I downloaded from Kobo too. It's the only ebook online store that available in my country anyway."

O.o I thought it was mostly Canadian. Good to know it's more international! ^-^

Kobo is my only savior Lol. That's why most Indonesian readers use ebook reader from Kobo instead of Kindle from Amazon.

Cool! ^-^

[Maddie]

Oh XD I thought this was the Wintersong thread. Nope I'll be starting Everless today.

And Kobo's everywhere isn't it? I have one.

[Maddie]

So I've got to read another challenge book before this one, sorry :p

[Maddie]

Starting this today :D

[Dr. Andy]

Maybe I'll get to this by the time you finish Maddie lol

[Maddie]

XD We'll see. I plan on finishing tomorrow.

[Dr. Andy]

Haha I will definitely not be getting to this tomorrow :/

[Maddie]

No worries :p I'll still be around.

Yay!!!! Are you also signed up for the Everless group read with the unoffical Owlcrate book club? It starts in a few days.

[Maddie]

Nope I don't really do GBR. It gets too confusing.

[Dr. Andy]

Maybe I'll get to it next week. I have to figure out what books I have for physical reads and which are audios.

[Maddie]

Yeah haha I recently bought a planner and I colour-coordinate which are audio and physical so I can see at a glance. So much easier

[Dr. Andy]

I have a calendar on my computer, but I'm pretty much done with the ones I'd planned.

[Maddie]

So how come you can't start this one then, if you're finished?

I'm super surprised at how I'm basically managing to keep up! There's one BR I haven't even started back from the 2nd (Cruel Prince) that I really want to, so I might pick that up during my readathon tomorrow.

Do you have The Cruel Prince? I think my copy will arrive next week.

I know I have a couple physical books left but I don't remember all of them and bc of school I haven't had time to look through my books

[Maddie]

@Jen: Yeah I do, I'll wait for you unless I start tomorrow during my readathon XD

@Andrea: Ah right.

I probably wont start The Cruel prince until begining of Feb, too many library books but happy to discuss with you when i read it.

[Maddie]

Alrighty. I've got time to read it end of this month so I probably will :)

[Dr. Andy]

I might read the Cruel Prince in Feb if you want to plan a buddy for then Jen

[Dr. Andy]

Maddie these are the physicals I need to finish this month: and maybe .

I'm currently 60% done with Starlight and maybe I'll start Everless after that because I'm dreading Crystal Crown. The book before it was a mess and almost put me in a reading slump.

Rachmi wrote: "Chapter 5 [spoilers removed]"

Really? That's surprising. I can already sense the (view spoiler)[relationship starting. As soon as Roan was mentioned riding through the town. And I really enjoy the whole back story, the reason they moved, why they fear Liam, how she used to live there. (hide spoiler)]

[Maddie]

@Andrea: Then don't read it?
I'm finally reading Novice starting in 2 days time, but will most likely start tomorrow.

Andrea wrote: "I might read the Cruel Prince in Feb if you want to plan a buddy for then Jen"

Sounds good. I dont actually know how to create a buddy read on here as yet but I'm keen. I plan on it being the first book I read in Feb so as to livd uo with a group read I am already signed up for.

All good.

[Maddie]

Rachmi wrote: "Chapter 6 [spoilers removed]"

You think so deeply! XD I just always go with the flow of the story.

[Velina]

Guys I just want to ask, is there any romance in this book?

[Maddie]

I'm 30% in and so far nothing, but there is a hint of something. If you're reading YA Velina there'll always be romance, and it'll always be typical

[Maddie]

Rachmi wrote: "Chapter 11 [spoilers removed]"

Yeah could be!

[Maddie]

Rachmi wrote: "Chapter 16 [spoilers removed]"

Chapter 17 (view spoiler)[That's an interesting theory. I just thought that the holly made her honest. But there is something going on with her, especially as she told the truth to Cora about the vault. That'll end up badly.

And now I'm definitely sensing a love triangle between Liam, Roan and Jules. I do love Ina though, and I really wish her and Roan could just have a happy time. (hide spoiler)]

[Maddie]

Rachmi wrote: "Beginning of chapter 18 [spoilers removed]"

Chapter 19 (view spoiler)[I was thinking the same thing! I starting having my suspicions when Jules found Roan in the hallway with his buttons done up wrong, but then it solidified when Bea saw him, lighting up before she noticed Jules and hurried off, and again when Julies noticed the lavender smell, or that other smell on him, can't remember what.

