Reign of the Fallen (Reign of the Fallen #1) by Sarah Glenn Marsh - Restarting September 18th 2021

[Anna 'Bookbuyer']

Odessa is one of Karthia's master necromancers, catering to the kingdom's ruling Dead. Whenever a noble dies, it's Odessa's job to raise them by retrieving their souls from a dreamy and dangerous shadow world called the Deadlands. But there is a cost to being raised--the Dead must remain shrouded, or risk transforming into zombie-like monsters known as Shades. If even a hint of flesh is exposed, the grotesque transformation will begin.

A dramatic uptick in Shade attacks raises suspicions and fears among Odessa's necromancer community. Soon a crushing loss of one of their own reveals a disturbing conspiracy: someone is intentionally creating Shades by tearing shrouds from the Dead--and training them to attack. Odessa is faced with a terrifying question: What if her necromancer's magic is the weapon that brings Karthia to its knees?

Ch. 7 (view spoiler)[ So far this is pretty decent! I don't really care for Evander, but I like the magic system and the necromancy. I don't see how the MC is bisexual yet but maybe that will come soon? The dead and shade business is pretty fascinating. I wonder who killed the Master Nickinor(?). I really like Valoria! (hide spoiler)]

[Dr. Andy]

Ch. 11 (view spoiler)[ I really hate how Odessa is becoming so dependent on that fucking calming tonic. Ugh girl STAHP! I love what Valoria said about how she was born as one person and still is one person even if Evander is dead. Such a smart girl (hide spoiler)]

Ch. 18 (view spoiler)[ FINALLY! So glad Meredy and Valoria are detoxing Odessa. She fucking needs it. And why did Meredy have to be stupid and go into the deadlands! I'm so glad Odessa, Simeon and Jax managed to save her. Plus now they know something about the missing dead and strange plot that's happening. (hide spoiler)]

[Dr. Andy]

Ch. 24 (view spoiler)[ Okay so I am like super suspicious of Hadrian. Like he's sending Odessa away when she's probably the only one who could stop the kidnappings and other shit going on. Hmmm okay then. I am totally shipping Odessa and Meredy omg! I thought Odessa and Valoria might've been a thing, but I'm okay with this development too! I hope Odessa kills Vain and soon! (hide spoiler)]

Finished (view spoiler)[ I knew it was Hadrian. ugh what a dick. I was so mad when Evander's mother was part of this conspiracy as well. And I was really depressed when it seemed like Simian and Jax were dead, I am so glad they're not! I think that would've been too much death for me to handle. I love Valoria as Queen and I knew Meredy was going to run away too when she tried to tell Odessa at the party. (hide spoiler)]

[Krystal]

Signing up for December 16th!

[Krystal]

Up to chapter 3. I’m loving this book already. It’s different (view spoiler)[in the necromancer things yet still has the fantasy element. I would like to know much more about this magic and how this all happened. (hide spoiler)]

[Krystal]

Up to chapter 6. (view spoiler)[Why risk the shades by bringing the dead back? What exactly is the point, in the long wrong. Is it really work it when the shades are so, extremely dangerous? It seems that at any moment someone could accidently see a part of the dead, even with them shrouded. Also, why would they want to live like that? Just to live again? Again, I wonder, is it worth it? (hide spoiler)]

[Krystal]

Up to chapter 11. (view spoiler)[ Wow, I did not see that coming. Van dying so soon in the book gives way to the possibility that they could find a way for a necromancer to be risen? (hide spoiler)]

[Krystal]

Up to chapter 15. (view spoiler)[ Wow, all that in regards to the shade and it was easily defeated? (hide spoiler)]

[Krystal]

Andrea wrote: "Ch. 11 [spoilers removed]

Ch. 18 [spoilers removed]"

Yes! I completely agree with you.

