Join Vicki and I!

[Vicki]

I have read many good things about this book. I hope it meets my expectations! I'm excited to find out!

Thanks for making the thread. :o)

[Ashlyn]

Your welcome! I am too! I kept seeing this book pop up everywhere, so when I saw the hardcover for $8 plus 30% off, I had to grab it. I just read Seraphina: The Audition last night, and it was interesting.

[Vicki]

Ha ha! I read that in October 2014, so I don't remember a word of it! LOL

[Ashlyn]

Well it wasn't too long if you wanted to read it again, but it was basically about Seraphina trying to become the music teacher of Glisselda.

[Vicki]

Oh that's right. :)

[Ashlyn]

Are you ready to start this tomorrow?

[Vicki]

I'm so ready! Lol

[Ashlyn]

Just read the Prologue. I will read more tomorrow. It was very interesting!

[Vicki]

Awesome! I'll read the prologue too either tonight or tomorrow morning early.

[Ashlyn]

Chapter 2

So far (view spoiler)[the book has been interesting. I'm wondering what exactly Seraphina's secret is. (hide spoiler)]

[Vicki]

The prologue was REALLY short! LOL

I'll probably not get to this tonight since we're going to dinner at a friend's house. I'll get back to it tomorrow.

[Ashlyn]

I think it was a couple pages. No problem! I will probably reading this one slowly.

[Vicki]

Okay I can do slowly! Lol

[Ashlyn]

I will try to finish Chapter 4 tonight, but it is a long chapter, so I don't know how much more I will be able to read.

[Ashlyn]

Chapter 4

Scales (view spoiler)[I'm a little confused about the scales on Seraphina. Is she part dragon? (hide spoiler)]

[Vicki]

How's the book so far? I'll be getting to it shortly...like in the next few days.

[Ashlyn]

It's fine so far, just a little confusing with some parts. I'm hoping it will get better as the story progresses.

[Vicki]

I will get back to it tomorrow, I think.

[Ashlyn]

Haha okay.

[Ashlyn]

How far have you read in this book?

[Vicki]

I haven't read any...4-5 pages one day.

[Ashlyn]

Okay. I just finished chapter 5 today.

[Vicki]

I will try to catch up as soon as I can.

[Ashlyn]

Alright. I will wait for you to continue. I have some library books due back soon that I need to read.

[Vicki]

Ch. 10

In response to your question in message 16, although you likely know the answer now, (view spoiler)[she is part dragon. Her mother was a dragon or (trying to remember now) is she also half dragon? Ugh...my memory! (hide spoiler)]

I like the world building and the idea of someone like Seraphina who is (view spoiler)[half dragon. (hide spoiler)]

Prince Lucian (view spoiler)[seems to be kind in general. I like that he is sticking up for Lars and planned to talk to Josef about what he did. (hide spoiler)]

Josef (view spoiler)[appears to simply be a jerk! Or did I miss something? (hide spoiler)]

The grotesques (view spoiler)[are probably like her, do you think? I have a feeling they are also half dragon. (hide spoiler)]

Miss Fusspots and Fruit Bat (view spoiler)[ are such fun names! So far I like their characters, too. (hide spoiler)]

[Ashlyn]

I will try to catch up soon.

[Vicki]

No worries!

[Vicki]

I'm almost done with this one. I can't remember which chapter...maybe 31. But I've finished 86%.

[Ashlyn]

Wow you have gotten far. I have not pick up a book in two days because I have been really busy with school. Hopefully I will be able to get back to it soon.

[Vicki]

I didn't mean to lol but I got into it.

[Ashlyn]

Well that's good at least.

[Katelyn]

Hello

[Ashlyn]

Hi Katelyn!

[Vicki]
