Laurell K. Hamilton's "Micah" (tons of spoilers under cut)

Feb 25, 2006 00:17

I found "Micah" tonight at B&N. All horrible work week stuff vanished under the squee of new AB material. Read it in like 2 hours. 245 pages - but a short 245. Blank pages between chapters and more white space per page ( Read more... )

I wonder what the something else is. It's killing me to know. I am thinking that we will find out in DM.

I am glad that you loved it.

I hope we find out in DM. That's kinda cool that she's a carrier like that. So could she infect someone?

Let's see... wererat, hyenas from NiC, jaguars from OB, Gil the WereFox, bears ....

Think she got the leopard from Gregory in NiC? Wonder where/when she got the wolf lycanthropy. But then wolf lycanthropy is supposed to be easier to catch than kitty cat lycanthropy.

I think, in some way, Anita is very susceptible (?) to lycanthropy. It's not the word I'm looking for, but hey, I just started on my first cup of coffee! *g* Her power seems to welcome it, in some way, but also protects her from actually becoming one. Almost akin to a vampire developing the ability to 'call' animals.

I think the fourth, unidentified, lycanthropy might be the MOAD's shifters from CS. Someone else pointed out when I mentioned that, that she was sprayed with their blood in CS. Haven't looked that up to verify.

Cool. Another cat. That would link up nicely to the fact that she calls cats. Do you think she will be able to call all the animals she's a carrier for?

Told you it was good! And yeah, the tables are going to have to be updated! Micah's age and family, Fox, Franklin being moved to the sensitive table...that was an interesting plot twist, wasn't it? Him having psychic abilities that he's squelched and hidden? No wonder he'd reacted badly to her, especially if his power was similar to hers. Kind of like the cop in the one book who hated shifters because they made his skin crawl, because he had psychic ability and was picking up on their power ( ... )

But wasn't the imagery in that whole section gorgeous to read? Anita walking through, taking power from the dead, caressing the tombstones like flowers...can you say zombie army?

And the whole bit where she was feeding off their power and they were feeding off of hers. We're gonna have a zombie army in a future book. It's coming. *g*

celeste_506 February 25 2006, 20:01:04 UTC

Ah, but will she be able to control it? *g*

mlady_rebecca February 25 2006, 20:46:41 UTC

Right off? Of course not. *g*
