(view spoiler)[Yeah this book seems to be following a different cast apart from Ronan and his family so there shouldn't really be anything you are missing out on. That scene was so funny! (hide spoiler)]

Yeah it took me a little to sort out the new characters.

[Courtney]

Hoping to start this soon. I wasnt feeling to great last week, and fell behind.

[Aly]

Awh, I hope you're feeling better!

[Blue Butterfly]

Chapter 38
(view spoiler)[The story is getting more interesting. I'm excited to see where this goes. (hide spoiler)]

I wonder about Jordan and Declan, with her being a copy, wha..."

(view spoiler)[Yeah it would be nice if Ronan and Adam would be able to spend more time together. Declan is going to freak out when he figures out that Jordan is a copy. Who is the teenage girl? I'm kind of confused about her character. (hide spoiler)]

Um (view spoiler)[ I'm not sure what teenage girl lol. It's not one of the copies? (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[I'm pretty sure its not one of the copies but I might be wrong so don't take my word for it. (hide spoiler)]

[Aly]

I'll have to try to remember haha

[Blue Butterfly]

Chapter 58
(view spoiler)[Things are getting more intense. There is so much about the dreamer world that we just never knew before. I can't wait for Ronan to start to figure out that there are people hunting down dreamers as he is still pretty clueless. I really hope nothing bad happens to Mathew. (hide spoiler)]

[Blue Butterfly]

Aly wrote: "ch 60 [spoilers removed]"

(view spoiler)[Yeah I was really hoping that the OG gang would at least be mentioned more. (hide spoiler)]

[Aly]

Shreya wrote: "Chapter 58
[spoilers removed]"

Yes he is precious! The dreamer world is so cool

[Laura]

Chapter 32: (view spoiler)[ I am curious about Liliana and what part she plays to this story! This story is getting stranger and stranger, but I really like it. I had found Hennessy's and Jordan's POV a bit boring, but they are far more interesting now! I am wondering why the painting causes people to dream about the ocean. Is there more magic than just the dreaming in this world or is caused by the dreaming? This has been very enjoyable to far! (hide spoiler)]

[Laura]

Chapter 50 (view spoiler)[ I wonder if Lilith is the one to bring the end of the world? She causes chaos everywhere she goes. Love that it is the petulant Parsifal that is making Carmen Farooq-Lane break! (hide spoiler)]

[Laura]

Chapter 67 (view spoiler)[ Wait! So, there are copies (or rather a copy) of Niall, but the dreamer Niall is dead? I guess that means someone else dreamed him up. Maybe the mysterious Mor O Corra. (hide spoiler)]

[Laura]

Shreya wrote: "Chapter 58
[spoilers removed]"
(view spoiler)[ I can't wait for his reaction to the fact that they are being hunted. Bryde has kind of told Ronan about it though at multiple points.
(hide spoiler)]

[Laura]

Chapter 71 (view spoiler)[ This got incredibly exciting all of a sudden! (hide spoiler)]

[Blue Butterfly]

Laura wrote: "Chapter 67 [spoilers removed]"

(view spoiler)[I really thought their family had no more surprises but here we are. (hide spoiler)]

[Laura]

Finished (view spoiler)[ Loved this book! The characters were great, the magic awesome and the plot exciting. Can't wait for the next one to come out now! Need to know more about Bryde! Now I am just left wondering. And how long until the next book is released???!!! :D (hide spoiler)]

[Aly]

Laura, I'm glad you liked this! The next one doesn't come out until sometime next year and I'm dying!!

[Blue Butterfly]

Finished
(view spoiler)[I was sad that more of the characters from the first books weren't present. The book was still enjoyable and I am looking forward to seeing what happens in the next book. (hide spoiler)]

[Aly]

Shreya wrote: "Finished
[spoilers removed]"

I agree, I'm holding out hope we'll see them next book!

[Blue Butterfly]

Aly wrote: "finished Not gonna lie, I'm pretty disappointed that Adam was barely in this. I was so excited to see more of their relationship.

