Chains of the Heretic

[Jenna, I'd be free if not for Temper & Edgewalker]

At some point in December, Angela and I will be reading this.

[Angela, I'm Silverfox lost]

I can't wait to see how it all plays out. Looking forward to this buddy read.

[Jenna, I'd be free if not for Temper & Edgewalker]

I just thought of something that might complicate things for our discussion. Jeff doesn't chapter his books. We'll get around it somehow though. :)

[Jeff]

Buddy up!

[Jenna, I'd be free if not for Temper & Edgewalker]

I think it might just be you and me for this one, Angela. It doesn't help that we are starting in this group with the third one... at least we have Jeff here!

[Scott , Karsa Orlong]

Definitely a series I want to read. I just have too many open ones at this point and need to do some cleanup first.

[Angela, I'm Silverfox lost]

I'm really looking forward to it Jenna. Not long to go now.

[Angela, I'm Silverfox lost]

Jenna how are placed to read this in December? Late December would work for me as I think Deadhouse Gates will take me a couple of weeks to read.

[Bill]

I am about to start this today. I finished book 2 last night and don't think I can wait a month to finish the series off. Will join in the discussion whenever you do read it.

[Angela, I'm Silverfox lost]

Enjoy Bill. I'm sure it will be a great read.

Late December sounds good for me.

Perfect. Looking forward to it.

Jenna I've set a date for 26th December and into January. I'm on holiday then for two weeks, so unfortunately might not be commenting a lot but planning to read over that time.

[Jenna, I'd be free if not for Temper & Edgewalker]

Sounds like a plan though I might start on the 24th because I have that Saturday off. :)

[Angela, I'm Silverfox lost]

Nice. I would love to start that day, but it will no doubt be Christmas madness at my house. Plus it will be the first day of my holidays. I'm looking forward to some sunshine and swimming!

[Jenna, I'd be free if not for Temper & Edgewalker]

I suppose that might be the only benefit of living internationally. I will cuddle up with a book on Christmas Eve.

[Jenna, I'd be free if not for Temper & Edgewalker]

only benefit on a holiday* . There are many benefits for regular days. :)

[Quinn]

It is the third book? damn doubt I can able to catch up

It is the third book - if you can't catch up, you can always take your time and comment later. The series is great so it's definitely worth trying.

[Angela, I'm Silverfox lost]

Just purchased the book, so ready to go end of December Jenna. :-)

[Jenna, I'd be free if not for Temper & Edgewalker]

I just bought my copy, but I will wait until tomorrow to start :)

[Angela, I'm Silverfox lost]

Looking forward to starting Jenna. I will start tomorrow as well.

[Jenna, I'd be free if not for Temper & Edgewalker]

I usually prefer paper copies of books, but the nice thing about the ebook for this series is that I can actually see which chapter I am on!

Chapter 5 - Things are starting to happen! The first couple chapters were just a transition from the ending of the second book, but now things are really picking up speed. :)

Angela do you have a paper copy or an ebook? My page numbers are a bit different than the ones listed on the site so I'm not sure indicating parts by page number would be accurate. On the other hand, if you don't have the ebook, tracking the chapters is a bit tricky.

[Jenna, I'd be free if not for Temper & Edgewalker]

Chapter 9
Noooooo!
(view spoiler)[You can't make him burn all of manuscripts! This is just cruel.
But the crossing the Godveil part was awesome. (hide spoiler)]

[Angela, I'm Silverfox lost]

I have the ebook copy. Barely started though.

Good to know, and that's fine - life is always crazy during the holiday season.

[Angela, I'm Silverfox lost]

30% through. So far so good and I am enjoying the situation our characters are now in.

In my opinion, this is the best of the series (so far as I am). I'm on chapter 17 right now~

[Angela, I'm Silverfox lost]

At 60% now. (view spoiler)[ I did think the other side of the Godveil dragged on a little. Especially when it leaves so little time now to go and complete their mission. (view spoiler)[ (hide spoiler)] (hide spoiler)]

Angela wrote: "At 60% now. [spoilers removed]"

Personally, I loved that part, but I'm also having a hard time seeing how this is all going to wrap up. If it was a longer series, I wouldn't worry, but I only have ~120 pages left and so many things need to happen! Don't worry Jeff, I trust you.

If you are still watching this thread at all, Jeff (wouldn't blame you if you didn't have time), how long did all the goings on (view spoiler)[with the Deserters on the other side of the Veil last? And all of the travelling before and after? Only wondering because Soffjian can only spend so long away from her Tower. Or does being on the other side of the Veil somehow affect that? (hide spoiler)]

[Jenna, I'd be free if not for Temper & Edgewalker]

Also, I'm really hoping (view spoiler)[something goes wrong with the plan and somehow Thumaar gets killed. Or something happens that makes him unable to become the emperor again... (hide spoiler)]

You should be good to view this spoiler, Angela. :)

[Bill]

I had the same worries when I got to that point but think it wrapped up really well.

[Angela, I'm Silverfox lost]

That gives me hope Bill. Thank you.

Jenna (view spoiler)[ I wondered the same thing about Soffjian. I felt like she should have been feeling the pull back to her Tower more. It's actually an instance where I do kind of wish we have a couple of different POV's in the story (view spoiler)[ (hide spoiler)] (hide spoiler)]

Thanks! I am kind of seeing where this is going now - less than 100 pages to go!

Jenna [spoilers removed]"

It would have been a really cool POV. Maybe an idea for the next series in this world. Past or future (if she lives through this book).

Hope your trust isn't misplaced. Ha. Ha?

I believe in one version I spelled out that Soffjian wasn't feeling the pull from the other side as badly as expected, but somehow that got waylaid in edits and disappeared and I didn't notice. But of course good readers notice everything. And ask questions that make me sheepishly look at my shuffling feet and mumble something or other about, uh, magic. Or something.

Glad to hear it, Bill.

Angela wrote: "At 60% now. [spoilers removed]"

For what it's worth, a LOT happens in the last 150 pages. Like, a lot a lot. :)

For what it's worth, my next book/series (unrelated to Bloodsounder at all) has four POVs, two male, two female. So maybe you will dig that more.

Thanks for replying Jeff. I gather there must be a lot happening at the end, given Jenna's comments. Looking forward to it.

Awesome about you next book have a few POV's in it.

[Jeff]

Happy to. Thanks for reading.

Nice! Will look forward to that series as well. And I must say Angela, for all my worries, it wrapped up perfectly.

[Angela, I'm Silverfox lost]

81% okay events are starting to tie together. Well played Jeff. It's a nice little discovery at this point.

Looking forward to your impressions after the last 19%.

[Angela, I'm Silverfox lost]

8% to go. I'm such a nana these days. I make myself stop reading so I can sleep ;). (view spoiler)[ I loved the fact that Skeelana and Soffjian have been working together! I never trusted Soffjian 100% so was great to be proven right (view spoiler)[ (hide spoiler)] (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[ nice you were proven correct! It did seem likely he would die didn't it with first impressions of meeting him. He really didn't seem that fit to be Emperor (view spoiler)[ (hide spoiler)] (hide spoiler)]

Yeah, plot points and arcs always change during drafting, but that one was cemented in my head pretty early on.
