😂 I totally forgot about that spoiler. I skipped it first because I wasn't at that chapter.. and then I just forgot.

I'm glad you are enjoying it. I still haven't moved to Act III. I was social today so that took a bit of my time, plus I want to do some mod stuff now. But *fingers crossed* that I read at least a few chapters later.

Ch 10. So, the past is set in Canaan House, and that sounded familiar and I looked it up, and it is mentioned in Gideon. It's the place where both of them, Gideon and Harrow, went with all other Houses. I had to look up the characters being mentiuoned because I don't remember them, but they are from Gideon.. So.. why is Harrow having like false memories/happenings? She went to Canaan House with Gideon not Ortus (I looked up what happened with him and he escaped from the Ninth House planet or whatever it is AND died) what is going on?
Whetever it is I'm enjoying it.

The Eggs note appears again, and with more in it.. Now that I know, well assume, that the past things we are seeing are false.. is the note maybe her sub-conscious trying to break her fake reality?

Ch 15. The dead corse of the Locked Tomb—the death of the Emperor—the maiden with the sword and the chains, the girl in the ice, the woman of the cold rock, the being behind the stone that could never be rolled away
Did you catch this? She refers to The Body as the death of the Emperor. Could The Body be one of the things the Lyctors are afraid and running from?

Ch 18. Oooh, the Sleeper has the sword Harrow has to carry with her, at least I assume because it's a two-hander too.

Ch 19. I just registered that in first book the person in Canaan house that helped them or whatever was "called" Teacher.. Was it the same person that they call Teacher now or not? Gosh, not remembering the first book hasn't proven as much of a problem for other books, but this one..

I finished chapter 22.

I fell asleep half-way through chapter 9 last night so I'm catching up today.

People having more titles is just killing me 🙃

Chapter 3? Yeah that was a major what the fuck? But also I think I've seen/heard about it so I wasn't as shocked as I would've been otherwise.

I'll read tomorrow and try to catch up to you.

Hey, did you read more of the book? I made priority some other books but my hands are itching to pick this one up, so I'm gonna read a bit over the weekend.

My audio shows me how long the chapters are, and that's usually what I check first 😂 I need motivation to continue and slow chapters are a win. I have jet to pick it up today, but I hope to at least get where you are at.

I caught it because second person narrations irk me a bit, but it is a nice way of splitting the story.

Ch 4.. I remember nothing 😅
Ch 5 as I said.. I remember nothing. I'm like proud that I know who the MCs were in the previous books (Gideon and Harrow), but things beyond that..as I'm reading this I'm thinking how the hell will I read the third book. Since that's next year, maybe I'll reread all of them.

I'm with you on the last. I'm getting more into the story, and I enjoyed what I read last night, so I'm looking forward to reading it today. Also, love that we mostly have short chapters till the end, only chapters 29 and 49 are longer, especially 49.

So, what are your thoughts, any theories about things?

I loved listening to this book 😄 the writing was just *chef's kiss* for me. I've read some of her other books and, if I recall good. this book doesn't have the same vibe. (Either way, if you like Addie or not, you guys should check some of her other books)

Hi, just wanted to check in. How is the book going?
