[Dee Dee]

30% - (view spoiler)[Elias and Laia meet and sparks fly! I'm conflicted, because I want him with Helene but I already like his and Laia's chemistry. What to do, what to do? lol (hide spoiler)]

I feel your pain! I just got to this part myself! (view spoiler)[Is it bad that I ship Laia with both Elias and Keenan?? It depends on my mood while reading on who I ship her with at that precise moment... (hide spoiler)]

I also agree with these ships! How did Sabaa manage this??? lol

[Dee Dee]

73% - (view spoiler)[ Poor Helene. All she wants is for Elias to see her...and then he goes and says the Most Cruel thing she could imagine. Meanwhile, he's struggling so much with his emotions and his obligations. I can't wait to see what the augers have in store for them next. (hide spoiler)]

[Missie ☆]

Part III-84% I stayed up very late last night reading... (view spoiler)[DAMN YOU MARCUS! I don't like him, and I doubt I ever will. Though I do pity him for the loss of his brother...
Helene, I have so much hope for you. I know that so much lies beneath the surface with you.
Laia + Elias *swoon* I ship them so hard, but I doubt that ship will be a thing once she sees Keenan again. I CAN'T TELL WHICH ONE I SHIP HARDER!! Dee Dee help me! (hide spoiler)]

I just finished and asalskdnlfskndlfknsdlf (view spoiler)[I'm not sorry for Marcus that his brother is dead. I'm sorry for the Empire. I absolutely HAVE to see how this turns out. It's so sad that Helene is going to be his enemy now :'( You can tell how much it hurts her. (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[ I wonder what he meant by that and I hope that she tell Elias soon what that means. I hope she doesn't really belong to Marcus. He is just as bad as the Commander. (view spoiler)[ (hide spoiler)] (hide spoiler)]

AHH I JUST FINISHED TOO!! Sorry it's taken me so long to update, school has been keeping me pretty busy! (view spoiler)[Ok, I hate to admit, but I don't love Helene, but I don't hate her either. I have a begrudging respect for her, but I ship Elias and Laia, so sorry girl.
Marcus needs to fall off a cliff and die. Not like in those books where a character supposedly dies but ends up coming back to life. No, he needs to fall off a very tall cliff and get eaten up by the sharks waiting for him at the bottom. Only then I'll be happy. (hide spoiler)]

[Dee Dee]

Ahaha I agree with your judgement for Marcus

[Sarah A]

50% (view spoiler)[ Why does it not surprise me that the Commander wants her own son died. I really hope she gets what is coming to her by the end of this series. (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[ I feel bad for Marcus. I think his brother was the only one person he actually cared about. Now who will stop him from doing something bad. We will have a whole bad Marcus unleashed now. (hide spoiler)]

[Pragya]

Sarah wrote: "50% [spoilers removed]"

(view spoiler)[ I kept wishing she dies asap in the book. The amount of evil she single handed unleashes. She is pure heartless. (hide spoiler)]

[Pragya]

Evelyn wrote: "Finished
[spoilers removed]"

(view spoiler)[ I agree, we got a better POV for Helene's actions. I am scared for her. Marcus has not hidden his intentions for her though out the book. (hide spoiler)]

[Sarah A]

75% (view spoiler)[ So Elias could have been a little bit for tactful when telling Helene about her loving him. I feel so about for Laia and what she has had to go through just to try and help her brother. (hide spoiler)]

[Sarah A]

Finished: (view spoiler)[ I am so glad Laia saved Elias in the end, but I hope they get out of the city alive. (hide spoiler)]

Part I: I-III
(view spoiler)[I like that the beginning wasn't slow, plus the writing is phenomenal!

Poor Nan and Pop. :( I hope they won't torture Darin or even kill him jdsfksf (hide spoiler)]

[Johanna]

Chapter 3
(view spoiler)[I'm so glad I started reading this finally, because this start was so amazing and thrilling!! I can't remember last time when a book has had this action-packed start. I was so on the edge while reading and I'm now so afraid for Laia. I hope she finds someone to help her and I really hope her brother is still alive. (hide spoiler)]

[Johanna]

Nadine wrote: "Part I: I-III

(view spoiler)[I agree, this start was everything else than slow! It was so awful scene where they killed Nan & Pop :'( (hide spoiler)]

[Johanna]

Chapter 4
(view spoiler)[Oh, that boy was killed so violently! Poor boy :'( I'm a bit worried how Elias is going to success with his escape... And that evil commander is his mother?? (hide spoiler)]

[Nadine]

[Johanna]

Nadine wrote: "Johanna wrote: "Chapter 4

[spoilers removed]"

