Dammit :(( I'm really getting in to romantic books at the moment, because at least the main character will end up with the person I want lol

I remember not really liking it too much, especially because I don't really love Mal and Alina together.. Maybe it'll get better? *scared smile*

XD SAME you can't be disappointed on the romance front in romance books as much as you can be in fantasy

Same, those two are just so.... *gestures*....awful together

it's like they're siblings, and then they like love each other and whatnot, so I just don't know....I'm still holding out hope for Nikolai, but it seems bleak

Yeah exactly! I did like Mal at first, but I secretly liked the Darkling better, and then there was Nikolai and all hope for me liking Mal again was just lost looool. Let's just act like she ends up with Nikolai anyway :P

Of course. Like the unology. Or was it the one-and-a-half-ology?

Ahahahah exactly!! I believe it was an unology. Such a great book! Too bad there weren't any sequels ;)

(view spoiler)[ “Watch yourself, Nikolai,” Mal said softly. “Princes bleed just like other men.”
Nikolai plucked an invisible piece of dust from his sleeve. “Yes,” he said. “They just do it in better clothes.”
I am so madly in love with this guy. I feel like there's no way Alina will end up with him though.. I at least hope they get a moment where they kiss (not a fake kiss) though. Zoya appeared for a little while, she seems a bit nicer, not sure!
And what's up with her seeing the Darkling? Did he infest her somehow? Her thoughts are also turning darker, so I feel like he might have done something idk (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[ABSOLUTE SAME...yeah, I'm still hoping, but it seems like it's a long shot
I thought it might be something like their thoughts connecting or some shit, because remember she was feeling bad for the ....creatures? can't remember their name (hide spoiler)]

Ah yes! The volcra thingies! (view spoiler)[ That's quite a possible theory indeed! (hide spoiler)]

Man I hate Vasily, (view spoiler)[ but I laughed way too hard at this "I’d already punched one prince. What was one more? I was halfway out of my seat before Nikolai yanked me back down." (hide spoiler)]

The apparat guy is really weird too! Idk man, it is a bit slow, I'm kind of skipping over some parts now, like all of the descriptions and stuff

I get that, it was really slow paced.. Do you want to read the next one? I agree, I want to see the conclusion and more Nikolai (view spoiler)[, since we already know he survived, since he's back in Crooked Kingdom lol. (hide spoiler)] What do you mean with the alternative covers?

[Danique]

Finished,
(view spoiler)[ I did like the end more, it was a bit more fast paced. I'm not too sure what I think, idk. (hide spoiler)]

I'm so sorry, I just was busy with exams, but yes, I'll still be up for it...and if you've read it and are okay with just discussing, then I'll be up for that too!

Same, the end was the only fast paced thing about this whole book

[Trisha (semi-hiatus)]

Oops, I just saw you'd read the third one....would you still be up for discussing it? And King of Scars too?

No problem! I just couldn't wait lol, wanted to see how it would end!! I'd love to discuss it with you anyway :)

Definitely! I started on King of Scars, but I'm not far at all lol, I spend the whole day making fanart of the Darkling :P I must say I'm quite proud of how it's looking so far hihi

Wow! That sounds great! I've never drawn fanart though :)

[Trisha (semi-hiatus)]

Hey, should I get a thread for King of Scars as well?

Today is fine, I probably won't read that much a day, since my exams are coming up and I'm distracted by things I really don't need to be doing right now looool.

XD Me too!

[Aly]

I just found this! I'm almost done and I'm excited to talk with some people about it.
25% (view spoiler)[ I know the darkling is the villain, but I like him. Mal is not my favorite and I want Alina to be with someone else. I think the darkling does care for her, but maybe in a weird way.
Also, I'm not happy that Genya lied to Alina and was secretly on the darkling's side (hide spoiler)]

[Aly]

50% (view spoiler)[ I really like Nikolai. He's so funny and capable and it sucks that he's treated poorly by his brother. He'd be a better prince to the people. And of course Mal still sucks and is sulking (hide spoiler)]

Yeah, I'd take Nikolai or the darkling over Mal
