Seven Realms series by Cinda Williams Chima - Reading from 'The Exiled Queen (Seven Realms #2)' from April 15th 2019

[Maddie]

#1 of Shattered Realms series?

Because if so, we need to create a different thread because it's a different series.

[Tylerkeating]

no sorry for the confusion I meant #1 as in the demon king

[Maddie]

Oh right yeah sure jump in :D

[Maddie]

I'll finally be reading this one soon! Next book or two!

[Dr. Andy]

Awesome! I have the first one just waiting to get at least the second before starting. Probably will try to finish the ToG series first.

[Maddie]

Oh right I forgot we were supposed to start those this month... Might try get a slower buddy that way I don't feel intimidated XD That's not the vibe I want from my reading lately. I also have way too many big books in the works XD Wise Man's Fear (999pg) Game of Thrones (820pg) Inkheart (550pg) oh and also possibly The Passage (a billion pg, or so it feels like because huge format tiny writing) so I'm really scared for that one.

[Dr. Andy]

I don't mind if you read it slowly. I just like having other people to talk to :) And if I was reading the physical it would take me a bit longer since I usually multitask with audiobooks.

[Maddie]

Wait you can do an Alaina???

I'm going to read Fireblood first before this, and who knows when I finish my other books holy shit XD (Nearly legit just spelt holy like wholy.... Wtf wrong with me)

[Dr. Andy]

Hahaha not quite an Alaina. I can't read two books at once. By multitask I mean like do something doesn't require as much concentration for me. So like working in the lab, walking around and doing stats homework sometimes. Or now that I have an xbox I'll play on that while listening.

[Maddie]

Ah so you don't mean read and listen at the same time XD

[Dr. Andy]

Oh no I don't think that's possible for me

[Dr. Andy]

Right now I'm really have trouble with the LOTR series because it's more of a radio show than a normal audiobook so I never know who's speaking and I'm just confused all the time :(((((((

[Maddie]

Oh man :/ Is it a full-cast?

[Dr. Andy]

Maddison wrote: "Oh man :/ Is it a full-cast?"

Yeah it was. :/

[Dr. Andy]

I'll probably start book 1 tomorrow. That's the only audio I have so after that it will be slower going through the other three books especially since I've only found book 2 lol

[Maddie]

That's so weird, not sure if I could follow it XD

[Maddie]

And alright :) Honestly no clue at all when I'll read these.

[Alaina]

Chapter 6: (view spoiler)[Oh man. I have no idea how I feel about this book right now. It just seems to be moving so slow. I'm also wondering when the two main characters will meet up? I feel bad for Han and his living situation. His mom is a bitch. I also feel bad for Raisa. Oh, and I don't really like Micah. (hide spoiler)]

[Dr. Andy]

Maddison wrote: "That's so weird, not sure if I could follow it XD"

I barely did lol.

[Alaina]

Chapter 12: (view spoiler)[Oh hey they finally met! YAY! Also, why is her mom so weird and her dad so awesome?!? I want more chapters with her and her dad asap! (hide spoiler)]

[Maddie]

It any good Alaina?

Tbh Regan got me wanting to read these :p PeruseProject <3

[Alaina]

It started off slow to me but it keeps getting pretty interesting.

[Alaina]

Chapter 18: (view spoiler)[Well shit, everyone thinks he's dead but he did that on purpose. I wonder what the hell Micah and his dad are up to. Also, her mom must be in on this or something. Or maybe she's being controlled by Micah's dad or something? Like the jewelry maybe? I don't know - but I need to know! (hide spoiler)]

[RainySun]

I might start this on the 15th... I'll finally be done with finals, so plenty of reading time 😊

[Alaina]

Woohoo. Good luck with finals!

Awesome!!

[Dr. Andy]

Ch. 4 (view spoiler)[ I really don't like Han's mother, she sounds like a jerk. Dancer is keeping some kind of secret and I want to know what it is!! I wonder if anything would happen to Han/Dancer if they touched the amulet- I have a feeling one of them is going to be magical. And idk if I like the Raisa/Micah relationship. (hide spoiler)]

Chapter 6: [spoilers removed]"

So glad you mentioned the characters names I didn't know how to spell hahaha

[Alaina]

Chapter 24: (view spoiler)[I knew something fishy was going on! The wizards are not so sneaky. I saw it coming a mile away. I'm so glad that Raisa got away. You go girl! OH and her dad is alive - I hate her mom so much. How could she be so weak and fall into the high wizards trap. UGH (hide spoiler)]
Finished: (view spoiler)[OMG are they heading to the same place?!? ARE THEY GOING TO GET TOGETHER?!?! Also, I'm totally shipping Raisa and Han and they only met like once. I wanted more from them but I guess I can accept the small amount of chapters that I got with them together. I can't wait for the next book! (hide spoiler)]

haha yeah I had to look it up so many times because I thought I was spelling them wrong!

[Maddie]

Yay 2 more days until 2.5 month of summer! :D Can't wait!

Wow you're so lucky! My last day of class is the 21st and I think I have to come back early to finish an experiment :(

YESSSS I love Raisa's dad!!!

[Dr. Andy]

In Ch. 17 (view spoiler)[ I really don't like Micah at all! UGH He's about to do something to Raisa I'm sure of it and I DO NOT APPROVE! Also, I don't really care for Aimon(?) and Raisa together. I think they should just be friends. I think Raisa had the right idea going out and finding what's up with her kingdom. That trip could've gone a bit smoother but oh well. I liked her and Hans teaming up. I want to see more of them working together. AND WHAT THE HELL ARE THOSE DEMON THINGS!?! WHY DID HIS CUFFS DO THAT WHAT !?!?! (hide spoiler)]

Me too!

[Dr. Andy]

Alaina wrote: "Chapter 18: [spoilers removed]"

(view spoiler)[ Yeah something was not right there. Micah and/or his dad are definitely up to something! And I don't trust Raisa's mom. (hide spoiler)]

[spoilers removed]"

(view spoiler)[Yeah, I didn't like any of them. They are all crazy. (hide spoiler)]

[Maddie]

Seems like there's lots of love towards this book XD Hoping to get to it soon!

[Maddie]

And yay I'm finished with uni for the year!

[Dr. Andy]

I just finished! It's a bit slow plot wise but I really liked the characters and what's happened so far.

[Alaina]

I didn’t get a chance to read the second book today. I was so sick. So I basically just listened to audio books or slept.

[Maddie]

Oh no what's wrong Alaina :(

Yes rest! And eat when you can if you're sick!

I agree 100% here!

[Alaina]

I think I ate something funny yesterday because I was throwing up all night. I didn’t get any sleep until 630 am today. I think I officially woke up at like 3?! Because I was in and out of sleep all day. I had to send emails and such but that’s about all I got done. Other than listening to audio books

[Dr. Andy]

Finished (view spoiler)[ I was so proud of Raisa for getting away from those jerk wizards and her crazy mother. And then I kind of guessed that Hans was "special". It made sense since he had the cuffs. Plus then they started to talk to him and since it wasn't Dancer I knew it had to be Hans. I'm glad he'll still be with his friend. And hopefully he'll see Raisa again since they're going to the same place!!! (hide spoiler)]

[Maddie]

@Alaina: Oh no that sounds completely terrible! I hate food poisoning! Good that you got some sleep though! I don't know how you even managed to focus on an audio!

[Dr. Andy]

I'll be getting to the second and third book this weekend since school ends for me on Thursday!! :D

[Maddie]

yay :D no clue when I will xD
