Artemether & Lumefantrine Tablets

The most deadly type of malaria, uncomplicated Plasmodium falciparum malaria, is treated mostly with a combination of two antimalarial medications called artemeether and lumefantrine. This combination is sold under multiple brand names, such as Coartem, Riamet, and Falcynate-LF, and is frequently referred to as ACT (Artemisinin-based Combination Therapy).

pharmacological use:

Artemether: A derivative of artemisinin that works fast to lower blood levels of malaria parasites. Artemether acts quickly, which makes it quite effective.

Lumefantrine: A longer-acting medication that aids in eliminating the residual parasites and guards against the infection returning. It functions by obstructing the parasite’s ability to use and metabolize hemoglobin.

Adverse Reactions

Typical adverse effects could be:

Headache lightheadedness Deficiency appetite decline High temperature Pain in the muscles and joints

My thoughts on Dragonsworn: Book Review

With this review, I'm making my first post in my side blog dedicated to my reads, and especially to the Dark-Hunters. You can expect some activity here from now on. feel free to follow me (I'll follow back from my main blog @green-arrows-of-karamel).

That said, let's continue with the good.

Every year and with every new book, I tell myself that I should be prepared for anything that Sherrilyn Kenyon has stored for us, but every freaking time she manages to blow my mind away. Dragonsworne isn’t the exception. From the dragons’ trilogy (Dragonbane, Dragonmark, and Dragonsworn), this is the book I like the most. Much better than Illarion’s, that’s for sure. Besides this book has one of the most unexpected revelations that have been in the series in a while. My head is still reeling from it. I did NOT see that coming. Nuh-uh. Not at all. Although, I admit that it also confirms and/or clears some old questions (of course, it brings new ones too, as always).

I think I can divide the book in 3 acts. The first: the action-packed, fast-paced beginning; the second: a bit slower, emotional middle; to finish with the third: the detonation of a nuclear bomb. There’s no other way to put it. Seriously. I should be used to those plot twists, but damn, this one is big! There’s no doubt that Sherri is the goddess of the unexpected plot twists.

By now, you probably have noticed that I’m being vague in my review. That’s on purpose. I don’t want to spoil those who haven’t read the book and don’t want know anything before they do. If that’s your case, I have only one thing to say to you…. WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU WAITING FOR?? Go and read it, for Christ’s sake!!

For the rest of you that either already read it or you want spoilers, keep reading below the cut, where I’m spilling all the beans. 

Are you still with me? Last chance to go before the spoiler parade commences. No? Okay, here we go. 

Let’s start with the main couple, 

Falcyn and Medea…

Since the first time I found out these 2 were going to be a couple, I thought that it was going quite interesting and I wasn’t disappointed. If anything I was surprised with them by how sweet and cute are with each other! Gah! So adorable! 

I love, love, loooooooove that even Medea is the “evil princess” she wasn’t a bitch, you know. Not even once. Not to anyone that didn’t deserve it. Her so-called animosity was 100% flirtatious with Falcyn. It was a delight to read the interactions with him. Both proved that their “evil” attitude comes more from the instinct to protect themselves than from a truly malignant soul. I can’t wait to see more of them in the coming books.

Urian

I love Urian, being an over protective brother, funny because obviously Medea is super capable of take care of herself. That’s just a taste of how he’ll be with Kody in the future. Adorable, even if it’s a bit aggravating for the girls.

But I CANNOT believe the super mega nuclear bomb that Sherri threw on our laps. Phoebe, alive?!!??! What the fuck???!!! Come again?! I’m still in shock! I mean, there was nothing that prepared me for THAT! As soon as I finished Dragonsworne, I went back to Kiss of the Night. I had to! I had to know if there was some clue that I’d missed. Now I know that Uri, as everybody else, assumed she was dead because she wasn’t there, there was no body, but there was no blood or ashes either to confirm that Phoebe had died. Uri found her necklace, that’s it!! Damn it, Sheri, you didn’t again!! Grr!

We should know by now not to believe something in the books that comes from just one POV. Yet, Sherri manages to fool us over and over again. I love and hate her for that!

Now we have to wait a whole year, plus the 2 we’ve already waited since the goddess announce Urian’s book was coming, to know how everything is going to end. The longest year of my life, I swear. I thought the waiting for Styxx was hellish, but noooo, THIS is hell!! The question is now if Phoebe is going to be the HEA, because I heard that she wasn’t, I may be wrong o simply was a simple deception to give it more impact the bomb dropping, but there’s that possibility. I had paired him with Xyn, Falcyn’s sister, but now I’m not sure. Time will tell, I guess.

