The Guardian discussion

Gosh, I loved this book. Had me laughing, crying and completely hooked! Ms Kenyon did it again! Did you enjoy it as much as I did??

yes I did - it was a very good installment

I really enjoyed this book, I prefer SK writing on her own..a much better read than the "Beladors"..and of course its lovely to see familiar names appearing..I love those "oooh! moments" LOL

It wasn't my favorite, but I did enjoy it. I earned a place on my bookshelf.

I loved it....

Was a first one that I felt could truly be read as a stand alone in the series. And in part gave me the Jericho vibe from Dream Warrior. But it was pretty solid story telling as only she can do it for the world she created.

Yes. Was great.

It was okay. Not my favorite but I did love seeing more of Jaden.

I loved it... I agree seeing more of Jaden.

I liked learning more about Jaden, and Seth has become one of my new favourite SK men.

This book made me cry :) Seth touched me on so many different levels that it shocked me. I love this book! Can not wait to learn more about Jaden and Thorn............ Anyone hear any news on their stories?

I tried to like this book and for the most part I did, however, it felt so rushed to me and I really hated the ending. I didn't like that there were too many loose ends to tie up and I felt like Kenyon just threw together an ending and didn’t ever explain the reasons behind anything. Without giving too much away, I had questions on what Lydia’s role was in the story was and I felt like Seth was WAAAYY to tortured! It was sad and depressing to me. I have to say that I’m becoming less and less of a fan of Kenyon’s as each new book comes out. I feel she almost rushes to put out books and they are losing depth and are so disappointing to me. My favorite part of the book was the end when she added a chapter about Ash and Tori’s baby being born…that was fantastic!!! I almost wish Kenyon would write some sequels and bring us back to the old characters we loved so dearly!!

I've read nearly all her books (including the League and that weird Balathor (Sp?) collorabation series she did) and I can tell you that the only difference between each one is the character and setting + some random tidbits on mythological lore/world-building thrown in. SK is getting to the point where her work is just copy/paste in general and fill in the blanks (with regard to characters). In other words, pure rubbish. The only reason why I'm still reading is to get the backstory on the more bad-ass characters and because her "reimagining" of the Gods is just so fricking awesome regardless of the endlessly tortured hero who can TRUST NO ONE + witty sidekick aka customary femalefuckbuddy being repeated ad nauseum throughout ALL of her books.

The Chronicles of Nick is probably the sole shining light in the darkness of the fail that the DH series has become. Unless she spends more time hashing out the plot and characters to make them more interesting, they will continue to be shit so long as she's rushing to meet her deadlines for new books and her various series (a new book every 2-3 months is just insane, especially since there's at least 2-3 series she's juggling all at the same time. There's no way she's doing enough Quality Control).

As a hard-core fan of her original books, you can't imagine how much this is breaking my heart to see how far the series has fallen.

She really needs to figure out a plan for the DH series. It started as an amazing series..........now she has suddenly went from Greek mythology to........<<<<<<<<(view spoiler)[>>>>>>>>>>>> Native American? Really? No let's get back on track and write about the characters the people NEED to know about..........like Jaden.........Nick............Thorn................and Savitor! I am disappointed in her work recently......but I did love Seth but still its not enough to have me running out to buy In Time when it is released! (hide spoiler)]

Nouda and Emily...I couldn't agree more! I loved her series when it first came out and I would LOVE to read Jaden's story too! I've been waiting for something that brings us back to the "oldie but goodie" DHs, but then she releases "Retribution" and I could just SCREAM! I mean come on!!! :D

What is In Time about? I haven't heard of this one yet...

I believe I got the name wrong LOL That is how much I am not following her anymore.........It may be Time Untime.....But it is more in the Native American stories I guess that Retribution was about........I don't care! Give me Thorn and Jaden!!!!!!!!!

I love Sherilyn Kenyon and all her books, but for me native Americans are least favorite as well
Still- a book for native Americans like Time untime is better than no book at all, and I love how all kind of mythology gets mixed up so nicely, without contradictions, but I am a huge fan of the Were hunters and wish for another book with them- the bears for example- they have soo many kids and I want books for all of them

I liked it. I don't mind other gods, demigods, demons, dream hunters and after I start reading I don't even mind the native American related stories. These stories are highly entertaining and enjoyable, but I do agree with some here that the amount of books that have been released in a too short time can lead to repetition of story lines with different named characters. It would be boring though if we all had the same taste, but I have no solution to being disappointed as the only option would be not to read the new books, but then you might miss a really good one or the return of your beloved "older" characters.

I really enjoyed this book, just found SK a couple of months back & have read every single book. So just wondering why no new dream hunter book this year? Is there anything on deck, or is she taking a break from DRmH? I've enjoyed them probably a lot more than the last few Dark Hunter books. Still looking forward to Styxx', which I see as a progression in the right direction.

New Dream hunter next year - its on her website - saw it earlier this week. Not a full book called Dark Bites. Looks .like short stories

I seen that, but I was hoping for a new novel. Hmmm oh well! Thanks so much for the reply.;)

I enjoyed it but did not LOVE it. It really fell short of the writing calibre Kenyon epitomises. it was good, just not Kenyon-level excellent.
