* I was shocked that Manon's coven sacrificed themselves and died. I really didn't expect it.

* I'm at the part where Aelin is opening the gate, and jeez I'm 150 pages away from the end and it feels like too much. I guess there are more things that need happening. Also, it feels a bit anticlimactic that from the beginning they are looking for the keys to close the doors, send the gods to wherever, aaaaand she just sends them, they screw her over, then she screws them over. I don't know, a tad disappointed.

*It's interesting that she's going through the worlds Maas created, I liked that touch.

I finished chapter 64.

Since I'm reading it over a longer time period, and had a small pause in reading, I don't remember having anything to comment or add. Things are happening, but yeah, too many pages for not that much?

* I'm happy Lorcan and Elide sorted things out :D
* Aelin collecting her magic or whatever for 3 months is crazy. A great move, that shocked Rowan, but also that fact that she had a super smart plan irks me a bit. From the beginning of the series I know that I was annoyed whenever boom she had an amazing idea, a grand plan, and of course no one knew about because she didn't tell anyone, but it saved their asses in the end. I don't know just feels like "ha, I'm SO smart and no one is this cunning like me", and she has what 20ish years? Maybe it irks me that full of her self act when she's that young + we have faes that are hundreds of years old and she's smarter than them.

Yes, you can count it :D

Hi :D
There was a mistake in the formula, fixed it. Hopefully it's all good now.

You can nominate as many books as you'd like. Just include the title/author or a link to the book by using the "add book/author" tool. If there is a nominated book that you'd like to read, simply state that you also vote for that book.

You can check on this thread to see what books we have read so far.

Anyone can nominate as many books as you'd like and look for a buddy! Any book that gets two nominations or more will have a buddy thread created for discussion during August. Please decide your start date and reading pace/reading goals in this thread. Once that has been decided, the mods will create a Buddy Read Discussion thread for that title.

Just poping in to say that I'm on vacation and I'm not able to listen to it much. I don't remember on what chapter I'm on, but it's close to 40.

Chapters 21-24
- Glad they found some allies in Doranelle.
- Woop Dorian changed his eyes, he did it.. I don't know what that means, but he succeeded.

I'm on 200 pages of my book, and...it's too many pages for nothing much to be real.

ch20 (view spoiler)[ Meave's idea to slowly, in a nice way, make Aelin tell where the keys is genius. I thought if she did it over a longer time she could've twisted Aelin's believes who is who, and what's the end goal. (hide spoiler)]

There probably needs to be a few more inconsistencies for Aelin to put the pieces together. She already saw Maeve not bleeding red, but for now she's writing it off as her mind playing tricks.

I think the previous books too had that, too many pages to.. do I don't know what.

Read chapter 16
(view spoiler)[Well, it would seem that the action is starting. I mean, I don't really have anything to say about Manon and the 13 finding the Crocans, and the battle.. her decision was risky, it brought a few deaths, I get why, but so far it doesn't look like it bought the Crocans.

Why is Darrow commanding Aedion? That's something I don't remember. (hide spoiler)]

@Sophie
Aedion feels betrayed that Lysandra didn't tell him about the plan she and Aelin made, that Lys shifts into Aelin.

I haven't really been reading after the last book, well books, so if I don't remember something it's because I have a bad memory.
So far I don't have anything to comment.