Support groups

A while back, I said that it exists a support group for the characters with asshole siblings, you know, with Zarek, Styxx, Cadegan… now we can include Falcyn in there too. But not only that. I think it’s necessary to create a support group for the characters that believe to be one thing and end up being children/grandchildren to another character. In that group we can include: Cade that believes to be brother to Thorn when actually is his son; Blaise who believed to be brother but is grandson to Falcyn; Cherise and Nick who are the granddaughter and great-grandson to Xev; Urian who thought to be just Styxx’ friend and up being his son; and the list goes on and on. This group is way too large. 

Random stuff

Davyn. I need a book of him, now!! So, so bad!

I expect to see Wulf and Cass in the next book because how to deal with the whole Phoebe-is-still-alive-thing without telling to her sister, right. Also, I need significant amount of Styxx, too, because there’s no way that he won’t be there for his son.

Oh I love, love, love, the mystery around Apollymi is finally getting a bit clearer. Now we know how the hell she ended up marrying Archon. And I’m 100% convinced that our favorite theory of who is Ash’ father is true. I’m pretty sure that I know who is Kissare reborn. That’s not too had to figure out. It's a surly surfer, whose name starts with S and ends with avitar. I’m so giddy about that. My shipping heart is so, so happy.

Have you noticed that Simi saves everyone? Lol!! She appears and automatically the day is saved.

I love that the whole CoN bunch was mentioned. Nick, Aeron, Dagon, etc. but there’s something that worries me a looooottt!! Have you noticed that when someone mentions Caleb is in the past, never in the present. It’s like he isn’t around. I get that Kody isn’t mentioned at all because she shouldn’t be/isn’t there, but Caleb should!! Why is that?! I know I’m overthinking this, but I can’t help it! Good thing that Intensity is just a month away!! (Thank God!!) I might get some answers then.

Dragonsworn - Extended excerpt

“Remi! You can’t kill Daimons at the front door!” Dev Peltier shot across the main bar floor of Sanctuary at a dead run, with his wolfwere brother-in-law Fang Kattalakis hot on his heels.

“Sure I can,” his identical brother snarled in his earpiece. “Watch me!”

Dreading the scene of his shapeshifting twin ripping the heart out of a demon on the busy streets of New Orleans underneath a closed circuit police camera, Dev considered teleporting to stop the coming disaster, but that would only worsen this fiasco.

And guarantee them both some special quality time in a high security government lab some place where they’d never be seen or heard from again.

He and Fang barely reached the open front door in time to grab the tall, muscled mountain that sometimes passed as a human being before Remi ate the petite blonde standing nonchalantly under the outside streetlight.

And that bastard fought them with everything he had as they pulled him back from his would-be victim. A victim who didn’t appear concerned at all that she’d narrowly escaped certain death.

Remi even bit Dev in the shoulder as he struggled against them.

“Dammit!” Dev snarled. “You better have had your rabies shot, boy!”

Growling in that unique way that only a shapeshifting bear could, Remi continued to try and throw them off so that he could reach the woman who still hadn’t moved.

In fact, the Daimon yawned. Then checked her watch as if the entire event left her bored out of her mind. “Can I go in now? You two have him leashed, right?”

Fang’s jaw dropped at her nonchalant tone. “You know, Medea, given what happened the last time a bunch of you showed up here, you’ve got a lot of nerve.”

“‘Course I do. It’s what makes me the bad guy. And I’m told my half-brother’s upstairs, playing poker with your little brother. So if you don’t mind …” She headed inside as if she didn’t have a bar full of shapeshifters who’d love to make her their lunch.

Remi continued to curse them both. “They killed Maman and Papa! How could you let her waltz into our bar like that?”

Dev kept his brother in place with his forearm across Remi’s throat. “Because if you harm one hair on her head, we’ll lose our sanctuary license again. Think of your nieces and nephews!”

All of them had lost too much during the last battle that had shattered their family.

Finally, the fire went out in Remi’s eyes as he stopped struggling against them.

“We good?”

Remi nodded.

Releasing him, Dev stepped back to eye Fang. “So what idiot put hothead on the door tonight?”

Fang cast him a disgruntled glare. “I be said idiot. Thank you very much. Thought he was you. Could one of your bastards cut your hair so that I can tell you apart?”

Dev rolled his eyes. Then pointed to the double bow and arrow tattoo on his biceps. “I do have one mark that distinguishes me from the other idiots, you know?”