Exactly, haha

[Johanna]

Chapter 10
(view spoiler)[It's quite scary to think Cain and his kind because they know what you're thinking... It sounds so thrilling that Laia would spy the commander!! Can't wait to see what's going to happen! (hide spoiler)]

[Johanna]

Chapter 11
(view spoiler)[This is sooo thrilling to follow Laia's story, I enjoy reading so much!! I love her character, because I'm a bit tired with MCs that are overwhelming brave or who has superpowers etc. I love Laia, because she is doing something really brave althought she's really really scared <3 And she doesn't think she is brave and would rather be out of the danger. She is so likable, because I could think me in her shoes. :D :D (hide spoiler)]

[Johanna]

Chapter 12
(view spoiler)[It would be nice to know if Helen is trustworthy and what's her secret. I think she is trustworthy but you never know... Because I think she is one of the good ones I'm a bit worried for her. I'm thinking if someone is using her for bad deeds, because she's troubled with something. (hide spoiler)]

[Johanna]

Part 1
(view spoiler)[I love chapters with Laia! She is in a very bad situation and I hope so much she is going to make it. The commander is a pure evils! (hide spoiler)]

[Johanna]

Chapter 14
(view spoiler)[Now Elias and Laia has met! And poor Laia! I knew something would happen to her because they were late from the meeting. Now it's starts to be interesting to follow Elias completing these tasks. (hide spoiler)]

[Nadine]

Johanna wrote: "Chapter 11

Agree!! I enjoyed reading Elias' POV as well

[Johanna]

Nadine wrote: "Johanna wrote: "Chapter 11

I agree, Elias' POV is now more interesting when I've read this forward ^_^

Chapter 16
(view spoiler)[Wow how intensive! There is some ugly play happening and now I'm worried if Hel is going to survive :/ (hide spoiler)]

[Johanna]

Chapter 22
(view spoiler)[Laia's situation seems almost impossible, she hasn't got information and rebellions are maybe something you shouldn't trust to. (hide spoiler)]

[Johanna]

Chapter 23
(view spoiler)[Oh wow!! It was so thrilling when Laia spied that evil woman and there was also that creature!! This is so thrilling read. I felt for Izzie when she wanted to help but Laia didn't accept it :'( I really hope nothing bad would happen to her or her mother :( Rebellions aren't really helpful, because they doesn't even help if Laia hasn't information first... :/ (hide spoiler)]

[Nadine]

Johanna wrote: "Chapter 23
[spoilers removed]"

(view spoiler)[rebellions kinda sus jk (hide spoiler)]

[Johanna]

Chapter 26
(view spoiler)[That was surprising what happened with Helene! It doesn't look very good now :/ And it's intriguing that she has now power to cure! (hide spoiler)]

Chapter 27
(view spoiler)[That festival is so magical and I'm so happy for Izzi <3 (hide spoiler)]

[Johanna]

Chapter 33
(view spoiler)[I still enjoy reading this book SO MUCH! Now I'm worried what happens to Izzi & Laia because they saw the secret door and Marcus & Zak know it... And I hope Helen & Elias would find a way to be friends again. And where Laia's brother realky is: there is different information about it and I think Mazen might be lying. There is so many mysteries and that makes this so thrilling read! (hide spoiler)]

[Johanna]

Chapter 34
(view spoiler)[I really hope that Helene would start to see how wrong their way of living is. And can't wait to see how Laia gets help. I didn't understand how rough Marcus was :( (hide spoiler)]

[Johanna]

Chapter 35
(view spoiler)[I'm happy that Helene helped and ut was so funny that Laia immediately thought that she would kill her :D (hide spoiler)]

[Johanna]

Chapter 36
(view spoiler)[Now I feel for Helene. She is maybe good person after all and it's hard to be in love with someone who doesn't love you back. (hide spoiler)]

[Johanna]

Chapter 38
(view spoiler)[What what whaaat??! Are this happening or is their opponents only illusions?? I hope they aren't really killing each others!! (hide spoiler)]

[Johanna]

Chapter 44
(view spoiler)[No no no no noooo, what just happened?? Is Laia really dead?? Is Elias going to die?? I love this book, this is sooo good!! (hide spoiler)]

[Johanna]

Finished
(view spoiler)[Oh my. This book was perfect for my taste! I loved the violence that was horrible & creepy but made me to be on edge while reading - you couldn't trust if characters were safe. There were lots of mystery things, creepy creatures and thrilling scenes. I loved how multi-dimensional characters were! I also loved the writing style. This was extremely enjoyable read and I'm going to continue with the series. (hide spoiler)]
