Generation V ML Brennan Books

This is the first book that I fit by this author. I'm a big fan of the urban fantasy genre when it is more Dresden Files, Alex Verus, or Charming of Pax Arcana. The common theme among these books is the hero fighting against much stronger opponent. I feel the back story for the main character, Fort, was sufficient to explain his fear of confrontation and the other personality flaws. The motivation for Fort was quite clear and easy to get behind. I found is friend Suzume very interesting and I also liked his brother, Chivalry.

Some of the self published newcomers in this genre are poorly edited, littered with plot holes and just bad. This book is NOT one of those. This book had a very good flow, the decisions of the characters meet sense, and the book was quite enjoyable.

However you may notice that I've only given four for this review. Here's why.
1. What's this book does not have that the previously mentioned books have are decent action sequences. Generally in the urban fantasy genre the hero does a lot of physical battling well moving through the story. This book has only one true action scene.
2. The other things the many books of the genre have is a lot of dry whit and humor. This book doesn't really have that.

Overall I find this one is the better books that I have recently read in the urban fantasy genre. I do highly recommended and think that the storyline has a lot of potential. I have already purchased the next book in the series.

Generation V ML Brennan Books Reviews

I met M.L. Brennan at New York Comic Con last year and occasionally interact with her on twitter. I am delighted to say that GENERATION V is as feisty and charming as its author.

Vampires. Probably one of the most overused monsters in literature. Everything's been done, right? Brennan disproves this by adding new and interesting facets to vampire lore. Apparently, there is more to vampires than sparkles, Twilight and Brad Pitt.

Fortitude Scott is an underachieving, self-pitying vampire-to-be doormat with a wardrobe to match. His life is a litany of the sad and pathetic-- crappy job with a shitty boss, cheating girlfriend, freeloading, oversexed slob of a roommate, junkyard-quality car. He was born human but will inevitably transition to full vampirehood. Yet Fort stubbornly wishes to delay the inevitable. Why? He was raised by humans and shares little in common with his aristocratic, sophisticated, amoral blood relatives, pun intended.

Fort's family is Dysfunctional-- yes, with a capital D. Their relationship with one another is tenuous at best, polite and propelled by tradition, but fraught with underlying tensions, unexpressed emotions and disguised interests.

The exchanges between the characters are filled with good humor and quick, spontaneous wit. There is an effortless quality to it, a smooth flow, the way I'd likely converse with friends. I was in desperate need of amusement and this book more than obliged. This is unquestionably an urban fantasy offering-- contemporary dialogue and setting, highly relatable, attitude in spades--

"Was assuming the fetal position and trusting that they wouldn't kick anything critical really your best plan?"

I also rather enjoyed Ms. Brennan's descriptions of the drive through New England's roads, invoking both good and not so good experiences.

Being an urban fantasy tale, I expected the appearance of creatures of urban legend, but I confess that the ones that made an actual appearance were not those I'd have predicted-- another testament to Brennan's original spin. I invite you to contemplate the collection of creatures referred to here "if you let me use your witch, I'll take the judgmental bloodsucker away and you can get back to squiring elf juice in vajayjays". Oh, did I mention this line is spoken by a kitsune, a type of shapeshifter? Certainly a collection of creatures few would likely assemble together, not to mention anywhere near a human female's vagina.

The best part about GENERATION V is the character Suzume, the kitsune who can transform from a fox to a foxy human female. She is a complex character, in a way that only females can be. While she is definitely stuff-of-fantasy with a touch of anime allure hot, she nonetheless retains a playful innocence, demonstrates poise under pressure and is highly intelligent, all preventing her from merely being decorative. While Suzume is not the central character, she is no sidekick, subordinate or mere love interest, stealing the limelight from Fort more than a few times.

I have few quibbles about this book. The antagonist is a bit two-dimensional, not fully fleshed out and without a level of ambiguity that would create a greater nemesis. Fort is sometimes outshined by Suzume but it's not much of an objection since Suzume is thoroughly engaging and Fort comes into his own towards the end, with a promise of more.

GENERATION V is also not without moments of earnestness. While the Scott family dynamic is a source of amusement, it is also a demonstration of various types of interpersonal relationships. Whether vampire or human, there is a spirit that resides within, a spirit capable of exceeding itself and deceiving itself. While there are real villains in this story, there are some who may seem villainous at first glance but are actually neither hero nor villain, just individuals coping with their unique circumstances in the best way they could. All creatures are imbued with inherent characteristics, a particular nature which, to some extent, cannot be denied. But neither is it absolutely intractable with a little bit of... fortitude.

While the particular conflict in this book has been resolved, there are hints of other controversies particularly Fort's true nature and background and the growth of his relationship with Suzume, whatever direction that may take. I'm excited about the various directions this series as a whole can take. This has been such a satisfying, enjoyable read that there is no question I would keep reading.

Oh, Ms. Brennan? I suppose it's only fair that I give you notice I'm totally stealing 'Buddha's balls'.
I’m not sure how this series passed me by originally, but I’m really glad I found it.

Fortitude Scott is a vampire, or almost a vampire. He has yet to grow into his fangs….and he honestly hopes he never does, even though it’s all inevitable. His mother is the formidable Madeline Scott and doesn’t take no for an answer when she wants Fortitude home for dinner, but when he’s not at his Mother’s house he spends his entire life pretending to be fully human. Which is all he ever wanted to begin with. Is to be normal and human, but it’s hard to pretend when he has to drink his mother’s blood monthly in order to survive right now.

It’s a gritty urban fantasy along with some really funny dialog between Fort and his best friend Suzume, a Kitsune, as they try to find a couple of missing girls. He is certain that a visiting vampire, that his mother has welcomed into her territory, has kidnapped these girls in order to try to make his own child vampire. The process is extremely difficult to perfect, and because of this difficulty, this vampire has been using and discarding young human girls until he can find one that works. You’ll be surprised to find out how vampires are born in this one, as it’s completely different than anything you’ve probably ever heard or read before.

I had a hard time putting this one down and am well into the second book of the series, which so far is even better than this one. I love Fort’s dry sense of humor and Suze’s sarcastic wit. Between the 2 of them you’ll be laughing out loud, even if the storyline is gritty and sometimes gruesome. Definitely worth reading.
This is the first book that I fit by this author. I'm a big fan of the urban fantasy genre when it is more Dresden Files, Alex Verus, or Charming of Pax Arcana. The common theme among these books is the hero fighting against much stronger opponent.
