ciara - yeah, Grant is already romantically involved with Maxine when The Iron Hunt starts. I find it surprising that she did that. The build-up was so rushed and contrived. I am so looking forward toCry Wolf by Patricia Briggs. The prequel only "whetted" our appetite for what is to come with Anna and Charles (which I cannot wait to read!)

authors, no apostrophe.

I am really enjoying The Iron Hunt, I just would probably enjoy it more if I had read a prequel.

Wish I had read your warning before I dived into The Iron Hunt. I’m half way through and though I like the premise, I’m still a bit confused by the players. Took me a while to figure out who Grant was. I thought he was an old man at first because he walked with a cane. Oye. Maybe the author’s should put out warnings in their press releases for books like this?

I was hoping I could read The Iron Hunt without reading this anthology but I guess not.. anyway, I really liked your review.

Hey Trisha, I wasn’t overly impressed with Hunter Kiss but the world intrigues so I will read it and see. This is my first foray into Ms. Liu’s work so I know that I probably am not reading some of her best work here if the novella is anything to go by.

Brie and Nath — curious to know what your thoughts are on this new series by Liu.

I’ve been reading reviews for The Iron Hunt and people do seem confused, I think that this stems from not reading the short story in the anthology. I haven’t read either one but I’m intrigued enough to at least read the introductory story to The Iron Hunt in the bookstore ( I just don’t buy anthology’s) and then purchase TIH.

Thanks for the review, Keishon.

Yeah, when I read this last year, I was disappointed. I LOVE "A Dream of Stone & Shadow" from Dark Dreamers (worth the $7.99 cover price alone, IMO), but "Hunter Kiss"... Eh, not so much. Didn't make me sit up and say, "Oh, I've got to read this series when the full-length novels come out," that's for sure. Whereas if "A Dream of Stone & Shadow" was my introduction to the Dirk & Steel books, I would have been immediately hooked.
