The Flesh Cartel

review 1: Unusual additional star for Nate; for his slip of hand, for serving Petrovic his own medicine. This was the brightest moment so far in all the books. My only regret is that Roger hasn’t been served his - well deserved - double helping of serum. This is what Mat should have done long time ago (FC 4 or 5) when Petrovic ordered him to inject serum himself. And although it was only water, it would be the sign of Mat’s resistance and fighting back for which I futilely beseeched the Ladies for so long. Mat’s change of mind who is responsible for Douglas misery (“you did it – no, you did) is duly noted but came too late to be appreciated. Should Mat contradicted Petrovice this way after the party (which unfortunately we left too early) with wine enema and 100 strokes w... moreith cane, I would sing Mat praises. Regrettably, then he agreed fully with Petrovic, took all blame on himself, thanked him for his kindness and training (which shocked not only me but Petrovic as well). Last but not least - but I (promise to) mention it for the last time. My worst nightmares came true. Petrovic proved to be a man of high moral standards, integrity and values. He will help Mat and Nate because of his responsibility for his pets, because deep down, inside, he cares. Which in MHO is a big bullshit. I think his age hasn’t been mentioned so far (but he is older than Roger who is thirty something) and in this episode we learn he has been torturing people since the age of (make no mistake) 13 (yes, thirteen!). So he has been effectively transforming humans into dogs, cripples and corpses for approximately 30 years and suddenly he will turn back to his pleasurable and profitable business to save one of his numerous holes. I’m not convinced at all and I’m not buying it.On the most fundamental level he treats all of his “creations” instrumentally - even Roger isn’t offered different treatment despite all the Pterovic’s sweet talks. Petrovic knows about Roger’s feeling about Mat, he once encouraged them, then exploited them but because they are now of no use for him he doesn’t bother what Roger can feel. And how he cares for Douglas: face drenched in semen, screaming and impaled on fucking machine, fist and half a forearm wedged in the slave ass aren’t OK because there is on fulfillment or sense of duty in Douglas’s expression; should he pretend all of it was service and pleasure it would be OK(?). And the stupidest idea of all: he must destroy cartel because during his 25 years sentence Roger would be lonely. Petrovic was always a coward: hidden behind the mask at the auction, behind the back of his bodyguards in his own house and behind the syringe with serum in Mat’s room. Yes, I believe he can help in cartel destruction but only because of fear what may happen to him, not his “pets”.
review 2: There are many things I really like about this series- the horror, the characters, the gross appeal and the suspense. I got a little bored during the end of the last season though and lost sympathy and/or interest in everyone except Mat.It endures though because the writing is so powerful, always pacey and brisk. There was one bit in this where I just had to moan in sympathy for poor Mat and Nate.I love the way that the author has absolutely no qualms and no gag reflex.Bring on the next one! less
