why is religious Christmas imagery all so joyful and pleasant? where is the inherent horror of the birth of Christ? A mother is handed her newborn child, wailing and innocent. Her hands come away sticky. Red. Simply by giving her son life she has already killed him. He is doomed from the beginning. Her love will not save him from suffering. Because the thing cradled in her arms is not a baby, it is a sacrifice: born amongst the other bleating animals whose blood will one day be spilled in the name of what demands it. the night is silent with anticipation. Mary, did you know? That your womb was also a grave?

#instant conversation enders for my multiple youth pastor cousins #don’t say it (I’m gonna say it)#The Child is The Price #but i mean come on #as someone who isn't actually even christian the real-life historical version of this is still cursed as fuck #i mean we know that jesus was a person who existed. whatever circumstances he was born in #its terrifyingly ominous to imagine being so unaware of the affect your child will have on the future of humanity #time itself will one day be counted around your birth of him #and all because he will suffer an excruciatingly painful death that you will not be able to prevent #not only that. but regardless of his or your intentions #regardless of whether there is a god #for millenea unfathomable millions will have blood spilled and will spill blood in his name #atrocities will be committed that you cannot even conceive of #and all on his and your behalf #you love your child. its beautiful. but there's horror in what you've done. because everyone else will love him too #and what's more dangerous than that?

Born of Blood by Sherrilyn Kenyon

Series: The League: Nemesis Rising #11 Read time: <1 Day Rating: 4/5 Stars

The Quote: Right or wrong, she wasn't going to be what life kept trying to make her. Heartless. Bitter. Vindictive. You won't take my soul. I won't let you.. It was the only thing she had left. They'd stolen everything else from her long ago. Her childhood. Her innocence. Her sense of fair play. Her family. What was left? — Jayne Erixour

I'm going to be honest I'm a bit torn on this one. 🤨 I'm giving it 4 because I believe Jayne Erixour and Alexos Hadrian Vicarius Scalera deserved their own full length book. Through Jayne we could have got more detail on the founding of the Sentella, the seedlings of it are here and seen an entirely different race, Hyshian, that makes Desideria's Qillaq look almost egalitarian. In addition, I'm wondering if this is different from the history we've been told about them before. Don't get me wrong this is still a great book, it's Sherri and we finally got a story for Jayne but I was kinda hoping for more when we did get her story. Is that so wrong? 🤔 Especially when you look at what we got for Fain (Born of Betrayal) and Julian/Dagger (Born of Legend) and in the Hunterverse Maxis (Dragonbane) and upcoming Jaden (Shadows Within *epic grabby hands* for that one in particular, 🤩 look I know some of Jaden's story and I need more).

I like Jayne and Hadrian's story. We get to learn Jayne's background, what she wanted to be before she was forced into her life, her life secret (she's a Winged Batur 😲) and what makes her tick. Hadrian is so different to Nero, he feels more like Mari than Nero (not certain where that came from). Hadrian has an entirely different set of strengths than his older brother, his are passive and more defensive. This is the first time we've spent any real time with a Trisani unfortunately there is no real lore introduced, we did, however, get introduced to the Clusas a group of Trisani immune to the mindreading abilities and the concept varying levels of power. We are shown Gauduley "the Trisani term for when one was so attracted to another that they lost control of their power." (p.111). I want to see that played out in all its glory, especially given we know Nero is so powerful.

Through Nero, Hadrian is almost disturbingly well connected. Interestingly Nyk is connected to them both. The plot is not dissimilar to many of the others, there is no damsel in distress but Jayne is not what you expect. The twist she faces is she signed a warrant for a simple retrieval that gets turned into a spill-kill. It was actually quite nice to see the old language back it's been a while since we were using assassin speak, a spill-kill is a kill with torture first. A rarity that Jinx calls out.

