What are your theories for Spirit Bound?

but now she will be in the same place as rose, and he could lead some other strigoi to her?
and im just saying - but rose has rescued lissa enough.
i think this time lissa will somehow save rose.

True, he might be more concerned with Lissa now that Rose is around her.

If Lissa's way of resucing Rose is through Spirit then I don't want it to happen.

Haha me either!! She's such a pain just having Spirit to begin with.

But I like that Rose doesn't need much saving. I guess it's good for her that sometimes she *needs* to be saved, but she doesn't like it when it happens. She doesn't like not being in control of her situation. Like when those boys were beating up on her in book 1 and Mason came to her rescue, she hated that he had to come save her. And I don't think it was *just* because he was a boy and she was the girl in trouble.

I would like for Lissa to be able save Rose too, but at the same time, it wouldn't be true Rose style.

Sometimes I'm such a Spirit hater

But true, Rose doesn't like being saved at all. I think Lissa's form of "rescue" for Rose will be by being there for her, being open to how she's feeling. She'll be the emotion support. But Physically we all know Rose doesn't want to be saved.

Without Spirit ther'd be no Shadow-Kissed Rose at all! Heck!, there'd be no ROSE!

I know that, but it still seems to be the cause AND solution for too many things. It'd be better if it wasn't used so often. I mean, it's supposed to be rare, but it's wrapped up in everything.

hey all, sorry i didnt browse through all 7 pages of responses i just read the last page... but i want to respond to this:

i agree! I love spirit but it's supposed to be , like u said, very rare yet it popped everywhere in the last book.. part of me hated the whole avery situation cause wth...another spirit user? It was random. I dont mind curve balls but reading and trying to figure out that whole situation- it never crossed my mind because spirit users are supposed to be limited. But i feel the next book with evolve the whole spirit aspect and i do adore the mystery behind that power.

I don't really mind that they keep finding spirit users, because it's kind of cool finding out the limits to spirit. I just have a problem with it being connected to everything. But I suppose that's the reality of it: there's spirit in everything.

In everything living, at least...

Hey, that gives me an idea. It sort of has to do with the returning the spirit to strigoi theory. Maybe, because spirit is in everything living, and strigoi have no spirit, then the spirit users have to somehow "create" spirit in the strigoi? Hmmm... Just another thought.

Oh, and RanD4ever, could you please not use red font? its really hard to read on the black background.

Sorry...

Go to your profile, go to "perferences" and scroll down until you find "Always attatch your signature" and then click yes.

Thank You!!!

i really can't wait till spirit bound comes out
i hope adrian gets more developed as a character he is an awesome person but i wish we knew more about him



we know stuff about Rose's backround and past
and lissa's and dimitri's and even some of Christian's but the only part of Adrian's background is that he is royal and he is related to the queen and his party boy reputation
we never get anything about his parents or if he has any siblings or if he's had a really break up (cuz that could be why he isn't very forthcoming about his feelings until he's faced with losing his love -that would be rose) he needs to be more developed he's been in the books for three books and not even jsut a little part of them

any one else share my feelings???

We do know about his siblings, or lack of siblings. In Shadow Kiss Adrian says something along the lines of being Tatiana's favourite nephew because he's her only nephew, therefore he has no siblings (and probably no cousins either unless tatiana has kids). And we know Adrian's dad's name is Nathan and that he's a lot younger than Tatiana. So while we don't know as much, I'd disagree with you, I think we still know a fair bit about him.

I think we knew enough about Adrian to keep us quiet... I for one would love more of his character to be developed. He's so mysterious to me and it drives my curiosity crazy. However, i think that's the point. Like when Adrian pulled strings to get Lissa and Rose to victor's trail. It would of be so much more boring if Adrian just stated- hey i have power i can get you there. U know what i mean? Instead, they were allowed to go and they had no idea why or how and then it's revealed Adrian has connections. It goes for a better story line.

I honestly don't care what happens to Adrian. I just don't want him near Rose- He's to desperate for her. Plus- He's kind of a pig...

I agree. No offense to the Adrian lovers, I just don't like him. I don't like his party boy nature, I don't like anything about him. I can appreciate his character, and what it offers to the story, I just don't like his personality.

I feel sympathetic towards his party-boy nature. It's a product of Spirit. Finding that alcohol would make him feel better growing up (before he knew he had spirit). Though he might have still been a party-goer (due to the Rich Moroi-Royalty status he would have had), his attitude towards it was probably more of a self-help thing than a "I'm cool then thou" sort of thing.

no u r wrong it sez he is her favorite nephew(meaning boy) it never says anything about sisters(i just think it seems like he has experience with younger sisters with the way he acted with jill)

and knowing his dad's name is NOT background info

but other than that all we really get is his current info

(and the name of the school he went to ) but that's not really backgrond info either

he is not a pig he has real feelings for rose and he lets them out the only way he's ever known how and that is trying to get in her pants
but he is really sweet a lot of the time
like with jill and when they're trying to figure the thin out with rose's ghost problem

-sorry i keep arguing with u people about stuff bad day+strong opinions=attitude problems-

lol, I forgot nephew doesn't equal "only child" I'd never really considered the sister option. But I still have the feeling somewhere in the series it said he was an only child.

I disagree though, I think his father's name and the school are still counted as background info. If you asked someone for their basic history they're likely to tell you their parents, siblings, places they've lived and maybe one or two cool things that have happened to them. So while it's not an extensive history, it's still a stand history.

i don't know i still the thing with jill made him seem like an older brother when he's all like oh i'll walk her back to her dorm

and ok i gues it kis kind of background info but it doesn't really develop him as a charachter so it doesn' count forwhat i'm talking about

It think the whole walking back thing is just Adrian's personality, I never read too much into it. He's always wanted to protect/stand-up for the girls. Even though he has that "I'm so cool" attitude going for him, it's just a cover...he really cares for those he gets close to, so walking Jill back to her room was just another part of his gentlemanly personaliity shining through.

I agree with Adrian's "i'm so cool" personality as being a cover. If you think about it... he has been dealing with spirit's side effect alone probably since he was young. He * thought* he was crazy and so developed that party party boy cool attitude to portray to the world in hopes no one would notice how he felt inside. Plus being royal and all - he had to develop something as facade u know?
