Status Updates From Blood Cross (Jane Yellowroc...

When, exactly, did these two form a romantic connection strong enough it is just... understood to exist? They spoke very little, mostly about work, mostly acting like they're uneasy allies or even enemies. When was I supposed to go: this, this guy is so great? I feel like Jane is going to go for Rick as the easy, low-hanging fruit, discover it won't work before going for the... servant. Not a fan, yet.

And the plot thickens... Like, I am still to anxious about the kits but Jane saving a vamp? I don't mind this new development.

I think we need a new rule: permanent collar. Chainmail, preferably. For public appearances, a cross choker. A silver cross choker... with spikes. Fool me once, right? This is your chance to do better next time.

You crazy??? You going to go for the sabertooth NOW??? I know I said I wanted it but not like this...

See, this is the one problem with audiobooks, they were saying Dolores all this time and I was clueless. Pain? The special grieving status is just called... Pain? Wauu...

Allow me a hypothesis - a vamp drinking blood from a witch gets some protection from sunlight. I think their blood has to have some interesting properties that are the root of the species' animosity.

Nooooooo... the gender matters??? This is my sad face. I hope Jane will get an upgrade that will let her overcome this detail later on.

Darn, took long enough. Is it weird of me to hope Jane will turn into a sabertooth? It would be so cool, right? It's not just me.

Gotta say, props to the narrator. French and British accents, all the indigenous vocabulary... She really brings this world to life.

It's not that it's a bad development, it's the loose of control and lack of choice that bugs me. Jane, choosing to go to a fancy party? Cool. Being forced to attend one? Not so much. Picking a tumble in the hay? Sure. This? Why?

Uh, why do I find her hacking off a vampire's head so cool and badass? Asking for a friend. She wasn't... unafraid but you know what they say, bravery is not the absence of fear but acting despite feeling it. It also took her one move. As I said - complex. I like it!
