Well, I'm not a blogger or a reviewer - just a mere translator, but that was just my personal opinion which included a certain emotional expression. I've never asked anyone to be responsible for it or for you and Steve to "write your books my way". I apologize if my bluntness has offended the author.
That's funny, though, Fen Ris must've surely found a natural lifemate given the sudden flare of passion and marriage, but at times it seemed to me he just got crazily in love for one or another reason. That's because all of your lifemates, outside of Anthora and Ren Zel who are extremely gifted dramliz, take quite a lot of time to understand and welcome their special bond.
And speaking of special bonds, aren't lifematings, like one of the Yxtrangi Explorers said, "exclusively for two people"? Can one still be romantically and/or sexually attracted to smb outside the relationship? By saying that "homo is for fun" I didn't mean Fen Ris' feelings weren't serious - I meant that natural lifematings are still exclusive for straight couples (since lifemating seems to be "a whole more important sort of love") - see the first passage though.
Ah, I compared an old translation of Conflict of Honors to the "original" (second edition?), and was also left annoyed that the Priscilla and Lina scene was cropped. I thought it was the USSR mad censorship though.
On a completely unrelated note: can one know how old is Theo in Standard years by the end of Dragon Ship?
