kathydavie's review against another edition
3.0
Seventh in the Otherworld / Sisters of the Moon urban fantasy romance series revolving, literally, amongst three sisters and the family they have accumulated in Seattle. The perspective this time is with Camille.
My Take
Mmmm, I like the idea of the d'Artigo sisters' old Victorian being a real home and not just a temporary place where they wait out their exile. They've certainly picked up a number of housemates from Maggie to Iris, the girls' various lovers, a few demons, and a cousin.
Delilah has this problem where the least bit of fright or overwhelming curiosity overcomes her and she automatically shifts into puddy-tat mode. She also leaves her human brain behind. Sometimes it's cute; most of the time it's just irritating.
It's a lot of personal growth for Camille in this one while we learn more about the history of different races in Otherworld. Including who dear old dad is romancing!
Although I don't understand why Camille is whining on about it. She's been training for years in her craft. Surely she understands that this is necessary. Even I can see that it has to be done as part of the cycle. Yeah, I get that it's hard, but, gimme a break, Galenorn, this whining just ain't believable!
Then there's the touching, romantic scene at the end with Camille and her three lovers. I still can't figure out how the mechanics of that one works...
The Story
The dead are rising all over town. Partly due to Harold Young and his boy gang's murderous torturing, partly due to the lamia
Then there's Smoky's little problem. Seems he has a very angry fiancée and daddy dearest is here to force the issue. With Smoky forced off to the Northlands, it leaves only Morio and Iris to accompany Camille to Otherworld to meet Trillian and bring him home.
Part of that trip is a visit with her father which leads to a command invitation to Darkynwyrd forest which is ruled by the Raven Mother, an Elemental Lord, and a command sacrifice.
That requirement however pales next to what Camille learns the kings and queens of Otherworld along with the Kerraastar Knights intend to do.
The Characters
There are three d'Artigo sisters who have emigrated to our world and they are at the forefront of protecting Earthside from a powerful demon lord.
A Moon Witch, Camille has been practicing death magic with one of her husbands (I suspect part of the reason is to help her get the rest of her magical talents under control), Morio Kuroyama, a youkai-kitsune demon and Rodney, the bone-man golem given to Morio by Grandmother Coyote, is not impressed. He is pretty funny in a gross way. Her other husband is a very possessive silver-white dragon, Smoky, a.k.a., Iampaatar, from the Emperor caste of dragons. Trillian is a third lover, Svartan, and still lost in Otherworld. Camille owns the Indigo Crescent bookstore, but has been leaving the running of it up to Henry Jeffries, a retiree who will do anything to escape his mother.
Delilah is a werekitty/panther/Death Maiden and Chase Johnson, chief of detectives, is one of her boyfriends; Zachary Lyonnesse, a werepuma, is the other.
Menolly is the third and a vampire who runs the Wayfarer Bar & Grill. Nerissa Shale, a werepuma belong to the the Rainier Puma Pride is her female lover. Nerissa is also running for city council as a bisexual Were. Roz has been in Mennolly's bed as well.
Shamas ob Olanda is the girls' full-blooded fae cousin and he has been working for the Earthside police. Sephreh ob Tanu is their father and an adviser to the queen. Aunt Rythwar has helped their father put the house back together after its ransacking. Leethe and Kayla are part of the household staff and Camille is happy to learn they have survived.
Rozurial, an incubus, and Vanzir, a turncoat demon, both live with Shamas in the new studio in back. Iris Kuusi is a Talon-haltija (Finnish house sprite) and a Priestess of Undutar who keeps house and cares for Maggie, their baby calico gargoyle. Vikkommin, a snow sprite, was Iris' fiancé until he was murdered. She is cursed to not bear a child to term until he is avenged. Bruce O'Shea, the leprechaun, has asked her to marry him, but he wants children.
Lethe and Finias are two Otherworld Fae assigned to help out the Faerie Human Crime Scene Investigation team. Queen Asteria is the Elfin Queen the girls delivered the seals to when they could acquire them. Trenyth is her personal assistant. Now she and Tanaquar, the new queen of Y'Elestrial are trying to repair the damages from the war. Grandmother Coyote is one of the Hags of Fate and Morio's grandmother. Feddrah-Dahns is the crown prince of the Dahns Unicorns and his father, King Upala-Dahns, wants to talk to Camille. The Black Unicorn is the father of the Dahns Unicorns and Raven Mother is his lover. The nine Kerraastar Knights, a.k.a., the Knights of the Portals, are humans with the proper energy signature who have touched the heart of the seals: Venus the Moon Child of the Rainier Puma Pride and Tam Lin are two of them. They must all be trained as guardians in Otherworld.
Morgaine is the Queen of Shadow and Dusk and is threatening the girls to forsake Otherworld and join her court. Aeval is the Queen of the Unseelie Court while Tatiana has taken back the Seelie.
Wilbur is a new neighbor and a powerful necromancer. Andy Gambit is a yellow journalist for the Seattle Tattler and has been promoting the Freedom's Angels candidate, Taggart Jones, for city council. Carter is a demon researcher who recently purchased Harold Young's house. Derisa is the High Priestess and emissary of the Moon Mother.
Stacia, a.k.a., the Bonecrusher, is a lamia and a necromancer. She's also the latest in Shadow Wing's generals sent to crush the girls. Shadow Wing is a demon lord determined to acquire the seals that will unlock the gate between Hell and Earthside. Once he has Earthside, it's an easier path to Otherworld. Telazhar is an extremely powerful Fae necromancer and he has trained Stacia. Trytian is the son of a powerful daemon ordered to seek an alliance with the girls.
Hotlips is Smoky's hot gold dragon fiancée with fewer manners than a pig. Then there's his father, Hyto, a white dragon, who is, if possible, even ruder and more vicious.
The Cover
The cover is red from the pink-tinged full moon radiating out a star-shape of crackling lightning onto a textured stone wall of reds forming a background for Camille from her red-tinged sable hair to the red vinyl bustier she's wearing, glancing back at us over her shoulder.
I suspect the title was one of those "oh, what the hell" moves. Sure there are bones in this: Young's leavings, the disgusting Rodney, and, at a stretch, the Black Unicorn. But none of them, in my opinion, are strong enough to carry the Bone Magic.
My Take