Fang scoffed while Remi started for the door.

“Hey, hey!” Dev caught his arm. “What’cha thinking, punkin?”

“That Maman should have eaten you when you were whelped.”

Dev snorted. “You can’t go in there and start a fight with her. Need I remind you there’s a shit ton of human tourists in that bar and Max is a bit preoccupied tonight with his dragonswan. That boy ain’t been up for air in days so we can’t count on him to help us out with the humans.”

Remi’s nose twitched in that way that said he was hellbent for blood. “Can’t his brother mindwipe them, then?”

Good question. Falcyn might have the same powers as Max. Then again, he might not. Even if he did, there was no guarantee he’d use them as helping others wasn’t exactly the surly dragon’s priority. “No idea. You want to ask Falcyn?” That shapeshifting bastard was the only creature alive with a worse attitude than Remi.

Unless you counted the former Dark-Hunter Zarek. Though to be honest, Dev would run Falcyn up against Z any day. Thrice on Sundays.

Proof to the point? Remi backed down immediately at the thought of speaking to Falcyn, and that was something his brother never did.

“I’m going to go watch her,” Remi grumbled before he headed inside.

Dev growled low in the back of his as he met Fang’s irritated smirk. “I know. Dev, go watch your brother.”

“And find me someone else to guard the door.”

“Where’s your ear p …” Dev’s voice trailed off as he remembered that one of Aimee’s favorite things was to nibble Fang’s ears in the backroom when no one else was around. Disgusted with the thought of his baby sister touching anything male in a sexual way, he grimaced. “Never mind. I’ll grab Cherif. You can’t miss him. He’s the one who looks like me, but isn’t.”

“That could also be Quinn.”

“Don’t remind me.” It was hell to be one of four identical quads. Only Aimee and the Dark-Hunter Acheron had ever been able to tell them apart.

And Dev’s wife, Sam. She’d never once confused him with his brothers, which was one of many reasons he loved her.

“Double time, Bear!” Fang snapped. “Don’t need your brother starting some shit while we’ve got humans around to witness it!”

Letting out a bear growl in his throat, Dev went to find Remi before the bear really did eat the Daimon, and start another war they didn’t need to fight.  

###

Medea screwed her face up at all the humans in the dark, noisy bar as they swayed to the music of the Howlers. Gah, how she hated them. Though to be honest, it would be quite a feast for her should she choose to indulge, not that she needed their blood to feed— unlike the others of her kind.

For her, it was just fun payback …

More tempted than she ought to be, she forced herself to ignore all the throats that would be so easy to rip open and searched for her half-brother’s familiar face. Though she and Urian were technically enemies who fought on opposite sides of this war, he was still one of the few people she considered her friend.

Right now, she had dire news he needed to hear.

“Hey baby! You looking for me?”

Medea curled her lip at the cheesy come-on line. Worse? The filthy human stank of cheap alcohol and some cologne he must have bought off a clearance drugstore aisle. “Out of my way.”

“Ah, now, why you want to do me like that?” He put a rough grip on her arm to hold her by his side.

Laughing, she bit her lip seductively. “Sugar, you have no idea what I really want to do with you …”

His eyebrows shot north. “Oh yeah?”

“Ummm-hmmm.” She stepped into his arms as she dreamed of gutting him on the floor.

An instant later, he was snatched back and shaken like a dog would do its favorite toy. “Take a hike.”

The human started to attack, until he caught sight of the man who’d grabbed him. That took every bit of bluster out of him and he quickly dashed away.

Not that Medea blamed him. This Were-Hunter was huge, even by their inhuman standards. Tall. Well-muscled. His caramel skin would make any woman’s mouth water. And to her instant horror, she wasn’t immune to his charms.

In fact, she was strangely breathless as her gaze went to a pair of silvery blue eyes that practically glowed. Between that and his black hair, she’d almost think him a Dream-Hunter. Indeed, his powers were strong enough to be godlike.

The air around her was rife with them. It crackled in a way that was reminiscent of Acheron Parthenopaeus— an Atlantean god who pretended to be a Dark-Hunter for reasons only he knew. More than that, she couldn’t even tell what breed this particular Were-Hunter belonged to. Bear, wolf, bird, lion, leopard, panther, tiger, dragon, jaguar, cheetah or jackal. He was that powerful.

“What are you?”

Falcyn felt an odd half smile curve his lips. A rare, rare thing for him. But then it’d been a long time since he’d seen a morsel as tasty as this one. Her white-blond hair was an unusual shade, but natural. And it contrasted sharply with her black eyes.

