7/5 sounds really good! I'll make the thread if you want!! :)

Vicki!! Trust me we'll be here when you want to discuss, because OMG!!! It's completely CRAZY GOOD this book!! :D

[Ally]

That works perfectly! I think I want to reread Shadow and Bone before Siege and Storm, and this gives me time. AH I CAN'T WAIT!

Also, the prequel/bonus stuff before and in between Siege and Storm is worth checking out. The prequel is unrelated to Shadow and Bone, but very creepy and cool! I recommend that everyone reads them before Siege and Storm!

[Kathy]

Awesome! I'll do that now!

Ally thanks I'll have to take a look those! :)

Be careful, Vicki - you're going to get to a certain point and not be able to stop reading! You'll definitely finish by the 5th

[Vicki]

Lol I hope you're right Ally!

[Kathy]

Yes Vicki! It's pretty fast paced in the beginning, but then you hit a certain point and that's when it hits the fan and it hits turbo speed or something! lol :)

[Vicki]

Haha! Turbo speed? Sounds good!

I just started this afternoon and it's so hard to put down it's action packed from the start. I am 6 chapters in so far.

Alina (view spoiler)[ I love her so far she has a strong personality (hide spoiler)]

Mal (view spoiler)[ I like him so far, I hope that he shows up again later in the book (hide spoiler)]

Darkling (view spoiler)[ he is such an interesting character so far. I can't wait to learn more about him (hide spoiler)]

[Amanda]

13 chapters in so far

Zoya (view spoiler)[I hate this character so much. I want to smack her.She is so nasty, she deserved to be yelled at by Darkling (hide spoiler)]

The Priest (view spoiler)[I don't know about this guy. Is he a character that can be trusted I am not sure yet. (hide spoiler)]

Alina (view spoiler)[so glad that she had a break through and was able to call the light on her own. I feel bad for her though that it took Mal ignoring her letters to do so though. They have been friends for a while and it's sad that he can't reply to her letters. What happened to what he said about it always being them together? (hide spoiler)]

Genya (view spoiler)[I really like her she is such a good friend (hide spoiler)]

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

LOL! Zoya! Ugh, she sucks. I agree!!!

I know, Genya. There is a short .5 novella that is from her POV. Can't wait for you to read that one :)

Alina (view spoiler)[ I know, when she was finally able to push it and call the light on her own!!
(hide spoiler)]

but really Mal?? (view spoiler)[ Not one letter :*( (hide spoiler)]

[Kathy]

I'm so glad you liking this one Amanda!

Alina is so awesome!

Yeah Mal (view spoiler)[ Not one letter! I questioned his loyalties too! (hide spoiler)]

Zoya (view spoiler)[ She's right at the top of my Top 10 characters I want to B**** Slap List! Hate her! (hide spoiler)]

[Ally]

LOL Kathy I'd love to see the rest of that list!

[Kathy]

Amanda don't hit the spoiler!! You aren't there yet!

Ally! There are quite a few characters on there! I actually have 2 lists! That one for people that really tick me off and the Top 10 characters I want to Head Slap! For characters that annoy me! For instance Mal is on the second list for (view spoiler)[ No letter! And for yelling at her when they saw each other for the first time since she was taken away!!! (hide spoiler)]

Thanks for the heads up I will check the spoiler link when I finish the book :)

[Kathy]

You're welcome! I don't remember what chapter that was in, but I knew you weren't there yet. :)

[Amanda]

Finished, I loved this book it was so good. Quite a page turner.

Darkling (view spoiler)[I liked him in the beginning I did not see any of that coming that he was actually evil and that Baghra was his mother (hide spoiler)]

Mal (view spoiler)[I was so mad at him for not returning the letters, but since he seemed to be telling the truth about never getting them I can forgive him for that. I loved that he was the one that found Alina and helped her escape. I also liked that he finally realized what he had standing in front of him all along. Too bad it took Alina getting taken away for him to realize that (hide spoiler)]

Genya (view spoiler)[ I like to think that they really are friends and that it was not all a lie. Too bad that she believes in the Darklings lies.

What an ending to this book I cannot wait to read the next book. (hide spoiler)]

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

Yay!!! I'm so glad you loved it! Can't wait to read the next one!!!

[Amanda]

I can't wait to read the next one either :)

[Kathy]

Yay!! Me too! So excited! :)
