Book Reviews of To Hell and Back (Dante Valentine, Book 5)
Book Review: Frustrating
Summary: 3 Stars
I was dying to read this book. I anticipated some amazing work on part of the author to bring her protagonist back from the emotional, physical and mental hell she had left her in. I wanted to see resolution of the many, many loose ends from the last four books. I wanted to a character who, literally, dragged herself from the depths of hell into triumph.
What did I get? More of the same from book four. Dante is still completely effed up. Still has no idea why Japh is with her, what's going on, what's happened to her, who's her friend, who's her enemy, what any of it means. So I was left with a character that is nothing less than pathetic. I just felt sorry for Japh, stuck with what amounts to an incredibly damaged permanent appendage.
I read and enjoyed the first 4 books but this one left me very reluctant to give time or space to any of the author's other books. I read Steelflower and enjoyed it also. However, its two main characters had many similarities to Japh and Dante. The similarities were enough that I wonder if this kind of damaged character and relationship is Saintcrow's "writer's kink." The kind of issue that shows up in the majority of an author's work. I hope not because the first 4 books were lots of fun.
Summary of To Hell and Back (Dante Valentine, Book 5)
Dante Valentine has been through Hell. Literally. Her body shattered and her mind not far behind, she's dumped back into her own world to survive--or not--as a pawn in one of Lucifer's endless games.Unfortunately, he's just messed with the wrong Necromance. And this time she's mad enough to do something about it.
This time, the Devil will pay.
