These aren't decent book reviews, mostly reactions. That are full of spoilers, please note.

I was reading through your list and got to the Kyoko bit, and then I started wondering if you'd do HINABN (I did not look down) and wondered who Veser would be. I thought about it for a while and concluded, "Veser would probably be Desire, he's the bitchiest (and pissiest) of all the Endless and a SERIOUS troublemaker."

And then I read down and was HAHAHAHAHA WE PICKED THE SAME ENDLESS for Veser. Though we articulated different reasons, clearly we picked up on very critical similarities. I really liked the selkie/siren blood bit. :D

Doc Worth, I think, would have to be Destruction. All the way up to the abdication-of-post (Worth abandoning What People Thought He Should Be and slumming it as a back-alley doctor).

Conrad is Dream, I think. EMO AND CREATIVE. Except for the part where he is pissy like Desire.

I like Death = Hanna (HA HA HA). :D

And also HEE! re. Tsuna being Death! NICE ONE re. DYING WILL.

Gokudera is a good Destiny, I think, only he turns into Delirium around Tsuna.

special icon for Lee

I was thinking about who Lee could be, and while I wanted it to be Destiny;

LEE IS CLEARLY DESPAIRRRRRRR.

Your reasoning for Veser - Desire also makes perfect sense! Now I'm imagining how they'd get on, and empires would fall. At least, Hanna and Conrad would cry a little.

Absolutely agreed on Doc Worth, and I think Dream is better for Conrad. He seems too ... sensible? for Desire. After that guest comic with kiddie Hanna, Death feels like the only patron for him, while the Dying Will thing also made Tsuna feel an obvious choice for her. And Lee is totally Despair's, sob, and is also a fine example of why Desire and Despair are twins.

Gokudera is a good Destiny, I think, only he turns into Delirium around Tsuna.
BAHAHAHA. That about sums him up.

wait I missed something

[thelovemafia]

anything from Books the Both of Us Have Read!

Queen's Thief! :D

My picks: Costis is not really Destiny, but it's the closest fit because of the bound-to-duty bit. He's only Despair re. Gen's antics.

GEN IS DESIRE. HAHAHAHAHAHA. And in a weird way... Irene can be a little like that too (in the pissy, vindictive, vengeful, I WILL DESTROY MY ENEMIES IN VERY NASTY WAYS way). I am undecided if she has a bit of Destiny to her as well.

Eddis is Death :D

My first thought is "The entire main cast of The Demon's Lexicon series belongs to Desire". Must be all the making out they do. Seriously though, Nick, Mae, Sin, even Jamie... Except Alan might be Despair's. Even if he's hopeful with regards to how he treats Nick and lives his life, he's also lost a lot of hope for how good those things are going to get. Aw, Alan, now I'd feel sorry for you if you didn't still terrify me.

Costis is not really Destiny, but it's the closest fit because of the bound-to-duty bit. He's only Despair re. Gen's antics.
Huh, Destiny probably is the best fit. Unless you want to go with some kind of idea that all soldiers belong to Destruction, a little. Hahahaha I like the Despair comment. :')

AAH. Gen is Desire, yes! AAHHH. ATTOLIA IS TOTALLY DESIRE.

Eddis is Death :D
:( Why does that have to make so much sense! Especially in terms of that short story about how she got to be ruler.
