nobody understands mircea like me I guess :P

[Somnium]

i really like both Mircea and Pritkin. My preference varies on a pretty regular basis - at the moment i'm leaning towards Pritkin.

I think that's what put me off Mircea - that and his resemblance to another character from another serie..."

I just ordered the Dorinaa books, so is there a lot of Mircea in them?

You are definitely not alone. I love Pritkin, don't get me wrong, but I love Mircea more. It is just something about that damn vampire!!!

[Somnium]

Rosezetta, Mircea is sufficiently featured in the Dory books. :)

[Leah]

I like them both, but I support Mircea for Cassie over Pritkin. There's just something about that damn vampire!! XD I know Mircea has the faults that come with being an old vampire and a politician, but he's learning. We saw that in HtM.

Who knows, though? She may end up with Pritkin for a while, but it's hard for me to envision. Mircea has always been the one she loves, ever since she was a child, and he loves her. But with her ever-growing power, there's a chance she could end up without either of them in the very end. So many possiblities!

[Somnium]

oh, i'm voting cloning device too - i mean Pritkin is half human so if we had only one of him would have to sleep at some point :O cloning => more individual Pritkin time and possibilities in bed...

@Leah: ahh, i know what you mean there - i think Pritkin might be better for Cassie than Mircea what with all the lack of manipulation there, but I must admit, I can't seem to manage imagining Cassie and Pritkin together in a relationship different to the one they have now. I mean, I can't really imagine them dating. But with Mircea, I can picture that a lot better. Although that's probably just because we've seen it already with Mircea and not with Pritkin, and my imagination is limited. Maybe I'll change my mind if we ever see it happen...

[Leah]

@Somnium: Exactly. I've always considered Pritkin to be the BFF........with the occasional, necessary, life-or-death-situation benefit. =P But who knows what Ms. Chance has up her evil sleeve? XD

[♥ Ashleigh ♥]

i would love for karen to write a scene of cassie and pritkin out for dinner at a nice restaurant that would be hilarious - both of them dont really fit that expensive restaurant scene so everyone else would prob stare at them :D

[Sarah ♥ dog crazy ♥ , Mircea's Moderatrix]

I'm a huge Mircea fan but I don't want Cassie to end up with him. I think the love between them is not romantic love and sooner or later one of them or both will realize this. I know they have sex and all but... I don't know... Them knowing each other since she was a kid makes it all weird for me. I also think for her it's more a feeling of being protected.

I'm not sure about her and Prtikin either. Maybe we have to see them dating so that I can imagine them together.

But to be honest, I want her with none of them. This would be a surprising end!

[♥ Ashleigh ♥]

maybe jonas's dreams will come true and'll end up dating a were, lol.

[Leah]

Sarah wrote: "But to be honest, I want her with none of them. This would be a surprising end!"

I think that is a major possibility! With her Pythia power becoming stronger, neither dude may be able to keep her. But I do disagree about Cassie and Mircea not loving each other romantically. I honestly think they do. :]

Maybe she will end up with a were! That would make Jonas so happy loll.

*starts jumping up and down widely to rock the ship*

[♥ Ashleigh ♥]

haha im with you chickie-babes and jumping on pritkins ship ;)

[Aori]

I am another Mircea fan :) But the way the series is going , it seems like Pritkin looks like the choice.
I think Mircea is changing and Cassie is "rocking his boat" and making his life unexpected, uncontrollable, and fun.

[Somnium]

I really do hope Mircea can change for Cassie. I'd love him if he can, but otherwise i'd have to choose Pritkin instead...

[Dominique]

Team Mircea all the way! The man has been alive for thousands of years and is pretty much used to doing it his way. He has a boatload of responsibilities and any decisions he makes has untold repercussions on those around him. Then some little girl he kinda raised wants to tell him how to behave just because she grew up (and filled out) nicely and is getting some supernatural powers?
Give the man a break. He is trying really hard and Cassie doesn't give him enough credit. So he may have a little trouble being as nice as you want him to or remembering that you are getting your own power and he doesn't have to protect you as much anymore what with his job, and his vampire followers, and rescuing both you and his actual daughter from the messes you always seem to get into.

It annoys me sometimes when the heroines in these books whine about how dark and complicated their men are. Here's a tip, sister. Don't date a thousands year old master vampire (or alpha werewolf, or demon king). Just saying... they may have issues. Look for a nice dentist instead.
This is why I love the relationship between Elena and Raphael in the Guild Hunter series.

The character "Mircea" is based on the real life Mircea II of Wallachia, who was born in 1428. That makes him 583 years, which is not "thousands of years" as you wrote. Age aside, he is still used to getting his own way as you said. First as an officer and a member of the royal family of Wallachia (later a part of Romania) and then as a powerful vampire without a sire to boss him around.

[Somnium]

very true. alright, alright, i'll try to cut Mircea a break. he is old, and we shouldn't expect immediate changes. it just made me so sad when Mircea locked Cassie outside during her coronation. i understand why he did it, but i certainly didn't like it. i'm still pretty torn on the whole issue of Mircea. i both love and hate him simultaneously - which certainly keeps him an interesting character ;D

though you do have to feel a little sorry for Mircea, having to stress over both Dory and Cassie and trying to keep them alive - can't say i envy him on that one ^_^

[Shreya]

OMG! She's Artemis' daugher, that's Greek Mythology which states Artemis deep hatred for men and penchant for running around with her virgin huntresses. I loved the book. I can't wait for the next one.

oh stella! :D I thought exactly like this. TALK SİSTER! :D btw I adore elena and raphael. Nalini actually loves her characters, cassie hates mircea !

