Intro to Myself

So, I guess this could have been my first post but I didn't really think about it. I decided to start this blog because of my love for Sherrilyn Kenyon's books. I've noticed several things in her books that make me think too much. If I don't write it down I think my head may explode, and my husband is tired of listening to me talk about things that he knows nothing about. I am eager to talk to anyone about any of the Dark-Hunter books or CON. Even the Belador series, though there isn't much in them that I don't understand. Its still nice to talk about where we would like to see the story go.

I got my first Kenyon novel out of a $5 bin at Wal-Mart and have been hooked ever since. I never miss a release, and always have the new book the day it comes out. I am beginning to notice how she is bringing all the different stories together into one cohesive plot. While I am anxious for certain characters stories (Savitar) I understand why we have to have other stories first. Can't wait for Son of No One this fall and to see if the story will go where I think that it will.

I encourage anyone who reads this to share their thoughts as well, maybe we can get a good dialogue going and use each other to figure things out and if we are right or wrong in what we think.

Were-Hunter

There are several places in the Were-Hunter universe where they talk about the mating of the Katagaria and Arcadians. But what doesn't make sense is that depending what book or short your reading is how it can happen. As everyone know Were's are promiscuous, that is the only way for them to find the one that the Fates deem to be their soulmate. However, there are several things in Night Play that don't mesh with what is stated first by Vane in the beginning of the book and also what is said in the Dark Hunter Companion says that a were can not get pregnant until they are mated and only with their mate. However, Bryani never mated with Markus (Vane's parents), and yet she ended up pregnant with Vane, Fang, Anya, Star, Fury, and Dare. How is that supposed to work, it goes against everything that was previously stated.

Also in Night Play, it says that Were's aren't supposed to sleep together once the mark appears unless they plan to complete the mating (this is corroborate in Dark Side of the Moon). However, Vane and Bride continue in there relationship without the mating becoming official. There are so many things in the Were universe that don't make sense. I'm not sure if things are different in each Were species.

There are several things that are said in passing about different things it makes sense in some ways and in others it doesn't because it isn't mentioned at any other time. Such as mentioning in Dark Side of the Moon, about bonding and there having been several blue moons, however, we know that you don't have to wait for the blue moon to complete a bonding after the initial mating. They just have to join their marks and repeat the oath.

Further more, how can Dark-Hunters, who no longer have a soul, be mated to a Were? In Ravyn and Susan's case, he is still a Were but he doesn't have a soul anymore so how can he be mated? They also talk about how the fates only allow them one mate, does that mean that Susan is actually Isabeau reincarnated, and more understanding, or do the fates just feel like being jerks?

I love all the Kenyon books, there are just things about them that make me crazy sometimes and it drives my husband crazy to have to listen to me, because he has no idea what I am talking about. I welcome anyone else to share anything that they have noticed as well. I just needed some way to talk about this so that my husband doesn't kill me in my sleep, lol.
