[Ashlyn]

Please join Vicki and I!

[Vicki]

I've wanted to read this one forever!

Thanks for making the thread.

[Ashlyn]

This has been on my TBR list for like three years. I think the cover looks really pretty.

[Vicki]

It's been on my TBR shelf since Feb. 2014. LOL

[Ashlyn]

I have you beat then. Mine has been there since July 2013. :)

[Vicki]

Haha...good job! :o)

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

This is a very good, unique story. I loved the whole series
I hope you guys enjoy it!

[Vicki]

Thank you, Trisha.

[Jessie (Saffity)]

Definitely a series I recommend. I grabbed these books because of their covers, and then read the whole series in a weekend because it's that good! I hope you guys enjoy it!

[Vicki]

That's good to know, Jesse. Thanks!

[Ashlyn]

Chapter 6

This is really good so far. I don't think I have read a book in a world set like this before, and it is really interesting.

Li (view spoiler)[ Is really mean! I can't believe she would treat her own daughter that way, but she is probably sad about Ciana. (hide spoiler)]

Ana (view spoiler)[I don't think she would just be here for one lifetime if everyone else is there forever. She should listen to what Sam is telling her and just try to decide who she is, not search for herself. (hide spoiler)]

Sam(view spoiler)[ Wouldn't he be with someone after so many years? It just seems like he would have found the person he loves by now, not stay by himself in his cottage all alone. (hide spoiler)]

[Vicki]

Yay! I'm glad you like it so much! I'll start this one tomorrow. It's only 9:30 here but I fell asleep on the couch and I am just so wiped out. Been a LONG week!

[Ashlyn]

Chapter 13

It is still really good. I'm not really sure where the story is going though.

Tower(view spoiler)[ It's kind of weird that only Ana feels something wrong with the tower. I wonder what is in it. (hide spoiler)]

The Council (view spoiler)[ It seems like Li influenced the council into thinking Ana is bad, so they are kind of out to get her. I don't think they will let her go to the party. (hide spoiler)]

[Vicki]

Ch. 6

Li (view spoiler)[ even if she didn't understand why she had a nosoul child, she should never have treated her that way. She is the one who got pregnant and your child is yours no matter. None of us are promised a "normal" child. Ugh...awful "mother." (hide spoiler)]

Ana (view spoiler)[is pretty gutsy. I agree with you that she must have a special purpose for not being a reborn. She should have the same opportunity as others so perhaps she will be a reborn and/or start a new species, so to speak. (hide spoiler)]

I have never read a book with a world like this either that I can recall. I personally don't believe in reincarnation but it's a different world and an interesting concept with (view spoiler)[ EVERYONE being a reborn. But WHY would Ana not be like the others? I'm thinking she has a special purpose. (hide spoiler)]

Li (view spoiler)[ I agree that she is an awful mother. She should not have treated Ana the way she did. (hide spoiler)]

I also don't believe in reincarnation, but it is a very interesting book.

How are you liking it so far?

[Ashlyn]

Chapter 23

Sam(view spoiler)[ I can't believe he is under arrest! I think Meuric might be the one who tried to kill Ana. (hide spoiler)]

My husband is yelling at me to come eat, so I will post more in a bit.

[Ashlyn]

Chapter 23

Li (view spoiler)[Do you think she is out to get Ana? Why would she continue to lie to her and upset her even though she doesn't live with her anymore? (I'm referring to the market incident.) (hide spoiler)]

I am interested to see (view spoiler)[where Ana's dad is at. I feel like maybe he is part of the reason why Ciana didn't come back, and Ana came in her place.

And who took the books from the library. (hide spoiler)]

[Vicki]

We just got back from dinner and I have about 20% left in my other book!! Then I'll get back to this.

[Ashlyn]

Finished

I thought this was a great book. It was a very interesting topic.

Li(view spoiler)[ I can't believe she was killed like that. I mean she was really mean, but she should have at least died fighting or something, especially since she is never coming back. (hide spoiler)]

Newsouls(view spoiler)[ I am assuming the next book will involve more of them. I wonder who all died for them to come about. (hide spoiler)]

Ana amd Sam(view spoiler)[ I am glad they are both okay. I wonder what is going to happen on Soul Night. Will all of the previous souls come back? (hide spoiler)]

Let me know if you want to read the next one in the series.

[Vicki]

I'm glad you liked it so well! I'm reading it and a couple others. So I'll be slower getting done.

[Vicki]

Sorry, I missed your question above. I really like it a lot so far! :)

[Vicki]

This story is so well-written. I love it so far!

