Just got my ARC

Hm, dunno if you did that, but: If you want to buy the USA-version, you have to visit Amazon.com not Amazon.uk.co (or is it co.uk? xD). It should work, then.

I can't give you a spoiler if you don't have a question or any specifics in mind, because as I said, there is nothing I can come up with anymore. :/ Got anything?

okay, I'll throw out some totally random questions:
Do we get a more accurate physical descriptions for both Hawke & Sienna? Does Hawke's wardrobe vary from the usual jeans and tee he normally sports? And judging by some reviews, there's plenty of sexual tension but not enough of the actual sexy loving scenes between H & S - do you think there was enough? Also, was Hawke's almost 'date' a changeling as well?

Oooh, I'll add one - do we find out if Judd & Walker are full siblings or about their childhoods?

Omg, okay..

Do we get a more accurate physical descriptions for both Hawke & Sienna?

- A little bit more than before, but I still don't have a perfect Sienna or Hawke image in my mind, which is a weird thing to happen b/c I usually always have at least a vague idea of the characters I read about.

Does Hawke's wardrobe vary from the usual jeans and tee he normally sports?

- Well, we do get Hawke all fancied up. :>

And judging by some reviews, there's plenty of sexual tension but not enough of the actual sexy loving scenes between H & S - do you think there was enough?

- Yes, I think there was enough. Although, as I mentioned before, there was too little relationship-time for them. They had sex/sth close to that or they fought, but that was it.

Also, was Hawke's almost 'date' a changeling as well?

- Yep, she was. And frankly, I like her. Hopefully she'll get a story, too. I'd like to see her interact with Sienna.

Do we find out if Judd & Walker are full siblings or about their childhoods?

Oh fuck, I am not sure if I'm confusing Sienna and Toby with the 1st Lauren-generation, but I think they were full siblings. Wait.. someone said something like "Yo, we lived together the whole time... And the same parents.. And age gap between each other.." But as I said, I'm not sure about it. Someone else? Oh that sucks, I was actually paying more attention to those parts than I did to more obvious ones (-evil grin-).. Hm, it's 4:23 am, what shall I say..

We got over 16.000 views! o.o

Wow. Hm, do you think more folks would have joined the board if this topic had been invisible for guests? :>

Most likely. It would be 16000 members if it had.

Rofl, next year we have to make this invisible, rofl. :DD
.. Oh my God.. Next year.. I won't get an ARC then.. Fuck.
Oh.. FUCK!!

FUUUUUUUCK.

-cries-
-runs to Nalini Singh-
-beggin her to give all of us an ARC-
-points out how pathetic most of us are-
-fails because this conversation doesn't really happen-
-cries some more-

On Nalini's site today she said she is writing Galen and Jessamy's story and while I really like the Guild Hunter series (just reread it in fact) I would really like to know which Psy/Changelings she has on the horizon because I LOVE them!!!
Where did all the spoiler people go? Patricia you need your ARC back!!! We are dying here. It is getting closer...but still oh so far away

Hiya thanks for the answers Patricia anyway I am going to try and not request anymore spoilers as not long to go now and I have the new Sookie Stackhouse book to keep me busy at least for a couple of days!!!

Thanks, Ms. Patricia! One last question (although it has a few parts to it): why do you want Hawke's almost date to interact with Sienna? Is she a Snowdancer, too?

Do we learn who designed the drawings on the walls of the den? Sascha mentioned them and Sienna later too.

Kyley, I'm just wondering how Sienna'd react to it. I mean, she knows Hawke's no virgin (ha, that'd be sooo good. Hawke as a virgin, oh my..) but to see someone he might have had sex with?

And yeees! *_* Hawke and Sienna talk about that. It was honestly one of my fav scenes, especially b/c the person who designed them is very important to Hawke and (her/his) story is cute.

Oh, breaking news, haha: PoP will be released in March '12 in Germany. Title is "Wilde Glut".

Does "Wilde Glut" give off the same feeling as "Play of Passion"?

Lol Wilde Glut cool name makes me think of food though! Anyway girls if you are looking for something to fill the void between now and 31 May read Dragon Bound by Thea Harrison I loved it one of my faves for this year it was recommended by Nalini on her blog yesterday. The male lead is more alpha male than Rapheal but I just loved it a great new author to add to my list I am even more excited about the next book!!!!

New review!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes Miss Ria, I am also quiet with the new Leopard people book AND the new Sookie Stackhouse novel -Can't wait for True Blood Season 4 in June also!!! Yippee!!

Wilde Glut?! Does that even translate to PoP?

I'm trying to stay quiet, but it's not due to any book. My mind can't seem to wrap around anything that's not KoS.

Another quote for you guys:

Spoiler:

Sorry for my long absence here, I have so much to do for university at the moment

Ooh! Walker quote!

Having finals, Serena?

Nina wrote:Ooh! Walker quote!

Having finals, Serena?

Aaaaaaaaaah, Serena thank you although I just have no idea who Walker is from the previous novels - I mean his character, I just think of him as 'the older brother' - so it will be interesting to get to know him in KOS. Can you tell me, did Sienna grow up in 'silence', obviously her mother was 'broken' as she had feelings etc and did any of this impact on Sienna's 'conditioning' as a child? Does KOS go into this aspect of her childhood? xx Sorry for the interrogation!

Kyley, no it doesn't translate into Pop.

That'd be "Spiel der Leidenschaft" or something like that.

Wilde Glut..

Wild is the adj. here and although it can be translated into agrestal (hahaha) or barbarous (not so haha) I guess the best translation'd be fierce .. but in a passionate (impassioned?) way. (Pronounciation of "Wilde")

Glut is the subj. and hm, I guess the best translation'd be blaze or glow.

Hope everyone had a lovely long Easter break.

Thanks for the quote Serena! Its been a bit of a dry spell of late...

No, not finals. In Austria the semester ends in July, so I've got time. But I have to write a lot of papers this time and if I wouldn't be doing it now, I would run out of time at the end of the semester since I also have to study for the finals.

Patricia, translating is somewhat funny isn't it? It's funny how words can function totally different

Hi everyone!

*Another stalker joins the forum*

I've been stalking this thread for a while because of all the spoilers and was getting a little frustrated when you guys stopped posting one. Thanks Serena! I can go through the next few days now. :-p

I have a question for the ARC holders: Because Hawkes first mate has passed away does he get extra protective of Sienna because he fears losing her after they're mated and what impact does this have on their relationshiop? (If any)

caitikins: I also didn't know much about Walker from the previous novels and I was very courious about him. We get a lot of insights in Walker and the whole Lauren family and how they are tied to each other, even under Silence. We also learn about Kristine, Sienna and Tobys mother. Kristine had a huge impact on Sienna, but in a different way. I will tell you this: Kristine could have handed Sienna over to Ming and abandon her parental rights. That's what Ming wanted. But Kristine didn't.
