Jenni Lea: OK, I read this a loooong time ago. Tell me what is different in this new version.
Cupcake: Right? I was thinking what could I possibly say in a new review other than I <3 Ori forever n ever. The end.
Breann: I read it the first time a long time ago, too. I couldn't tell you what's different...
SRAL: I dunno. I'm midway in the newer version, though it seems a little smoother now.
Breann: But I do know that I love Ori.
Jenni Lea: I remember loving Ori when I read it too.
Sunny: Nothing major changed that I caught, but L is right, it did seem smoother.
Cupcake: I think she beefed up the world/nest building & did some more character development.
Sunny: I have a quote...
Sunny: "Every muscle in Ori’s body tensed, yet it only took him a second to alter his position, and offer his body for his master to take whatever he wanted."
Cupcake: awwwwwwwww xoxoxox ORIIIIIIII!!!!!!!!!!
Sunny: And Raynard wasn't too bad, either...
Sunny: “Because you belong to me and tonight you’ve earned the right to have a few extra marks to show it.”
Jenni Lea: OK, maybe I should read the new version. I'm loving these quotes!
SRAL: Yeah, some things were explained in more detail. I think some readers found Reynard mean in the first version but his thought process is clearer
Breann: “You’re not in the nest anymore. You belong to me-no one else”
SRAL: You're in the head of a Dom.
Breann: and then Raynard hooked his fingers into Ori’s collar
Sunny: loved the collar, and how they both reacted to it
SRAL: You're in the head of a sub. You understand why they react to certain situations.
Sunny: Ori's reaction to his punishment...which was perfect for him
Cupcake: The lines? I love those lines. Such a good boy.
Sunny: He was so confused by it all
Breann: but it was PERFECT
Cupcake: I think the fledgling stuff was expanded upon & why Ori was so clumsy.
Sunny: agree about the fledgling details
Jenni Lea: Yeah, I'm definitely going to read the new version
Cupcake: I think the shifter mindspace was better detailed as well.
SRAL: I'll cut a bitch if they mess with sweet Ori.
Sunny: I'm skipping ahead, but Raynard's reaction to Ori after his shift at the end was so good
Cupcake: it was. I have quotes but they're so long.
Sunny: Seeing how Ori reacted in his "wild" state
Cupcake: IT SO WAS!!!!!! I loved how nervous he was that Ori wouldn't want him the same any more & that he was willing to adjust his mindset to be w/him! AWWWWWW
Sunny: Exactly, Cupcake. It was so well done.
Sunny: It was awesome how we got Raynard's pov there.
Breann: I loved when he stood up to the crow because Raynard told him not to let anyone touch his submissive
Sunny: Yes! Breann, I loved that.
Jenni Lea: I think the lack of all you've just described in the first version is what made me only give it 3 stars. It wasn't fleshed out enough for me.
Sunny: Definitely read the new version, JL
Cupcake: I'm bad w/remember details but I think Raynard's decision to let Ori be once he shifted & WHY was better explained
Sunny: That was the WORST part of the book...I cried and cried and cried.
Cupcake: I remember thinking the first time, 'just build a bridge, dude! it's ORI!!!!!!'
Sunny: lol...I hated that in the first version, but kind of sort of understood it in this one.
Cupcake: i started to get anxious when i knew it was coming & reading Ori beg & get turned down... :(
Sunny: it hurt :(
Sunny: poor Ori :(
Breann: Hmm... it didn't hit me in the feels that hard
Breann: I love Ori, but he didn't squeeze any tears from me
Sunny: It did me, and I don't cry actual tears very often when I read.
SRAL: No tears but plenty of feels
Cupcake: I didn't cry either. I had feels though.
Cupcake: Mostly I wanted to center punch Raynard for being an idiot.
Breann: Yes. Mostly this.
Sunny: I was frustrated with him
Sunny: But he was so miserable, too
Cupcake: I'm glad I got to see/feel his misery otherwise I would've been fussy.
Cupcake: Was it just me or was Everet's part beefed up as well?
Breann: It might have been! I don't remember him from before at all
Sunny: maybe...I almost want to read the first version again to see if I can spot differences
Jenni Lea: Which one was Everet?
Sunny: Everet watched over Ori when Raynard talked to the head of the nest in the beginning
Sunny: He was also a go between later on
Breann: And he's in book 2
Cupcake: And he's the star of Magpie
Cupcake: one of
Breann: I remember enjoying Magpie more than Duck
Jenni Lea: I think I remember him in the beginning of the book but not in the end
SRAL: I didn't remember him much the first time around. I didn't read #2 yet
SRAL: Heh
Cupcake: I'm pretty sure the albatross was added to this one. Super stoked ab/that book!
