I loved how Magnus told her about his grandfather, for a girl he hates, he's ra..."

Yeah, he's so cool. Despite being an asshole most of the time.

Gathering Darkness, Chapter 6

[ɑƨħŵɑɡ ♥Team Magnus Damora FOREVER♥]

Chapter 13 (view spoiler)[Amara and her brother are so suspicious.. I don't think Cleo will align with them (hide spoiler)]

I hope she doesn't.

[Eesh]

Chapter 16
(view spoiler)[I really don't like Lucia right now. Stupid, bratty and powerful is a horrible combination. (hide spoiler)]

[Eesh]

(view spoiler)[Just when I though Cleo had gotten smarter, she does this. *sigh* (hide spoiler)]

[ɑƨħŵɑɡ ♥Team Magnus Damora FOREVER♥]

Chapter 16 (view spoiler)[ the city in the Sanctuary is called Crystal City? Could book five's title be related to this city? (hide spoiler)]

Chapter 25 (view spoiler)[Cleo just got herself into this disaster. She could've been smarter about this (hide spoiler)]

Chapter 27 (view spoiler)[I love this chapter.. So intense! Cornus was written as this untouchable badass but when Magnus killed him.. Such a powerful scene (hide spoiler)]

[ɑƨħŵɑɡ ♥Team Magnus Damora FOREVER♥]

Ending (view spoiler)[so sad when Alexius was killed.. But this being who came back is interesting.. What's he up to? (hide spoiler)]

[Eesh]

(view spoiler)[
No idea what type of dude he is. Though he doesn't seem the tea party type. And, am I mistaken or did Lucia just go dark side?

And I wasn't as upset about Alexius. I kinda knew it was gonna happen. I was upset about Asher. I liked him. (hide spoiler)]

[Eesh]

Frozen Tides Chapter 3
(view spoiler)[Ugh! Kurtis is such an a-hole! I wanna hurt him. (hide spoiler)]

[Eesh]

Chapter 12
(view spoiler)[Is it just me, or has this series become tedious? I mean, stuff happens, but at the same time, nothing happens. (hide spoiler)]

[Eesh]

Chapter 13
(view spoiler)[My team's coming together! So happy about this! (hide spoiler)]

I'm not going to read this as it won't count for the challenge but I'll discuss it with you

(view spoiler)[The moment when they got together is definitely when things will start to run their way .. strength in unity or so I hope.. it did surprise me that Magnus was the one who initiated it, only shows he's the only one with a brain in his head xD (hide spoiler)]

[Eesh]

[spoilers removed]"

Yes! His brain is what makes him interesting.

[Eesh]

Chapter 22
(view spoiler)[It's surprising how similar Amara is to Magnus. Except she's not a very good person, easily manipulated and going at things the wrong, and murderous, way. I hope she gets better. Or dies. (hide spoiler)]

[Eesh]

Chapter 26
(view spoiler)[Throwing the kindred was a stupid thing to do, but I can't blame him for not trusting Cleo. The girl could give "the boy who yelled wolf" a run for his money. (hide spoiler)]

[Eesh]

The End
(view spoiler)[Not at all surprised by Ashur coming back. But very annoyed at the Theon's brother thing.
Also, I no longer like Nic. The self-righteous asshole. The Shit he's trying to pull makes him no better than Gaius's mother, or Gaius himself. (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[Yea I'm worried about that too! Lucia seems completely off, and I hope that doesn't backfire against Cleo. She's really growing on me. (hide spoiler)]

[Meaghan]

Quirks wrote: "Gathering Darkness Chapter 1

(view spoiler)[I'm wondering about that too! He seems nice so far, saving Jonas's life and all, but I'm really worried that's going to backfire. (hide spoiler)]

[Meaghan]

Quirks wrote: "Chapter 16
[spoilers removed]"

(view spoiler)[I completely agree! I liked Lucia at first, but if she continues to be like this, she's really heading down my list of favorite characters. (hide spoiler)]

[Meaghan]

ɑƨħŵɑɡ ♥Team Magnus Damora FOREVER♥ wrote: "Ending [spoilers removed]"

(view spoiler)[Yea I'm worried for Lucia! She's aligned so quickly with this guy, but there's got to be a reason he was locked into that amber! (hide spoiler)]

[Eesh]

(view spoiler)[ And this is where I listen to "See the World Burn" by Goran Dragas and Asja Kadric....because that song really fits this series, especially the last two endings. (hide spoiler)]

[Meaghan]

Hey guys! Finished Frozen Tides awhile ago, but was just able to update now!

