Requested by Della & Peggy.

[Peggy]

I just started the book, and read 2 chapters...
kinda feels like skullsworn(which I didn't like at all) but the writing is much better, and has interesting options (view spoiler)[I have always been obsessed with shadows :D (hide spoiler)]

[Anya]

I read it about a month ago, but I'll gladly chat with you as you go on :)) It actually took me a while (hundred pages or so) to get into the writing. It starts slow, but it'll pick up.

[Choko]

I was thinking about reading it too, but I am swamped! I hope I can make it in couple of days...

[Catelynne]

I can't wait to hear everyone's thoughts on it and I hope you can make time to read it Choko!

[Siobhan]

Aw man, why are there 3 buddy reads I'd love to do starting 15th! I can't possibly! 😂

I'll see how I get on with Robin Hobb! 🤞

[Paula]

The prose is what first pulled me back the first time I tried to read it, now I can appreciate it

[Peggy]

i just finished the 4th chapter and I know I'm doing a slow reading but I had some unexpected exams and got myself too busy with the on going buddy reads...

[Peggy]

I really like the writings, its so strange, I love cats, it really helps :)))
I really like to know how all these things happened to her and how everyone gets their power...
gonna try to read some chaoters today!

[Paula]

Don't worry, I'm also reading a couple of other things so I'm also in chapter 4

[Peggy]

uh I thought I was left behind again :D

[Peggy]

I just finished chapter 6!!!!
I like Mia's backstory more than her present story, I don't even know why but I read those parts with more interest...
I don't know what to feel about Tric, I really need to know him better and there isn't enough to read about him.

[Catelynne]

That's exactly how I felt with the flashbacks when I read it! The beginning is definitely very slow.

Yeah, I don't have a huge opinion of Tric but his character does grow and develop further as the story progresses.

good to know cuz every time I can't connect to a main character, I can't care enough for the book to finish it!!!
but I like the story and the foot notes, I really enjoy them, even though it's a pain in the a** cuz I'm reading the Ebook and its hard to find them and then find where I was left, but they have a good humor and interesting facts about both Mia and the world she is living in!!!!

[Anya]

That's one of my biggest complaints about the first book - we needed more flashbacks, in order to care more about Mia and her revenge.

With revenge stories, at least for me personally, I need to be really invested in a character's life in order to care. Here, Mia (or, the narrator) just tells us what happened and we're expected to care. I needed more information about her parents and brother, more about her life with them and how her life looked before it fell apart. Since I didn't get enough of that, I didn't really care about her revenge all that much. I was more interested in the world around her :))

It's interesting that you like the footnotes, I don't mind them and they're humorous at times but it's a huge complain from most people. I quite like the overall narration though, like the overall tone of it and everything.

[Peggy]

I finished the first part, chapter 9, and I love it so muuuuuch!!!!
I love all the shahiids they are sooooo cool!!!!
and yes yes cats have their own language of course :))))
I should make time to read this faster, I really want to know how the story is going to be now that she reached the red church...

[Catelynne]

Glad you're enjoying it! Everything definitely picks up and becomes more interesting when they reach the Red Church. The world-building is awesomely written, in my opinion :)
