Quote: The sun was just going down when I hesitantly poked my head out from under the blankets. Was it a dream? [...] “You better get up,” she said, slapping my leg. “What time is it?” She looked at her watch. “Quarter after two.” “In the morning?” “Yup, the Council likes to stick to the same routine as the vampires.”
Wait... I'm confused. Where in the world are they for the sun to be going down at two in the morning?!
And why isn't Nexi acting surprised by that fact?

Quote: “I—I don’t know.” I grabbed my wrist, and searched both quickly. There was nothing. No steady beat. No thumping on my fingers. I looked to Kyden frantically. “Where’s my pulse?” “When Zia released the block on your powers you became immortal.” [...] “Humans have heartbeats. Immortals don’t.” [...] “I’m still breathing?” He nodded in full agreement. “You are.” “Why?” “We still draw life from air,” he explained. “The difference is we live off the earth’s energy not a heart.”“Do I still have blood?” I asked, examining my arms for veins. “Yes, everything in you remains. It is just the need for a beating heart is no longer necessary.”
I like that explanation of how certain immortals exist in the world without a beating heart. Definitely a nice way of interpreting the meaning of life.
