It pisses me off beyond belief that Zarek wasn’t truly a Dark Hunter. One thing I have to mention, and this is a MAJOR SPOILER: Other times I sort of just felt like screaming, “Dude, get over it!”.but…well, that wouldn’t be very nice, would it? Reading about Zarek’s torture as a human was heartbreaking at times. “I hope you just left an important syllable off that word, princess.”ĭespite that, the tone of the book is very dark. I have to say I enjoy every minute of it.” “You really do suffer from insanity, don’t you?” Maybe because we didn’t see her before this book and therefore didn’t know her as well? I know SK was trying to show us that Zarek touched her as much as she touched him. Supposedly she’d lost all feelings years before, but she never acted that way, or came across that way. I never did quite buy that she was numb from all feelings, though. This time I knew what to expect and focused more on trying to let go of my resentment for the way SK ruined his character. He said all the right words, but deep down he was just a big pansy-ass teddy bear. What I got instead was a watered-down version of the early Zarek. I really thought he was an insane killer and I expected to see him healed by love. The first time I expected Zarek to be bad to the bone. I think part of the reason I was able to enjoy this more was that I went into it with different expectations. I understood more why he acted the way he did, though I still think he whined a bit too much. Zarek’s emo-ness still annoys me, but not as much as it did previously. I had a much better reaction this time around, however. He was so different in the previous books than he was in his own I could never reconcile his badass reputation with his whiny emo thoughts. When I read this book the first time I hated Zarek. But how can an ex-slave whose soul is owned by a Greek goddess ever dream of touching, let alone holding, a fiery star? I never believed that until the night Astrid opened her door to me and made this feral beast want to be human again.
Zarek: They say even the most damned man can be forgiven. Brave and strong, she is a point of light in the darkness. I want the truth about what happened the night I was exiled-I have nothing to lose and everything to gain.Īstrid (Greek, meaning star): An exceptional woman who can see straight to the truth. Truth: I endured a lifetime as a Roman slave, and 900 years as an exiled Dark-Hunter. The only thing I trust in is my ability to do the wrong thing in any situation and to hurt anyone who gets in my way. Trust: I can’t trust anyone…not even myself. But I don’t suffer from my insanity-I enjoy every minute of it. Insanity: A condition many say I suffer from after being alone for so long.
