Status Updates From House of Stone

"...I work in gay porn. Is that a quality any woman would look for in a husband? Actually, I'll withdraw that question. I might not like the answer."

LOL!

Damn, I really love doing an author search on my extensive book hoard and finding another treasure!

Popcorn novel.

Bought this ages ago. Now I'm reading it.

Ugh, FINALLY! I kept banging my head against my iPad at every mention of the frigging sword. Especially so when Dick didn’t run to retrieve it after finding he can lit pretty much anything with his new fire. I hate it when authors do it :/

Should all cold iron be considered a deadly weapon in Fae world? Then Tremaine is just as knee deep as Sim. Maybe even more. Sim assaulted a Tremaine’s knight. A Treamaine’s knight assaulted a noble. O.o

There was another rip in the story earlier. Can’t recall just now :/ But it adds up :(

I loathe present tense. Loathe!> There are books where it’s justified. I see no reason for it here.
Yet .... I can’t stop reading. This story is too much fun!

Oh... and Uriah Heep rulz! :D

Starting to pick up now. Yay!

I dunno. Kind of dragging for me. Feels a little flat.

We are amused...maybe not rolling in the isles, but still amused.

Truly appreciating Demont's ability to drop a bomb without explaining it as if the reader is too dim to get it on their own.

And now I'm actually liking the end. But the middle was so frustrating! How the eff do I rate that?

Ugh, I am finding this so frustrating.

I hope this starts making sense to me at some point.

Screw this for now; I'm working on my essay.

"The duchess on the other hand is wearing a gown woven from leaves and flowering buds, her skin a creamy white, eyes a verdant green, her hair a loose and barely tamed mass of locks, a deep brown and gray, like tree bark. It isn’t how she looks all the time."
Why is that italicized sentence there? What does she usually have dark skin, brown eyes, and, I dunno, purple hair or something?

Requiem of Stone subplot, also more in detail on that in my review comments, to be uploaded after I finish reading

Blah, blah, blah "sword-impostor" subplot (more on this in my review because I've already gone over this in the doc I'm writing my review comments on and really, there's much more there than can fit in this tiny little progress update pane)

"I should add..."

Let me beat you over the head with more tales of how stupid mortals see not the reality of things but average normal things that their puny minds are capable of accepting.

"How to Write Characters:
Descriptions
All you need to do is come up with a hair color, eye color, skin color, and general hair style. Voila. Instant complete and in-depth character description."

Blah blah blah, Hereditary Ring of Stone subplot. *ba-dum tsss* Get it? It's a ring of stone. For House of Stone. It's all about stones, yeah? *forced laugh*

*face-palm*

I couldn't even force myself to look at the scene. I found I could only skim through it just enough to get the gist but not enough so I was scarred for life by all the contrived "OMG!!!"s going on.

*wince-cringe*
"He’s started thrusting now, and it feels like a battering ram against my prostate, bashing the county gates to my climax. Boom. Boom. Boom."
Total "Boom"s here and peppered through awkward dialogue in next two paragraphs: 10
# Booms in italics of the total booms: 4
Longest Boom streak: 3 booms
shortest boom streak: 2 booms

*forced laugh* Ahaha unfunny lame pun *more awkward fake-laughing*
