@affectum || varen & ronan

the woods are quiet in that particular way dreams are. there is no sound, but there is a strange sort of static that runs through the air. you can't see her, but you know she can hear you. she is in the trees, the sky, on the very earth you stand on. her eyes burning into your skin. it's funny sort of prickling. like tiny needles gently kissing every inch of you. there was once a time when you longed for the feeling. those days, the sensation meant you were home. the only place where you could take a breath without wishing it was your last. something's different now, though. as you realize you are more a tool than an equal. stupid and unbelievably naive, really think you would ever be equal to a goddess. that she would ever want you to rule over the ashes of the world you helped to destroy by her side. how you wanted to believe her. how you the thought that you may for once be the one on top made the blood rush through your veins. you're sitting by a river, there's never been a river before, you've never been particularly fond of bodies of water. aesthetically, yes. but in practice they just make things muddy and difficult. it feels like a river kind of night, though. and you don't know whether something feels different because you yearn for change, or because there's something profoundly wrong with the dream tonight. but you know that she is not here and that's all you need. you are blessedly alone for once. not even the nocs, ghastly little demons they are, have come to disturb you yet. you're busy building a little rose patch at your feet when you hear it. footsteps. heavy and loud and nothing like that of the creatures that live in this forest or their mistress. you're up in a blink, squinting through the trees without making a sound. in your hand there is now a sturdy axe, strong enough to cut a grown man in half yet light as air. you're so startled by the sight you almost drop the axe and chop off your own goddamn foot. he's taller than you, which is saying something. he's also twice your size and you have no doubt that if it weren't for the weapon in your hand, he'd have no trouble folding you in half in about five to ten seconds. your eyes meet his and there's something almost electric. that's when you realize he is not one of hers. whoever this is, it's not a dream. real? since when has anyone real entered this realm since you became its prisoner? you suppose you were real once too, and so was edgar. maybe she got tired of the delays and the excuses and found another lost soul to do her bidding. cruel of her to bring him here while you're still trapped. she could give you back your life. do you really want it back, varen? you hear her voice in your head, silky and ravenous at once. she's still trying to draw you near even as she replaces you. and sweet god, you want her. you want her so badly it feels like it might consume you from the inside out. "you're a new one" you manage between gasps of air. you don't dare move. "what did she tell you? did she promise the life you always dreamed of? power beyond your wildest dreams? she's a liar, you know! nothing but an illusion."

My Favorite Book Characters

This is a post I’ve been meaning to write for a really long time but I just didn’t know when to do it. As I continue to update this blog, I’m also learning about so many different types of post and articles one can write when it comes to books. And it made me want to bring a variety to my blog—to change things up a little rather than putting out the same kind of posts every month. 

The characters in the books can really make or break the entire narrative and I wanted to share some of the characters which had a strong impact on me. This list is not an exhaustive one by any means and maybe in the future I’ll do a second or a third edition of this post. But for now, these are some of my favorite book characters. 

Charlotte Davidson 

First Grave on the Right by Darynda Jones

Charley Davidson is my ideal self. I strive to be like her but I’m not sure if I’ll ever quite manage to be like her in real life. She’s smart, funny, strong and independent. And best of all, she’s a detective which is my dream career by day and a grim reaper by night. So not only is she sassy but she’s kind and empathetic as well. 

Gavin Mecozzi

Fearscape by Nenia Campbell 

 Gavin is my all-time favorite anti-hero. He is freakishly intelligent and clever; a true Mastermind in the making and his obsession with Val literally makes me love him all the more. He’s a psychopath and therefore is supposed to be unlikeable but it just makes me love him more. 

Tess 

Written in Red by Anne Bishop

She is probably my favorite side character. Tess is a Harvester which we get to know much later in the series but I love how her hair changes color and texture based on her emotions. Not only that, but people fear Tess and when she unleashes her power towards the end of the series, I can understand exactly why people are afraid. But other than that, she’s incredibly loyal and hardworking and fights to protect her loved ones. 

Mia Corvere

Nevernight by Jay 

This character is badass, plain and simple. And the reason she’s on this list is because of her ability to craft poisons, which is something that intrigues me immensely. I wish I could be as strong and crafty as Mia is. And her skills with a knife are impeccable, which is another thing I love about her. 

Inej Ghafa 

Six of Crows by Leigh Bardugo 

She’s a Wrath. A Wrath! If somebody can make me a wrath, please let me know because I want to be as fierce and intense as Inej. Her skills as an acrobat are awe-inspiring and I wish I could do half the stuff she does. I would feel so much more accomplished and confident. 

Erik 

Phantom Heart by Kelly Creagh 

Erik is love. That’s all I can say about him. His tormented and loving personality has my heart. Not to mention the many Masks which are a part of his personality just adds to his allure. He is incredibly unique and I love the way he understands music. The way he’s so protective about the ones he love just makes me love him more. 

Varen Nethers 

Nevermore by Kelly Creagh 

This boy. This beautiful, tormented, lonely boy stole my heart the first time I read about him. I love his artistic skills and the connection he has with Edgar Allen Poe. Varen has a lot of demons he has to fight and throughout the series I just wish I could be the main character so I can help him face his demons. 

