Ending

[Mayo]

A Big Disappointment.Mostly because it hold so much potential.I hoped for more of an mutual understanding between the equals not the collar issued small talk and next ravish sex scene.What are your thoughts about the ending?

Disappointing after such a long book.
I guess they continued to see each other. I wonder if there is going to be a sequel.

Same, I was really hoping they at least say I love you to each other was my only regret. People are like really? not the gruesome killing and deaths that follow through, ehhh nope not really. My ending would have been that finally come to terms with loving each other. They have their wedding day and Yhalen's Mom the only one of his family shows up to the wedding, knowing full well that Yhalen is an out cast among their tribe, but she still wants to be there for his wedding day. Yahlen and Bloodraven get married among their family and friends. The first marriage throughout the lands of a human and a half oger ever getting married. They live happily ever after the end. I don't know I guess I like them happily ever after's in books that leave me feeling satisfied... >.<"

Omg, count me in too. I can't even believe there are other people who think like me here *feeling relieved*.
Honestly, after i finished Bloodraver i looked for other people's opinions because i couldn't fathom how everyone seemed so pleased with the book in their reviews and no one was talking about the end. I mean, i agree with them the plot is interesting and the world building, the writing style, the characters's profiles also pretty good, but that end there really ruines the mood.
It's like Bloodraven x Yhalen's relationship slows down and basically stops developing from a certain point onwards (and just when it should have reached its apex instead). And it's such a pity because otherwise the book whould have been amazing.

I can't understand why the author left so many threads open there; may it be because she's planning a book#2 about BxY? Still, it's been years already so i don't know.

O Flory, I understand the feels that you have. It felt like the ending was just so bland for me. It was like really no happily ever after or at the very least I love you? I'm like WTF is wrong with this book while everyone else was like it had too much gore. I'm over here raving about that there was no I love you moments throughout the book and I highly doubt the Author will bring Bloodraven x Yhalen back to us for more smexy moments lol... xD

[Flory]

I definitely agree. I could have even forgiven such an open end if the book had had a sequel out in few months / one year later at the most, or if the book had been shorter but since the book is basically a stand-alone and is also very long (that is, it dwells on many details -which i love but only if they don't take space for what's really important), i can't accept it.
And Bloodraven x Yhalen realtionship is the most disappoint from that end but it's not the only one: the author left vague and unexplored so many storylines there that i still feel bitter. Also i really didn't like that Elvardo x Yhalen's arc at all ;_;

Tchhh don't remind Elvardo and Yahlen are not ok in my book. I enjoyed the sex, but as a couple hell to the no. I enjoyed the sex, because it was funny that Yahlen kept thinking about that big dick of Bloodraven and how this guy penis doesn't satisfy his needs lmao... xDD

[Flory]

that, LOL.
still, maybe i would have enjoyed Elvardo and Yhalen's sex moments too if Yhalen hadn't already been emotionally committed to Bloodraven (and Bloodraven to him), but since he already was and also / especially since he was not even concious the first couple of times the sex with E. happened, i really can't find in me to like the sex there. In spite of how funny the author tried to make it, it was kind of disturbing imo.

So true, actually that was pretty creepy being raped when your out cold. I probably would have punched him in the face... >.<"

[Flory]

Idem! i almost always end up putting myself into the characters' situations (guess my life is boring, lol) and i was so upset after i realized Yhalen had been pratically violated again. I mean, he had already been through so much that i really couldn't believe that one more thing happened to him (what unfair a fate). that's why i seriously wished for (and expected) a harder reaction from him for once, at least after he regained consciousness and strength, but what does he do instead? nothing. and waht does happen instead? bath sex. *what*

i don't know what the author was thinking but i would seriously tear off the end of that book and rewrite it if i were her. she messed it up big time.

Same Flory, same, I put myself into the characters shoes all the time, but my life is a whole lot more interesting now that I finally have my very first boyfriend. My life is like this in the books I'm a gay male dating a guy in real life. Sooo, yeeah, just without the rape scenes pretty much, and more romance. Anyway not much we can do this with book after reading it. We can only hope the author brings Yahlen and Bloodraven back. There are plenty of other gay books to enjoy out there. This one wasn't all that great.

[Flory]

definitely agree with you! that just wasn't the book for us i suppose, or at least it wasn't the end we were hoping and wishing for. let's hope if a next one will ever be out it's better then the first indeed, otherwhise i can definitely do without the series and looking for a turmoil of (good) emotions in greener pastures: there are so many books we can chose from *_*
...and maybe with less rapes too, i've got my share of that for the year, lol. and i want romance now. at least you get that in real life i see, hehe <3

You have no idea and he makes me feel special. Took me 21 years of my life growing up, but boy he is worth it... <333
