julia’s comments from the Addicted to Reading! group.

Bee, i also really liked the line about Vivi and Madoc. Vivi tries so hard not to be like him, but in this big way they are similar. and i also love the scenes with Jude and Cardan! her comebacks are great.

when Jude first became a spy for Prince Dain i wasn't sure how i felt. i think it will be exciting to see Jude in her new role, and see how she manages it, but i don't know a lot about Dain and i'm not sure if she should trust him

ahh i forgot to say how much i loved/hated Cardan in chapter eleven. when he pricked Jude's finger i was legit squealing inside. what does everyone think so far about Cardan? and about him and Jude?

just finished 15! omgggg okay when Jude found the paper where Cardan wrote her name a lot:
me (with pretty much NO EVIDENCE): omfggg he's in love
me: enemies to lovers, am i right?
me: go on, Cardan, just freaking kiss her already, you *clearly* love her xD
Jude: he hates me so much and i hate him and i never knew *just how much* he hated me

so that's where i'm at XDDD

back to chapter eleven... ughh that was awfully bad second hand embarrassment and i felt so bad for how they were taking advantage of Jude and making her act like someone she would despise. that scene solidified my already deep hatred for Valerian.

i'm not sure what to think about Locke. he seems very sweet, but doesn't put a stop to things until they start getting out of hand. he has had many chances to make Jude's life better, at least a little, and it's taken him a long time to act. it's so cute when they're together though, even though i'm shipping Jude pretty hard with the person she hates... oops. i also had the feeling Taryn would wed Locke... uh-oh.

this is pretty long now, but there are a few more things i want to say. first, that passage where Jude was looking at the beautiful piece of fabric and thinking about all of the bad things that happen to princesses, the kind of people who wear that fabric. and right while she was thinking that is when Taryn asks for that fabric... it feels ominous. Taryn's interesting. i wish she would stand up for herself more instead of trying to gain everyone's approval.

second, JUDE IS AMAZING!!! i love her sm and she is such a strong character.

third, it kind of made me sick to think about how the Faeries treat humans in the palace and the other building when Jude had to sneak in. i hate that they are using humans like that and being so cruel.

saaaame i can't wait :)

great! :)

sorry i meant that in order to make a section/topic on goodreads, like a section for the next chapters, i need to write in the first comment so i can start the chat. i'm still around chapter eleven, but this is in case other people are ahead of me :)

i need to comment in order to make a topic :P

i was also surprised! i guess it makes sense, though. Jude could never have a normal life living in Faerie as a human and with her personality. i think Cardan also isn't used to people seeing through him/not being in love with him, so when Jude is able to stand up to him it intrigues him. that could definitely be true about Locke... he sometimes seems nice in more of a pitying way, but hopefully he'll prove me wrong.

yeah, i liked that line about how Taryn wasn't the only one who planned to fall in love. it was set up nicely.

the lie thing! yes! and how lying is such an impressive thing to Faeries

i find the whole group dynamic interesting (with Cardan's group). Cardan seems really mean, but his relationship with Jude is an interesting one, and whenever they talk he seems to act differently around her than other people. Locke does seem like the nice one, although he never stops things at the beginning, but lets them play out a bit. plus Jude kind of likes him, although i'm i interested to see where that goes xD the others in the group i already hate, especially Valerian. i like seeing the different social groups/castes in Faerie and how they interact

YES Jude!! that was amazing haha, probably my favorite part so far.

i like having it through Jude's perspective because her not fitting into the world makes her describe things with a sense of awe and it really makes the world come alive

Molli, i agree, it definitely did get dark, but i love it so far

i feel like Locke is going to be a good character! he seems pretty cool, but, uh, hasn't really done much so far

btw i love the names in this book, especially Taryn :)

ahhhhhh i love this book so far!! yes, i'm only on chapter six. but i really enjoy reading it.

so far, i like Jude a lot, and like hearing the story through her perspective. i can't wait until she has more scenes with Cardan, though! those have been my favorite. and speaking of him... yeah he's a jerk and i hate how mean he is to Jude and her sister. but he's honestly my favorite character so far XDDD

@BookLover, i really like faerie worlds and haven't read many books with them, so i was interested in that. also i have heard about of LOT of people who are in love with Cardan (not just Bee lol) and wanted to meet him for myself haha. mostly it's been the positive reviews and fantasy world that it's set in!

Mollie, there isn't really a schedule, so feel free to join whenever you'd like! :)
