(Liene) (lieniitte) | 727 comments I think I might join in on this one. I wasn't planning on buying it or reading it anytime soon, but I just randomly found a hardback copy in great condition in a used shop, so this is perfect for me! :)

Mandiann (goodreadscommandiann) | 6882 comments I have owned this forever and never found the time to read it but I love fantasy.

(Liene) (lieniitte) | 727 comments This will be my first time reading 2 books at once, since I have 2 buddy reads at this time, but with one we are going a set number of chapters a day so it should be fine, I hope :D
Are you liking it so far?


message 4: by (Liene) (new)

(Liene) (lieniitte) | 727 comments Wow, I dont't think I could read so many, simply because if I am liking a book, I want to read it, not messing up my head with even more books to think about, but just enjoying the one I am reading :D
I don't know, I really don't mind in any case :) That one is going on for 4 days, so how long do you think it would take you for this book? I'll agree to almost anything :D
I would like to be done by the 27th though, since I have another buddy read starting then.

(Liene) (lieniitte) | 727 comments My book, the hardcover version, has almost exactly 500 pages, so I think I could read about 100 pages per day of it, maybe a bit more. I could probably do 125 of it. In all I could read more, but I have the other book as well. Do you think that is too much? I mean, because you have other books you are reading as well, 3 more.. seems like a lot to me :D

(Liene) (lieniitte) | 727 comments It's fine, we can still discuss spoilers in any case! :)
I will try to do as much as I can, When I finish this really depends on which of the 2 books I am reading I like more.
I guess we should read mostly at our own pace and just post whenever we have something to say then :)

And I am really glad you are liking the book so far! :)

Mandiann (goodreadscommandiann) | 6882 comments I haven't started yet but will soon.


message 8: by Mandiann (new)

Mandiann (goodreadscommandiann) | 6882 comments I dislike books without chapter numbers. I stopped at Flight of Destiny. I am having a hard time keeping everyone straight in my mind. This seems to have a large cast of characters. I am excited to find out more about (view spoiler)


message 9: by Mandiann (new)

Mandiann (goodreadscommandiann) | 6882 comments How is everyone doing? I am a few chapters further. I am so scared for Eragon's (view spoiler)

It is such a large book and I have so many others on the go that I am moving quite slowly.

Is everyone liking it so far?


message 10: by (Liene) (new)

(Liene) (lieniitte) | 727 comments I haven't really gotten far into it at all. I had to finish another buddy read, and I am doing online studies and those suddenly started a couple of weeks earlier than I had thought they would. So I haven't really had time to read much. I do hope I get to. I haven't even read enough to know if I like the book yet... :D


message 11: by Mandiann (new)

Mandiann (goodreadscommandiann) | 6882 comments Oh good, I don't feel too bad about not being very far and moving slowly then. I will continue to read a chapter or two a day and take my time with this one then (unless I get hooked).


message 12: by Mandiann (new)

Mandiann (goodreadscommandiann) | 6882 comments I stopped at "Admonishments".

Brom(view spoiler)


message 13: by (Liene) (new)

(Liene) (lieniitte) | 727 comments Wow, I am really not feeling this book right now... I am still hoping to get into it more, I haven't read much at all. But it's just not happening.. :D
I'll try again... :D


message 14: by Mandiann (new)

Mandiann (goodreadscommandiann) | 6882 comments It took me a while to get into it. I wasn't feeling it at first but once I got to "A Riders Blade", it started to pick up.


message 15: by (Liene) (new)

(Liene) (lieniitte) | 727 comments I'll probably try again when you are able to, Sadie.

How far in are you now, Mandiann?


message 16: by Mandiann (new)

Mandiann (goodreadscommandiann) | 6882 comments About 30%. AT the beginning of "Daret".
