Week Three Reading (Chapters 21-30)

[Alicia (A Kernel of Nonsense)]

Post here to discuss chapters 21-30 of Nocturna!

Wow, I can't believe we're almost done with this readalong! How far has everyone gotten? I have a few questions for this weeks reading

For the most part, this book is FILLED with action packed scenes but we have seen a few light hearted scenes as well. What has been one of your favorite light hearted scenes?
Do you think you'd have been able to perform the ceremony for the nobleman?
Why do you think the dark magic drains Alfie when he uses his magic, yet seems to have no negative effect on Ignacio?
What was your reaction when it was revealed that Ignacio had a hand in the death of Finn's parents?

I finished chapter 30 yesterday and probably won't finish the book until after Christmas as I am trying to finish another book before this weekend.

My absolute favorite part was Luka's chapter when he is waiting for Alfie to show up and trying to be patient. That whole scene was hilarious. I also really liked seeing more banter between the characters as well. I would not have been able to remember all those words and would probably have made some kind of excuse and gotten caught >_<

Hmm, I haven't thought about why the dark magic affects Alfie like it does, but my best guess is that maybe he has too much light in him and so instead of thriving off the dark magic, it drains him.

I completely forgot that Ignacio somehow gets more evil when it's revealed he killed Finn's parents. This makes him even scarier in my eyes, the fact that he basically stalked her like she was a thing to possess. Makes me shudder.
