Bloodborn An Other Novel Karen Kincy Books Reviews

Bloodborn is a very different perspective and book from Other, though the character did first appear in Other. What's great about this book is watching a character raised to think bigot thoughts, and then he becomes what he hated and how he deals and accepts that. While Other's prejudices felt more akin to racism, the "bloodborn" ness of Werewolves felt closer to AIDS in the way Brock was treated, the way he was given medicine to fight it. He also insanely believes in the beginning that he might beat it and stay human.

Of course when he ends up with the pack in the area he learns so very quickly how wrong he is about Others and Werewolves and how wrong he is about himself. The character of Cyn is very important to helping him realize this and honestly without that character there I'm not sure if he would have made it.

What's strange about this book is that even though it was urban fantasy, because in this world Others like Werewolves are just normal known things, it almost felt more like contemporary fiction about a guy learning to see things differently. It's the same charm to the writing that made me enjoy the first book.

The book is short and there aren't any true revealing spoilers so there's not much more to say other than recommendations.

I recommend this book to people who enjoy reading werewolf or vampire stories, but especially to people who want to see those stories in a world where these things are well known and sorta accepted. It's also a good book if you want to read about someone overcoming their prejudices. You don't have to read Other at all to read Bloodborn, though I recommend that book just because I enjoyed that one as well.
Like Other, Bloodborn has a fascinating paranormal mythology, only this story focuses more on the werewolves. For Brock, being a wolf is far from natural. In fact, it's one of the things he despises the most, and it seems as though fate plays a cruel trick on him when he and his brother go out to hunt the werewolves and in turn get bitten by one. Now his brother is fighting for his life and Brock is fighting to remain human.

Bloodborn's werewolf mythology is unique in the fact that not all the wolves are born that way, and the ones, like Brock who get bitten, aren't only shunned from society they don't always survive their first turning. Though I never felt like I connected with Brock, I was able to sympathize with his character and how he was feeling. I understood why he was constantly battling with himself, hating the fact he's turning into some he can't stand. He despises his inner wolf and the pack he ends up running with. It took one bite to change everything for him and now he's left with nothing, but a losing battle of turning into a wolf.

Despite being a huge paranormal fan, I had a hard time connecting with this story. I'm not sure exactly why that was, but over all I couldn't get into it as much as I wanted to. The storyline is good, and like Other, Karen has created a world that consists of human, werewolves, vampires and Others who are live together. I should said tolerate each other, because for the most part each paranormal group sticks to their own kind. I like that Karen included werewolf stereotypes in this book, because the werewolves get such a bad rap in this series. They're deemed infectious and like outlaws. I liked seeing how the pack interacted, but over the characters weren't ones I felt like I could connect with, and that made it hard for me to enjoy the book as much as wanted to.

Bloodburn is a book that fans of werewolves and YA paranormal books may enjoy, and I liked that you don't need to read Other to follow this storyline. Brock had a very minor role in the first book, and Bloodborn is a book that focuses solely on his story. Bloodborn's a good sequel to Other, but unfortunately for me this is a book that just didn't connect with me. I'm looking forward to seeing which character gets their own story next and I'm hoping it's Tavian. He's my favorite character from the series so far. There is language and uses of the f-word through out the book and some underage drinking. This is a book I'd recommend to older teen readers and fans of YA paranormal books.
BLOODBORN takes a different approach to a werewolf novel. In this world Others are out and not particularly rare. They are protected by law but still face major prejudice. Brock has been raised to hate all the "gicks" and, while hunting and harassing them, he and his brother are bitten. His brother is in the hospital fighting for his life but Brock is home fighting to keep from becoming something that he hates more than anything else.

When he and his ex-girlfriend are kidnapped by the pack, Brock is still determined to get revenge on the werewolf who bit him. Randall is the werewolf who bit him and he has been assigned to bring Brock up to speed about his new reality. Meanwhile, the whole pack is on the run from the local sheriff who has decided that the only good werewolf is a dead werewolf despite what the law says.

It takes Brock quite a bit of time to get used to the idea that he is a werewolf and learn that werewolves are still people. His ex helps him come to that realization. Cyn is an interesting character who remains a bit of a mystery. She's human. She loves being right and being the smartest person in any situation. She is much more tolerant of Others than Brock. She recognizes that he hates himself and tries to help him learn to accept himself.

Fans of werewolf stories will enjoy this one.
