hi everyone

[Greta]

Hi there! I'm looking forward to reading this with you all!

[Angie ~aka Reading Machine~]

Hi everyone!

[VNerdbooks]

Hellooooo!

[Angie ~aka Reading Machine~]

When do we want to start? Chapters or pages?

[Greta]

I said this in another buddy read, but if we could start sometime after the 1st, that would be so wonderful! The 8th and after please :-) Otherwise I don't care at all how we do it...whatever you all want.

[Ezi, Factory Superintendent]

Are y'all ready? I'd think we can go with this one

[VNerdbooks]

Yep I'm all ready to go with this one.

[Ezi, Factory Superintendent]

I started Katsa kicks big bootie, doesn't she? WOW! And guess how old she is? (view spoiler)[ 11 years old
Yea, take that Gin Blanco, another assassin protege.

I think at that age I was playing with cabbage patch (hide spoiler)]

[VNerdbooks]

Yeah she does, not sure if I like all of the narratives though it's a bit off putting.

Getting on your nerves already?

[VNerdbooks]

Lol yeah I didn't read the synopsis before reading, it's not usually my cup of tea, but I shall continue with it.

It's a bit too swashbuckling for me lol.

I don't know if I am loving either. Of course I am only on Chapter 3

[VNerdbooks]

Yeah I'm only about on 3 or 4, they are long chapters too

[Angie ~aka Reading Machine~]

I read the first five chapters. I'm curious about Gracelings but I thought (view spoiler)[King Randa is a complete bastard in his treatment of Katsa (hide spoiler)].

[VNerdbooks]

I'm up to chapter 10 and I'm still not convinced lol

Katsa (view spoiler)[ is now training with Po and he knows his grandfather is in the castle (hide spoiler)]

[Ezi, Factory Superintendent]

Katsa [spoilers removed]"

I am in the same place. The book hasn't grabbed me yet. Katsa's dad seems like a King douchebag. Can someone have a talk with Katsa about the birds and the bees please?

[VNerdbooks]

Ahh why don't they (view spoiler)[ just get it on already!!?!?!?! We know it's going to happen! (hide spoiler)]

[Ezi, Factory Superintendent]

I like that Katsa knows she is a weapon, but has some morality

[VNerdbooks]

Yes she has a concience

[VNerdbooks]

I'm such I kid, I actually chuckled when it said (view spoiler)[ There was a knock at her entrance **giggles** (hide spoiler)].
Too many New Adult books this month lol

that's because you are reading Harder and Deeper type books, LOL

[VNerdbooks]

Lol i know, and I have my mind in the gutter haha!

[Angie ~aka Reading Machine~]

I just finished chapter 15. I discovered that I was correct about King Randa~he's a bastard and a coward. Poor Katsa and Po.

[VNerdbooks]

I'm on about the same place as you Angie, and Yes the King is a complete pig!!

(view spoiler)[They have now left and going through the woods to the other kingdom........I spy romance ahead! (hide spoiler)]

[Ezi, Factory Superintendent]

I am at the part where Katsa screamed at Po in her head to see if his grace would work for internal communication. He almost fell off his horse and told her to just talk to him in a calm tone.

Katsa is so rough around the edges.

[VNerdbooks]

Lol she is so naive as well

[VNerdbooks]

erghh I am still not getting into this.
(view spoiler)[Katsa and Bitter Blue are trying to get passage on the ship and are being taken to see the graced captain (hide spoiler)]

[Ezi, Factory Superintendent]

Have y'all finished this? I am having a hard with Katsa, she is just 11 years old right?
Sometimes she acts 16 and sometimes she acts 8 and then she acts wise like an adult. It's all over the place.

Po and Katsa had sex, even though she's a kid. How old is the prince?

[Angie ~aka Reading Machine~]

I'm struggling to read this. Katsa does act like spoiled child sometimes even though she's 16. I don't think Po is much older than Katsa but I've not seen where his age is listed either.

[Ezi, Factory Superintendent]

We just met Bitter Blue.

[VNerdbooks]

I think I'm ahead of you then as bitter blue has been in it a while.
Is it just me or is this book really hard to get into??

I've had a hard time as well

I'm struggling too.

[Ezi, Factory Superintendent]

Chapter 29: Right now, Katsa and BB have hidden and left Po as they try to escape the King and his guards.

[VNerdbooks]

Chapter 37 (view spoiler)[ Oh dear poor Po, (hide spoiler)]

[VNerdbooks]

Just finished. .......mehhh!

[Ezi, Factory Superintendent]

Just finished. Talk about build up to nothing. Killing the King was about anticlimactic as watching paint dry. Wow. This book is like putting water to boil, the water getting warm but never boiling to hot.

[VNerdbooks]

Thank goodness it's not just me, it was dull, dull, dull.
It has such high reviews too.

Different strokes. I had high hopes and it took me forever to finish it

[VNerdbooks]

If we hadn't been doing a BR I would have DNF it

[Ezi, Factory Superintendent]

Vicci Audio Nerd wrote: "If we hadn't been doing a BR I would have DNF it"

You can always DNF. I can't DNF, but I've put it down twice listen to other books.

Next, I MUST read for September to be a reading success

[VNerdbooks]

Yeah I hoping they are good, I'm just starting which seems to have high reviews again, so fingers crossed lol

[VNerdbooks]

ooh and I've just had an email to tell me about your audible review!
