Sorry guys that I'm not commenting or answering comments (I saw it Bopeep), but I'm so busy right now that I just can't 😭 But I'll read through it.

Finally started this while I was on the bus, but haven't made much progress (finished ch15). I like that the chapters are short. I kinda forgot the game details they've discovered in the first book 😅 but it's all right, I'll get it when I read more of it.

Nooooo Juliane 😂 That is not good. King of Scars has characters from both series, S&B and SoC, and it is set in time after those books..

If nothing else it's good you read the S&B books because a lot of people just skip them because they are not as good. Which okay I understand it, I wasn't impressed with them when I read them, but they weren't bad. HOWEVER S&B is playing a big part in understanding what's happening in KoS, and of course when you read KoS you know the characters and see their development.

@Edith
Yes! I'm glad you are going to read them in that order because things are connected, and it's so nice to know why some things are happening the way they are. On another note because I just can't NOT comment on it... I can't wait for you to see Zoya's growth.

Are you guys planning on reading the Six of Crow duology? I would recommend reading that, and then the King of Scar books.

I really enjoyed reading your comments :D

I haven't started it because I didn't want to read it alone 😂 and I can't start it now because I don't have the book with me. Hopefully will start it in a few days so that we can discuss it.

@Bopeep
Great, then that's when I'll try to start it too 😃

Where are my sequel readers? Is there a date you are planning on reading this or...? Because I would like to read it along with someone and discuss.