A lot happened in this book. Camile has so much to do in the future. The best thing is Trillian is back with her and her other 2 husbands, Smokey and Morio. The Bonecrusher, the Moon Mother, the Triple Threat, the Queens, and The Black Unicorn are all wanting something from her. It's going to be tough.

Hexenzorn ist der 7. Teil der Schwestern des Mondes Reihe, der wieder aus Camilles Sicht geschrieben ist.
In diesem Band geht es hauptsächlich um Camille und ihre Entwicklung - der Kampf gegen Schattenschwinge ist eher zweitrangig. Wie in den vorherigen Bänden passieren auch hier viele Dinge nebeneinander, jedoch fühlte ich trotzdem teilweise ein Gefühl der Leere. Als ich Hexenzorn fertig gelesen hatte, war ich etwas enttäuscht, denn besonders viel passiert darin nicht.
Während Camille mit Morio an ihrer Todesmagie üben, und der ganze Haushalt nach Hinweisen für Stacia, die Knochenbrecherin - Schattenschwinges momentane Heerführerin - sucht, tauchen in Seattle eine Goshanti (Teufelin) und Zombies auf, die bekämpft werden müssen. Smoky hat Ärger mit seiner Familie, so dass er Camille für kurze Zeit verlassen muss. Als wäre das nicht genug, wird Camille in der Anderwelt eine wichtige Aufgabe zugeteilt, die ihr Leben verändern wird.
Der Aufenthalt in der Anderwelt ist recht lang, so begegnet Camille nicht nur ihren Vater wieder, sondern auch Trillian, Feddrah-Dahns und Mistelzweig. Auch Iris muss über ihren Schatten springen und sich ihrer Vergangenheit stellen. Insgesamt ist die Zeit in der Anderwelt sehr aufregend und interessant, erfährt man doch allerhand Neues.
Zurück in der Erdwelt konzentrieren sich unsere Halbfeen und Dämonen auf Stacia, jedoch kommen sie, was Schattenschwinge betrifft, nicht wirklich weiter. Mir gefiel besonders die unvorhersehbare Wendung, was das betrifft. Auch macht das Geschehen um Delilah und Chase Hunger auf den nächsten Band.
Alles in allem hat mir in diesem Teil das Gemetzel und die Spannung gefehlt - es passiert für meinen Geschmack zu wenig. Allerdings gibt es teilweise sehr spannende und emotionale Szenen, die Erotik kommt natürlich nicht zu kurz und das Ende macht alles recht harmonisch.