I do feel bad that Jordan is the only copy left and I hope they ..."

(view spoiler)[Yeah I wanted to see more of Adam and Ronan but they barely spent any time together and seem to living two separate lives.
I found it a little convenient that Jordan was the only copy left as she is the only one that nay of the characters had an attachment too. It is also easier to have one copy and say that there are twins than explain more identical copies.
Carmen lowkey annoys be because she is the one that got her brother and other dreamers killed without having to. (hide spoiler)]

[Aly]

Agreed!

[Laura]

Aly wrote: "Laura, I'm glad you liked this! The next one doesn't come out until sometime next year and I'm dying!!"
That is so painful! And it ended on such a cliffhanger! Cliffhangers are only okay if the other books are released!

[Blue Butterfly]

Ikr! I hate waiting for the next book when there is a cliffhanger!

[Laura]

Shreya wrote:

(view spoiler)[ I think it was a bit lame that no one died except for characters that no one cared about. But there are two more books to go and plenty of time to kill off more important characters! (hide spoiler)]

[Blue Butterfly]

Laura wrote: "Shreya wrote:

[spoilers removed]"

(view spoiler)[I hate when important characters are killed off but I also feel like its cheating if everyone lives. (hide spoiler)]

[Laura]

Shreya wrote: "Laura wrote: "Shreya wrote:

[spoilers removed]"
Agreed!

[Courtney]

I got caught up doing other things. I will start this tomorrow!

[Aly]

Yay, hope you like it!

[Courtney]

Finally able to start this.

[Aly]

Awesome

[Elizabeth]

gotta say i'm starting to like Declan way more than in Raven Cycle

[j2yde]

what chapter are you gonna read to today??

[Elizabeth]

just got home from work, starting reading rn
i think at least 5-6 chapters

[j2yde]

alright! i'll start reading after i'm done with classes

[Elizabeth]

chapter 17
(view spoiler)[ OKAY, WHAT DO U MEAN THEIR DEAD MOM??? i know it's probably just a painting but I'm still sh00k.
kinda wish the plot would progress a lil faster though
(hide spoiler)]

[Elizabeth]

chapter 19
(view spoiler)[ 'He was going to be alone, he thought, he was going to be alone and it was going to be just him and that new terrifying Ronan, and Matthew whose life depended on him, and somewhere out there was something that killed Lynches.'
'"My dauntless Declan," Aurora said, and then she slid softly to the floor.
The orphans Lynch.'
whoa, THAT broke me a lil bit. also i really like how this books shows us declan at his most vulnerable. (hide spoiler)]

[Elizabeth]

chapter 24
(view spoiler)['Ronan made a vow to never be as dull a person, as passionless a person, as dead a person as Declan Lynch.'
ouch.
i really hope maggie won't make him regret saying this by killing declan later in the series. i would cry my eyes out. (hide spoiler)]

[j2yde]

gonna start reading in a bit! finallllyyy

[j2yde]

Elizabeth wrote: "chapter 19..."

dude, right?! (view spoiler)[i'm starting to feel so bad for him:( i don't think i can hate him; it's just too impossible for me. (hide spoiler)]

[j2yde]

(view spoiler)[i can't be the only one who's getting these jordan's and hennessy's mixed up. (hide spoiler)]

[j2yde]

"

this!! the pacing feels a bit off. do we *really* have to know what they're doing each second?? c'mon now. i want to get to the good part already. it's starting to bore me

[j2yde]

okay, little action happened. story definitely has my interest. currently at chapter 25!

[Elizabeth]

chapter 31
(view spoiler)[ ngl farooq-lane's chapters feel like fillers to me. got a tiny bit interested in this visionary boy's backstory by the end of the chapter though.
.
i enjoy the book overall yet it'd be great if we didn't switch povs that often. tend to fly through ronan/declan chapters and then as it gets exciting everything slows down once again.
