Subject: Some overall thoughts

Don't get me wrong,I LOVED this book,but I was also left with a lot of questions about Sin.Is he or isn't he a Dark-Hunter? I think I recall him telling Kat at one point that her father just 'gave him a job',so I'm assuming his soul is intact,since an Act of Vengeance is never mentioned for him(it would have been used against Artie,LOL)and also his eyes aren't black? The eyes must be b/c he was a god,though,and we know the gods can have souls,too,b/c Artie has asked Ash who he'd trust with his.

He doesn't even hunt the Daimons,although Ash & he both go after the Gallu demons,so that balances it,I suppose.But I was left with the impression that Dark-Hunter is an empty title for him.I did really enjoy the opening chapters with his fight sequences-it took me back to the good ol' days of Kyrian,Talon,Zarek,etc.I also enjoyed the way he & Kat's relationship was written.It seemed to move a little fast,but it was still believable and actually felt like a romance to me.I hardly paid attention to Geary & Arik in The Dream-Hunter b/c I never saw any great romance there,I was more focused on the mythology.It was nice for this book to have an 'older' feel to it,with the fights and the romance more a part than in recent books,IMHO.Darkside was an awesome read for me as well,but this one made me realize that my brain is tired of trying to figure out everything,and it made me long for a 'simpler' DH book,one where we have Daimons,soul medallions,and visits/events/appearances from gods & pantheons we are familiar & comfortable with.I have thrived & embraced the complexity of things along the way,now I want to relax and be able to enjoy the stories a little,I think,since there were some major, not-so-mysteries revealed in this book.I love Sherri and I love her writing,and I can't wait to go to the Vegas signing on Monday *SQUEE* but I think I am getting burned out trying to keep up with things,LOL.

[> Oh complete and utter ditto. I read Dream Hunter and liked all the mythology, but felt the main H/H were just a teeny bit blah. Didn't connect with them at all. I'm so very very glad she wrote this latest book more in the style of the older books. -- Chez, 01:33:21 08/11/07 Sat [1]
