Alright, people. *stops* I always start off like that, don't I? *lol* I find Edric's character lovable until....
WARNING: IF YOU HAVE NOT READ "The Immortal Realm" PLEASE STOP. SPOILER AHEAD.
... the propsal in "The Immortal Realm". Tiana's reason for refusal just pissed him off and I was like "Dude! She's not even an adult legally. Give her some air!" Maybe because I understand why Tiana said no and I know other people would've thought her stupid. But, come on, she's sixteen.
And when he brings her parents in the whole sickness thing, I was like "That's a low blow." The Dark Arts were not so off either. He kept saying he could make her whole... no matter what he said in the end, does that mean he prefers her as a faerie because she has mortal thinking of marriage and all that???
I'm not trying to make Edric a bad guy. I mean, I like how Jones had this happen. Because you never really know a person because you don't see all their sides. Hopefulle, in the sixth book, Edric's a little calmed down about the proposal.
... So, thoughts anyone on Edric?

Yeah, I fealt kind of the same way. I kept think-screaming "What are you doing!? APOLOGIZE!" But I still think he's cool, especially in The Enchanted Quest. The whole Dark Arts thing added mystery to him, but at the same time, you never know what's going to happen.
Does anyone think its creepy that Edric is 500+ years old and Tania is 16? Because, come on, she technically IS 16. I don't really think it is. But I remember alot of people thought it was wierd that Edward qas 109 to Bella's 18 in Twilight. I think that's where all the trouble with the marriage thing came from anyway, he's impatient to settle down, but she still has the mentality of a teenager.
What do you think?

Dude, now that I think about it. Yeah. I have always prefered older men but dang, Tiana! I think that is the reason why Edric is impatient to settle down. Plus, in Faerie World, they tend to marry early considering the time period. With our world, we learn to take things slowly and a lot of us (myself included) want to marry around the age 25.
Tiana isn't even legal yet now that I think about it. XD

- Spoilers Alert - I agree that the Dark Arts added a bit of "bad boy" to Edric's character. Is it just me, or is he turning into Gabriel's successor? The dancing scene in "The Enchanted Quest", when he hypnotized her and his eyes turned silver, was totally Gabriel. You'd think that having seen all that gabriel can do, Edric would never follow in the man's footsteps .... but then, that's all Edric has been doing his whole life, following Gabriel. Poor guy.

Yeah... I felt really sorry for him then though. He wants so much for Tania to love him, he wants to protect her and to be with her. I think the majority of the things he's done (even the really stupid things) he's done for her in one way or another. He wanted to fix Tania's world and she had to get it through his head that using the Dark Arts and fooling around with Gabriel's father wasn't the way to do it.

Hey. Now that you bring up that dancing scene, do you guys remember what Gabriel Drake told Tiana in book three? He said that even in death, she would never be free of him. (If memory serves me right.) Maybe part of the reason why Edric is using the Dark Arts and the silver eyes is because Gabriel is using him to torture Tiana. Or the silver eyes is a trait of those who mess with the Dark Arts.

It says that the silver eyes were a trait of people who use the Dark Arts. I think Gabriel is more in Tania's head.

Edric is way better that Gab! The proposal thing was a little weird but something inside my head was chanting 'Say yes, SAY YES!'. I acctually wish I could find a guy like Edric in the real world! Isn't it weird that we don't have teams? In Twilight they had Team Edward and Team Jacob; but we don't have any Team Edric or Team Gabriel. GO TEAM EDRIC! (wow, that sounded way cornier then I thought)
