I loved this comment!!"

I guess that is what makes the story so much more interesting... without the drama I guess we wouldn't really be interested... But I do see your point...

(view spoiler)[ Yes she does. That's the reason he got into Blackcliff. (hide spoiler)]

I think the Aquilla family would have had to let Helene die for that. But I really think that would've been the better choice.

Beginning of chapter 24/43%:

(view spoiler)[ I feel so bad for Elias. He keeps having to watch people he cares about sacrifice themselves for him. I hope he's able to free Darin and make it worth it, somehow.

I can't believe he would leave without Laia. I don't think that's going to go over very well. (hide spoiler)]

[CallMeSensei]

Beginning of chapter 37/67%:

(view spoiler)[ Whoa, this is getting kind of dark. Poor Elias--but I really didn't think that he would get out of there without some incident.

Is Darin really dead? I feel like that would be very bad for the plot.

Keenan seems good intentioned but there's been a few moments that raise the alarms. Is there a surprise in store? I feel like there is. (hide spoiler)]

NOOOOO!!! I can't!

(view spoiler)[NUU! Izzy!!! I loved Izzy! I was so happy that she was falling in love! Is Nehemia from ToG all over again!
In a lighter tone, I am shipping Harper and Helene so hard right now!! (hide spoiler)]

[StellarLuna ☾✩]

70%
Whaaaattt?!!!! I have so many suspicions!!

(view spoiler)[ Why is Keenan working against her?? He gave me the creeps here and there but..idk. The Warden doesn't seem to know who he is. I think he is the Nightbringer. I mean he sneaks up really easily. I am about to read the part where it confirms this. IDK, I am not ready for this! If he is, why the obsession with Laia?? Who are her parents? Is she a daughter of a Jinn?? (hide spoiler)]

[StellarLuna ☾✩]

DONE and dealing with the wait for the next installment

(view spoiler)[ Oh man! What a ride! The reveal at the end about Harper being Elias' brother...I assume OLDER brother, was sooo unexpected!! It makes me wonder who their father was and how he and the Commandant ended up.. you know, doing it. LOL! I have a whole new appreciation for Helene now. I really like her!! Also, Cook is such a bag of secrets with her special abilities. Is she related to Laia? Are they descendants of the Jinn? Is that why they have these abilities? SO MANY THINGS I WANT TO KNOW! Regardless, it was so enjoyable! (hide spoiler)]

Totally forgot to finish my comments in here sorry about that. I wish i had read the 1st book again before reading this but i will read both again before the next book comes out :) Its to good a story to be mixing it up with all the other not so good ones out there.

Reading from the 8th of November 2016

[Katrina G]

Starting this now!

[Katrina G]

Chapter 1
(view spoiler)[ Well that was interesting. I always think it's a good sign when a book sucks me in right in the first chapter (hide spoiler)]

[Katrina G]

Chapter 4
(view spoiler)[ They should have killed the Commandant when they had the chance. That decision is going to come back to haunt them (hide spoiler)]

[Katrina G]

Chapter 7
(view spoiler)[ There's no way Elias is going to die. They're going to figure something out to cure him (hide spoiler)]

[Katrina G]

Chapter 11
(view spoiler)[ I feel bad for Helene. After making it through the interrogation and managing to protect Elias, only to have to find him and kill him herself. Sucks. (hide spoiler)]

[Katrina G]

Chapter 14
(view spoiler)[ I find Helene's chapters to be the longest to get through. Her point of view somewhat bores me and isn't nearly as interesting as Elias's or Laia's (hide spoiler)]

[Katrina G]

End of part 1
(view spoiler)[ This started off pretty strong, but it's slowed down for me since then. I'm hoping for things to pick up soon, because I'm getting kinda bored (hide spoiler)]

[Katrina G]

Chapter 28
(view spoiler)[ I still don't find Helene's chapters interesting (hide spoiler)]

[Katrina G]

Chapter 29
(view spoiler)[ First this chapter has me confused with Laia's invisible thing, then it breaks my heart because Izzi just got killed off :( (hide spoiler)]

[Katrina G]

Chapter 30
(view spoiler)[ And Now Darin is dead too? I'm not liking this too much right now (hide spoiler)]

[Katrina G]

Chapter 34
(view spoiler)[ I wonder if Helene is going to cure Elias of the poison? (hide spoiler)]

[Katrina G]

Chapter 47
(view spoiler)[ This has taken a strange turn (hide spoiler)]

[Brooke]

Hopefully starting this tonight. Sorry Katrina i am crazy behind and having some home issues that are taking most of my time :/

[Brooke]

9%
(view spoiler)[ He really should have killed her. But that would be against the norm so can't have that. (hide spoiler)]

[Brooke]

14%
(view spoiler)[ The Waiting Place sounds scary since this lady is pushing them out pretty much! (hide spoiler)]

[Sharon]

Chapter 7: (view spoiler)[ Helene is a tough chick. I want to know what else her father promised. Also, I thought the Commandent being poisoned was an intriguing idea. I think 3-6 months is a long time for seizures. (hide spoiler)]

[Sharon]

Chapter 10: (view spoiler)[ There is a lot going on in the book. I am enjoying the different POVs. It makes the story more engaging. I loved the scene in the Roost. Also, I loved the part while they were on the cliffs trying to get away from the Tribesman. Who is the Commandent talking to? What is going to happen to the cook? Also, Elias will live, right? (hide spoiler)]

[Sharon]

Chapter 16: (view spoiler)[ I really like Helene and Elias's friendship. Also, I really like Elias and Laia together. I think there is something there but we shall see what happens. (hide spoiler)]

[Sharon]

Chapter 26: (view spoiler)[ How is Helene supposed to save Elias if she is weeks away in Antium? He has two weeks left. I hope she does save him. Also, I really dislike the Commandent and the way she disrespects Helene. (hide spoiler)]

[Sharon]

Chapter 31: (view spoiler)[ Helene just me with Cain. Is she going to have to kill Elias? Will she be able to do it? I don't think so because they are friends. When Izzi died, I was so sad. I was rooting for her to find love. (hide spoiler)]

[Sharon]

Chapters 41-48: (view spoiler)[ Oh my! Didn't see that coming! I knew you didn't like Keenan. Also, I think that the warden is so evil and twisted. I hope they can save Tas from him. What is up with Laia? Something supernatural as well. That is why the warden is so interested. I don't know if I like the whole NightBringer thing. (hide spoiler)]