Sam (view spoiler)[has been nothing but good to her so far. I'm at the part where they just arrived in Heart and Ana isn't allowed to go in. I don't know what's going to happen but Sam isn't hearing it!! LOL He was SO sweet to read to her for so long as to get hoarse. He is very attentive and caring. (hide spoiler)]

Ana (view spoiler)[on the other hand has really been rude and kind of mean to Sam, but I guess it's understandable since she's never known love. How sad is that, that her mother would have told her things like she couldn't heal from Sylph burns and she doesn't have a soul. I think Sam is right and she DOES have a soul. (hide spoiler)]

[Ashlyn]

Sam(view spoiler)[ He is very caring of Ana. I like the fact that he always calls her a newsoul, not a nosoul. (hide spoiler)]

Ana(view spoiler)[ I don't like how Li raised her. I couldn't imagine being told that I wasn't allowed to feel emotions. (hide spoiler)]

[Ashlyn]

Vicki, are you still reading this one? I just got book two and three in the mail today.

[Vicki]

Oh my goodness! Lucky you!

I'm still reading it but I haven't read it in the last few days. But give me a minute & I'll get 'er done & we can continue the series together. Please??

[Ashlyn]

Yeah, it was 20% off at Barnes and Nobel online the other day, so I just had to order them. I would definitely love to continue this series with you. :)

[Vicki]

I'll check to see if they're still on sale.

[Vicki]

They aren't on sale but I ordered them so I'll have them in a couple days. Woo hoo! I ended up with the paperbacks though because the hardbacks were too much more.

[Ashlyn]

Awesome! I'm excited. I always love getting books in the mail. Too bad they weren't on sale still though. I also bought the paperbacks. Sometimes the hardcovers are just not worth the price.

[Vicki]

I agree about the hardcovers BUT sometimes the covers are so pretty or elegant like that I have to have the hardcover, or at least I want it. LOL

[Ashlyn]

I know what you mean. I buy a lot of books just because the cover looks good, and I don't usually read what the book is about before I buy it either. The only thing I don't like about hardcovers is that they usually come out first, so you are forced to buy either that or the ebook, and I don't like to buy the ebook if it is over $6.

[Vicki]

Good point! I have bought ebooks that are more than that but I couldn't store all the books if they were all physical copies.

And I'm JUST LIKE YOU! I rarely read the summary of a book if I love the cover!! If I'm iffy about the cover, I might read the summary but the cover is what sells me!

[Vicki]

Ch. 20

I am loving this book.

Sam (view spoiler)[really seems to genuinely care about Ana. I don't know why he's taken a liking to her but I really like him. Being killed by dragons 30 times and remembering painful deaths would be awful! (hide spoiler)]

Ana (view spoiler)[doesn't accept that she is really liked and that Sam doesn't have an agenda, but maybe she's right. She's leaving for that party now. I'm afraid someone will attack her on her way there. (hide spoiler)]

Ciana (view spoiler)[is a mystery...why wasn't she reborn? It seems like everyone liked her. I simply think that Ana was meant to "replace her" for some reason." (hide spoiler)]

Li is (view spoiler)[just awful and needs to leave Ana alone!! (hide spoiler)]

The books are a mystery. I don't get why anyone (view spoiler)[would take them anyway. (hide spoiler)]

I am glad you are loving it so much.

Sam (view spoiler)[ Being killed 30 times by dragons would seem awful. He can't seem to get over that, but I don't blame him. Could you imagine getting into 30 car accidents? I would be afraid to get in a car! (hide spoiler)]

[Vicki]

I can't imagine at all!

[Vicki]

I didn't feel bad that (view spoiler)[Li died at all! (hide spoiler)]

I was somewhat shocked that (view spoiler)[Ana killed Meuric. (hide spoiler)]

The last scene when (view spoiler)[all that fighting with dragons and sylph and everything that was going on was crazy. So much happened. (hide spoiler)]

I am happy that (view spoiler)[Ana got answers and Sam and she are together. I'm sure there'll be more of them and more newsouls in the next book too. I hope Meuric did die before the Dark night so that he won't come back. He'll KILL her!! Also I was really glad that Menehem wasn't as bad as I thought originally. (hide spoiler)]

[Ashlyn]

I am glad you liked it!

I feel like Ana (view spoiler)[had to kill Meuric because he was going to kill her. I also hope he doesn't come back. (hide spoiler)]

I'm excited to see what will come next.

[Vicki]

We both have the books so when shall we set book 2 up for?

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

yay! I LOVED this whole series!
I hope you guys do too!

[Vicki]

Thanks, Trisha! So far we both love it, thankfully.

[Ashlyn]

Thank you Trisha!

[Ashlyn]

Vicki, do any of these dates work for you: 3/30, 4/11, 4/13, 4/16, 4/18, or 4/23?

[Vicki]

How about 3/30?

[Ashlyn]

Okay. I will make the thread when I get onto the computer.

[Vicki]

Cool. Thanks!
