[Mirsada]

I would like to join you ladies as well, but I might read this one a bit slower than everyone else probably..hope thats ok?

[Ashlyn]

I'll join. I am really excited to read this book!

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

Yay! Welcome Idil, Mirsada and Ashlyn!

I'm really excited for this one too!

[Jenn]

I may join. depending on if I can get caught up on my other books. lol

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

I hope you can Jenn! I'm in the same boat! LOL

[Amanda]

Can't wait to start this tomorrow. I have enjoyed other books by this author and I hope that we like this one too :)

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

Ugh, I had to return my book 4 days ago and waiting to see if I get it before we start tomorrow.....Cross your fingers for me!!!

[Amanda]

Oh no, fingers crossed.

[Amanda]

5 chapters.

Tenley (view spoiler)[how awful that her parents have her put in this asylum type place just to force her into signing with the Myriad. Right now I am not certain which side would be better at this point neither sound appealing. Curious to see what happens. (hide spoiler)]

Bow (view spoiler)[I am finding Archer amusing when he is pretending to be Bow. I can't wait to see Tens reaction when she finds out who Bow really is. (hide spoiler)]

Killian (view spoiler)[I am not sure which boy to trust here at this moment. Both are trying to get her to sign with their side and seem to be willing to do whatever it takes. (hide spoiler)]

Interesting so far, but still trying to make sense of this world.

[Sarah | Kerosene.Lit]

I have this one ready to go, I'm just trying to catch up on some other books first. :D

[Amanda]

No worries. I am taking my time on this one :)

[Ashlyn]

I also have some other books I want to get caught up on first. I will try to start this soon.

[Amanda]

10 chapters.

Tenley (view spoiler)[wow the torturing that they use as a way to force them into signing with a side is crazy. How can her parents allow such treatment. I am glad that she escaped from the asylum. I am glad that she found some of the other prisoners. Maybe working together they can get away. I am surprised that Clay decided to sign so soon after escape though. (hide spoiler)]

Killian (view spoiler)[hmm I am still not sure about him. I don't like him working for a dark side and his first reaction to anything is violence. (hide spoiler)]

Archer (view spoiler)[I like his snarky comments, but I still am not sure if I trust him either. I am leaning towards liking Troika better than Myriad at this point. Both guys are trying to get Tenley to sign with their side so I still don't trust that either are being honest with their feelings towards her. (hide spoiler)]

[Amanda]

15 chapters.

Tenley (view spoiler)[I am starting to get frustrated with the whole can't pick a side theme going on here. It was interesting at first but I am hoping it's not the entire series we have to deal with her indecision. (hide spoiler)]

[Amanda]

20 chapters.

Tenley (view spoiler)[so much happened in a short span of chapters, her mother dies as well as her newborn brother. A sad decision she had to make to have her brother sent to Troika for his afterlife while her mothers afterlife will be spent in Myriad. Then she is whisked away by someone who claims that her daughter fused with Tenley. This world is just strange and I'm still trying to make complete sense of it. (hide spoiler)]

[Sarah | Kerosene.Lit]

Chapter 1 - Chapter 5

(view spoiler)[I am enjoy this, but the world is incredibly confusing. I'm just not understanding why Ten won't make a decision. Whatever she chooses, she will be stuck there forever, am I correct? I suppose that is a good reason to delay her choice. But, her situation now isn't that great, either. Either Myriad or Troika seem fine to me? I'm not understanding the problem with choosing lol? Also, why is each side fighting so hard for her? What makes her that much more special than anyone else?

@ Amanda: I read your spoiler section for chapter 5, and I feel like an idiot. I totally missed that Bow is Archer. I was sitting here reading, wondering when he was going to make an appearance. LOL *slaps hand over head* (hide spoiler)]

[Jenn]

just bought this book and am planning on starting tomorrow. I hope it's good

[Amanda]

I agree (view spoiler)[this world is so confusing and I don't understand why she won't pick a side either. It took me a bit to figure out Bow was Archer too, lol. (hide spoiler)]

[Amanda]

Finished.

Tenely (view spoiler)[well I am glad that she finally picked a side I would hate if that dragged out in the next book as well. Shocked that Sloan betrayed her. (hide spoiler)]

I didn't like this too much by the end. I enjoyed it in the beginning but my interest wavered by the end.

[Sarah | Kerosene.Lit]

It's been such a busy week! I'm finally catching up.

Chapter 15

(view spoiler)["You know your answer, so grow a pair of balls and accept it. Stop wasting our time."

Haha, such a perfect quote for this entire book. I STILL don't understand why she can't pick a side. Even after her death experience!!! It's so frustrating! The world is still confusing to me. Why are people not wanting to die left, right, and center if the Everlife promises such great things?

I'm not really sure which boy I like more. Honestly, they are both yawn-worthy. If I had to choose, I guess I like Killian more.

While in Prynne, why is every single guard a pig? Every single threat was in a sexual manner. It was a bit much. (hide spoiler)]
