I'm hoping to finish
An Immense World: How Animal Senses Reveal the Hidden Realms Around Us before the end of the challenge, which is a BOTM.

That sounds like a good idea - enough time to get a few more words but also make sure everyone’s books are posted.
Chapter 42 - Epilogue
(view spoiler)[ Heidi was finally introduced, but so briefly that it doesn't really count. I'm wondering if the next book is going to be about her.
I don't care for gods in books, but the (too) short scene when Maven's soul goes to Paradise could have been fun. I really didn't like how Maven asks what her blood oath is when she's there, her mother says that she should have her memories back by now, and Maven suddenly realises that she does.
This series was fine, but the pace wasn't for me and I wanted to see more of the side characters.

Chapters 28 - 41
(view spoiler)[ The guys retrieving Maven’s heart was fun.
Once again, Maven’s idea to kill the Entity sounds like something they want to do quickly and yet three quarters of the book later and there’s no plan or even any brainstorming for how to do it.

Chapters 14 - 27
(view spoiler)[ I kind of wanted more detailed scenes describing Everett’s parents’ death.
Everett’s sister is either alive or she’s the ghost that helped Maven get free.
Douglas’ reaction to finding out about Maven makes me wonder if he’s her brother.

Prologue - Chapter 13
(view spoiler)[ I’m disappointed that 6 months were skipped and a lot was from Maven’s POV at the beginning. Also, I don’t really care for gods in books and Maven’s amnesia is annoying.

Chapters 31 - 41
(view spoiler)[ So did Maven agree to be tested like this at some point and then the memory was wiped? Or is it because she’s the reaper goddess’ daughter?
I really want to see the guys’ perspectives when Maven died and how they deal before Maven appears again. This reminds me of something that happens in the Night Huntress series, which I liked and wanted more details on.

Chapters 21 - 30
(view spoiler)[ I’m excited to see more of Baelfire’s family and their interactions with Maven and the quintet.
Douglas seems important because he’s being kept alive so I’m curious if maybe he’s part of Kenzie’s quintet.
I really want to see Maven when she goes berserk and how the guys are going to react in that situation.

Chapters 11 - 20
(view spoiler)[ So is Maven a goddess? Or somehow linked to the reaper goddess? I don’t really know what a saint is or how it differs.
The slow pace isn’t helped by the constant reminders of the deadline Maven’s mission has and that there will be consequences if she doesn’t succeed and then they just wait some more or take a break.
I like the idea of them being with the Garnet Wizard but I doubt that there’re going to be many scenes of them interacting with the people there.

Prologue - Chapter 10
(view spoiler)[ The pace is still kind of slow - they’re supposed to be hiding and Maven wants to find the element needed to kill the rest of the Immortal Quintet but it’s just more waiting. I’m curious to find out about what just happened but I feel like straight after that reveal it’s going to go back to them pausing their plans and waiting around.
I feel like this happens often in reverse harem for me which is that it’s feels like the guys that aren’t the best usually bond with the woman first. I’m not against Silas, but I’m not a fan that he’s bonded to Maven first and that it means that they’re closer than the rest of the guys.

Chapters 27 - 35
(view spoiler)[ Did Pia know Maven's mother? Or maybe Lillian? Also, it said that it's dangerous for a caster to turn into a necromancer, but what difference is it going to make to Silas' magic?
I'm wondering if Engela is going to be the one that's going to be kept alive. I feel like she could be working against her quintet.

Chapters 18 - 26
(view spoiler)[ I still feel like Everett is the weak link - he could tell his family that Maven is the telum.
I’m not sure what the plan is after the mission. Let the creatures from the Nether invade the planet? Will Maven’s quintet become the new version of the Immortal Quintet? What’s Pia’s idea/part in this?
Kenzie appeared again for a second but it was too short.
(hide spoiler)]["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>

Chapter 18 is exactly why I like Crypt and the others are fine but annoying.
Chapters 9 - 17
(view spoiler)[ More things are becoming clear about Maven and I know that they have to do other things too but their search for Kenzie doesn’t seem very urgent, especially with all the breaks they take. I want Crypt to get back and hopefully to see Maven and the guys interact with Kenzie and her quintet.
Wasn’t Harlow the one who invited Maven to the secret anti-legacy meeting? Why did she tell the changeling to use Kenzie? If she’s also the one who ordered it to kill the headmaster, why?
