Ren and Kishan briefly studied Shala's staff, which I knew a little about, having heard Li go on about weapons after each martial arts film we watched.

Well, I'm glad Li was useful for something.

"Yeah, I got that from watching your other date. You want to please me until you discover I'm not Lawala. Then you'll have temper tantrums and the skies will darken and all the light will leech out of the city while you two feel sorry for yourselves."

Funny. This is exactly how your beloved tigers behave but when they do it it's endearing.

As we studied the golden city, Ren whispered the words of a poem.

*massages temples* Skiiiiiiiip

Anyone miss me? I'm back, for the most part, have been busy with my sister's upcoming wedding stuff that I haven't had much time for over here! I've missed you all though!

Enough with the squicky fourth grader is engaged to their teacher ickyness.

Ew. Creepy. Teacher just gave an engagement ring to his fourth grade student.

Sakura, sweetie. I think saying that Tomoyo's mom really liked your mom is putting it lightly.

Holy crap I've been slacking off! Time to catch up by reading a bunch of manga.

Is there anyone in this book that doesn't want to bang whatever is left of Kelsey's brains out? Now even demons want to crawl up inside her little cotton panties.

My new body responded and my fingers elongated, producing another knuckle

OKAY you know what?! This has been done a few times earlier in this book but I swear I thought your doinky magic scarf could only make you clothes since when does it give you a totally new body ect...

Her dress, though not as fine as mine,

I'm annoyed that you had to add that tidbit. Because other people can have nice things just as long as we know Kelsey's stuff is nicer.

I blinked and said quietly, "You're talking about vampires."

Ren nodded. "They are much like the European version of vampires."

Atta girl Kelsey. Gotta make it white or else no one would be able to understand the story.

The amulet invigorated Lokesh, and somehow I knew he'd found the earth piece.

Somehow huh? It wasn't the earthquake the person wearing it a moment ago made happen? Just somehow you knew?

Since when is Kelsey mind connected to Lokesh and can see all the torturing of people he's doing/did for information all Harry Potter and Voldermort esque?

Why the hell is everything in this book so dependent on romance and who Kelsey truly loves. Even the damn quest hinges on that.

"I don't want food, Kelsey. I'm starving for you."

He says to his brother's fiancée.

"How do you know where to go?"

"I don't know," I replied. "I just do."

The author wanted me to have the right answers but didn't want me to have to use my brain.

What kind of person am I? How can I go from kissing one man, my fiancé, no less, to daydreaming about being swept away by his brother? Something is seriously wrong with me.

Well as long as you're aware

For the love of my sanity stop copy pasting other people's poetry into your book. I don't think that anyone leaves poetry for the person they love as much as you two knobs do.

Dear sweet Jedi Jesus please let this old woman with the broken English be the villain in disguise or something. Please don't tell me we are wasting pages on Kelsey just whimpering about her man problems to a random old Indian woman.

"Why your heart broken? You pretty girl. Strong back. What wrong? You got no mans?"

THIS IS SO AWFUL.

Handing me the brown fruit, she grinned, revealing a mouthful of surprisingly white teeth

I know it's shocking right? The wrinkly brown woman doesn't have jacked up teeth. It's almost like dentistry exists outside of the Western Hemisphere.

"Thank you, I Saachi. I rest here few minute. Okay with you?"

Hold on to your butts. Houck is writing dialogue for someone who's first language isn't English again.

Ugh! I've never done this but I'm seriously doubting my ability to finish this. You got one half of this stupid love triangle pouring his heart out and fucking purposing while our heroine only half listen and is eye humping the other half of the love triangle. AND SHE STILL SAYS YES TO THE PURPOSAL. I hated this in the other book it showed up in and I STILL hate it now

"I never understood the connection until you left me and returned to Oregon. I realized then that music was a link to you, a way to keep you close, much the same as my poetry.

Okay calm down Fella Swann. Also Kelsey confirmed as the reason for Ren's horrid poetry.

"I think you're right, Kelsey. Lokesh wants you in the same way the demon king wanted Durga.

*gags*

Oh balls we're introducing time travel into this hot mess?
