WIJFR: Siege and Storm (SP)
Ahhhhhh!
Ok, so there's a lot in my head right now, but I will try to sort it out as I go.
#1. I love Nikolai. I know, I should be rooting for Mal, but I just can't. I think there's merit in what the Darkling said. Mal and Alina just aren't compatible romantically. But Nikolai? Swoon.
#2. Those freaking shadow creatures are scary as hell.
#3. Self-sacrificing Alina using the Darkling's powers to kill him (and her)...totally kick ass.
#4. That last scene where she's in her self titled tomb really bothered me. She was in such a position of weakness, that her last thoughts didn't ring true. Maybe I'm just over thinking it, but she just went on this whole monologue about how it's more convenient to be a dead martyr than a living saint and all that, and then she wants vengeance? Idk, I wanted more strength from her before such a bold statement.
Such a great series.

#1. I love Nikolai too! I am rooting for both of them.
Alina and Mal may not be compatible romantically but maybe they will be compatible as amplifiers. What if he's the firebird?
June is so far away!!!

I think Mal and Alina WILL be compatible when Mal figures out his powers. That's the whole rift between them - he doesn't understand her connection to her power, but I'm POSITIVE that if Mal isn't actually the firebird, he's going to discover some sort of amazing power and then everything will fall into place for them.
Leaving Nikolai available for me ::swoon:: you know, if he's not dead.

I agree with the Darkling love. I know the Darkling is bad, but I have to constantly remind myself of that whenever he enters a scene. Bad Darkling, Bad.
My Badges:
Yes. I really REALLY do. I don't think his time with us is over.
I hate to say this but I think I agree with @84Lauren. Sorry @booneybear.
He's a loved character and the masses would hate to see him go. However, in my mind, he's the obvious choice- espeically if Mal is going to be the firebird. hehe

I'm sure the author would want to bring out emotion from her readers and that would be a for sure way to do it.
Hey I don't want it to happen either but I'm a realist in my theories.

I would rather pluck out my eyeballs with tweezers then read Outlander. I have tried it many times and it just isn't for me.
The jury is out on how the mafia and I are still good friends.

Sigh. The only allowances I will give are that #1 She's overly descriptive. I remember thinking "oh my God, I don't care how each leaf looks!" and #2 the slang is hard to get into for some people.
