Bleizgeist Kindle Edition

by Hazel Butler (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
3.8 out of 5 stars 13 ratings
Ingary is a harsh land. Cursed by a perpetual winter, the isolated little town has all but forget why they worship the wolf.

Marked by magic she cannot control, Marishka is an outcast. Alone and starving she is plagued by geiste, the unconscious minds of the people of Ingary, roaming the wilderness as they sleep. Attracted to the gramarye in Marishka’s blood, the geiste give her no rest. Losing herself to madness, she is saved when she chances to fall in love. But when her affair is discovered, all hope is taken from her.

Beaten and lovelorn, she resigns herself to death.

And then the wolf walks through her door, and Marishka recalls the meaning of Bleizgeist—the spirit of the wolf.

    5.0 out of 5 stars A wonderfully evocative, beautifully written tale that will stick with you long after reading…
    Reviewed in the United States on December 20, 2015
    This book is a fantastic one.

    Literally. :)

    The people here are as harsh as the landscape, but they're not without their warmth, and in a land of perpetual winter, warmth is important. Heck, even in a world not cursed with perpetual winter, warmth is important. The warmth Marishka finds is not exactly conventional, which makes her story all the more intriguing.

    How do you survive as an outcast in a place as harsh as Ingary? Beyond that, how do you thrive?

    Read this book and find out. Seriously, read it - if I keep talking, there will be spoilers. :)

    Bleizgeist is wonderfully evocative and beautifully written, the kind of story that sticks with a person. I can't wait to read it again.

    I bought this book on a whim, not expecting much since it was only one review. Now this book will grip you and drag you through the snow with poor protagonist yet the turns are unexpected and it twists on you as soon you think you know what's what and that's where the book excels.

    2.0 out of 5 stars Deeply unsatisfied
    Reviewed in the United States on May 27, 2016

    I wanted so badly to like this. Lesbian werewolves? Bonsai! But for some reason, the book spent at least the first half playing this weird queer-baiting game in which it tried to act like maybe her relationship was with a guy! This is an LGBTQA book, you don't need to hide it. If it was with a guy, that's fine; I've got no problems with bisexuality or pansexuality. Heck, that could've been cool! But no. Just weird queer baiting in a queer book. No bueno.

    But okay, I tried to see past that. Maybe the author was trying to trick theoretical straight readers into reading this. I can respect that.

    But then there's the multiple counts of attempted rape, which is the sort of thing I'd rather not crash into when reading about this bamf wolf lady. Speaking of bamf, what the heck happened to that? She randomly wimps up, and, (spoiler) is too wimpy to protect her favorite wolf pup, and then, despite being oft compared to a wolf herself, doesn't want to kill the guy who killed her pup. Okay, fine, she's sending him back as a warning--oh wait, the guy who she was warning? Yeah, he's gonna show up in her forest. And assault her. And also, he's been assaulting her girlfriend for months (years?)

    There were so many opportunities for greatness. I liked the world the author built, or at least the species, it was an interesting take on werewolves. But it all added up to...semi-tragic, sexist, bull. I was lured in by some truly gorgeous cover art, but this book was just not enjoyable.

    I think the author could write amazing books, but this one didn't make me want to find out.

    To the author: My apologies that I couldn't leave a positive review. Writing is really hard, and you wrote a lot! Good job there! If I may, consider happy lesbians maybe? Some people enjoy the tragic gays trope, but a lot of us queer folk just want to read about fictional queer folk having decent lives! Or at least, if you're gonna write a strong character, don't feed me crap about her being musically bound to her abuser (I still don't understand why--I can't remember her name--the wolf didn't eat the face of the guys who attacked her) and don't you wimp out on me; kill the jerk. Just kill them. It's therapeutic for everyone. She can feel bad about it afterward, if you really must, but come on. That guy needed to die. And the cub really didn't. She should have been smart enough to run from the hunter, come on.
    Seriously, I wanted to reach into the book saved strange like, eighty percent of the men in this book. At least. Eighty is pretty conservative, actually. By the end I just wanted the whole town to burn, actually. She should have packed up her pups and left.

    I thought this was truly awful--at least the first hour of reading which was as much as I could tolerate. Nothing happens. A dreary young woman endlessly gnaws at her dreary emotions. Perhaps it was written for young teenage girls?

    I really enjoyed reading this. It's so well written that I fell into it and didn't climb back out until I'd finished.

    The story is a realistic one - loss, love and betrayal in a world full of sheep and wolves. The twist is perfectly wound into the rest of the story - you don't see it coming at all.

    It's only short coming is that it's too short! I want to see more of Marishka and her pack...

    A fantastic novella that pushes the reader to look outside the perceived 'norm' when addressing love and relationships.

    Butler has a fantastic talent at weaving together ancient folklore and giving it her own, dark twist.

    Recommend to lovers of dark fantasy and gothic tales.