Holland

A Darker Shade of Magic by V. E. Schwab 

I think Holland is my favorite villain. There’s so much depth to his character. He’s ambitious yet he suffers. He is evil but there’s so much pain inside him that I couldn’t help but empathize with him. And he definitely deserved better. I think out of all the characters in the series, Holland was the one who deserved better. He really did. 

So these are some of my favorite book characters. There are plenty more but I could only mention a limited number and I would be writing about my other favorite characters in the future. Let me know if you’ve read about these characters and what you thought of them.

Nevermore by Kelly Creagh

So...is there a Nevermore fandom? You know like Varen and Isobel fics or fun drawings or anything? I need a fandom for this amazingness and I can't find it.

If you haven't read it then do so now so we can gush later. The lack of Fandom is killing me.

Much like books, Isobel could tell how voiceless things had provided a brand of companionship more compatible to Varen's nature than human friendship had ever been. These things, locked in their inanimate ways, fed him ideas, she thought. They whispered their tales to him through unmoving lips and he listened, opening himself to their world so much more than any normal passerby.

Oblivion (a Nevermore novel) by Kelly Craigh

Summary (supplied from GoodReads):   This electrifying conclusion to the Nevermore trilogy takes one last trip to the dream world of Edgar Allan Poe to reveal the intertwined fates of Isobel and Varen. The boundaries which divide Life from Death are at best shadowy and vague. Who shall say where the one ends, and where the other begins? —Edgar Allan Poe The fine line between life and death blurred long ago for Isobel Lanley. After a deadly confrontation with Varen in the dreamworld, she’s terrified to return to that desolate and dangerous place. But when her nightmares resume, bleeding into reality, she is left with no choice. Varen’s darkness is catching up to her. To everything. Threatening to devour it all. Isobel fears for her world. For her sanity and Varen’s—especially after a fresh and devastating loss. To make matters worse, the ghostly demon Lilith wants Varen for her own, and she will do anything to keep him in her grasp—anything. Can Isobel ever find her happy ending? Worlds collide and fates are sealed in this breathtaking finale to the Nevermore trilogy.

My Thoughts: Could this story melt whatever heard and soul I have more? This book...is right up there with Nevermore on the same pedistal. So beautiful it was.

That Pinfeathers think I mentioned in the last book review? Yeah...I had an emotional connection to him by this book. I see why he went the way he did, but I kind of wished we saw him a bit longer in the book. But, then again if he was still hanging around Varen wouldn’t have come to his senses the way that he did. 

Varen...oh you were the one that melted my soul the most. Even though we didn’t read through your perspective and through Isobel’s...oh how it was heartbreakign to see that you still thought se was dead...Why am I listening the Marianas Trench while reading this book and reviewing it?! First time I’ve heard this album by the band...and I’m on the Ghost song...oh good lord and lady (*coughs* sorry the Wiccan in me) this song goes so well with him...it makes me upset now....And I though Rhythm of Your Heart did...What is my life anymore?!

I wish that we saw more Gwen and Danny, but again I understand why we didn’t. In a way I think this book was making up for the last one in regards to giving us more time with Varen, and also with Isobel being so close to reaching him since it is the last novel of the trilogy. 

I still think the best scene in this one was when Varen finally realized that she wasn’t a dream, though he still though she was dead and he morphed the surroundings to like that beach scene that resembled the Poe Poem...

I actually liked seeing Varen interacting more with the Dream world, and not just him in his gloom state. Especially when he did want to get out of there and out of Lilith’s grasp on his mind. 

Speaking of Lilith...I feel like through out the story now that I think about it....as much as she terrified me...we could have been spending more time on her lore, and the like. But, then again we were probably only told what we as the audience needed to hear. I don’t it was just a thought regarding the world building...

Reynolds....Kelly I have to say it...as much as I love Isobel, Varen, Gwen, and Danny....I honestly think Reynolds was the best character in the whole story. The twists you put us through involving him were unreal. He’s the Snape of this series. Like you want to dislike him...truly dislike him at times...but then by the end of the book you truly love him... Though I do wish that were was a bit more time to explore him. But, again its probably that we the audience didn’t have to know. After all we were only told what Isobel was told, and even she by the end of the story was still a little puzzled. 

The end of the book.....a very love/hate relationship with the end of the book. I found it bittersweet...Its almost like the story wasn’t COMPLETELY ended. Especially with the epilogue. I mean we’re told a bit of why Varen had initially gone into his own mentality the way that he did. I’m feeling from all of the hints that his mother was the catalyst for this...he went to meet her 2 years after all this stuff happened....and yet...he couldn’t bring himself to approach her. I mean I get it...this happens in real life more often than not...but considering the paranormal/horror stuff that the series revolved around....I would have kind of liked to know why his mother left Mr. Nethers, but most of all leaving Varen too...Like did she know some of this stuff? She was just hinted at so much...like Varen’s attachment was a core element to the story lore...but there was nothing at the end...

Verdict: A very bitter sweet ending to this wonderful trilogy. You really do need to have patience with it. But, if you can supply that patience you will greatly be rewarded with this enriching story. Take note though that you should listen to Rythm of Your Heart when reading the scene of the Grim Facade in Nevermore, and Ghost while reading this book. Both songs are by Marianas Trench.
