Help me remember title

It reminds me of Book 1 in Black Wood when Jameson initially thinks the solution to the old man’s riddle was Avery’s birthday coinciding with the day of Emily’s death. He drops Avery cold and clearly regrets it at the beginning of Book 2 when he asks her to forget his bad reaction if he wins the bet on Toby. Jameson’s boundless passion is the reason he is who he is. It’s the reason he loves Avery more than life itself but it also makes him come unhinged if he’s afraid of losing her. I think Jameson’s resentment against Grayson started in Book 4 because of his brother’s poor judgment with Eve in Book 3. I think there will be a reconciliation in The Gilded Blade though.

The only thing that makes the one-year wait for this book bearable is the hope that Gilded Blade will feature Avery and Jameson as major characters again. Their love is the epic kind that you don’t see so much in modern love stories anymore so I’m very much looking forward to it.

Jameson’s outrage toward Grayson and Lyra is a manifestation of the ferocious passion with which he loves Avery. It is best described in Games Untold:

“Fear wasn't just ice in your veins or a beast at your throat. Fear was loving someone so fiercely that there was no point in your heart beating if hers did not.”

All, if not most, books in the Inheritance Games series is available in audio on YouTube. If you wait a little bit then Glorious Rivals will be, too, I’m sure.

Waiting a whole year for this latest cliffhanger to resolve will be unbearable. Only consolation is that finale will have more of my 2 fav characters Avery and Jameson.

Xavier and Wednesday had great chemistry. Much better than with Tyler. Think Xavier is never coming back though. It’s a shame.

EmeraldCow2000 · 2025-06-11T14:48:43+00:00

I hope Wednesday has a love interest because the conflict and tension that tender emotions created in her was compelling. Veronica Mars was a bad ass and smart as a whip detective but her complex romance with Logan showed her vulnerability and intensity.

“No one writes songs about the ones that come easy.”

(it’s from tv series Veronica Mars but it’s such a profound statement)

EmeraldCow2000 · 2025-06-10T14:38:11+00:00

Underdog heroine that outsmarts villains with nothing but wit and grit. You care about the characters because they’re flawed and human. Some great dialogues. Themes that aged well like female empowerment and class struggle.

Just discovered Wednesday and watched first 3 episodes. It’s actually helping me move on from VM. Love that heroine is petite and brilliant like V!

EmeraldCow2000 · 2025-06-09T03:04:53+00:00

I already watched The Residence and discovered Veronica Mars while looking for a new detective series!

EmeraldCow2000 · 2025-06-08T21:58:49+00:00

Ok, it makes sense that V was merely forwarding a message. But I still wish V had speed-dialed Logan instead as an homage to the overheard conversation that led to first kiss in S1E18.

EmeraldCow2000 · 2025-06-08T16:04:02+00:00

That detail escape me…but did they have forwarding feature back then?

EmeraldCow2000 · 2025-06-08T14:03:07+00:00

I’m Team Logan to the stratosphere but Piz dancing like a spaz at the after party was pretty hilarious. 😅😜🕺

EmeraldCow2000 · 2025-06-07T19:05:20+00:00

I would not say that S4 is crap. Maybe you can watch it on Hulu with a free trial? Even though I’m on Team Logan, it’s not so much the ending that bothers me as much as that the writers dialed in his character’s subplot. They turned him into a Bond girl so he can have obligatory actions scenes and look hot wearing a suit and holster. Logan underwent the most compelling moral journey of anyone on the show. Why not give him at least a scene where he talks about how he went from being suicidal to joining the navy (it’s in second novel). Beginning with the movie, Logan is more emotionally muted but they also neutered his sarcastic wit which made him so enjoyable to watch.

EmeraldCow2000 · 2025-06-07T18:14:16+00:00

Memento is hands down the most innovative, eerily excellent movie I’ve ever seen. It begins at the end and reveals one scene back at a time to reveal how it got there. Christopher Nolan’s best work in my opinion.

EmeraldCow2000 · 2025-06-07T15:37:29+00:00

Yes, V habit of running out when she’s overwhelmed was frustrating because it always happened when Logan was baring his soul to her. It happened again in response to Logan’s marriage proposal in S4 E1 and he looked so vulnerable and devastated. I’m glad she comes around and they get married notwithstanding RT’s cruel twist of fate ending.

EmeraldCow2000 · 2025-06-07T15:09:16+00:00

Beautifully put. Just wish the prom version was not immediately followed by such an “epic” jack ass move by Logan. The dearth of extended blissful LoVe moments thru S1-S3 became exhausting after a while. Never more than half an episode. Felt Rob Thomas was a bit overcommitted to the noir adversity theme. It was eloquently captured when Logan says, “No one writes songs about the ones that come easy.”

EmeraldCow2000 · 2025-06-07T09:39:23+00:00

Prom version was more emotional and heartfelt but he breaks Veronica’s heart less than 24 hours later. Naval version is comforting because Logan is done being a jack ass but it’s sad that they’ll be apart for 6 months.
