Mayim de Vries | 2948 comments Profuse bleeding. The baby might be in danger. :( they don't know what's the reason.


Daniel | 1534 comments Prayers to you and your family


Laura (lauradragonchild) | 6554 comments Dear God. I pray all will be allright!! Lots of positive energy coming your way Mayim. And lots of hugs and kisses!!! 😘😘😘😘

Mayim de Vries | 2948 comments Thank you so much. For prayers and good thought. I was scared witless. So Janny is keeping me company so that I don't think about things beyond my control and instead accompany Mykkael on his quest.


Laura (lauradragonchild) | 6554 comments That's good Mayim. I mean good that you think about something else and not the stuff you can't control. This book was also my companion during a very dark time in January. And I clung to it the way a drowning man clings to a thrown life-line. And amazingly, it helped! Another reason for which it's always gonna be THE BOOK for me.

I do hope everything will be fine and you'll get to read this also to your little baby when he or she is all grown up. 💕💕

Mayim de Vries | 2948 comments It might turn out to be THE BOOK, Laura. :) It keeps me engaged, and I am ever so grateful for it.

On the side note, I am so frustrated that (view spoiler)

Veronica  (readingonthefly) | 3613 comments I wasn't able to join in for this BR but was popping in to see the general, non-spoilery response but, Mayim, I have you and your family in my thoughts. I'm sending you all the positive thoughts, prayers, and energy I can!

Mayim de Vries | 2948 comments Thank you, Veronica! We are still hanging on and I am sure your prayers and good thoughts are crucial.


Olivia (vinjii) | 1147 comments Good thoughts coming your way, Mayim.

Mayim de Vries | 2948 comments Thank you so much, Olivia!

Also, I wanted to say that Taskin was magnificent in chapter 15! I'd give a lot to be as intimidating in my bathrobe (looking at her pajamas).

Mayim de Vries | 2948 comments Chapter 16 (view spoiler)

He is magnificent. I agree. The story wouldn't be the same without him in it. I love him too you know. :)


Laura (lauradragonchild) | 6554 comments Mayim wrote: "Chapter 16 [spoilers removed]"

Yes. That was making me angry. It's like people do not want to see. They do not want to admit.


Laura (lauradragonchild) | 6554 comments @Mayim - hope you two are fine. Positive energy is still being sent your way!! 😘😘

And thank you girls for voting on my poll. I've got 14 votes asking for audio for Janny till now but hope some more will gather later.

@Daniel - you still didn't tell us about the other scene in chapter 7. And how do you like the book so far?


Daniel | 1534 comments It was the scene with Mykkael knocking out the guard that was coming to escort him to Taskin. Which was completely explained in the next chapter. I am enjoying the book but a bit of real life has stopped my progress until tomorrow-currently in chapter ten. I will vote in your poll after I join the group..lol
Hope everyone and their respective families are doing well.


Laura (lauradragonchild) | 6554 comments I didn't realise you need to join the group to vote Daniel. Sorry. But still, it's just a click.

Life seems to be against all of us these days.
Hope things will go fine for you also.


Daniel | 1534 comments Last comment-my issues are work related not personal. Not even in the same galaxy in comparison to what others are dealing with.
Back tomorrow evening and praying for all be well and/or better.


message 68: by Mayim (new) - added it

Mayim de Vries | 2948 comments All is going for the better with us. Thank you! The bleeding has stopped.

As for the book, I love Vensic! (view spoiler)

Veronica  (readingonthefly) | 3613 comments So glad to hear that, Mayim. I'm pretty much only checking this thread now to get updates on you. *hugs*

Because I already know you're all enjoying the book. :-)


Laura (lauradragonchild) | 6554 comments I laughed out loud at that part too. Even kept the quote on my update last time. Vensic rocks!!

And I am so happy you are better Mayim. Lots of hugs from me too.

This book is just great, Veronica. I am so grateful to Laura for bringing this novel to my attention. It's literally keeping me sane. This writer is a fantasy goddess. She writes better than Kay, I kid you not. Her plot is exquisite. Her characters more alive than some real people I know. I am enjoying every page.


message 72: by Veronica (new) - added it

Veronica  (readingonthefly) | 3613 comments I'm glad you have something good to keep your mind busy, Mayim.

Tell me true though, ladies. Is there a love triangle in this? Anytime I see a story that involves a woman and two men I get wary.


message 73: by Mayim (new) - added it

Mayim de Vries | 2948 comments Nope. No triangle. It's really refreshing. Great females though!