Let me add some random quotes and comments. • Important to the story in a way is Eve of Destruction is Jayne's older sister, older by 7 years. She is already in command of a unit at 21 in the prologue. • Hadrian's endearment from Jayne is Suāva Trisani for sweetie. I always like knowing what they are, some of them have been fantastic. No one has yet beaten Hauk's for Sumi. • "Nero know?" "Above his paygrade." Syn snorted. "Nothing is above his paygrade where you're concerned. You trying to get us killed?" "I'm trusting you on this." That garnered a full laugh. "I don't keep secrets from your brother. I can't." "Yeah... he's a massive pain in the ass that way. Can you at least avoid him for a bit?" Syn Scratched at his check. "Can try. But like you, he has a nasty way of tracking me down." — Syn legit can't keep secrets from Nero, it's the telepathy thing. Even if Syn's mind is a lot scrambled when he's sober. This whole book is essentially Hadrian finally proving to Nero that he isn't that toddler Nero saved anymore, he can hold his own. (C.S. Syn and Hadrian, p.53) • We get to meet another Schvardan (the land-based Phrixians), like Morra from Born of Legend. It was nice to meet Moradcity. • "No. No! Bad idea. Why would you leave good alcohol to go chasing down someone your brother will find first?" "Personal satisfaction." Syn scoffed. "Overrated," "The curiosity," "Stupid reason." Syn rolled his eyes. "Besides you know what they say." "Curiosity is the foundation of science?" Syn let out a pain-filled noise. "Damn you Tris origins. Y'all take the fun out of everything." — Syn and Hadrian are great. This is Syn in his functioning alcoholic stage. The good alcohol is a bottle of Tondarian Fire because only the top shelf when you are this screwed. But one thing that comes out in this is part of the reason for the Trisani holocaust, the others around them wanted to claim their technological advancements. And they are to thank for so many. (C.S. Syn and Hadrian, p.75) • This has one of the better and simplest explanations of the Tavali I've read. I never knew their origins. But I'm guessing more of that will come out in Born of Trouble, Ryn and Mack's story. • We've actually met Jayne's son as an adult which I had no idea of. Sway runs as C.I. Syn and Shahara Dagan's son, Devyn Kell's second in command in Born of Ice. Go look up Claire she is a total badass and I remember her.

The League (book 12): Born of Blood by Sherrilyn Kenyon

Jayne Erixour believes she knows everything about the universe. As a bounty hunter and assassin, she's seen the worst dregs of humanity and every sentient species ever spat out of a hell realm. To her, there is no truth outside of her blaster’s recoil and her resolve to let no one get too close.

Hadrian Scalera is on the run from the same brutal assassins who slaughtered every member of his family, both birth and foster. He has no refuge and no one he dares to call friend, as it will mean the end of them. He expects no mercy from anyone, until the day one assassin hesitates to pull the trigger.

An assassin’s code is simple: Kill or be killed. No prey, no pay. Every life has a price.

If Jayne doesn’t fulfill her contract and kill Hadrian, she’ll be the next target on the League’s menu. But as old enemies return to hunt them both, they quickly learn that neither will survive unless they can learn to trust each other. Yet things are never so simple and survival means only one of them can be left standing . . .

My Review: 5/5 Stars

Been waiting a long time to get the origin story of Jayne and Hadrian and it is finally here! This story takes us way back to the early days of so many characters we know and love. Before they were even close to being the people we know them as. Jayne and Hadrian are so young here. And their sweet short story is very typical of all involved. Jayne and Hadrian meet when she is sent out to bring him in. However, nothing quite adds up. The family claiming to want Hadrian are all dead except for Nero after their family and empire were wiped out. So who exactly is after Hadrian? And how does everything connect? Because we learn about a lot of family ties in this one along with how certain people know others and how their group in the future ties together. A lot starts here and I love it. Loved seeing familiar faces and we got some new ones who I am super curious about. I'm also curious to see if we get more of Jayne's family in the future books yet to come. They are pretty quiet in the series but not so much here. Would love to get everyone together. Jayne is always hysterical and bad ass. It's nice to see other sides of her and how she ended up with Hadrian. Hadrian has always been quiet in the series but getting his point of view and seeing how he got together with Jayne. Things make a lot more sense now. Loved those two characters and love this world. Can't wait until we get more!

I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

A woman would call the most well articulated essay you've ever read a "ramble" while a man would call his shittyreddit post an "intellectual thinkpiece"

#humility is a woman's enemy #So sad that women so often undermine their intellectual capabilities #Be confident in yourself ladies!!!#You are worthy just because you were born #No reason whatsover #You are your own person with so many good qualities #Be positive #Even if your blood group is not #radblr #radical feminists do touch #radical feminist safe #radical feminists please touch #radical feminists do interact #terfsafe #radical feminism #trans exclusionary radical feminist
