Chapter 8

(view spoiler)[I'm liking this book! All the descriptions are beautiful I can't imagine a place like Caraval I wish it could exist. I already have a few theories about Scarlett and Julián (I guess it is Julian but I'm reading it in spanish edition) and a few more about this whole place called Caraval, can't wait to keep reading it. (hide spoiler)]

[Maddie]

So you're not doing the schedule? Couldn't stop at 10%? XD

Don't blame me :(

[Maddie]

XD No it's fine! I was just curious! I never said you guys had to do the schedule :)

Chapter 12

(view spoiler)[I think I'll finish this book first. It's SOOO GOOOD. I have a few theories about Julian and I think how this is going to end but I keep wondering where is her sister Donatella and I really want to go to Caraval :( (hide spoiler)]

[Maddie]

Chapter 7 (view spoiler)[Ugh I feel like Julian's the love interest now, and Tella will get angry.
(hide spoiler)]

May as well update in Chapters too

[Maddie]

Chapter 8 (view spoiler)[Why do I feel like Julian is a lot more than he appears... Is he part of Caraval somehow?
(hide spoiler)]

At least with you being ahead I have updates to read :) I'm sticking to the schedule, and I'm done now. Just got to Chapter 9.

(view spoiler)[I was thinking the same! But it seems like a lot of people know him somehow so I was thinking if he is Legend? I have so many theories that my mind will blow (hide spoiler)]

[Maddie]

(view spoiler)[Ah, you think he could be Legend?? I just assumed he'd be old, but when they described him as young and girl-loving, then it could be him... (hide spoiler)]

[— Massiel]

Maddison wrote: "[spoilers removed]"

(view spoiler)[For now yes I think he could be Legend but also maybe the fiance of Scarlett but somehow I imaging the fiance old like the father, Hahah I don't know I need to read more! (hide spoiler)]

[Maddie]

Wait is that in relation to where you're up to, or to where I'm up to? Because maybe we shouldn't talk if you're giving stuff away.

(view spoiler)[Omg I'm so sorry. I will just wait that you finish the book (hide spoiler)]

[Maddie]

Yeah because I don't know how you thought that (view spoiler)[Julian could be Legend, let alone be her fiancee... (hide spoiler)] I'm alright to keep talking about it, but I just don't want you to talk about stuff I haven't read yet..

[Maddie]

Chapter 12(view spoiler)[Okay so Julian's getting secretive.

I like this Dante guy, but not sure if that'll stick.

Ah so you're reading this straight to the end?
Yeah I'm really liking it too, but I think that (view spoiler)[Donatella in her room with that guy wasn't consensual. Like I feel like he's doing things to her she doesn't want.. (hide spoiler)]

[Maddie]

I'll read more tomorrow.

(view spoiler)[All these secrets that Julián has is a little boring, I mean I like it but I want to know a little more. About that guy with Tella I think the same as you. I'm reading without a schedule (hide spoiler)]

[Maddie]

Alrighty, enjoy!

[— Massiel]

Chapter 34

(view spoiler)[Oh, I like this book a lot. A few theories that I had became true, since they explain all the dreams I already knew that Dante was the fiance of Rosa and then I was wrong about Julián, he wasn't Legend when I saw him in the dream I thought he could be Rosa's brother and I was right!

That scene between Legend and Julián I didn't buy it and it happens so fast when Legend stab Julián that I don't like at all... It was too fast I like slowly (I like when characters dies). Anyway, Scarlett's father is really a psychopath I even think he could have kill Paloma. I don't like neither the conde and I was a little surprise since he's not too young but not too old. I'm already finishing this book but it's really good. (hide spoiler)]

[— Massiel]

Finished

(view spoiler)[The thing that I liked most about this book is the whole plot twist at the end, it never came to my mind that it was all set up, everything was really a show but with magic I really want to read the second book and I think the second book the main character will be Donatella and not Scarlett and I like it if will be that way.

It never crossed my mind that Legend's brother is Julián and more about all about those plot twist with all the dead characters and all that, it was a really good book and easy to read I like it a lot but I really hope to see Legend's true face :( (hide spoiler)]

[Maddie]

Oh wow you finished..? And that's all you had to update? Twice XD Dammit.

Maddison wrote: "Oh wow you finished..? And that's all you had to update? Twice XD Dammit."

HAHAHAHAH I really don't update a lot because I always express my feelings while reading the book than talk about it so when I finished the book or have theories that's when I update

[Maddie]

Ah alright. I like to know how people are feeling at specific parts. Also really motivating.

[— Massiel]

Maddison wrote: "Yeah I know, but do we already have another buddy planned? XD"

No... Um... We, dominicans, say things like that because is a way to see each other again, umm... I don't think I'm explain myself well...

[Maddie]

Yeah I know what you mean :) Don't worry haha. My question really was trying to say 'what would you like to read next and when?'

[— Massiel]

Maddison wrote: "Yeah I know what you mean :) Don't worry haha. My question really was trying to say 'what would you like to read next and when?'"

Oh, hahhaha when I finish Just Listen I want to read and , what about you?

[Maddie]

[— Massiel]

Don't worry I'll be here when you update :)

[Maddie]

Alright thanks :) I'll definitely reply to your spoilers too. Maybe you can try and answer questions if I have them, without giving spoilers?

Maddison wrote: "Alright thanks :) I'll definitely reply to your spoilers too. Maybe you can try and answer questions if I have them, without giving spoilers?"

Of course, I can try :)

[Maddie]

Thanks.

[Veee]

Hey, I'm so sorry that I haven't posted anything. I've been working and trying to get ready or finals, that I just haven't had a chance. I'll post again within the next few hours, and I should be posting regularly this week.

[Maddie]

Alright it's fine.

[Maddie]

Chapter 14 (view spoiler)[Oh wow Tella's been taken by Legend! I get where you're coming from about the possibility of Julian being Legend now! Not sure if I'd have come to that conclusion myself, but thanks XD

And yeah it's clear Julian and Scarlett are going to get together. Even if nothing else gave it away, the fact he calls her crimson does. (hide spoiler)]

[Maddie]

Chapter 17 (view spoiler)[OOohhh liked that future dude, and the potential of the clue? I knew as soon as he said 'dark heart' he meant Dante...

I really hope it wasn't Julian in that dungeon! I want to know what that was all about! (hide spoiler)]

[Maddie]

Up to date.

(view spoiler)[I really wasn't expecting that Tella was taking by Legend. It seems that you're liking the book I'm glad :D. (hide spoiler)]

[Maddie]

Yeah I'm liking it. (view spoiler)[It's quite intense how Tella is the whole focus of the game. Is it wrong I trusted the 'pregnant' girl? (hide spoiler)]

[— Massiel]

Maddison wrote: "Yeah I'm liking it. [spoilers removed]"

(view spoiler)[I was thinking the same... About the pregnant girl you'll get it soon (hide spoiler)]
