Haha! Yes! I actually read your review prior to reading it. I really want to continue with the series..And I'll read Theft of Swords as well then. It sounds interesting.. The size is intimidating though

If you use audiobooks, I recommend them for that series. He does a great job and narrates this series, plus the prequel series

Finished
today, March 3. It fits 1, 2, 6, 9, and Skip. I don't know if this can be counted as Red. The cover is mostly black but the spine is red. Has anybody read this also?

Works for some good cards though :)

I won't use this one for the coloured card 7 because we have a general rule that a character needs to have some kind of dialogue. I'm sure we'll find another book that fits a coloured card to duplicate :)

I have three on-going books, but work has been a bit bonkers over the last week or so, so I apologize for not quite completing any in the last 6 days. Hopefully, I'll get back in the swing of things towards the end of the week.
But, thank you everyone, for keeping the train running. You all are awesome! :) We were just 15 points away from the top spot last month, so we can totally hit the pinnacle.
Okay! That was super-motivational. :P :P
Now I totally want us to win this! :P
Off I go to read.

Will
work for 3 Blue duplicate? Character's last name is Hardwicke
or it's first in the series also, so it could be a duplicate for 1 BLUE but I think we have that covered? Just let me know and I can pick it up.

for RED 9 in a bit

Oh, how come?
I remember my sister devouring this series when we were kids. Maybe it hasn't lasted well over time?

I couldn’t get interested but I think I’ve actually read one further into the series that I liked better so idk, my mood? Or maybe the first just wasn’t as strong for me. :(
I finished reading
and
. Have updated spreadsheet and shelf.@Karen - To be honest, it was quite a fun read. I had a few issues here and there - mainly the fact that a lot of plot elements are revealed through dialogues which gets a little confusing. But, this is just the first book and I know that it gets better. I loved Royce and Hadrian. I really want to know more about Royce's backstory.
Sreshtha wrote: "I@Karen - To be honest, it was quite a fun read. I h..."
Glad you enjoyed it! I read them as the 3 books (so started with Theft of Swords) so that may have helped as you get a lot more of the story in one hit. Yes, their relationship is great and Royce is especially interesting ;)
Karen, I've finished this one -
. I think you just forgot to tick it off. We're going great everyone.
