Ahaha I love rereads as well and I'll add that one to my list

Eileen wrote: "Awesome! Let me know when you start Legendary! For now, I have two books I'm reading that I'm trying to finish (I'm always slower reading by myself than with an audio accompaniment because the audi..."

Ah easy! That actually sounds perfect!

Eileen wrote: "Yep, the ending is what made me glad I read it, but it was a close thing for a while there!"

Exactly! I was very very close to DNF'ing

Eileen wrote: "I'm not quite at the 50% point of Legendary. I'm probably going to take a break for a couple of days because I suddenly got two new ARCs that I want to get through, lol! Plus A Thousand Steps Into ..."

No worries and yeah I kind of fell back with the reading schedule but I'm hoping to catch up ASAP. I am almost finished with Caraval and I'm about to start Legendary now 😅

Where are you currently in the series?

Eileen wrote: "I feel like a good editor could have done wonders for the beginning."

Definitely in the beginning but the ending was fairly strong and it made up (somewhat) what the beginning lacked.

Eileen wrote: "Okay, I'm going to start reading Legendary, but I'm planning on moving slowly through it, so you can catch up. I didn't like Tella that much in the first book, and this second book seems to be focu..."

Oooh yes! That is a good sign. Tella was okay, I didn't mind her but I didn't love her either. I'm glad she is better understood in book 2

Oooh that sounds really good! I'll have a look at it!

Eileen wrote: "The struggle is real!"

It really is :')

Eileen wrote: "I'll be lucky if I get my TBR under 600 by the end of the year. Each time I get it under control, I keep on adding more books, ha ha! Although I have managed to get it down from 650 to around 622 s..."

Thank goodness! Honestly mine I can't even count because there's a lot haha!

Eileen wrote: "Heh heh heh, I KNOW that problem!"

Ahaha my TBR is just constantly staring at me like "when are you actually going to read me?" and honestly it'll probably be another 5 years XD

Eileen wrote: "It looks like I'll get the books in about a month, FWIW. :)"

Oooh nice! I already have the books they're just sitting on my shelves at the moment.

Eileen wrote: "Sounds like a good plan!"

Yay! I'm so excited!

Eileen wrote: "That would be fun! :) It's definitely more fun reading series with other people!"

Indeed! We can read those whenever you're free :)

Eileen wrote: "I haven't read Blood of Stars, but now I want to read it. I've requested it from my library, so I'm waiting to get it. :)"

Oooh yay! I've heard good things about it and am hoping to read it soon since I'm trying to read more mythology/fantasy this year. Maybe we should do a buddy read of this series together sometime? XD

Eileen wrote: "Yes, me too! FYI, I just finished Heat Wave and The Dragon’s Promise and while neither was as great as the previous book, I thought they were both solid conclusions ..."

Oooh I have an ARC of Heat Wave too but I haven't read it yet. I loved the Extraordinaries and I liked Flash Fire but probably not as much as book one. I'm so excited to read it though! I still need to read Six Crimson Cranes and the rest of the Blood of Stars Duology but they are on my TBR this year :D

Eileen wrote: "Yep, just let me know when you finish. I'm trying to catch up on ARCs, including one that was published this month. Although I didn't even get it until a few days ago, after the publication date! B..."

Ahhh I know the feeling! I have so many ARCs I need to get through myself! I'm glad we're making our way through our TBRs and through this series. I'm excited to make a start on Legendary :)

Eileen wrote: "Lots of what you said here totally resonated with me. The ending salvaged it a bit for me, but I felt much like what you said throughout the first 2/3rds of the book!"

Yeah I was very close to DNF-ing but I pushed through. I wish the start of the book was just as strong

Eileen wrote: "Okay, I couldn't help myself and I did finish the book tonight, but mums the word until you catch up, lol!"

Ahaha all good I'm still taking my time through this read but I'm really enjoying it. I'll hopefully finish soon so we can start Legendary together :)