I also really think that Caro's got magic, with the way her touch makes the Queen healthy, and all that.
I also keep getting confused, because I think that Roan and Liam are the royalty, and that they're the Queen's children, rather than Ina. I keep forgetting that the Queen and Ina are visiting, and that Roan will then leave with them when married. (hide spoiler)]

I actually haven't a clue how to do spoiled tags but..."

Wishing I now had that spoiler available to see XD

[Maddie]

Chapter 21 (view spoiler)[Oh no, they're caught! Hopefully Caro doesn't get too punished! I really like how, even though she's the Queen's handmaiden, she still enjoys the company of the Queen's daughter. But why do I almost feel like Caro is the Queen's proper daughter?

And I really like the way we saw Addie again for a little, and how she warmed to Jules. I like Liam helping her get a safe stable job. Curious about the Queen taking the energy from people. (hide spoiler)]

If you get to the Novice and want to read book 2 let me know!

I'll set it up for Feb 1st then and post the link here.

@Jen here's the link: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

[Maddie]

Rachmi wrote: "Chapter 22 [spoilers removed]"

Yeah all of this speculation! (view spoiler)[So strange though, the way Jules' time seemed infinite, the way the coins didn't fully melt, although Caro seemed better, and the way they molded together, and then melted back into Jules' skin! Crazy! What's going on. (hide spoiler)]

I will want to read Book 2, but not too sure when. Might actually have time, right after Novice, if you wanted to do that?

Yeah just let me know once you finish the Novice and we can plan the Inquisition

[Maddie]

Rachmi wrote: "Chapter 26 [spoilers removed]"

Chapter 27 Of course she should stop (view spoiler)[thinking of Roan. So annoying. (hide spoiler)] But I can't believe that (view spoiler)[Liam knows about her controlling time, hence why he's chasing her away. I knew there was more to him than just being cruel, because that's never the bottom line. (hide spoiler)] The way she (view spoiler)[figured out that the Morses were her family, that Ina was her twin, and that the Queen thought she had Jules, that the Queen is the Sorceress... (hide spoiler)] That was all just silly. Too quick to jump to that conclusion, too quick to believe it, no proof. It would be so good if she was wrong XD And when she talked about (view spoiler)[wishing she could take Cora's time back, didn't she do that? Didn't it melt back into her? (hide spoiler)]

Awesome, I'll probably finish Novice on the 22nd, and then I have a few free days until the 25th, which we can either spend on Inquisition or on another book. I need to order the 3rd one too. So Empress next week and the 3rd one of Novice series the week after. I've started this new thing where I order one book online a week.

Sounds like a plan to me. I love the Battlemage cover.

[Maddie]

Finished (view spoiler)[This ending was shit. All I want to say, but I'll make myself say more. How did she figure all of that stuff out so quickly. Even I was a little shocked that it was Cora who was the Sorceress, but I was so bleh when at the end she just suddenly felt safe around Liam, and wanted to kiss him. Like 'no bitch you hated him just until you realised that it wasn't Roan you loved, and it must be Liam.' Like wtf! How did she even come to the conclusion that she loved Roan... She didn't even know him anymore! And then him confessing to her that he didn't love Ina, but he loved her. So stupid. (hide spoiler)]
That ending in itself, well the last 100pg, lowered this book to a 4-star. Still good, but that ending was so stupid.

[Maddie]

Is that the third one?

And awesome :D Are we just using the same thread as Inquisition?

[Maddie]

Review: This book would've received yet another 5 stars from me IF THAT ENDING DIDN'T SUCK. I mean, what even was that ending! (view spoiler)[How did she figure all of that stuff out so quickly. Even I was a little shocked that it was Cora who was the Sorceress, but I was so bleh when at the end she just suddenly felt safe around Liam, and wanted to kiss him. Like 'no bitch you hated him just until you realised that it wasn't Roan you loved, and it must be Liam.' Like wtf! How did she even come to the conclusion that she loved Roan... She didn't even know him anymore! And then him confessing to her that he didn't love Ina, but he loved her. So stupid. (hide spoiler)] She also was never appropriately shocked, or upset, or grievous. I mean, so much shit happened to her in this book, and she just went along with it?? No. Not believable. And how does she (view spoiler)[so quickly become immune to the effects of money? At the beginning of the book she's all 'oh I desperately need more time', and then at the end when she sees the money in the vault it's like 'none of this matters to me anymore' over the course of probably not even a week. (hide spoiler)] Up until the last 100 pages everything was fine, it was all amazing. Last 100 pages turned to custard.

It doesn't look like there is a thread for either of those so we could make a series thread for the last two.
