Thanks!

[Maddie]

Starting now!

[Maddie]

This is a re-read for me because I need to remember the details and I'm glad I remember the basics

[Maddie]

40% (view spoiler)[This is just as I remembered it :D Actually less wordy but still just as complex topics that go over my head. I'm mainly reading this for the characters and relationships. I love the casual use of them discovering the time warp thing. And Callum being unbothered but Tristan being gobsmacked.
I like the way things are inferred rather than told, in terms of relationships. I also hate how Libby's relationship with Ezra is termed as boring just because it's stable :/ (hide spoiler)]

[Maddie]

49% (view spoiler)[It's still feeling like it's all going over my head. I'm reading these now to see if I want the bookish box special editions but for now I'm not. Very time space sciencey makes me feel stupid. I'm reading it for the plot twist I know is coming and because I'm not sure what happens in paradox. But for now I'll keep the ppbks (hide spoiler)]

[Maddie]

Also I'll be doing Paradox right after Six if you were interested :)

[Maddie]

I'm finished! This didn't have me as hooked as the first time, and the time space stuff still went over my head. It was pretentious for the sake of being pretentious. But it didn't get me as lost as the first time. It seemed to go by faster as well. I'm just as intrigued by the plot twist as the first read through, so I'm jumping into Paradox right away.

[Maddie]

I love how (view spoiler)[we have no idea what's going to happen in Paradox, but I need to know. I don't understand how people can stop after this one haha I'm so intrigued (hide spoiler)]

Probably can't do Paradox at least right now, I don't have it.

[Maddie]

@Janine: No worries! I'll be starting it today :) I hope you enjoy it when you get to it!

Part 1
(view spoiler)[ I love how varied the characters' personalities are. I immediately liked Reina because she sort of gives underdog vibes for me. Parisa annoys me, and I hope there's more to her than just being shallow. (hide spoiler)]

[Maddie]

yes the multi pov makes this story!

[Janine]

11%: (view spoiler)[I'm interested in each of these characters, though Reina seems the most interesting so far. (hide spoiler)]

Yes I love the characters! They're all terrible which makes them so real

[Janine]

Finished: (view spoiler)[This was fun to an extent. Interesting world building and setup, liked the characters somewhat, but things dragged and I didn't like the way the story was presented prose wise in some parts. The last few parts were really interesting. Not sure if I'll continue the series soon though. (hide spoiler)]