Breann: Is Magpie being rereleased also?
Cupcake: I feel a big guy bottom coming my way. :D
Cupcake: it is. i think in november?
SRAL: Alright!!
Breann: I may have to reread that one as well!
SRAL: I'm not reading the old one. Going for the newer one instead.
Cupcake: I'm not big on brats but I did like all the shiny things. Kane had big shoes to fill though.
Sunny: There was an albatross in the first version, but only briefly
Jenni Lea: dafuq is an albatross?
Cupcake: Was there? Sunny's so BOSS! ;)
Sunny: lol...I kind of remembered, but checked to make sure
Cupcake: LOL! A big bird. A big bird that's getting his own book. He's in Magpie frequently.
Breann: I don't remember! But now I'm picturing Big Bird
Breann: Not sexy.
Jenni Lea: Thanks Cupcake! That explains everything
Cupcake: Big Bird Bottom? Any better visuals there?
Breann: With snuffaluffagus?
Sunny: *not visualizing big bird*
Sunny: *or snuffaluffagus*
Jenni Lea: You guys stop it! I'm traumatized now
Cupcake: Sowwy!
Sunny: I love the way Kim Dare writes submission...she really gets into motivations and reactions, and it's awesome.
Jenni Lea: OK, Imma go read duck!
Cupcake: If he turns out to not be a bottom CC going to be covered in egg. :(
Sunny: Is there a big guy bottom list?
Sunny: Do we need to start one?
Cupcake: We need a BGB list! For science.
Sunny: *not clicking*
Sunny: ok, I clicked, and laughed...
Jenni Lea: Ah! The "Mine!" bird!
SRAL: It's G rated! I would never
Sunny: lol...you so would, L!
Jenni Lea: Like in Finding Nemo
SRAL: LOL I would. I can't even type with a straight face
Sunny: thanks, B!
Cupcake: Yep. But he's described as massive? Those birds don't seem all that massive.
Breann: Welcome
SRAL: As long as we get to a ginger MC for this series. :)
Breann: jinx!
Breann: not that same pic though
Breann: that would have been funny
Sunny: :)
SRAL: They are pretty big
Cupcake: Indeed. :D
Sunny: Okay, back to Ori...what else do we want to talk about the book?
SRAL: Ori is thebomb.com
Sunny: I wanted something to happen to the crows.
SRAL: Ori for Mayor!
Sunny: Ori just wants to take care of Raynard
Breann: yeah, they needed to be put in their place
SRAL: Vote for Ori!
Cupcake: I don't know if Ori would've wanted anything to happen to the crows though.
Jenni Lea: So, everyone liked the book? Would you recommend it to me?
Cupcake: He's a giving soul & now they have to live w/what they did to him & know he's a benevolent leader of the nest that they now have to respect forever & always.
Sunny: Yes, JL!
Sunny: and yes, Cupcake :)
Breann: YES. Totally read it, JL!
Jenni Lea: If I remember correctly it mainly focuses on the D/s aspect of BDSM. Right?
Cupcake: This is probably my favorite series by Kim though I do REALLY like the Worth Waiting For series too.
SRAL: Yep. And yes.
Cupcake: Yes. There is some impact stuff but it's not heavy.
Jenni Lea: and domestic discipline?
Jenni Lea: I seem to recall Ori did a LOT of cleaning, in both the nest and in whatshisname's house
Sunny: yes, he does...it's how he takes care of people
Sunny: Raynard doesn't really give him any direction in it, though
SRAL: Master/sub
SRAL: I didn't think of it as DD
Jenni Lea: Is he a kind and gentle master? Or an alphahole? I can't remember
Sunny: Very kind...
Sunny: a little reserved at first, though
SRAL: very kind, caring Dom
Cupcake: I think he's kind. I wouldn't categorize it as DD though.
Cupcake: "All Ori had to do was love being owned, and marked, and possessed by his master. Nothing Raynard could ask of him would ever be easier."
Breann: I have the quote marked, too
Sunny: me, too! and this one... “You’re stronger with your submission than without it.”
Breann: And he so was.
Jenni Lea: OK, then I think I'll do a re-read. I like the kind masters
Sunny: He was VERY protective
Breann: what'd DD?
Sunny: domestic discipline
SRAL: domestic discipline
Jenni Lea: domestic discipline
Breann: Oh! duh
Sunny: lol!
Breann: thanks x3
Cupcake: LOL! Wow.
Sunny: I think that's it, unless anyone has anything to add?
Breann: One more...
Breann: I love Ori.
Breann: K.
Cupcake: ORRRRIIIIIIIII!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! <~~~~said like STELLLLLAAAAA!!!!!!!
Cupcake: The end.
