.Blood Colony not so much and My Soul to Take.well I'm just happy I finished it. The first two books in the series (My Soul to Keep, The Living Blood) I pulled all nighters to read because they were just that compelling. This time it took me almost a week to read this book.
Finally.I'm done reading My Soul to Take.
