The Enchantment Emporium

Tanya Huff has created a strange series-well written and not horribly boring or predicable BUT SO MUCH INCEST. SO MUCH INCEST. Maybe I'm a stuffy American, but if you're going to have incest from the very beginning of the book to the very end of the book please, please, please, explain why. Not just hint at why, but EXPLAIN WHY THERE'S INCEST IN THIS BOOK ALL OVER THE FREAKING PLACE. Why is the main character going too/has/will sleep with her brother? Why do all the cousins sleep with each other all the time? The author hints at the need to keep the blood lines close and that the aunts watch over who can sleep with who, but uhm, again, why all the incest? You can't just throw that into a book, make it a major part of the story line, and then not ever address it.
Ok, I'm done yelling now.
So, besides all of the unexplained incest, this book is just ok. The main character is the type of character I generally like: strong, wants to help people, and doesn't make me yell at her for doing stupid stuff that she should avoid. There are some interesting supportive characters, including her cousin/lover and a leprechaun who has serious abandonment issues, but the love interest is pretty lame. I mean, really, they just fall in love, and he doesn't have ANY questions about her, her background, and all the incest around him? Or about how she just is like, f*%k your free will I'm gonna put my sign on you and get you in trouble with your boss. I mean, I'm not the most sensitive person, but before I mark someone and send them to face a super powerful mad man who wants me dead, I might at least tell him I marked him.
So, I'm not gonna read the rest of this series, and I won't be recommending this book to anyone else. If you have some time to waste, this isn't a bad way to waste it, but if you want to read a good urban fantasy, read something else.