Laura (lauradragonchild) | 6554 comments No love triangle Veronica. Unrequited love - perhaps from a certain angle/side. True deep and long lasting love - deffinitely yes. Can't say more because I'll spoil and I am sure by now our Mayim is already guessing which love I'm talking about. I can practically hear the wheels clicking. 😀

And Mayim - now I've just got to say it girl: I TOLD YOU SO!!! Better than Kay! (Sorry. Just couldn't hold it back. :D)


Olivia (vinjii) | 1147 comments @Mayim, now imagine an 11 book epic high fantasy by her....Janny Wurts is something else.

I hope to read the next few chapters tonight.


message 76: by Veronica (new) - added it

Veronica  (readingonthefly) | 3613 comments Whew! Thanks, ladies. Now I can safely add it to my TBR list. :-)


message 77: by Mayim (new) - added it

Mayim de Vries | 2948 comments I am at chapter 25, the pressure is unbearable but at least all the masks have fallen off.


Laura (lauradragonchild) | 6554 comments I'm glad you are enjoying it Mayim. :)

How are you holding up? Everything alright with the two of you?


Laura (lauradragonchild) | 6554 comments Update for my little poll: I've got 41 votes till now as follows:

12 votes for I don't do audio, sorry
3 votes for I'd like audio for To Ride Hell's Chasm
4 votes for I'd like audio for Curse of the Mistwraith
and
22 votes for I'd like audio for Wars of Light and Shadow Series.

And I've even got a few great comments stating that audio would be very important in reading the series. I'll reply to all those lovely people tomorrow. And fingers crossed there'll be some more votes by then.

Mayim de Vries | 2948 comments Whoa, finished! I will need some time to tame emotions.

This WILL NOT be my last Janny.

On the side note, thank you so much for support and encouragements. We are back at home and hopefully, the crisis has been averted. The Seedling is alive and I am getting better.

Veronica  (readingonthefly) | 3613 comments Soooo happy and relieved to hear that Mayim. Be kind to yourself and take things easy. :-)

We are here, even though we might be in different continents... If not for anything else, we can provide emotional support! All positive energy sent your way!!!!

Mayim de Vries | 2948 comments You have no idea how it helps. Mr de Vries was like a rock beside me, but just to know that you, my marvelous friends, are also beside me in thought and prayer, that was a miracle that made my eyes moist more than once.

Olivia (vinjii) | 1147 comments Ok, we found a house, we'll be moving the first weekend of November, now to pack up all my books!

I'm still going, a bit slower than I usually would on all my books.

Very glad to hear, Mayim, that you're all right!


Laura (lauradragonchild) | 6554 comments @Sandra - the poll is closed already. :(
Didn't you get an invite to vote? You were supposed to. I've sent one to all my friends.

@Olivia - yeay for the house!
And we'll still be on the thread for you. :)


Olivia (vinjii) | 1147 comments I really enjoy how much Janny Wurts takes the time to develop characters in this careful, slow way. She just approaches every relationship with so much care and attention to detail.

I'm halfway through now, and I'm enjoying it a lot.


Laura (lauradragonchild) | 6554 comments @Olivia - Yes. Her characters are amazing. And the best part is that it applies for not only the main protagonists but even the side characters.

I'm glad you also like it.

@Mayim - you never did tell me how you felt about the last few pages of this book.


message 90: by Mayim (new) - added it

Mayim de Vries | 2948 comments I don't think I can process it now.


Daniel | 1534 comments Hello and nice to be back. Hope everyone’s holidays are going as great as possible. Halfway finished and loving this book. Mykkael has more honor in his pinkie than most people have in their entire lives. A great rollicking book and looking forward to finishing it today or tomorrow!!


Laura (lauradragonchild) | 6554 comments Hey there Daniel! Nice to have you back! And I'm happy you love this. :)
Looking forward to chatting about it with you.


Daniel | 1534 comments I just passed the chapter when Mykkael (view spoiler)


Laura (lauradragonchild) | 6554 comments Yes. The pace will keep increasing.
I'm curious to know how you'll feel about the last few pages. Those brought goosebumps for me.

Better keep the spoilers just in case. :D


Daniel | 1534 comments I am at the 70% mark so a ways away from the end! But hopefully finish tomorrow and then discuss...yay

Olivia (vinjii) | 1147 comments Random thoughts about the middle of the book:

(view spoiler)


Olivia (vinjii) | 1147 comments What do you fear Mykkael?

Failure.


Olivia (vinjii) | 1147 comments I prefered the beginning half to the second half to be honest, and I’d like to re-read to see what I’ve missed the first time around. The last few pages broke my heart.


Laura (lauradragonchild) | 6554 comments @Olivia - I loved all those also. And I felt the same way about the book. I loved the first part more and the last few pages... those were fabulous!!