Wisst ihr was? Ich liebe diese Reihe, ich liebe diese Autorin und ich liebe jedes einzelne Buch der Schwestern. Natürlich könnt ihr jetzt sagen "Ich dachte, du magst keine Liebesgeschichten, aber was liest denn du da, ne?!" und hier kommt nun meine Antwort:
In den Bänden stehen die Beziehungen nicht im Vordergrund, sondern der Fantasy-Teil. Die Mädels müssen ihre Aufgabe meistern und gegen Fieslinge kämpfen, dabei ergänzen sich alle teile der Geschichte hervorragend. Die Figuren wachsen in jedem Band weiter, man erfährt Neues und tritt niemals auf der Stelle.
Und die Beziehungen, die hier gepflegt werden, sind keine Teenager-Romanzen. Mit 16 dachte ich, mein damaliger Freund, sei der Einzige für mich, mit 17 dasselbe über den aktuellen usw. Deshalb habe ich mich von YA verabschiedet. Galernorn geht auf eine ganz andere Art und Weise mit dem Thema Liebe um.
Nehmen wir nun Camille, die älteste der Schwestern und Hauptfigur von Band 7: Sie hat nicht bloss einen Ehemann, sondern drei. Und muss nun zusehen, dass sich die alle vertragen. Klingt lustig, aber man bekommt als Leser mit, wie viel Arbeit die Figuren in ihre Beziehungen stecken. Hier geht es nicht um eine kurze Verliebtheit, sondern um jahrelange Gefährten. Eine Beziehung haben ist schön, aber keineswegs einfach, man muss daran arbeiten, an sich selbst, über seinen Schatten springen und auch mal etwas opfern. Genau das gefällt mir hier so.
Ansonsten bietet dieser Band die gewohnte Menge an Action, gefühl und Spass. "Hexenzorn" ist seit langem das erste Buch, das mich richtig mitgerissen hat. bei dem ich es nicht erwarten konnte, weiterzulesen. Ein Buch, das ich nicht mehr weglegen konnte und das mich daran erinnert hat, weshalb lesen toll ist. Dass die Bücher der "Schwestern des Mondes"-Reihe etwas besonderes sind, zeigt auch auf, dass das eigentlich die einzigen Bücher waren, die ich während meines extremen Tiefs gelesen habe. Nur schon dafür hat sich Yasmine Galenorn meine Treue verdient.
Auf weitere sieben tolle Bände mit meinen Lieblingsschwestern!

It took me a while to finish this book, but that's only because I read about six other books while I was reading it. For some reason it couldn't hold my attention and so I'm only giving it three stars. I like the world and the characters that Yasmine Galenorn created and this book was an integral part in the story.

My expectations for this series have never been high. All I really expect is a fun, wacktastic, OTT adventure with the D'Artigo sisters and their menagerie. With this book, though, I realize that the fun is over (for me, anyway). It's not that the sexual parts are more graphically detailed than in other books, that's easy enough to skip over if you want to. And it's not that it's a one-note series, that can actually be a benefit for work-week reading since you know you're not going to be tempted to stay up all night finishing it. I think what's really pushed this into do-not-enjoy territory is how often the sisters use self-serving excuses to rationalize away behavior that breaks their own moral codes. (Hello, this is how war criminals are made.) Between that and the going-nowhere plot, I think I'm done with this series.

What would you do if you found yourself on the frontline of a war between demons and the fae? Well, that’s the question the D’Artigo sisters and their friends have to answer in Yasmine Galenorn’s Sisters of the Otherworld series. ~Series spoilers ahead~ These three sisters come from a mixed heritage, half-faerie and half-human. They don’t get much respect at home in Otherworld because their magic erratically backfires. Camille, the eldest and leader of the group, has pledged herself to the Moon Goddess and recently started practicing death magic. Delilah may be the middle child, but her innocence, naivete, and maturity frequently have me thinking she’s the youngest; she’s a werecat who shifts into a tabby cat and a black panther. She has been chosen to be the only living Death Maiden by the Harvest Lord and recently learned she had a twin who died at birth. Menolly is the youngest but had to mature quickly when she was tortured, raped, turned vampire, and unleased on her unsuspecting family. And where would the team be without emotional support? The fae are well-known for their sexual appeal and appetite, so each sister has at least one suitor thoughtout the series. Menolly had to overcome her heavy emotional burden before she could let anyone close enough; however, she found Nerissa, a were-puma, and Rozurial (Roz), an incubus. Delilah has an off-and-on relationship with Chase, a full-blooded human (FBH) and Zachary, a were-puma. Camille is married—by magic soul ritual—to three men: Trillian the Svarthan, Smoky the dragon, and Morio the youkai-kitsune. Other important allies include demons Roz and Vanzir and Finnish house sprite Iris.
The series has made its way through seven books with book eight due later this month. Galenorn exercises her writing genius by alternating narrator by book. Each of the three sisters takes a turn telling the story, which makes for some interesting revelations. In Bone Magic, Camille takes the stage because as leader she finds most of the important information following the war against Shadow Wing, the demon lord who wants to obliterate our world (and all the other ones)! Earthside, faeries have worn out their warm reception by humans, which only complicates the work the D’Artigo sisters have to finish. Overall, I am loving this series for its creative explorations and the wonderful storyline.

I found this book was quite a bit darker than previous installments, and while I still love the characters and the world Galanorn has created, I found this book was missing much of the humour and lightness that has interspersed with the battle part in earlier books.
There wasn't much other than the battle the sisters are facing in this book. A few small moments of happiness, but the vast majority of this story was surrounding the escalating battle the sisters and their extended family [Trillian returns, and the girls' father also returns in this book] are engaged in to save the worlds - Earthside and Otherworld. I just found it very heavy and sad, and without giving spoilers, there were some really downer moments in this book that were tough.
I am going to read the next book in the hopes that there will be more than just battles and death - something positive to balance out the tough parts.
