Elsa Bloodstone: Bequest: A Marvel Heroines Novel
by Cath Lauria
Part of the Marvel: Heroines series from Aconyte Books, Cath Lauria’s Elsa Bloodstone: Bequest is a madcap thrill-ride full of monster battles, jet-setting and bickering siblings. Elsa Bloodstone – badass monster hunter, daughter of the famed Ulysses Bloodstone, definitely not a team player – is quite content with her life spent travelling the world, slaying assorted horrors for money. When a simple monster hunt is interrupted by mercenaries wanting her bloodstone shard, however, it seems as though her life is about to get a bit more complicated, an impression only reinforced by the appearance of a previously unknown half-sister asking for help in recovering her own, recently-lost bloodstone. Begrudgingly, Elsa agrees to help Mihaela, and the two of them set out to track down whoever’s behind the bloodstone theft.
It’s fun to read about high-profile characters from the Marvel universe, but there’s something to be said for the slightly less well-known names like Elsa Bloodstone who – for someone like me who’s mostly familiar with Marvel from the movies rather than the comic books – can bring something a bit different to the table. To my mind, this is a great example of how much fun superheroes can be, but at the same time how important it is that their stories are grounded in character first and foremost. If you’re on the lookout for a pulpy action adventure with a Marvel character who deserves much more attention (and lots more stories after this), I can heartily recommend you give this a go.
