I'm a long time Sherriyn Kenyon fan. I couldn't wait for Ash's book to come out and was soooo disappointed. The book was so hard to read...the rape, the pain, it was difficult, and while I love Tori, I didn't really feel like they fit together well. I say that to say this, after reading the reviews for Styxx, I was dreading reading this book. I even told my husand that I had a dreaded excitement about this book. I knew I couldn't read the torture and rape scenes like in Ash's book...I just couldn't do it again, but I knew that you have to read all that to find out what's really going on.

When I began reading Styxx's book, I breathed a sigh of relief. While his treatment is deplorable, the author took pity on us by not going into the detail that she did in Ash's book. You will find that things are not always what they seem and while Ash was beaten, raped and tortured, Styxx too was beaten, raped and tortured along with being ignored and having to lead an army to victory. Coming from a psychology background, I completely understood the reaction Ash had to Styxx during the course of the book. Many reviewers were upset with Ash's treatment and reaction, but I understood completely. The surprising aspect of the book was Ryssa. I really liked her in Ash's book, but like the other reviewers, grew to dislike her very much in Styxx's book.

Kenyon finally wrote the book that I craved when I read Ash's book. While Ash's book was tragic and pain filled and completely hopeless until you get to the current time period, Styxx's book has brief glimpses of hope and love and those moments make the stuff he goes through almost berable as a reader. I think Styxx and Bethany are a perfect match and their story felt complete. Ash and Tori's story, while sweet, didn't feel complete.

For those of you who were left wanting in Ash's book will find Styxx's book all you could ever ask for. BE SURE TO READ HOUSE OF THE RISING SON FIRST! It adds a deeper level to Styxx's book.

Styxx Sherrilyn Kenyon 9780349400648 Books Reviews

For long time followers of this series, this book will be a roller coaster of emotion! The book starts off much like Acheron's story because Acheron and Styxx are twin brothers. We have read Archeron's side and understand why he hates Styxx so much; what we don't know is why Styxx hates Acheron. We have been lead to believe that Styxx is the bad person for over 20 books. Can and does Styxx have any redeeming qualities? Is he the the arrogant, spoiled prince that Acheron believes or is he looking at his brother with blinders on?

I'm not going to lie this book is filled with heart ache and abuse, much like Acheron. I cried at many points in this book because the author solicits very strong emotions. As in other books this book follows suit with the gods at play with the human lives and we see how tragic it can be. We also see the fight of a human man (Styxx) against those gods and those who seek to destroy him.

As per all of the Dark Hunter/Dream Hunter books, the characters are very well developed as are the the places in time and periods of time. The author put a tremendous amount of work into this book and it shows. Some parts of the book may indeed seem like deja vu, yet they are different because the memories are from Styxx. In this book we meet Styxx's Beth. She is an incredible heroine, much like the women in the previous books. She is strong and independent and willing to look past the wrapper that is Styxx. Will their love be able to overcome all in this book or will the interference of the other meddling gods be too powerful?

Overall, this is my favorite book from Sherrilynn Kenyon. The story is very powerful, emotional and at times completely tragic.
I think this is the first time I've given Ms. Kenyon less than a 4. I love the Dark Hunter series - and all the novellas and Were/Dreamers books - and let's not talk about how Acheron is by far my favorite character, that is until Styxx. In Acheron I cried for him, for his situation and the unfairness of his life, and I was glad that at least he had his sister on his side. On this book I bleed for Styxx, he had it worse than Acheron and I think Ms. Kenyon used the -rape- factor by far too much in this book. I do believe she gives a good excuse as to why Styxx was physically abused so much but she went on and on with scenes that could have been avoided and the past of the book was dragged too much -with the element of rape being the most prominent factor of it.

Styxx's life was harsh, his father's expectations and doubts about his birth circumstances were heavy on him. His sister was an utter b-i-t-c-h, if I liked her in the first book in this one she has become one of my most hated characters of all times -she's worse than Voldemort and Dolores Umbridge mixed together. She was such a b-i-t-c-h and terrible unfair with Styxx, she was pitiful and resentful and the loved I felt she had for Ash in Acheron's book felt almost obsessive - as if she too couldn't avoid the want of wanting Acheron for herself. And let's not go to his uncle because next to his sister those two were horrible.

Styxx was gorgeous, his life as a soldier was my favorite aspect of the book, the way he was so fair with his army and nothing stopped the fact he was noble inside and outside. He was an old soul in a child's body and his relationship with his Master and later father figured was amazing. Styxx and Beth were lovely, one of the best couples from the Dark-Hunter series. I loved how even later, in present time, Styxx never complained about life and unfairness, he just kept going on loving Beth and his unborn child.

From the present part of the book, I loved Styxx and Urian's relationship. I loved Urian as a character and knowing who was his father made me love him a bit more. The fact he never pushed Styxx and respected him, never judging was one of the best aspects of the book.

The ending felt extremely rushed and I felt lost in occasions because so many things were going on and Ash was an as-s-h-ole for the most part of the book - if not the entire book - and Styxx was still suffering other's peoples hate on him. He just wanted to be free, free and alone even if he always hated being alone when he was a child. The fact I felt it was a rape-fest most of the book and the ending was extremely rushed took a lot of enjoyment of this book. I had to put it aside for a second because the rape scenes were a turn off -even if they weren't descriptive, the aftermath was always terrible to read.