And she wasn’t just a Daimon. There was something a lot stronger inside her. Something he could taste and smell. The scent of it was like honey to his tongue.

“Hungry,” he whispered.

She actually rolled her eyes and stepped around him.

A sound rumbled out of him that was even more rare than his smile. Took him a few seconds to realize it was a laugh.

No one had ever been so dismissive of him. Mostly because he ate those idiots and picked his teeth with their bones. And before he even realized what he was doing, he was after her.

She paused in the crowd to turn around and glare at him. “Oh, I see. You’re a dog. Well, Fido, I’m sure there are some nice little humans over at the bar who’d like to take you home and pet you. I’m not one of them. So go on, boy.” She clicked her tongue like a human would do their pet or a stray they were trying to get rid of. “Go on! Shoo!”

As she started to leave, Falcyn licked his lips. “So you’re the queen bitch of the Daimons. They told me you were something else. But how many of them know you have demon blood inside you?”

She quirked a brow at his question, then gave him an insidious smile that made his cock jerk. “Before or after I kill them?” Her gaze narrowed as she swept a gimlet stare over him that said she was sizing him up for battle. “And you’re wrong about my title. The queen would be my mother.”

“Then what would that make you?”

“Daddy’s most precious little girl.”

He belly-laughed. Something that made every Were-Hunter near them step back and gape.

That finally took some of the bluster out of her as she caught sight of their uncharacteristic actions.

And fear. Especially since they never feared anything.

Except him.

“Who are you?” she asked with a note of reservation in her voice.

“Wrong question.”

“How so?”

“It’s not so much who am I … as what am I.”

Medea felt a tremor of fear finally roll down her spine. “You’re not one of them, are you?” The Were-Hunters had been created aeons ago by the king of Arcadia in a desperate attempt to save the lives of his sons from a curse placed upon their mother’s race by the Greek god Apollo— Medea’s own grandfather. Seeking to elongate the lives of his sons, the king had bargained with a Sumerian god to magically splice their DNA with animals.

It’d worked and the Sumerian god and Arcadian king had created two races of shapeshifters. Those who held human hearts, called Arcadians. Human in their base forms, they could take animal form. And the Katagaria who had animal hearts and were able to shift into humans.

The “man” in front of her shook his head slowly to indicate that he fell into neither group. As he said, he was something else entirely.

Yet he bore the scent of a Katagari warrior. An animal at heart and in base form. She knew the raw, preternatural musk that permeated their breed. It was unlike anything else in the world. And though tinged with something else, it was unmistakable.    

This wasn’t a man she was dealing with, but a creature of immense power.

“Like you, princess, I’m something much, much older that those half-Greek byblows… Deadlier. And unpredictable.”

“I know you’re not a god.”

He approached her slowly, and while it wasn’t in her to ever retreat, she found herself stepping back to keep from being overwhelmed by the sheer size of him. By the magnitude of his arcane powers that seemed to grow stronger the longer she was here.

“Nay, love,” he breathed in her ear with that deep, resonant baritone. “But there are things in this world that even the gods fear.”

And he was definitely one of them. She knew it with every single molecule of her being.

ツ : An OC you created that you are proud of?유 : A role-play related instance that you regret/are ashamed/not proud of?♂ : Do you have a role-play/writing routine? If so, what is it?♀ : A trope you catch yourself falling back too often?

I have lots of OCs that I’m very proud of, but the two I’m most proud of WoW wise are Zara and Falcyn (not yet introduced). Their stories are well thought out and have a lot of intricacies to them that I like.

I’m not proud of a couple of things. One of which is lashing out through my RP.

My routine varies, but usually I get home from work, change into PJs and then start writing or RP. I like to snack or eat while I write because it gives me energy.

Sometimes I catch myself always writing tragic backstories for my characters, mostly because it’s interesting and kind of fun to think of.

Betrayal. That was what the world had taught him. Just how black the souls of the rest really were. And how often others condemned innocent people for their own misdeeds, and rotten acts they couldn't stand about themselves. Because it was easier to see them in someone else and hate them for it than it was to hate yourself and go to the effort of tying to fix it. After all, people were less likely to see it in you if their attention was being diverted by the guilty pointing the finger of distraction toward those who couldn't even contemplarte the sins being cast upon them.

As I was re - reading Night Play, I always come back to the scene where Vane asked for dating advice from Julian and Kyrian. The two were not helpful at all. 😂
