The first part of this book felt to me like it was told in dream form. Or from a delusion. I felt like my head was full of cotton and wonder. I don't think I have ever felt that way from a book before. O.O

I like Strange. I find him to be really fun to read about. I love that he has a dream and is full of wonder.

I thought I liked Thyon. (view spoiler)[But now that he has stolen Stranger's work and dream I find I dislike him. (hide spoiler)]

I've just gotten to the part (view spoiler)[where the strange gold like girls are in the garden and the amorous one kissed the guy. (view spoiler)[I'm looking forward to reading more about them. But I'm having difficulty with so many names. I prefer a smaller cast. :( (hide spoiler)] (hide spoiler)]

Chapter 1 and 2

I agree with you about Strange. I'm excited to read about his story. (view spoiler)[ I am wondering about Unseen City and can't wait to see if it is real still. (hide spoiler)] I can't wait to read more of the book.

[Anna 'Bookbuyer']

So while trying to not give anything away now that I'm done. (view spoiler)[I now understand the prologue better. That's all I will say. (hide spoiler)]

I would actually wait till you are done the book to read this spoiler. I tried really hard to not give anything away and be vague but I might still have given something away.

[Anna 'Bookbuyer']

Part 1:(view spoiler)[ I really like how the first part is jut about Lazlo and his journey to get to weep. (hide spoiler)]

[Anna 'Bookbuyer']

Part 2: (view spoiler)[I like how part two is mostly about Sarai and getting to know her and the other children. (hide spoiler)]

[Anna 'Bookbuyer']

I will comment more once you have caught up. ^-^

[[deleted user]]

Up to chapter 5: (view spoiler)[ I'm trying to think why Thyon wanted Strange's book and what Thyon had to do that had his father angry with him? I wonder if Strange is going to help with Thyon with whatever he had to do. (hide spoiler)]

[[deleted user]]

I will read more before bed. I'm sorry it's taking me awhile to catch up with you.

NP. I had a hard time getting into it and then I flew through it. :)

(view spoiler)[ I agree and I also like how the story was leading to him trying to figure out about the Unseen City and what happened to it. (hide spoiler)]

[[deleted user]]

Bookbuyer wrote: "Part 2: [spoilers removed]"

(view spoiler)[ I agree with you. For me, we have a lot of different people getting introduced and I'm having a hard time trying to figure out where everybody goes and what they mean in the book (hide spoiler)]

[spoilers removed]"

Exactly! (view spoiler)[I almost wish they there was a character guide. I'm more comfortable with two or three main characters and in this one it seemed like there were at least 12. :/ (hide spoiler)]

I wish there was also (view spoiler)[ pronunciation list to help us figure out how to say all the names that are in the book (hide spoiler)]

Some are definitely hard. :/

[Anna 'Bookbuyer']

How far are you because I found a list of some of the characters and I can create a bit of a character guide but I don't remember some of them or only vaguely and I don't want to spoil anything. :)

[[deleted user]]

I am enjoying this book and it seems different then her Smoke and Bone series.

[Anna 'Bookbuyer']

Ha! It's available on Google books so I can clear up my confusion about the characters I didn't know! Woohoo!

[Anna 'Bookbuyer']

Nancy85 wrote: "I am enjoying this book and it seems different then her Smoke and Bone series."

It does. But I can also see some similarities as well. :)

[Anna 'Bookbuyer']

Okay so these were the characters given. I can add more if you want me to. Spoilers are things that I've added about them that I'm not 100% sure you know yet so read with caution(Don't look at these if you have not started the book)(view spoiler)[

Chapter 15: (view spoiler)[ I'm really bored right now, to be honest. I feel like there are so many terms being thrown around and I don't know what half of them mean. Also, the part with the blue people really confused me. It feels like we just got tossed in for 2 chapters and went back to Lazlo. (hide spoiler)]

[Nicole's Book Diaries]

I’m super late I’m sorry.

Chapter 1 (view spoiler)[ Wait so he was daydreaming or actually fell asleep dreaming? And was his dream real? (hide spoiler)]

Chapter 3 (view spoiler)[That’s cruel. They don’t even know him or acknowledge him. So why do they care about his work? (hide spoiler)]

Chapter 14 (view spoiler)[ I’m know I’m gonna like kaliksi. Hell I probably already do. Who wouldn’t like a girl that comes from a family of acrobats/assassins...depending on her mood 🤣 (hide spoiler)]

Chapter 22 (view spoiler)[ Ha! Try telling Lazlo he’s wrong now! He was off about some things but he’s definitely closer to the truth about Weep than any of these self-righteous scholars. (hide spoiler)]

Chapter 27 (view spoiler)[ Awwww that’s so cute! I hope she goes back to see him in his dreams again. So why can he see her? If no one can see her, then why can he? Please tell me it’s not the usual reason if they belong together so their souls recognize each other. No romancey stuff please. (hide spoiler)]

Chapter 28 (view spoiler)[ I wonder if they’re actually gods or something else. Eril Fane said earlier that they’re not gods but monsters. Yes I know that could just be a metaphor but who knows? It was never really made clear. Except they’re super powerful beings. (hide spoiler)]

[Nicole's Book Diaries]

Chapter 40 (view spoiler)[ I feel Minya’s pain and rage but Sarai’s right. It’s never gonna be enough for Minya. She’ll want to kill Eril Fane and then his army, then his people and whoever else she can kill to fill her pain. (hide spoiler)]

Chapter 48 (view spoiler)[ How can they not know what happened to the god spawn children? Did they get eaten or something? Eril Fane was the one that remembers. How could he have not seen something? (hide spoiler)]

[Nicole's Book Diaries]

Finished (view spoiler)[ Wow! This was an incredible story! I loved the world building and the background of it all. The story of the seraphim and how they’re more monsters was interesting. I loved each of the character. Even Nero and the other chosen experts despit how they treated Lazlo. The only complaint I have with this is how long it was. I just thought it was way too long and it could have gone to the actually story a lot faster. Other than that. I really enjoyed it. (hide spoiler)]

[Maddie]

Hey Nicole! Heather's starting this today I think XD I'm not sure when I'll start it, was going to start it with her but I don't have time to read books that don't count XD

15% (view spoiler)[ So far I really like this book. The writing style is amazing and story has a lot of potential. I loved how he stood up for his dream. (hide spoiler)]

[Natalia]

End of part 2 (view spoiler)[ I’m excited that they finally reached the city. Hope that the story will speed up a bit. It’s really good, but there are some parts are a bit too slow. Also the double pov is interesting, I’m interested to see what will happen (hide spoiler)]

[Natalia]

65% (view spoiler)[ They finally meet. Honestly I’m a bit confused about what is happening sometimes. Is she the godskiller daughter? (hide spoiler)]

[Natalia]

70% (view spoiler)[ It finally speeds up a bit and the story gets a lot more interesting (hide spoiler)]