[Sue]

HtM put me solidly in rhe Pritkin camp. When the seies began Pritkin truly disliked Cassie, but he has allowed his opinion to be changed by seeing who she really is, including her unswerving moral compass. Mircea, on the other hand, seems to see her exactly the same way as he did when she was in Tony's court as a child. Interesting and potentially very useful for all of her power. In fact, I think he finds her understanding of what is right and wrong to be inconvenient. I don't think there is a future with Mircea for the partnership of respect between equals that Cassie wants (and deserves).

[Michelle]

Hi, thanks for the invite to the group. I'm new to Goodreads, so still getting used to the place :).

I have to agree with Sue. I've been feeling that way about Mircea for the longest time--that he doesn't see Cassie as his equal and it's probably impossible for him to do so, both because he is a master vampire and because he knew her as a child.

Pritkin, on the other hand, has had the opportunity to get to know Cassie and vice versa without any prior history as baggage. I think Cassie appreciates their equal footing as compared to Mircea's prejudiced view of her.

I like Mircea, but because he treats Cassie as a precious object and not her own person, I have to root for a Cassie/Pritkin relationship.

[♥ Ashleigh ♥]

i also agree with Sue and Michelle!
but then everyone knows my opinion by now, lol.

[Denise Ky (ramblingoutloud)]

I have to say that Pritkin has had my heart since the very beginning. Ever since he tried to kill Cassie in the first book, I've known they were destined for each other... Okay, wierd, I know. But I like his roughness and how he at the at the same time care about Cassie, even though he rarley wants to admit it.
Pritkin all the way! :)

You can find two deleted scenes from HtM on KC's website.

[Somnium]

OH DEAR GOD! Just read the first HtM chapter - why in the love of GOD did they have to take that out? It's fantastic!!!

[Sarah ♥ dog crazy ♥ , Mircea's Moderatrix]

I agree, Somnium.

I love Cassie's bodyguards.

[Valerie ~ Val Hall ~]

I agree, it was...sweet.

[♥ Ashleigh ♥]

that was FANTASTIC!

im really glad chance posted the deleted chapters - it would of been sad if we completely missed out on those!
Chance is such an amazing writer

[Somnium]

ah, she is. i love the appearance of the 'take-charge Cassie who's seen again at the end of the novel'. that bit with Jules is hilarious! i love it when Cassie suddenly turns badass! the bit with Caleb is too when Cassie explains some of the stuff she's been up to - although i'd hate to have missed the bit where Caleb figure out who Pritkin really is - that was even more fantastic ^_^

[Valerie ~ Val Hall ~]

The part about Caleb figuring out Pritkin was precious. I'm just wondering how KC will bring up Tomas since the scene was cut. It bugged me when I read the book, nothing was mentioned as I recall.

[Somnium]

yeah, the bit about Tomas in there was a nice little update - although i was a bit confused about why the senate would even consider pardoning him - he did betray them O_o

[Valerie ~ Val Hall ~]

That rub me wrong too. I guess that with the war going on, you need all the able bodies you can get. With LC carefully ordering him around....he could be 'managed'?

I assumed it was in exchange for Cassie's handy support, though she must be having a hard time convincing them.

The Cassie& Bodyguards scene can be decribed with 2 words: fucking awesome!!

[Francis Rose]

I am I a total TEAM PRITKIN member. I love him and enjoy the thought and hope that he will end up with Cassie. Mircea, though he MAY have good intentions, is totally not what Cassie needs. Pritken is. And Pritkin needs Cassie.

Anyway. I was surprised at the whole daughter of Artemis thing too. Totally caught be unaware. I can't wait for the next book where hopefully we'll find out more about the father too. But then again we probably won't. It took us this long to find out about her mom.

I'm more excited about her trip to Hel. I would love to see what happens with Pritkin and Cassie in Hel, pressumably mostly taking place in the territory where the Incubi are. I can't stop grinnin' just thinking about it.

When Pritkin saved Cassie at the end I cried and yelled at Pritkin and cried somemore. When she leaves to go save Pritkin I was saying "damn right", "go girl". I felt like I was ready to go with her as her cheerleader.

And like always I loved the action scenes. I wish I could write actions scenes like her. They play like a movie in my head and Cassie is the biggest trooper, she is always fighting through, taking on the big dogs, and getting back up and saying fuck you.

[♥ Ashleigh ♥]

lol i felt the exact same way when i was reading HtM :D

[Somnium]

you know, shockingly enough, i actually slightly saw Cassie's mother being Artemis coming - well, not really saw it coming. I just had this silly little theory in my head that she was, which i was completely and utterly sure wasn't going to be remotely true - so i was still completely shocked when it was revealed Cassie was half god!

[Valerie ~ Val Hall ~]

Quite a dysfunctional family Cassie had...like any good God family drama.

[Francis Rose]

I didn't expect it but I gotta say I was wondering why she didn't die all the times that she got ridiculously close. I should've saw it coming though because somewhere, I think so at least, one of the half gods said he could feel all the pain but still wouldn't die. It makes sense now.

[Enjee, Founder]

*ahem*
Do vampires pee?
I ask because in HtM Cassie's vampire guards were consuming mass quantities of beer, yet they did not use the bathrooms...which is why they missed the bathroom phone that Cassie eventually used to contact Pritkin and plan her escape from the hotel suite.
Inquiring minds want to know...