[Krystal]

Up to chapter 21. (view spoiler)[Do I want Sparrow and Mer together? Maybe... (hide spoiler)]

[Krystal]

Up to chapter 20. Yikes!!!! So many things are happening! One thing I really love, a detail I love, is how the (view spoiler)[ eye color goes with a certain type of mage magic. That’s pretty neat. (hide spoiler)]

[Krystal]

Above is supposed to be 29, not 20.

[Krystal]

Finished. The ending leaves you wanting more and they do a good job of leaving it open enough for a second book.

Will start this today...

[Dr. Andy]

I'll be a couple days late!

[Dr. Andy]

ch 13 (view spoiler)[Things have gotten off with a bang. Something is definitely right in Karthia. I feel so bad for Odessa and losing Evander :( His death was so gorey too!! But I want to know more about the necromancers and Valoria and everything!! (hide spoiler)]

[[deleted user]]

omg I got side tracked. lol. I will pick it up today for sure.

[Dr. Andy]

ch 18 (view spoiler)[ I'm so glad Odessa has friends who care enough about her to help her through this withdrawal. I know it's against her will but it's also going to benefit her. Her grief was so raw, I don't know why I didn't see that the first time around. (hide spoiler)]

Ch. 24 (view spoiler)[ Damn I am so shipping Odessa and Meredy! I love the confirmation that Odessa is bisexual too and Simian is gay! Here for all the rep! I'm so pissed at Prince Haidren, can't believe he did all of this. But I'm also loving the book!! (hide spoiler)]

[Dr. Andy]

sounds good!!

[[deleted user]]

Up to Ch. 7 (view spoiler)[ I definitely want to know how that Duke became a Shade, and who killed Master Nicanor!!! I am enjoying this book, I am glad that Odessa killed the Shade, I was kinda thrown when she was burning along the Shade, but thankfully Danial is a healer and was able to heal her. It sucks that Necromancers cannot bring back other necromancers. I don't know what to think of Valoria yet... I love Evander! (hide spoiler)]

[[deleted user]]

Up to Ch. 11: (view spoiler)[ What in the heck?? I knew someone was going to die but I so did not expect it to be Evander. I feel so bad for Odessa, she is trying so hard to numb her pain but she is hurting herself in the process, she is now seeing things, she is going to end up hurting someone else! it better not be the prince, I'm starting to like him. I like that her friends are there for her too. I feel bad for Lyda. (hide spoiler)]

[[deleted user]]

Up to Ch. 17: (view spoiler)[ Wow I can't believe Meredy almost got killed, those fake necromancers deserve to die! How in the heck are they keeping Shades as pets? I can't imagine the love of your life dying and you having to cope with it. I'm glad Odessa killed that Shade that killed Evander. I wonder what that woman meant by "There will be others!" (hide spoiler)]

[[deleted user]]

Andy wrote: "ch 13 [spoilers removed]"

I know I feel so bad for Odessa, I cannot imagine how it feels to lose someone like that.

[[deleted user]]

Finished... (view spoiler)[ I love that Meredy is on the ship as well. I also liked the Valoria is making so many positive changes and helping the people of Karthia. I didnt really want Hardian to die but he was going mad and can't believe he willingly had the King and Queen turn to Shades and destroy its people. I glad Odessa was able to make it out of the Deadlands and I love Lysander he is awesome!! (hide spoiler)]

Andy wrote: "ch 18 [spoilers removed]

Ch. 24 [spoilers removed]"

Yes, I'm glad her friends and Meredy were there to help Odessa out of her stupor!

I think Hadrien was so misguided, he thought he was doing what was best.

I don't like the names of the characters... they are different but kinda hard to remember... Hadrien??? I would remember Adrien better... Valoria??? how about Valerie??? I guess that would be too plain... sigh

[Dr. Andy]

(view spoiler)[ I'm super excited that both Meredy and Odessa were on the ship! (hide spoiler)]

Yes that worked out perfect... Neither of them planned for it lol
