“Boy, don´t you dare insult me with that shit. They can kiss my furry wolf ass, which is exactly what Aimee would skin alive if I dared let them have you. I don´t give up family. Well, they could have Fury. Im not that attached to him. But they would only keep him till he opened his mouth, then launch his ass back to me with a catapult. He is like a bad boomerang that way.” - Fang

“Call me Ash. It´s easier and takes a lot less time.” “Nick Gautier. Now what are you again?” “He is the best friend you´ll ever make or your last enemy.” - Acheron, Nick, Kyrian

We who are born to end the world, are the only hope there is for saving it. - Nick/Ambrose

My Review: 5/5 Stars

Such a fantastic book! Definitely one of my favorites of the series. We've been waiting a long time to get Urian's book. And one that I realized while reading it was that you don't know Urian as well as you may think you do. Urian has been in the series since pretty early on. He has appeared countless times. We've seen him at some of his lowest and highest moments. We've seen him learn the truth of who he is. But when I started Stygian and it took us to the days of his childhood, I realized we know absolutely nothing about him. Not really. His life before we meet him in Kiss of the Night, was a lot different.  We finally see what he was like with his siblings and with Stryker as his father. We see how he became who is he. His story was both heartbreaking and beautiful. Urian is such a stronger character. One who had was set apart from his family and never really understood why. His journey was one that went over 11,000 years and every moment he fought to be a protector of those he loved. And despite what life threw at him, no matter how horrible, he got back up. 

And sorry, some spoilers if you haven't read the series, but seriously you should not start this book until you have read everything before it!! I was worried about how Phoebe and Sarraxyn would play into his life. I knew from previous hints from the author that Urian's love interest would by Xyn, but with the surprise of Phoebe appearing, I didn't understand how that would make sense. How could Urian love someone else only after a handful of years after Phoebe's so called death? From the Urian we had seen, he was devoted to only Phoebe. For those, who are worried about all of this going to be messy and poorly written and explained, let me tell you Kenyon does not let you down. She tells the story so well that I wasn't left saying, "well that makes no sense" or "that was so rushed!" Nope. Not at all. I appreciated how she went about it. Turns out (and again spoiler!!), Urian and Xyn had met before. In the very first few years of his existence. And their friendship and eventual love is show throughout his life up until the moment she disappears. Which if you have read Dragonsworn we know what happened to her. And though she isn't mentioned out loud by Urian, he is constantly in his thoughts. And as for Phoebe and Urian's relationship, we finally get a good look at them from their point of view. And again, I was happy with what I saw and how it was handled after Phoebe's "death". 

IT COMES WITH A SPEEDPAINT!

Ahhhhhhh.... My friend and I just started to write these two into a little story things we’re doing for fun... I miss drawing Urian and Beltran. I really do. Even if I forget Beltran has scars all over his body... (Forget it, he can cover them.)

Anyway, early for pride month, but these two are just the best. 

Note: Beltran and Urian are fan characters for AnE, a sort of next-gen. Beltran is the son of Mephisto and Lilith, while Urian is the son of the ice queen.
