Kitty in the Underworld Kitty Norville Carrie Vaughn Books

Summary: Dux Bellarum, Roman, has hurt a friend, and Kitty is worried about what they can do to stop them. When there are unknown weres in her and Ben's territory, Kitty goes to check it out. She is kidnapped, but can't stay angry for long because they know how to stop Roman. Will they succeed?

Review: I am a champion for the Kitty books. I think Carrie Vaughn is a superb writer. But this book was just a big letdown.

I like her characters. Kitty continues to grow and in this book she starts to see her role in the Long Game as more than just a "mouthpiece". She has been fighting it for a bit, but I think she is coming to terms with it. We barely got to see our normal supporting cast, but we met other interesting characters.

Also, I enjoyed the storytelling and historical references. It helped frame the whole novel.

That's where it ends for me. Because, this felt more like a novella than a full length novel. I was bored with Kitty's time in lock up. Was it necessary for it to be that long and monotonous? I think if she shortened Kitty's time as a prisoner, the story would have flowed better. And, as much as I enjoyed the history in this book, it was a bit much. Too many tales with separate threads that didn't find a cohesive story.

The overall plot was also bland. It wasn't compelling. I wanted to get sucked into Kitty's world and I found myself skimming. Not good. A kidnapping should be exciting. Rather it was boring. I half thought they were going to break out the fancy tea set and have petite fours at one point. Where was the heat?

She introduced characters that could have been fleshed out later, but instead many of them died. Why introduce characters that are going to die anyway? And what was Angelo's role in this book? I didn't get it. I don't see how he added to the story.

The best of Kitty's books are the radio shows. And again, I was bored by them. She had a vampire stripper on the show. She could have made it so much more fun! Think of the places that it could go! But, I wanted to take a nap, instead.

It was dull. I hate saying that about books, especially when they come from an author I admire, but there it is. It was boring. I hope we get a more thrilling story in the next installment. Or, it's time to wind down Kitty's story? I suppose that's something only Vaughn can answer.

Sex: none
Violence: not much at all. Negligible.

Quote: "So, a question for the peanut gallery: Once they turn sixty-five, how long should working vampires be able to collect social security? The rest of their lives, like the rest of us? Are you a vampire collecting social security? I want to hear from you..."

Next book: Not sure , but I think it will be a novel from Cormac's POV. Let's hope there is no everlasting romance between him and Amelia.

Kitty in the Underworld Kitty Norville Carrie Vaughn Books Reviews

I have been trying to understand why this book is so expensive in paperback and I have no idea now. I love the Kitty series and I hoped this book would be even better than the last. I was disappointed with this book and the amount of time Kitty spent in one place with none of the other main characters involved. Not even short snippets from their POV’s. I read it so I could move on to the next book but I don’t think I needed to read it. I would have been able to figure out what I had missed I am sure. This book had the potential to explore a vast amount of characters and more revealing information but it stayed stuck just like Kitty did.
I have read and pretty much enjoyed all the "Kitty" books to date and was looking forward to this one. What a disappointment! This has to be the most boring book I've read in a long time. Toward the end, I realized that the best part of these books is Kitty's interaction with the other primary characters - Ben, Cormac and even Amelia, but this books sees these characters in the first few pages and the last few pages. It's all Kitty - whining Kitty, scared Kitty, introspective Kitty and finally, stupid Kitty. Just not worth the effort in my opinion. Those of you who are faithful readers of this series, be warned! Not much happens. In fact, nothing happens. Ok, you do meet Roman's "creator". Big deal. You learn nothing more than that. Skip this one if you want - you won't miss anything. I don't know what is wrong with this author lately, but since she introduced her "grand" villain, she seems to have lost her touch. I'll give her one more try, but if Kitty doesn't grow a backbone that will be it.
I love this series and I've been following it for a long long time. Unfortunately, this one is by far, my least favorite. It dragged on and on and never seemed to get anywhere. The vast majority of it had Kitty held captive and I just couldn't find myself caring. I also didn't seem to care about the secondary characters though that could have simply been because the usual secondary characters were pretty much out of the picture. Even the "epic battle" at the end left me feeling blah.

I even ended up leaving this in a hotel room once I finished and I didn't even care. It wasn't worth finding room for it in my luggage. Considering I have every other book in this series on my bookshelf, that says a lot.

Hope this helps!
I know the reviews on this book are quite varied, but I loved this quirky, offbeat episode in the life of Kitty Norville. First of all, it takes place in the bowels of the earth, which is a setting this reviewer happens to enjoy very much. I found it interesting to experience Kitty feeling so helpless, unable to do a lot to help herself out of the very strange situation in which she finds herself. I admit there are times when the book slows a bit, but I found these new, crazy characters, all believing that Kitty is the final piece in their magical working to be a lot of fun. Norville's description of their be-wonderment at Kitty's obstructive attitude is very entertaining.
I do believe that Ms Norville may have had this volume ready to go if she hit a bit of a block (a tip I learned while reading Stephen King's, "Bag of Bones"). Given that I have read the two subsequent volumes, I believe my case is strengthened. The story arc is not really pushed forward, but this reviewer found this a very entertaining read nonetheless. While potential readers should be familiar with the previous books, I do think fans of the series can skip this entry if they are not obsessive about reading every book in a series.