[Meaghan]

Frozen Tides 3%
(view spoiler)[It was weird seeing Gauis as a normal child with actual fears and such, since he's so emotionless and brutal now. (hide spoiler)]

[Meaghan]

Frozen Tides 13%
(view spoiler)[The tension between Magnus and Cleo is rising! I wonder where this will lead! (hide spoiler)]

[Meaghan]

I finished Rebel Spring, so here are my updates:

Rebel Spring, 19%: (view spoiler)[ I love the rebel plot. It adds more to the story as a whole. I hope it gets even more interesting as the book progresses. (hide spoiler)]

Rebel Spring, 32%: (view spoiler)[ So Gaius wants to immortal to fulfil his prophecy. "The prophecy is that there would one day be a mortal king who would rule over this kingdom." She brushed her hands against the map of Mytica again. "One who would discover a great magic that would turn him into an immortal god. That he would rule his kingdom with a goddess as his queen. And that they would in turn rule everything, this world and all that lies beyond, and everyone, be they mortal or immortal, would bow before them. It is you, my King. And I shall be your queen." I hope that it doesn't come true. (hide spoiler)]

[Sharon]

Rebel Spring, 40%: (view spoiler)[ No, not Mira. Why did he have to break her neck? I loved her character. I can't believe she is gone. I feel bad for Magnus because he has to witness his father's ruthless ways. I bet he feels guilty because it was Cleo's friend and Nic's sister. So Sad!! (hide spoiler)]

Rebel Spring, 50%: (view spoiler)[ Okay. That kiss between Cleo and Jonas was really something. They look cute together as well. However, I am still holding onto the possibility of Magnus and Cleo being together. They are my favourite characters in the series. (hide spoiler)]

[Sharon]

Rebel Spring, 64%: (view spoiler)[ Cleo and Magnus are now a married couple. I think they will bond as the series goes on and will fall in love with each other. I hope that happens. They are my favourites. (hide spoiler)]

Rebel Spring, 80%: (view spoiler)[ I doubt that the kiss Magnus and Cleo shared will be the last kiss between them. I really want to see where their relationship goes from here. (hide spoiler)]

[Sharon]

Rebel Spring, 85%: (view spoiler)[ I feel bad for Jonas. He lost his brother, Tomas, and now he lost a friend in Brion. I just feel bad for the guy. He can't seem to catch a break. However, I think he needs a better plan. (hide spoiler)]

Rebel Spring, Ending Thoughts: (view spoiler)[ I loved this book. The ending was really amazing. I am so happy that Aron is dead. I never really liked his character. I thought he was a douche. I can't wait for the next book. Starting right now. (hide spoiler)]

[Sharon]

Gathering Darkness, Chapter 1: (view spoiler)[ I like Felix's character. However, I am wondering if he is trustworthy or not. I do not want to see Jonas suffer because he made a wrong decision. (hide spoiler)]

Gathering Darkness, Chapter 6: (view spoiler)[ I do not think it is wise for Cleo to get to know Lucia at this stage. Lucia is not stable with her magic. It might end up hurting Cleo in the end. (hide spoiler)]

Gathering Darkness, Chapter 7: (view spoiler)[ I feel bad for Alexius. Why did Melenia have to do that. Poor Danaus, to die in that way is so sad. Poor Alexius for having to watch it. (hide spoiler)]

[Sharon]

Gathering Darkness, Chapter 13: (view spoiler)[ I am not liking the vibe that I am getting from Amara and her brother. I am going to say that they are not trustworthy people. (hide spoiler)]

Gathering Darkness, Chapters 15-16: (view spoiler)[ I do not like what Lucia's character has become. I believe that she is making her character more unlikable now because she's acting like a complete brat! (hide spoiler)]

Gathering Darkness, Chapter 17: (view spoiler)[ I am liking how Magnus and Cleo are bonding. I think this will make their relationship stronger. Hopefully they get together by the end of this book. I am really hoping for it. (hide spoiler)]

Gathering Darkness, Chapter 18: (view spoiler)[ I do not like Amara. She seems manipulative. I hope she does not harm Cleo, or anyone else. (hide spoiler)]

[Sharon]

Gathering Darkness, Chapter 24: (view spoiler)[ Alexius told Lucia that he loved her. OMG!! That I was not expecting. (hide spoiler)]

Gathering Darkness, Chapter 25: (view spoiler)[ OMG! Cleo?! What's going to happen to Cleo? (hide spoiler)]

Gathering Darkness, Chapter 28: (view spoiler)[ I feel bad for Nic. Ashur and Amara are getting on my nerves. (hide spoiler)]
