I have moved from chapter 9, however I don't know how much 😅 I started listening to it before my nap.. and obviously I fell asleep, and after that I decided to make my nap go into sleep.

Hey, have you started it?

I just finished chapter 9, maybe I'll read more later or maybe I'll try to make some progress on Legendborn.

I'm curious about Bernie Kosar, like there has to be a specific reason for his appearance.

Edit: I find it interesting that the author put himself as one of the Elders :D

It's no bug, at least not from you :D It's fixed now.

😂 I'm 27 so I also had more time to read more books (at least in theory, because I don't know how much you've read) and to make like.. levels (?) of how the writing is chill or more serious.

I mean that's what it reminds me of, and also there's the fact that I'm older so *shrugs*

It feels like something for teens. I feel like this is something I would've read and liked when I had 14, 15.

I read chapter 25.

Still liking it. I like the Arthurian mythology that's involved, however I think I don't gather the magic fully. I mean, I'm even confused if I understand it or not 😅 but either way I like it.

One other thing that I like, that makes the book feel more real and shows me to a small extent, because I haven't/can't be in that situation and feel like that, is how black people are treated. You can feel the discomfort and frustration, and anger.

I don't mind Nick, it's kinda cute that she's growing close to him. And for a change it's not the first guy, with dark vibes, that we meet that's the love interest, so I like that. However, I'm still leaning on the Sel side because of those vibes and nothing else. It's not like he appeared much in the half of the book that I read.
