I don't think anyone else can get away with being the 'cutest sociopath ever'. XD

Taylor I object, your Honour, but Maven most certainly can not be imprisoned for murdering his father!
Judge: "And why is that?"
Me: because he's the most adorkable psycho ever! I mean look at that face!

Oh I'd love to be in that court case!


message 254: by Taylor (new) - rated it 4 stars

Taylor Yea, it would lighten up the mood a bit wouldn't it?
Oh, and I pre-ordered Glass Sword yesterday night. I am so excited!!


message 255: by [deleted user] (new)

It feels so good! Did you get it in Hardback?


message 256: by Taylor (new) - rated it 4 stars

Taylor No :( I only have like, 25 hardbacks, all the rest are paperback .
So it's in paperback, but oh well, I still have it !!


message 257: by [deleted user] (new)

You have it! I usally buy paoer backs but I got it in hardback because I had a bit extra money from my birthday. BUT WE HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL FEBRUARY.


message 258: by Taylor (new) - rated it 4 stars

Taylor I know, it's not fair!! Why are hardbacks so damn expensive?!


message 259: by [deleted user] (new)

Its like paying for it to be lined in golf!

Taylor I was in Eason today, and I saw a book I thought looked really good and it was harback, I looked at the price and it was 20 euro/pounds/dollars! Waaay too expensive, don't get me wrong I'll pay 20 euro for a book that I think looks good, but I was on a book budget (I had to get presents for my friends birthday) . It's ridiculous.


message 262: by [deleted user] (new)

I know! There's a book I want in Waterstonrs byt it costs so much!


message 263: by Taylor (new) - rated it 4 stars

Taylor Yea, it's silly, I only have a few hardbacks and I want more :( but I've ordered the Heir and The Wrath and the Dawn in hardback so I'll have a little bit more.
I love waterstones I've been over there before its lovely.


message 264: by [deleted user] (new)

I love the smell of it! They way they keep the books is so nice!


message 265: by Taylor (new) - rated it 4 stars

Taylor Yes, the covers are untarnished.


message 266: by [deleted user] (new)

I hate going into book shops and not having any money to buy them with...


message 267: by Taylor (new) - rated it 4 stars

Taylor Yea, same here. Today I was in the bookshop looking for Dorothy must Die (they didn't have, so I got Hush, hush) and I spent an hour in there just staring at the books I couldn't buy XD

Why would anyone not be in love with Cal?
Maven is so self-righteous and loves no one, not even his mother, if she ever crosses him. At least the evil Elara loves her nasty son.
There is a limit into loving a psychopath, no matter how cute one is. One who murdered his own father without any remorse loses the right to be called a cutie pie or be loved, unless by people who are beyond normal.

Bad boy yes, psychopath? No. Only Dexter is cute enough to be a psychopath and he did not even kill his foster dad and sister.

PS. Read the Queen Song and find more about Cal's mom.


message 269: by Taylor (new) - rated it 4 stars

Taylor Is Queen Song the novella? I must read it !
I love Maven (I swear I am not a psychopath... Promise ) but killing his father to get the crown ? That was out of hand. The understatement of the century.
And sending Cal and Mare out into the arena ? Baad decision, Mavey, bad decision.
Elara seems brainwashed and evil, her only goal is for her son to rule over the Silvers and kill every rebel in the Rising, and make a living hell for Reds.


message 270: by [deleted user] (new)

I really need to read Queen Song!
But yes, I think there is something about him mum


message 271: by Taylor (new) - rated it 4 stars

Taylor Maybe she had a bad past ?

Yep... it is a novella. Too short tho. I need to read more about Cal's mom, but at least we get the idea of how things happened.

I love bad boys but for me, being bad has its limit and killing your own father without remorse is beyond being bad. Bad boys love passionately but Maven seems to just love himself.
Elara is evil but she loves her son. It has been her goal from the start, to be the queen and her son a king.


Nurlely Bookworm wrote: "Maybe she had a bad past ?"

Unfortunately not. Just read the Queen Song...

BUYING IT ASAP

Taylor Yeah, I really have to get more insight into Elara's past. I'll look into ordering that and Cruel Crown !
Maven does seem a little bit into himself, a self - pitying child, but there is an attraction to him that I just can't put my finger on. Maybe it's because he's a "bad boy" and "lethal".


message 276: by [deleted user] (new)

I must admit I am fond of his psychopathic side. He seems like a good person to be best friends with if your, you know, not bothered woth the whole 'killing father through brother' thang...


message 277: by Taylor (new) - rated it 4 stars

Taylor Yea, don't know if people are going to want to hang out with a boy who killed his father and blackmailed his brother XD


message 278: by [deleted user] (new)

Exactly

Taylor Yup. Have you read Crescendo amd Silence yet ? :)


message 282: by [deleted user] (new)

I've read all four. Last ones brilliant!


message 283: by Taylor (new) - rated it 4 stars

Taylor I am so going to get the next three. They're amazing !


message 284: by [deleted user] (new)

It is really good! What ever you do, keep reading them! There is stuff that happens which makes you want to throw it or burn it but CARRY ON


message 285: by Taylor (new) - rated it 4 stars

Taylor I will don't worry


message 286: by [deleted user] (new)

Good! Theyre soooo good!


message 287: by Taylor (new) - rated it 4 stars

Taylor Ikr, I have a funny feeling that Elliot (maybe Jules too) are fallen angels and they're using Vee as a sacrifice ?!


message 288: by [deleted user] (new)

I don't want to spoil it for you! Where are you? What's happening?!


message 289: by Taylor (new) - rated it 4 stars

Taylor She's plunging into another one of those... Flashbacks? From touching Patch's scar.

Taylor it's mental,this book, but i love it.


message 293: by [deleted user] (new)

It's a love or hate but its wonderful!!


message 294: by Taylor (new) - rated it 4 stars

Taylor Haha. On pg 357 (that bathroom scene. That was HEATED). I feel really sad because I'm nearing the end of the book, but I'm reassured because I still have 3 more books to go through. Which one was your favourite ?


message 295: by Taylor (new) - rated it 4 stars

Taylor Out of the whole series.


message 296: by [deleted user] (new)

First and last! loved them both!


message 297: by Taylor (new) - rated it 4 stars

Taylor The first one is (mostly) always the best XD Patch in a way reminds me of Maven, like how he's so bad and dangerous and edgy. Only Patch is much more lethal than Maven. I still want to know how he killed Dabria though.


message 298: by [deleted user] (new)

Mwhahahaha! I do love Patch. Score pretty cute too (you'll meet him in Crescendo)


message 299: by Taylor (new) - rated it 4 stars

Taylor All these strange names ! Patch? Score ? Wtf?! He has to reveal his true name (if he ever had one).


message 300: by [deleted user] (new)

I don't know why but the name Patch is just so *insert purring here*
