its been a few years since ive read dream of me/believe in me by josie litton, but from what i remember, the style of writing in here doesnt sound like it did it those books. the part about her older brothers beating her and her twin sounds unrealistic. "bat out of hell" & "dog tired" is rlly modern to be n this bk. "her unruly self needs must be silenced." "eyes that looked like shards of half-buried gold." wut exactly duz that look like? i already knew dragon was a hounddog,so i just waited for it.&i didnt have2 wait long.pg 15 to be exact. "utterly,completely,unreservedly adored them.old,young,in between." oh geez. "sweetling." boy,i hate stuff like that. how can she say its his fault 4fallin off the cliff.u shud pay attention2where ur running. this truth stuff is confusing.go ahead&tell us her power becuz its weird &confusing 2 leave it unexplained.i mean,im assuming she can tell truth from lies. "most appealing pair of brown eyes." shes talking about a horse. she has a chance2escape so she makes it2 the creek&just sits there. the nightmare thing came out of left field. their 1st kiss also came from left field. "pleasure jellied her joints." why is that italicized? "he was just a man just a man just a man." annoying. "absolutely curl up n2 a lil ball of embarrassment &go poof away." mordern&stupid. good thing its the main character hes kissin/sleepin w/otherwise he'd be kissin sum girl scant days b4 his marriage. "she said please.that undid him.he hated2 deny women." well arent u sweet. i couldnt believe it when she decided2have sex w/him.where did that come from? so wrong.so not romantic when they've known each other for like 2days.some1 needs2 tell authors that. "the sublime skills of a beautiful houri as he had in byzantium.the carcassian,perhaps,the 1 w/the flame-red hair,or the nubian who had trained as a gymnist &cud..." thats nice.he remembers his many conquests in vivid detail&can recall them in a moments notice.its like he has it to forever compare his wife w/.this is prime time romance rite here. "enough&enough again." wtf. hawk.falcon.raven.these people must luv birds. sum sentences n here dont make sense. like "an unfortunate caught between them wud have been crushed." the language in here is hard2 understand @times &there are quite a few gramatical errors. she said they were @the lodge4several days.then why did we only hear of 2nites? "she had betrayed him,with himself true enough but it was betrayal all the same." thanku! most authors dont address that. who bites their lip so hard it bleeds? modern things- huzzies. down2earth. at any rate. snatching at straws.you can change "grasping" to "snatching" but its still modern. this is weird-"looked off in2 the middle distance." idr cymbra's talent4 knowin ppls emotions.&how wud that gift make her figure out rycca's gift of knowin the truth? &isnt it a lil fantastical that all 3 guys got w/supernatural ppl? cymbra &wolf sound different2me.i hated it when they sailed back2their home.i rlly enjoyed their bk! &i love when characters from the 1st bk n the series come back n the other bks. a man gave a message2 the cornisher dressed as hawks men.gee,i think its magnus.how obvious. i know hes suspicious but i thought it rude wen dragon had magnus escort her back&she dint take his hand or acknowledge him. i knew she would use her gift for the boy said to be a thief.the whole thing reminded me of when cymbra was there when wolf dealt with someone and was gonna punish them. when he told us he loved her,i was like rlly?? lil too soon. i suspected magnus might be gay &it seemed like it even more when he said he wasnt gunna stop being second to him,but the characters nvr discussed it. just because magda says everyone is happy for her &the jarl,she says "she&every1 else,including the comely young women rycca had seen occasionally casting wistful looks in dragons direction, were glad of the marriage." how can magda speak for every single person in town? &it doesnt mean those girls arent jealous or mad.geez! i cant believe dragon actually thought rycca put the burrs in the saddle blanket. "merry fellow" was ok the 1st time.the 2nd and 3rd time it got old. rycca started out likeable &seemed conservative and shy but the 2nd she planned to have sex with him that all vanished &it was so uncharacteristic that she acted that way. &im not sure how she knows about everything involving sex.she had given no indication that she grew up in an environment where she saw people having sex&people were crude &everything. i have that sometimes they go to say somethin &they dont end up sayin it &talkin about things they should.she should have told dragon about magnus from the beginning.its irritating we had to wait the whole book for the truth to finally come out.&she nvr told dragon he felt from the beginning suspicious toward magnus.or about how scared she was when dragon almost died. communication,people! say it with me. cymbra stood trial before wolf&now rycca is before dragon.boy,shes reusing material. she copied Dream of Me enough but to have rycca go to the punishment post is copy to the max. sometimes in here the characters arrive at conclusions in an unrealistic way.like by magda bringing her food&blankets at the post,she realized dragon must have sent her2do it &that he was near the post.&she was calm cuz she knew dragon would find the truth.but that still doesnt change the fact that he thought you were guilty initially. the characters were a lil inconsistent in their personalities &actions in the beginning.like he was deeply hurt &mad that she had run away,intending to not marry him&ruin the alliance,& that she gave herself to him not knowing he was her fiance.but after the marriage he does an about-face. they start sleeping together no problem &teasing each other&acting like they like each other.also, she gave up on the freedom thing pretty fast.i mean for someone who craved freedom,&didnt wanna marry a viking,she did a 360. cant believe she didnt send word to her brother or that they didnt discuss his feelings about her running away or giving herself to her husband unknowingly when they're feelings were so raw about it in the beginning.i waited the whole book for him to say it hurt or angered him,but he didnt.major disappointment! romance authors usually tie up loose ends &always discuss things like that.so idk why she didnt. "skald-souled" & "skald-skilled" were words i didn't know. i assumed skald-souled meant drunk, but idk skald-skilled at all. dragon shared girls with magnus.thats disgusting. &why would the author have dragon fight naked?! i didnt like that at first it seemed like the only reason magda was bringing rycca blankets and food was because dragon made her. the magnus thing happened too fast.&we didnt get to hear the full extent of why he did it. also,idt it was necesary to kill him. i hate that dragon hasnt acted like he did in Dream of Me at all.granted,its been years since ive read it,but he sounded like a loud,bellowing,storyteller.&in here,he isnt loud and fearsome. rycca wasnt even mad or hurt that he thought she was guilty. i was disappointed that the author didnt have anyone laugh or comment on how dragon&rycca said they loved each other.because it was funny. i suspected she might be pregnant but rycca never mentioned she did too,&when she finally told us it was to say she had to find the right time to tell him. i love what hawk said about krysta having friends in high&low places.high like the ravens &low like the trolls.so cool! i absolutely loved when they came to help dragon.its the 1st time shes really used a supernatural element in her books &im wondering why because its really cool&her three female characters are supernatural! however,it lasted no time &the fight was over. what are wolf&dragons real names?i couldnt believe when i heard they werent there real names.has litton ever said what they are? i dont like that dragon ended up finding out about the baby,ruining her chance of telling him herself. overall,good book.i was disappointed about some things,and i didnt like it near as much as i did believe in me,but it was still good&ill probably buy it to go along with Dream of me/believe in me.
