The Turn The Hollows Begins with Death eBook Kim Harrison

As a huge "Itchy Witchy" fan, I was dying to read The Turn. First, there was the cover lust. Can you believe how awesome this cover is? I just had to have it!

The Turn is a prequel to the Hollows series. It probably starts about fifty years before we meet Rachel Morgan in Dead Witch Walking, so there's no Rachel. Instead, we get to meet Trent's parents: Elyotrisk Cambri (who goes by Trisk) and Trent L. Kalamack (who goes by Kal).

Trisk and Kal hate each other. They were classmates and Trent made her life miserable. Trisk's a very smart dark elf and due to Kal's interference in school, she almost doesn't get offered a job after graduating. In the end, she's sent by the Elven Enclave to spy on Dr. Daniel Plank's research. Daniel's a human who has created a virus which can make people sick without killing them and the Inderlanders (supes) want to make sure it's safe for them as well. After three years of Daniel and Trisk working together and both succeeding in their research, Trent is sent to oversee the procedure.

For those who have read the Hollows and have met Trent (the son), we know he can be selfish, power-driven and arrogant. Well, his daddy is ten times worse. Only a couple of times, he wasn't a total bastard. His jealousy and desire for recognition were his downfalls.

Trist was not very different from Rachel. She was living in the sixties and she was trying to get her name out. It was hard for her because she was a woman but also because she was a dark elf. It didn't matter that she was a geneticist. She still had to break down biases and fight in a world dominated by men. She wanted to help the world. She created the T4 Angel Tomato which could end famine since it was immune to drought and disease. She cared for Quen and Daniel and I do believe in a strange way she cared for Kal.

It was wonderful going back to the Hollows world and revisiting such great characters like Al and Quen. The Turn also introduces a very cool pixie, Orchid. She didn't have as much of Jenks's foul language but she was feisty.

I hope we get more books!

The Turn The Hollows Begins with Death eBook Kim Harrison Reviews

This is a prequel to the Rachel Morgan stories, which I avidly read. Some characters in following books are introduced, and you get an idea how they were portrayed early on. So if you had an opinion of a character who dealt with Rachel Morgan, you might have your opinion altered.

With one character, the representation was worse than with Rachel Morgan. As the book ended, it seemed as if the author "twisted" things just so the end of this book would mesh with her previous books (set in the future). I was surprised, and somewhat dismayed.

However, politics can cause some situations such that the results are not tasteful.
I bought this book a month ago. I was both eager and reluctant to begin it. My eagerness stemmed from my severe Hollows' withdrawal. I wanted a chance to plunge back into Rachel's and Trent's world - "Sudden Backtrack" was way too short and only fueled my withdrawal. The book sat on the shelf for a few weeks. Two days ago, I finally decided to get started. I really tried to make it last, but it was too good, so here I am...all done.
The story takes us through the creation of the T4 Angel tomato by Dr. Trisk Cambri, a female dark elf, who has to fight for professional recognition in a male, light-elf-dominated society. Dr. Kalamack a light-elf who's been the bane of Trick's existence since they were in grade school tampered with her creation with deadly consequences for humanity. This starts Trisk and a colleague on a cross country run to save humans and clear their names.
This was a great read and it was nice running into known characters, seeing how they came to fit into The Hollows Quen, still unlucky in love; a teenage Takata, Piscary, Cormel, etc. It is a bittersweet story. Kalamack did some despicable things, but Kim Harrison manages to make us feel sorry for him. I know this is supposed to be the last of The Hollows world, but it only made me crave for more. I want to know how Trick and Trent L. Kalamack made it work (or not). I want to see how Daniel transitioned. I guess it will all have to be made up in my head. In the meantime, I'll go and re-read the series. Thanks Kim for a wonderful read.
It's a prequel, so you do know a lot of what will happen- this is the story of Rachel Morgan's world came into being. It's an alternate history of a world very much like ours with shared technology, music and some political events. Reading the Hollows books is helpful, this is a book that's fantastic for the fans but might be puzzling for brand new readers because she doesn't re-introduce or reiterate information that was fleshed out in that series. I'm glad for that, it was able to focus on what was new, which was how this all happened.

Kim Harrison has a talent for writing characters who should be utterly unlikable and humanizing them and making them relatable or at least sympathetic. But this book, even though you knew how it had to end for the original series, there was one character who remained completely unlikable for me throughout the book. It made it somewhat harder to read than the rest of her books have been. It's still very well written and you can understand the motivations and decisions of the main character.

There are several characters from previous books, and some of the same themes.

Recommended for fans. Other people will benefit from reading at least a few of the original Hollows books.
