Styxx

8/2/14

So the low down on this book is that it is about Acheron's brother. Or more commonly known as Ash because it's easier to say. Also if you don't know who Ash is, he is the first and leader of the dark hunters. He even has his own story in the series where you find out about his history and how he became a dark hunter, and also you read about him finding his true love. Def wasn't Artemis, she ruined that chance. Anyways, for those who have read Ash's story, this is basically is Styxx's side of the story. You know what they say, 'there is always two sides to every story' and this one for sure does. Since half of Ash's story was told through their sister's eyes, this is solely through Styxx's eyes. You find out that Ryssa, their sister, didn't see the whole picture. To her, Styxx was just a selfish brat that hated his brother. According to this book, Styxx loved his brother very much and did everything to protect him. Also Styxx felt like that Ash was his only best friend when they were kids. Then Ash was taken away. Styxx was forced to fight for himself and put others feelings before his. He has also wised up through the years and learned what to do that will provide lesser punishment. Poor kid. Styxx apparently didn't have it as easy as Ryssa thought. I pretty much stopped where he was doing his fighting lesson and he gained the respect of his trainer by no complaining about his injuries. To me that is just too sad. When you read the book you will understand why I said that. Anyways, I'm going to continue to read the book. I have over 800 pages to read and I'm not even a tenth of the way through the book. This is going to take a while. So until next time....

 So I'm making an exception to my rule of only posting about a book three times. That is only because this book is long. Its like the size of a dictionary. Like I've mentioned before, I've read this book way back when. Like so far back that I can't even remember the posts I did on it. Anyways, I had to reread the book from the beginning. Some I remembered and other I didn't at all. But basically this is like Acheron, but through Styxx's point of view. Which makes it interesting because you get to see what his life was actually like instead of how the sister viewed him. Really she just misunderstood him and its kind of heartbreaking. Actually everything Styxx goes through is kind of heartbreaking and there is no end to it. So far I'm only a quarter of the way through the book. Like I just got a quarter of the way and that is just entering the 200s in this book. There is like 900 pages all together. Looks like I have a lot of reading ahead of me. So until next time.....

 I am finally halfway through the book. You have no idea how long it took me to get this far. Especially with such a needy family. I love them to death, but they really need to give me time to myself so I can read. Anyways, I can't even remember what my last post said that its been so long. Either way, I'm just going to tell you about the parts that I remember most. Like the fact that Styxx falls in love with a mystery woman who is actually a Goddess. Of course, she doesn't tell him the truth and he even keeps his true identity from her. Of course, she eventually finds out and leave him. Poor guy. She makes him feel even more worthless just by doing that. Also Styxx goes to war, almost gets killed by allies because of jealousy, and almost gets disowned by his father. Things are just not looking up for him lately. But its still pretty interesting to see things in his point of view. Especially when I read something that is about the same time frame as in Acheron. You really get to see what Styxx is actually thinking during that time and what he was really going through. But I'm waiting for when the part Acheron dies and Styxx along with him. Only because I want to see his point of view on that. If I remember correctly the previous books hinted it, but never actually told the reader what happened. Also I want Styxx back together with his goddess. It makes me curious on how Sherrilyn played that out in the book. Also makes me wonder if she got that child of Styxx's she wanted before she left him, or is that for later on? I only ask this because it was hinted in The Chronicles of Nick series. Just saying. But I'm going to take a break from reading because my head is killing me. Getting sick is no fun, especially when you have to work an overnight shift and all you want to do is sleep. So until next time......

 This book is taking far too long for me to read. Thank the good lord I only have a quarter of it left to read. And, its in more of a modern setting because of the fact that one scene that played out in Acheron just played out in this book. The part where Acheron dies and his goddess mother destroys everything in her fit of rage and pain. Also I was sure she was going to let Beth go. But it didn't happen and that makes me sad. That was the one part I didn't remember from Acheron. Either way I do hope the two love birds find each other after all that tore them apart for over ten thousand years. Also I want to know how they get back together. The book just gets more interesting the more I read. Even if its the size of a fricken dictionary. Why do you have to make your books so big, Sherrilyn? Why? And they only seem to get bigger as the series go on. I only say it like that because the League series is the same exact way. Anyways, I'm going to try to finish this book today. I'm not making any promises, because I could possibly forget it at home again. Or, I could just say screw it and forget I even picked up the book in the first place. But the second option would make you guys hate me. So until next time......

 I'm about 94% through the book and I'm thankful for small favors. Anyways, a big battle is about to break out, making me wonder when Styxx is going to be reunited with his leading lady. I don't even have a clue on how they are going to bring her back. Why you gotta wait until the last page or the last second, Sherrilyn? Anyways, the book is pretty good. Long, but good. It pretty much takes until the end of the book before Ash realizes his mistakes and understand Styxx's pain. Also it takes everyone else the same amount. Makes you feel bad for the leading man. I wish I could write more, but since there are only a few pages left, I can't tell you anything serious. Just hints. Why? Because Sherrilyn Kenyon waited until the very end of the fricken book to tell you the best parts. Anyways, our leading roles are going to end up together again and maybe this small suspicion is going to be confirmed. I am not even going to tell you the suspicion, but I will tell you that it involves Urian. So until next time....
