How long do you need to wait for the next one now?
I haven't read this series yet, but it's on my TBR.


Lisa - (Aussie Girl) | 6399 comments Probably about 1 year - there are three left in the series.

It took me a while to get into the series, the world building is unique and they don't explain everything at once... but by about book 3 I was hooked. Great characters, well plotted out storyline.

Lisa - (Aussie Girl) | 6399 comments Renee, Can we use the same character's letter twice if they are featured in different books in the same series. Eg Yuri, appears as a leading character in a couple of books in the series so can we use the Y again in a different set? Or if you can't use the Y for Yuri again, can we use the Y in Yelena (different book) instead in another set as it didn't get used?

Yes.

Renee (reneeconoulty) | 3309 comments There has been a bit of chat in the captains group about the fact that this challenge looks like it will end next week. People are saying that they would like it to go longer. The original plan was for it to last 6 to 8 weeks. The current suggestion is that instead of the goal being the first to get to 2000 points, we just go to the end of August and who ever has the most points wins. What do you guys think?


message 419: by Skandia (new)

Skandia (sfgirl) | 1724 comments I would like to continue. It's easy and relaxed game, no complicated rules, I like it!

Im good to go until the end of August...vacation will be in the middle of September until the end of the month so September would be a little iffy for me but Im good with even going longer...I love this challenge...like Skandia said, it's easy & no complicated rules which I love.
