Reactions and Reviews
I probably like this story better than Tribe Sentinel, just because it is so Jim centric. I am a JimBabe what can I say. We see things alot from his POV. In it we find out some of Jim's secrets and realize there is definitely more to him than we have seen at first. This picks up a couple of years after Tribe Sentinel and we find Jim and Blair having trouble in their relationship. They both seek out help from some of the friends they made in Tribe to figure out where their problem really lies. It has a rich plot and the revelation of some of Jim's past is a little bit surprising in a good way. Along with trying to deal with their problems they manage to help some others with similar issues along the way. Also, it appears someone is stalking the group of friends, whether it is someone from the past or a new foe you'll just have to wait and see. A fabulous read that goes into the Sentinel myth in a wonderful way, explaining its intricacies is a way better than the show could have. There is a sequel to this one called Commencing in the works, look out to see when it comes.[1]
This story takes place a couple of years after the events of Tribe Sentinel. In it Jim and Blair are facing some tough times dues to problems in their relationship. They seek out the help of some friends who know who and what they are to one another to help them with it. I just love the characterization of Jim in this story. The vulnerability in him, that I have always seen in the character, really shines through in this. In the story Jim has to deal with things he has been repressing for years about who and what he is so that he can find his way back to his Guide. The angst Jim goes through in trying to get over his fears and shame about who he is so that he can give himself fully to Blair is wonderful. In it he learns that you have to trust the people you love with those secrets you hide from everyone and believe that they will still love you once they know.... My favorite line in this story is: "Love always seeks to make more of itself. Everyone knows that silly." It brought tears to my eyes when I first read it and still does. When you read it in context, it just might you too. [2]
