Once & Future (Once & Future #1) by Amy Rose Capetta and Cori McCarthy - Starting April 20th 2019

[Maddie]

I know I said I wasn't going to read this... but I'm going to actually finish it this month, it works for an OWL and I need it, forgot! So I'll finish it in the next 10hr, so sorry for speeding ahead!

[Wiktoria]

Oh no worries! I want to finish furyborn first anyways since it's due back first

[Maddie]

Yeah I'll be finishing that up tomorrow.

[Maddie]

Keep me up to date with where you are! I finished it last night!

[Maddie]

Read any more?

[Wiktoria]

I haven't read a page of any book xD

[Wiktoria]

I'm starting it again today, I hope I'll get some of it done haha

[Maddie]

Okay sounds good to me! Keep me updated XD

[Wiktoria]

I read Wives & Administrators
(view spoiler)[ don't mean to be that person but I hate Ari and Gwen's marriage. Is it just me or does it make no sense? They haven't seen each other for so many years, they met again and they got married within a day. And now they're so lovey-dovey with each other? but why? There's literally no chemistry between them! I fucking hate when authors make characters go into relationships before we got to really know them because I can't root for them if I couldn't care less about them. and what was even the point of going to Troy? (hide spoiler)]

[Maddie]

Yeah I hate it too. (view spoiler)[They just did it for the alliance so they can get something they need? I'm not sure, I'm didn't really follow it.. (hide spoiler)]

[Wiktoria]

I read the next chapter (or two) (view spoiler)[ I actually enjoyed the chapter. We didn't have much of Gwen and I loved that. Yeah, I still don't like here. And of course Ari is saying that Gwen definitely won't hurt her, that's probably what every Arthur had said. Those two flashbacks we're interesting. We got to meet Ari's parents and see the first time her new parents found her. And as to Merlin's memory, I don't really see why he blames himself, from what I gathered from his explanation, he didn't want to be there with the swan lady, she pulled him in there so it's not his fault he wasn't there (hide spoiler)]

[Maddie]

XD Slow going, not enjoying it?

[Wiktoria]

I just can't find the time xD I have so much stuff to do this month. But things are picking up now so maybe I'll finish it this week xD

[Maddie]

Yaaaayyyyy. And I'm the same. I've read 1 book this month.. But that is about to change!

[Wiktoria]

Up to and incl Impossible & Unacceptable. (view spoiler)[ alright so Ari's dead but I can already smell a resurrection coming our way soon. So that will definitely make my rating go down even lower since I despise that trope. The prison break sure was an interesting chapter and I really enjoyed it. Honestly I don't really like Ari's perspective and I hope she stays dead even though it's obvious she won't. What I do love is Merlin. He's such an awesome character and I love the chapters from his perspective. Also Val! He's such a sweetheart (hide spoiler)]

[Wiktoria]

Hey, high five! XD

[Maddie]

Definitely! Finishing King of Scars today, you read it?

[Wiktoria]

No xD the only book I've read in the grishaverse is shadow and bone.

[Wiktoria]

up to and including check&mate (view spoiler)[ I liked Ari's return. I like Merlin and Val, theyre awesome. I hate Gwen and Kay and these chapters only made me hate them more. If Ari forgives Gwen I'm going to throw the book at the wall. Kay is dead and frankly, I couldn't care less xD (hide spoiler)]

[Maddie]

Keep on going with Grisha! The first one is average, but the trilogy gets so crazy!

And yes I love Val! (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[ Morgana invaded her or something? then created a clone to make everyone think Ari's dead (hide spoiler)]

[Maddie]

Ah gotcha! And yeah it's one of my least favourite tropes too because we all know (view spoiler)[the MC will come back to life. (hide spoiler)]

[Wiktoria]

Yeah! It never makes any sense. That's also why the (view spoiler)[ last hp book annoyed me sm (hide spoiler)]

[Maddie]

Yes exactly!

[Wiktoria]

i only have like 3 chapters left but im so not interested now XD

[Maddie]

Yeah I wasn't either XD Was thinking about DNFing

[Wiktoria]

Did you finish it?

[Maddie]

Nope, I stopped. Didn't care enough to keep going.

[Wiktoria]

aw damn, where did you stop?

[Maddie]

I didn't get to Check & Mate, your next update XD

[Wiktoria]

Aw crap xD you should've told me!

[Maddie]

How come XD

[Maddie]

Would you have stopped too?

[Wiktoria]

Well no but I wouldn't start talking about stuff you didn't get to xD

[Maddie]

Haha no worries, I'll read your spoilers so I know what happened

[Wiktoria]

ah alright! ill hopefully finish it today

[Maddie]

Hopefully! Enjoy!

[Wiktoria]

I literally have 20 pages left but I really don't want to read it. this book has been so disappointing and im really sad about it.

[Maddie]

Oh man!

[Wiktoria]

so I read fire&space and im annoyed again (view spoiler)[ Ari actually forgave Gwen? well of fucking course she did because that's definitely how every person would act *eyeroll* (hide spoiler)]
