sure! =)

[Novel]

I've been busy reading other books that's why I only read the first 3 chapters last night. I still find Celaena's character refreshing because she's so bad ass.

[Mishma]

Just started. This book reminds me of Poison Study.

I haven't read that book yet, is it also about assassins?

[Mishma]

It's not about assassins. But the story line is similar. It's a great book.You should go for it.

[Kindle25]

Hahaha. I've been reading the novellas first to get a background :)

I actually haven't read a single novella from this series. =/

[Kindle25]

I think it's okay since they're just supplements to the story. :D
Are you done reading this? Will start tonight... I will just finish the Throne of Glass novella #0.2... Haha

[Mishma]

I got held up.Just remembered an assignment.
I think I am going to sacrifice today's sleep for this.

[Kindle25]

@Mishma, It's okay, no pressure... (Well, I think we all sacrifice sleep sometimes for a great book :D)

@Novel, I thought you're done since you already have a rating. Hehe. :D

I did that last night and I don't think I can do that again tonight, I don't want to scare my patients with my gigantic eyebags. haha

[Kindle25]

@novel, ahhhhh... hehe. oks got it! :D

Tell me about it.Sometimes when I go to school in the morning I look like a drug addict because of reading all night.I have bags enough to hold my mother's grocery shopping under my eyes:)

[Kindle25]

I just finished reading the 4 novellas for the Throne of Glass and what I can say is that (view spoiler)[It's such a heartbreaking story... I'm still in shock right now...I want to kill Arobynn so bad and to shake Celaena to her senses...I can't sleep. I kept thinking about Sam. About Arobynn's continuous betrayal...About Celaena's arrogance, her trust in Arobynn which just keeps on biting her in the face... Celaena has a very painful past...I just hopes she'll learn her lesson... (hide spoiler)]

Oooh, good thing I didn't read the novellas then. In which chapter are you now in ToG?

[Kindle25]

I'm at Chapter 36...

[Mishma]

Celaena is really a different type of heroine.She's arrogant and feels upset when someone else steals the spotlight.And that's why I love her a lot.

[Kindle25]

Done with the book.

[Mishma]

How was it?Since I am reading three books at the same time,it's taking me some more time.

[Kindle25]

Hmmm... I kinda have mixed feelings about the book... :|

[Novel]

Kindle25 wrote: "Hmmm... I kinda have mixed feelings about the book... :|"

Aww, i'm sorry you didn't enjoy it much. =(

[Kindle25]

Yeah.. I was so disappointed... :(

[Novel]

Kindle25 wrote: "Yeah.. I was so disappointed... :("

why?

[Kindle25]

(view spoiler)[Celaena did not live up to my expectations. She was/is the best assassin in Adarlan but she can't handle the king??? Why is she so intimidated by him? At the end, she could have just killed the king if she wanted to or something.. I don't know why she would submit herself to that man. (hide spoiler)]

[Mishma]

So team Chaol or Dorian?

[Novel]

Kindle25 wrote: "[spoilers removed]"

I understand what you mean, that's exactly what I've thought about in book one. However, when I started reading book 2 I began to understand Celaena's fear. It has something to do with magic and black mail. =/

[Novel]

Mishma wrote: "So team Chaol or Dorian?"

I like Dorian because it seems like he genuinely likes Celaena and he was really falling for her BUT, their situation is not very ideal because she's going to be a servant of the crown and he's a prince. Chaol is kinda oblivious about his feelings for Celaena and I really hope that it will be explored in the next book. So, I really couldn't choose which team, I just wish that Celaena gets the man that she deserves. =)

[Mishma]

I am team Chaol.I love his and Celaena's banter.I hope they have more romance in book two.

i'm reading book 2 now and I think she's getting more attached to Chaol.

Really?That's great.I love them together.
I'll see whether I can get a copy of the book.

I'm team Chaol :)

[Tati]

Yay!! I'm really hoping this is a good one!

[Tati]

Loved the beginning! This one is very promising!

[Tati]

I am really loving this book! Seriously pushing for 5 stars!

I never really cared for assassins, but Celaena is awesome!

[Tati]

Finished! What an amazing story! I really didn't expect it to be this good!

[Alley]

When everyone is done, could the date been changed to the 22nd?

[Tati]

Alley, I'm done, and I'm afraid I ended up reading it alone, so please feel free to ask one of the mods to change the date for you.

[Cam *tactile seeker*]

We're restarting this book today, feel free to join me and Alley.

[Cam *tactile seeker*]

Ok, I'm ready, I'm drinking a cup of tea, eating chocolate cookies. Everything's perfect.
I'm officially starting Throne of Glass.

[Cam *tactile seeker*]

5%: Nice beginning, Celaena looks amazing.
I wish more YA's heroine could be like her.
Also, a Competion?! And she's probably the only girl?
Love this.

[Cam *tactile seeker*]

11%: It's rather odd for such a skilled assassin to be concerned about the size of her breasts and her appearance in general.

[Cam *tactile seeker*]

There's no point for me to keep posting updates about the book, since I'm the only one reading it.
So I'll just keep reading by myself, which was the reason why I looked for someone to do it with in the first place.

Ho perso le speranze.

[Tati]

Yeah, the same thing happened with me, with this same book. Maybe it's cursed? LOL

But for me, the thing with her being worried about her breasts and all made sense for me, as she is still a teenager, in spite of all she's gone through.

[Cam *tactile seeker*]

Ahahahah, who knows? It could be.
I know and your explanation makes sense, but still, it was kind of confusing at the beginning.
Now I'm at 25% and I understand her more, how her childhood was stolen and how she had go grow up so fast, she didn't have time to behave more like a girl and less like a detached assassin.
