Kenyons Minions discussion

Although I own every paperback available in this series I stopped reading for a while. Understand that it was due to the fact that I believe that darkhunters deserve my full attention while reading. I only began Styxx and I must say my heart breaks, stomach twists, head throbs, and sex drive dies as I read. The actions done have been exceedingly gruesome! I die with each page whimpering and aching for better events to happen. I have been disappointed thus far but I am only about 20% and I know Kenyon has a great triumph and joy coming. It is just hard for me to continuously read through such excruciating pain. I just had to say that to someone. Thank you for listening/reading.

Did you read Acheron? Styxx is very like that (emotionally). You have to get waaaay past 20% before the pain stops. But, it does stop!

Yes I did a while back and I remember going through that agony also. Their stories were so similar yet they grew up hating each other. That in itself is torturing. I keep wanting them to reunite, but I know it is not that simple. Ugh good books but painful to my heart. Especially since like everyone here I love the series so dearly.

Yea definitely not a book to read alone. I could have only gotten through it doing a buddy read. Otherwise I'd have never finished.

Sometimes I wonder about my mental state that I look SO forward to every SK book! They are ALL traumatic!

Well if your mental state is in question, then you have a full group of folks behind ya then lol. But at least the humor balances it all out.

Yes! Probably the only reason I can keep reading :)

And these are characters that we can always root for.

Haha Cindi, I have thought that too. As a psychologist in training I practically live for the in depth analysis of the psyche of these wounded warriors. Then I think "what the heck is wrong with me!?" lol

Ash and Styxx did have me rethinking my mental capacity for their struggle as I almost started feeling a little sympathy ptsd myself.

Maybe that is why I made all my fam and friends read this series, so I wouldn't be alone. Ha!

Glad I found you all!!! :D

Want to share a room? A white, padded room... :)

Bet the rent would be cheap there for sure. ;)

Cjeap rent and nice padded surroundings to lounge around on while reading.. count me in ;D

styxx ..totally changed my mind about him. i used to not care for him now he's afav. those poor brothers went through so much pain. such a good twist on the story tho love eeedd it

I just re-read Acheron and Styxx in the last couple of weeks. The book Styxx still made me cry. I had tears coming down my eyes. Even though I love Acheron and know his struggle was horrible but Styxx just broke my heart.

You are a brave one Monica. I don't have the courage to go back through those save for skimming a few parts.

They are my favorites, Along with Julian's book in her League series. In Acheron I loved Ryssa and in Styxx I wanted to smack her upside the head.

The height of what really good characters can do for us at times. :)

I want to reread both books after I finish Styxx. It will hurt but I think it will help if I read them closer in time together.

It did help. Gave me a better idea of what Styxx was actually going through at the same time Acheron was.

Good luck Alicia. As I've learned at times you learn something more and more when you do a re-read at times.

I have been shedding some tears and my fiancé asked why keep reading if it makes you so upset? "Because these books are awesome and I know it will eventually make me smile. :(" He shook his head and said I am strange, then went back to his video game. Lol

Guys...lol

LOL I was reading Styxx this past weekend and my husband walked in the room and saw that I was crying. He was like "Not again". He had just caught me crying when I was reading Born of Legend.

Haha, should have told him to just bring the extra tissues.
