Yeah I can start today!! And 3 a day sounds perfect!!
Ok!! And I’m so happy they seem fast paced😆 that’s the best!!
You can read ahead!! And yeah I’m kind of invested as well!! And I really like it, the pace is perfect and I’m excited to see what happens next!! I also really like Alessandra!! What are your thoughts??
Yesss I love her she is like so confident!!
Ikr😭 I wish I was like her and just always believed in myself🥲
Heyyy I just finished them too!! What did you think of them??
Also sorry what should’ve been obvious did I miss something??
OHHHH OK sorry!!😂and yeah I’m not surprised😭. I’m hoping she changes his mind!! I agree I think Hestia is kind of jealous and going to get in the way of Alessandra’s plan. Rhoda (i think that’s her name) seemed sweet and I think she’ll be fine!! Also what do you think the king looks like I can’t picture him for some reason!!
Ikr!!! The not beautiful enough made me so angry!!! Like that’s so blunt and mean😭

I’ve never met someone who imagines people the same way!!
And thanks for the excerpt that really helps!! I also see a young king and I think emerald eyes really fits his personality. (Well what we know of his personality so far)
OMG YESSSSSS!! And I have! (I’ve only read the first book though) but I see the resemblance!!
Yeah! And I liked it! I’m just waiting to buy the second book to continue the series!! Did you like it?? And yeah I feel like they give off similar vibes. Sort of mysterious and interesting.
I agree!! I’m excited because I’ve heard Warner gets better throughout the series eek!!😆 have you read the whole series?!!
Ok now I’m even more excited to finish shatter me🙈 and really??!! That’s super exciting! And I’ve been wanting to read inheritance games for a while so I guess I should now!! Have you read the cruel prince series??!!
Yesss inheritance games would be such a fun buddy read!! And I looooove the cruel prince it’s so good!! I haven’t read Caraval but I’ve heard great things. And I haven’t read six of crows, I do own it though I’m just waiting to get the shadow and bone series first. Does it still make sense if you read it before the shadow and bone trilogy??
Oooo ok thank you!! I’ve been so confused about this!! And I’ll have to add caraval to my tbr now🤩
Heyyy! Have you read the new chapters?? If so what’d you think??!!
Yeah I don’t think Myron is entirely innocent involving the death of his father.And yeah Kallias is kind of making me frustrated, like let her breathe!! AND OMG YESSSS I WANT HER DRESSES!!
loool yeah meanwhile Alessandra is just plotting his murder😭
Also hestia keeps getting more and more suspicious
And yesss annotating this book would be so cool!! I feel like it would be a great book for it!!
Well Myron is really bugging me. Like he is so controlling and annoying. And the double standard between him and Alessandra in terms of their relationship makes me soooo mad ughhh!! He’s also getting in the way of Alessandra’s plans which is soooo frustrating. Also I’d like to hear more about Alessandra’s sister. There has to be more reasoning behind why Alessandra hates her so much, other than her being older than Alessandra.Also:
I don’t annotate that much, I occasionally tab books but I don’t write in them unless it’s for school. It takes so long sometimes😭, I do kind of want to reread shatter me and annotate with words and not just tabs!!
Omg I’ve heard of those transparent sticky notes!!! It’s such a genius idea!! I’ll have to give it a try :DOooo a sequel🙊 this is so exciting!!!!!
And yeah I mostly read e books too!! I love them🤩
Ahhh that makes sense that it isn’t a sequel!!And yeah I love physical books too!! E books are so nice and convenient! They’re also cheaper so that’s the main reason they’re my usual type of book :D
I use z library too!!! :D i prob should’ve clarified it bc it sounded like I was paying money for it😅
Oooo maybe!! Honestly he’s kind of annoying me but he does sound cute👀
Well he isn’t annoying I just don’t want him to get in the way of alessandra’s plan!!
Wait I forgot about that, maybe he could help Alessandra!! Like she could get them to rebuild their friendship and that could help her get closer to the king!!
Yesss she def reminds me of Jude!! They are both super strong and won’t bow down to anyone!! I love them!!And I think she might kill him, it would be hard to get him to be quite. Buuuuut if she kills him then it would be very likely she’d get caught.
And same!! All the buddy reads I’ve ever had scheduled just didn’t go through😭 I’m so excited about this!!
And noooo you aren’t annoying I’m so happy I have someone to talk to about books!! :D
Yesss I love that nickname!!😆 do you have any nicknames?? And I’m not quite done yet I only have one chapter left!! :D
Ok I’ll call you Naji if that’s ok🤩And what did you think of the book!!??
Here are some things I noted:
- Vasco is sooo annoying, like he was so rude to Alessandra when questioning her about the king!!
- I’m annoyed with Kallias after he totally dismissed Alessandra’s concerns about them not being seen together!!
- I’m kind of happy that Alessandra accepted Leandros’ invitation, he seems really sweet.
- And I’m soooo happy Alessandra found a way to get rid of Myron🥳 and it’s a double win because she found a way to get rid of Reuben (or whatever his name was) girlfriend!!
Yesss Alessandra is a such an amazing character! The way she just put Myron in his place was amazing!!And the dad made me sooooo angry. I wanted to scream at him😭 it was so rude of him to act like his daughter is his possession to trade around!!
And yesss the whole system around marriages where they live is so unfair to the women :(
And yeah I’m wondering if maybe her sister was treated better than her as a child. But that would fall into why Alessandra hates her (from what we know so far) I’m very intrigued by their relationship.
And the sister made me sooooo frustrated when she exposed Alessandra to the investigators!!
Hmmm I’m kind of nervous about her getting caught. I’m really hoping she doesn’t!! And yeah I wonder, maybe like it makes the shadows not trust him and then they don’t protect him anymore??
Oooo yeah I could get the mood thing. And yeah I feel like whenever he refers to the shadows it feels like he is talking about another person or being.But them being like a power makes sense, I’m excited to read more about them! :D
Hiii I’m good! Hbu?? And I just finished them!!
What did you think of the chapters??!!
Ikkk Leandros is such a sweetheart!! And yeah I really feel like their friendship is getting stronger and it makes me so happy for them!! And yesss I’m so happy Kallias didn’t care about who Alessandra has been with!!And it’s so cool that he can turn the shadows on and off!!
It’s kind of scary though that if he touched Alessandra without the shadows he could get killed around her!!
Yep! I’m excited to see if they just stay friends or not!! I feel like they will bc it would be bad for Alessandra and Kallias’ relationship even though he wants to remain friends. I have a feeling that they will actually fall in love. At least I hope so😆
Hiii!!I’ve been/am still super busy today and I don’t think I will be able to get to the chapters today until really late. Would it be ok if we chatted about 6 chapters tomorrow??
Ahhh I just finished!! What are your thoughts??!!
