53% (view spoiler)[ Ummm um um... I don't know how I feel about this love triangle... They cannot both be in love with Vika, they don't even know her! Its going to be interesting I liked that Vika spared Nikolai... she thinks she will be able to get him next round but if she is already falling for him? doubt she will. (hide spoiler)]

83% (view spoiler)[ OMG What is going to happen now that Pasha knows Nikolai is the other enchanter? Aizhana is so interesting to me too. I felt so bad for Vika and the way Galinda told her that Sergi is not her real father and that he was dead now. I can't hardly blame her for destroying Nikolai's house. (hide spoiler)]

[[deleted user]]

Finished (view spoiler)[ OMG I cannot believe Nikolai lost! but I know that he is not dead with Aizhana will do something to bring him back. She brought herself back and she is his mother there has to be something to be done and Vika will do something too. There has to be a change! (hide spoiler)]

[Krystal]

5% (view spoiler)[ Not sure who I want to become the enchanter yet between the two. It will be fun learning more about the both of them. (hide spoiler)]

[Evelyn]

[Evelyn]

I haven't started yettt. I found my old 3ds under my bed two days ago and all I've been doing is playing Harvest Moon xD. Hopefully I start today.

Tooo funny! I'm behind on this one too. I've read a few pages a day. My hold is about to expire so I need to get on this.

[Krystal]

20% (view spoiler)[ I've always loved elemental magic, but it does sound like his magic would be more useful. It would make more sense if there could be two enchanters... different gifts for different occasions. Her magic is good for war. His for everyday things. (hide spoiler)]

26%
(view spoiler)[ There's gonna be a love triangle. I hate them and I feel like it'll just consume the whole story. I can tell Pasha is the naive type and I feel like he's going to be a pain in the butt later on, lol. I like Nikolai the most so far and I'm excited to see where the GAME goes. (view spoiler)[ (hide spoiler)] (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[ Yeah I agree. I also thought at first that Vika would for sure beat out Nikolai, but now I'm not so sure. (view spoiler)[ (hide spoiler)] (hide spoiler)]

[Evelyn]

52%
(view spoiler)[ Oh boy. I have a feeling I know where this a going.
I'm also so intrigued with Aizhana. I hope we get to learn more about her and it'll be hopefully thrilling to see her "reunite" with Nikolai. I really like their killing attempts so far, so i'm excited to see more. (view spoiler)[ (hide spoiler)] (hide spoiler)]

[Evelyn]

76%
(view spoiler)[ ok, at this point I'm kinda certain neither of them are going to kill each other. If one of them does die though, I think it'll definitely have been from force.
I actually like Pasha which is surprising cuz he IS kinda annoying, but idk. I don't like that he's basically "in love" with Vika though. Not that I support Nikolai and Vika's thing either (view spoiler)[ (hide spoiler)] (hide spoiler)]

[Evelyn]

(view spoiler)[ Really?! That's interesting. In my opinion I felt like Vika had no right and was not rational to destroy Nikolai's belongings. I know she was confused when she did it, but still. When I read that part I promised my self that if she actually destroyed his house, I would never have forgiven her. And Nikolai didn't even care. Which is fine I guess because they ARE playing a game. (view spoiler)[ (hide spoiler)] (hide spoiler)]

[Evelyn]

Finished
(view spoiler)[ Honestly, that didn't end how I thought it would. I thought they would have both made it out alive somehow, but I guess not. Nikolai's obviously not dead though. Right?? Yes because I read the synopsis for the sequel xD. I blame Pasha, but I also kinda pity him at the same time. (view spoiler)[ (hide spoiler)] (hide spoiler)]

[Johanna]

I am trying to read this this time 😄

[Johanna]

Chapter 2
(view spoiler)[Hahah, what was this singing baker 🤣 Okay so her mother has passed and her father is training her. She is a sorceress and they are extremely rare. I am still a bit confused why they had to hide when practising: there was a threat that someone would kill her. Why would someone kill her if they're so rare? But her kind are used for the country, as weapons. And not every country has them. They are just human so maybe they have been killed or died in some countries. She would love to have more freedom, I am not sure why she isn't allowed to have it. Is it too dangerous, would someone try to kill her? Again, I am confused and don't understand why. But it was fun that she wanted to go to Finland, hahah - welcome here 🤣 (hide spoiler)]

