[Leslie]

I would like to join! :D

[Laura ☾]

The more the merrier!

[Cassandra]

i would like to join with you too! this would be my first buddy read!

[HeatherH]

Yay! I love having a big group to buddy read with!

[Laura ☾]

Starting this today!

[HeatherH]

I'll be starting this evening at work likely! Going to try to earlier but the kids are out on snow days so who knows if I'll get any quiet to read lol.

[Leslie]

I am just like you, I will start later.

[Laura ☾]

Up to Chapter 10 now. While I am enjoying it somewhat, so far I'm just not enjoying this one as much as Holly Black's other books that I've read. It somehow doesn't feel all that developed to me. The characters just don't seem as developed to me - they seem more superficial and like tropes

How are you guys doing?

[Leslie]

I totally agree, the characters are very flat. That causes me to not move forward as fast as I expected.

[Laura ☾]

So I finished it... I'm ambivalent to be honest. It wasn't great, it wasn't terrible, it just didn't captivate me too much. I feel like I'll forget what happened pretty soon

@Heather how did you get on with this one? We usually have somewhat similar tastes..

I may still read the sequel just to see if it gets any better (I don't know why I do these things haha)

[HeatherH]

So I forgot to take this with me to work Monday night and didn't get to start it. Then was awake for about 40 hours straight and was too damn tired yesterday to read a page. *facepalm*

Most of my day today is booked with deep cleaning a 7 year olds room :( But hoping to read some of it tonight and then I'll touch base! I bought the 3 book bind up so even if it's not great, I'm sure I'll push through lol

[Laura ☾]

Hahah we can buddy read the rest - I didn't love it but I didn't hate it either so let's see where it goes

[HeatherH]

I keep picking this up but have yet to get past the first chapter.. just not into it at all. Maybe too much faerie lately? I dunno..
