Subject: DF musings...

Hello all, just got started on KMM's other MB, and wanted to join in here too - now I have only read DarkFever once, so I need to re-read for details - but here are some things I'd like opinions on - if they have been covered previously, I'm so sorry!

1 - Did anyone else notice that Jericho refuses to touch the spear? Notice how he instructs Mac to handle it when they first find it - even when he helps her kill Gray Man, he "plucks" the tinfoil off the tip - yes, he stabs Gray Man with the spear, but it is clearly noted that Mac's purse is still wrapped around the spear. So did I miss something - or is it true that he never touches it? That has to mean he's something...right?
2 - I picked up on his weird reaction to mercenary too - so I thought he might be a berserker, but he doesn't have the eyecolor for it...
3 - I hadn't thought about it before, but after reading some of the posts, the preface makes me think that Mac does get involved with V'lane...or some other fae...maybe Jericho - if he turns out to be fae - her wording seems to indicate she goes through something, and recovers from it, and KMM mentioned one of her planned titles is "Fae Fever" so....
4 - Finally, on the subject of Jericho - he doesn't ever seem to eat, or really sleep, he has some crazy sexual hold over Fiona, he acts weird about questions anout vampires and he seems older than he appears - so...what do these puzzle pieces mean? I guess we'll just have to wait for more pieces the next book!

[> I have only read DF once but now you have me thinking as well. I do beleive JB is definately something, what I am still trying to figure out. I am kind of on the fence about possibly an Unseelie price because they say they are just as beautiful as the Seelie, but I don't know if he quite fits that bill. --

[> Who Is JB? He knows who V'Lane is, has a cuff and Torc like the Fae Princes. JB and The Lord Master seemed to recognize each other. Several times has said no one knows the sewer system as well as him. Mac mentions that he looked like a Roman centurion. Didn't the Romans invade Ireland? And weren't they responsible for the first sewer systems. JB mentions the sewers when they rob O'Bannion. He also claims to be a Pict (Basque and Celt). He is not affected by the Shades, by Mac being a Null when she touches him. He will not touch the spear. ....Maybe he is a Druid or maybe he is another Fae Prince that has become human - like Adam. I'm not sure however, the definition of Sidhe-Seer says "a person" not "a woman".... He could be what he claims - a very advanced Sidhe-seer - maybe he is one of the first...He still has to many uneventful interactions with the fae though... Sorry for the rant. -- Trixie, 23:53:03 01/06/07 Sat [1]

I've been on this board for a while but not as long as others here but still. It is interesting to see this topic and these questions come again. We do have this chat on Saturday nights to discuss KMM's work and we were so so intrigued by all the possibilities surrounding JB that I put together a table with all the facts about him. Even then, in table form, tis difficult to say. But bless your heart for not saying he could be a werewolf...that would just drive me nuts!!

[> 1)Theories about the spear have been mentioned somewhere in the quagmire of pages of this message board, more recently then some so a quick skim should give you an answer. 2) And that mercenary thing is really interesting! It's only really come up about once or twice and it's one of the few subjects that seems to leave us all stumped. It's like we all get slack-jawed and can't think of any good theories to explain it. 3) *fast and a bit angry* V'laneisaSlimyGitandIwishthatMacwouldn'tgowithhimbutIthinkshedoesandIthinkitwillbeherbiggestmistakeofherlife! *goes and sobs in the corner* 4) I hope he turns out to be a were! I think that would be cool, but the biggest group to that question would probably be that he's a vampire. -- Annaline, 16:14:12 01/07/07 Sun [1]

[> [> What if J.B was some sort of "mercenary" for the fae. Maybe that's why he couldn't touch the spear because of some sort of compact between the two---I know, I'm really reaching here, aren't I? ;-) -- Rin, 19:48:13 01/07/07 Sun [1]
