Haha, yeah - that's one of the reasons I'm trying to read them pretty quickly, is because I know if I wait more than a few months I will have no idea what's going on. But yeah, the Jewel/Avandar thing is complicated! It amuses me because it's very clearly set up with the tropes of a paranormal romance - there's the Fake!Marriage Brand! and the Sworn to Protect! and he is Immortal and Full of Manpain! and she is Kind and Idealistic and Reminds Him He's a Person! - and then instead of falling into his arms she spends pretty much the whole time being incredibly pissed off at him.

Fortunately, my attachment to POTO is the kind that is full of ironic love and lulz anyways, so I am pretty okay with this. (AHHH RETURN TO THE SECRET GARDEN THOUGH. AHHHHH! I skimmed through several pages and now it sits on my shelf like a terror and accusation before I have the chance to pass it off on some other unsuspecting person.)
