What are your theories for Spirit Bound?

i know this is completely off topic.. but i think i just had an idea.
we all know that the guy who changed dimitri wants lissa dead,
what if when dimitri comes back, he does the deed and turns lissa strigoi.
that would make rose easier, and then she may want to turn strigoi - thats if he is still willing.
lissa would try to make rose come back, and as she specialized in 'spirit' it may still linger around her once she is turned, therefore making her spirit bound?

I've thought about that too. What if, to get to Rose, Dimitri goes through Lissa? If Lissa was turned, Rose might not want to be a dhampir/guardian anymore. It would be an easy way to get Rose to agree to go strigoi. I don't know about the whole, "spirit bound" thing, though. Why would spirit linger around once she was no longer a moroi? The other books all say that you can willingly turn strigoi, giving up you magic, and your morals. I don't think it would stay.

I still haven't figured out who the guy that turned Dimitri is. Did she know any Nathans?

I believe Nathan was someone Rose had met before her and Lissa left the school in the first book and it's not that she really knew him more of an acquaintance

Yeah, I agree. remember Ms. Karp willing turned Strigoi in order to stop connecting with the magic. So I don't think she'd be able to keep it.

either way, He's not exactly around anymore to be a problem, unless Dimitri didn't actually kill him after Rose staked Galina

yah, i guess thats true... but if he didnt really kill nathan, then that could throw in a whole new thing of twists... That could be very interesting.

Another good point. Though I doubt Nathan would have let him just go if Dimitri had decided to try and keep him around. Nathan was pretty damn pissed at Dimitri holding onto Rose so he'd probably want to get back at him somehow.

Maybe... or it might be enough just for Dimitri to promise him his shot at the last Dragomir. I'm sure that might work. Nathan could be with Dimitri as they're hunting Rose, and then because Dimitri knows that where ever Rose is, Lissa will be now, he assumes that Nathan and him will ge their fair shot at killing her. I think Rose's mom should be Lissa's other guardian once she graduates, at least until (if) they can bring Dimitri back. I think Rose and her mom would work really well together. Or Eddie. Eddie would be good too.

You have a point. We never really found out who Nathan was, so perhaps he isn't dead yet.
I think Eddie would be good, but only if Rose wasn't Lissa's guardian. Being the last Dragomir I think she needs a more experienced guardian protecting her as well as someone close to her age. It wouldn't be right to give her two really new guardians, and I know Rose has killed enough strigoi in the past few months to give her sort of experiences, the majority of those kills didn't involve having a moroi to protect.

Ya, it really wouldn't be fair to Lissa, being the last Dragomir princess, to have 2 really new guardians, who have just graduated, 1 of which has never actually killed a strigoi. Unless, like I was saying earlier, Tatianna gives up her throne, and Lissa becomes queen, in which case, then she could have Eddie, Rose, AND Janine, since she'd be queen, so therefore she'd have more guardians. Tatianna has, like what, 7?

Yeah, but it's doubtful Tatiana will just give up her throne.

unless the strigoi somehow infiltrate the court and kill her?

They'd have to overpower all the guardians AND the wards placed around the Court...It's a pretty big long-shot.

I've heard that at a signing in Australia, RM read from Spirit Bound
Did anyone here attend that?

yeah i guess,
although at st.vladmirs they underestimated them.
they could use the humans again for a quick take?
it could probably be the last book.

Yeah, I was there. She read from the middle of the book...it was pretty cool.
If you go to youtube and search "Richelle Mead, Spirit Bound Reading" you should probably find a video of it...I have a link somewhere, but not on this computer.

The sound isn't that good. Finding it hard to get it all.

If you turn the volume up this one's not too bad (or maybe that's just because I kind of knew what was going on when I heard it.) If anyone wants to know the general gist of what happen feel free to PM me and I'll tell you about it. I don't want to post spoilers in case someone really didn't want to know what happened.

You can PM me. I don't mind spoliers.

Thanks SM.

Dunno if you guys have seen this yet, but here's the video Penguin Australia released of Richelle reading from Spirit Bound. You can actually *hear* what she's saying!!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=viGbmrLk_s0

Spoiler:

There's a radio interview on her blog taking about the future and vampires having kids if I heard right.

okay i haven't really been thinking too much about what is going to happen in sb 'cause i've been too busy with trying to girure out what actually happened in bp i mean alot happened and it was all really confusing

but now that i am thining about it i think it's gonna be the best one yet

there will proabably be a lot of action romance agony and dispair and confusing situations

a few hypothesiss (i don't know what the plural of hypothesis is) i think Adrian will be a really confusing aspect in Rose's life like maybe posibly some feelings for him but then the whole thing with dimitri posibbly coming for her and lissa

and them going after victor it will proably be an inside job having a lot to do with alberta rose's mom and some other adult moroi and dhampirs

and once again rose will have to rescue lissa (not that i don't like lissa's character i do)

i don't know yet these aren't very good i haven't had alot of time to think about these so i'll proably come up wit hsome better ones ina few weeks kk

Didn't Dimitri say he didn't care about what happened to Lissa?

I don't think he said he didn't care exactly, just that she wasn't of any concern to him. It was more like he knew that some strigoi would go after Lissa and that she might be put in danger, but since he wasn't on that path he wasn't going to think about it much.

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.