[Johanna]

Chapter 4
(view spoiler)[Enchanter was the right term! And there is two but only one can win. Win what? What happens to another one then? Nikolai's parents are passed and he has been living with a woman who became his mentor. How in earth is she doing that hovering? Is she a enchanter too?
I have to say that as a person who use library pretty much there should be always some books in the wrong places and now they had only those five books in the wrong places that his mentor had placed. That felt a bit unrealistic. (hide spoiler)]

[Johanna]

Chapter 5
(view spoiler)[Okay so they are starting the game to get a enchanter who could protect the country. But the tsar asked from his daughter how she knew there were two enchanters in the country. Well she didn't say anything about two, only that he should start the game. There could have been more than two. Well they're rare so that would have been really something but he should have asked "how did you know there is more than one". That just felt strange, I mean how he asked directly about knowing that two exists. But yeah, how did she know? (hide spoiler)]

[Johanna]

Chapter 6
(view spoiler)[I wasn't expecting Nikolai to know Pasha, even though I was wondering how all these story lines were going to meet. And now they saw Vika and at least Nikolai knows who she is. I am curious about her black lock, why is it there? (hide spoiler)]

[Johanna]

Chapter 9
(view spoiler)[So Pasha knows too that Vika was an enchanter. And I had a hunch that she would be his love interest when there was all this talk about his future and how he should soon find a spouse.
And okay the one who lose is going to die! (hide spoiler)]

[Johanna]

Chapter 12
(view spoiler)[These siblings doesn't seem to have much love between them. I was surprised to know that they could have killed each other even before the game. Well why not but I was surprised xD (hide spoiler)]

[Dannii]

Can't wait to catch up with your thoughts :) I might start this one tomorrow as I have a few longer reads planned for the beginning of the month so might give me a good head start to tackle a smaller read first.

[Johanna]

I am here whenever you're there ❤️

Chapter 13
(view spoiler)[I think there have been several chapters now where the game has been announced to start. When it really starts 🤣 (hide spoiler)]

[Johanna]

Chapter 14
(view spoiler)[WHAT?!?! What has been awakaned?! Did she just came from the well of the magic?? (hide spoiler)]

[Johanna]

Chapter 16
(view spoiler)[I love the name Cinderella for the bakery 🤣 It doesn't feel fair that Nikolai knows who she is but not vice versa
I love that Pasha can speak Finnish xD (hide spoiler)]

[Johanna]

Chapter 17
(view spoiler)[I can relate to her feelings, how she have dreams of Nikolai. It's lust not feelings but it can happen. And Nikolai is a coward: using stones so that he doesn't have to attack personally. Well I assume they both use magic but I don't know. It felt cowardice. (hide spoiler)]

[Johanna]

Chapter 18
(view spoiler)[It feels even more like a cowardice after this chapter xD (hide spoiler)]

[Johanna]

Chapter 20
(view spoiler)[I am happy that she is now stalking him too, it feels fairer. (hide spoiler)]

[Johanna]

Chapter 21
(view spoiler)[I found that Romeo & Juliet scene somehow so funny xD I think Pasha has guessed that Nikolai is an enchanter and is searching for proof. But it didn't feel believable that this amount of vodka would have made someone tell their secrets this quick. But now Pasha wants to invite Vika to the ball! (hide spoiler)]

[Johanna]

Chapter 22
(view spoiler)[I didn't like Galina before but even less so now - who in earth kills squarrels FOR FUN?! Disgusting. And then she made things even worse by saying she hates nature. I hate HER 🤣 But she's right about one thing: it would be easier without giving space from your heart. I am really soft hearted when it comes about animals and I adore my fury family members. I lost my beloved seniore dog last month, only some weeks ago and it has been TOUGH! So there I can agree with her, even though I couldn't never live like her. (hide spoiler)]

[Johanna]

Chapter 23
(view spoiler)[Haha, the zombie woman was Nikolai's mother 🤣🤣 (hide spoiler)]

[Johanna]

Chapter 24
(view spoiler)[This game feels a bit confusing. I think I would have loved to know the rules better or something. It seems like they're doing something on their turn and then the another gets the turn. (hide spoiler)]

[Johanna]

Chapter 27
(view spoiler)[I am excited about the ball! (hide spoiler)]

[Johanna]
