Chapter one (view spoiler)[ That much punishment for boots? Thats crazy! (hide spoiler)]

[Courtney]

Chapter 3 (view spoiler)[ Bird is kind of annoying, but you can tell Hans has a crush on her. (hide spoiler)]

[Courtney]

Chapter 10 (view spoiler)[ Raisa is definitely one to get what she wants when she wants it. (hide spoiler)]

[HeatherH]

ch 5
(view spoiler)[ This is a reread for me but it's been close to 7 years and I remember next to nothing. Things are familiar once I hear them but barely lol. I really like Hans and his interactions with Dancer and with the old man and with Bird. His character is very intriguing to me. The princess is great because of how strong willed she is. I like that she takes no crap. (hide spoiler)]

[Courtney]

Chapter 19 (view spoiler)[ Thats insane that they all turned on Dancer even though he has lived their his whole life just because he is a wizard. (hide spoiler)]

[Courtney]

Chapter 23 (view spoiler)[ I have a feeling this is not going to be good for Rasia. (hide spoiler)]

[Courtney]

Chapter 25 (view spoiler)[ Holy crap! Poor Hans! (hide spoiler)]

[Courtney]

Chapter 26 (view spoiler)[ Hans is the only living descendant of Waterlow. (hide spoiler)]

[Courtney]

92% (view spoiler)[ Shit Bird found out Hans has magic. (hide spoiler)]

[HeatherH]

Courtney wrote: "Chapter 10 [spoilers removed]"

(view spoiler)[ Yeah she does! I like her and the guard and their dynamic. That whole childhood friend yet both have grown and changed and the hint of attraction <3

Just finished ch 11, if I remember right, I think her little sneaking out trip leads to her and Hans meeting up. I'm excited for them to be in the same space. I can't quite remember how things go between them. (hide spoiler)]

[Courtney]

Opps I forgot to update.
Finished This was definitely better then I thought. I will be down to read the next book, but it will have to be around the 6th. I will probably be alot slower with that one too.

I have it lined up so that works for me! I will have this one done by the 3rd-4th so 6th or after works well! I stupidly scheduled 4 Br's to start all on the first so I'm moving slow juggling them haha

[Courtney]

Haha I scheduled four for the first as well so I am doing the same thing. Should we just set the thread for the 6th or do you wanna wait until you finish to chose a date?

[HeatherH]

6th works great!

[Courtney]

Okay :) Here is the thread.

[HeatherH]

thanks!!

[Lily]

Hey, I just realized this thread was up and started and finished this book yesterday XD. Figured I would state my thoughts. (view spoiler)[ Like Raisa and Hans together. I think Hans being a combination of the two mindsets of the story is a good character idea. This book is thought out well and had good world building for a first book (hide spoiler)]

[HeatherH]

Courtney wrote: "Chapter 19 [spoilers removed]"

(view spoiler)[ Really breaks my heart for him and makes me love Hans that much more for having Dancer's back no matter. The hatred between 'races' or classes of people is so close to real life and just as horrible to read. (hide spoiler)]

Through ch 20 now, hoping to finish later today! I'll be awake for close to 30 ish hours today so we shall see how focused I can stay >.<

I agree with the classes feeling really tense. The situation reminds me of segregation in real life which may be what she was trying for. I wish they had some better relationships though.

[HeatherH]

Finished! So looking forward to seeing where this all goes. I can't wait to watch (view spoiler)[ Hans learn his magic alongside Dancer as he learns his, and to see Raisa on her journey to becoming an amazing queen! (hide spoiler)]

[Kelly]

I'm going to pick up this book soon, sometimes in the next few days probably! I'm finally going to re-read them and finish both series by Cinda Williams Chima. I remember loving the first three books but I remember next to nothing...

[Lily]

HeatherH wrote: "Finished! So looking forward to seeing where this all goes. I can't wait to watch [spoilers removed]"

I have loved Dancer as a character (view spoiler)[ and him as a magician is even better. I feel like her making every main character that wasn’t originally magical, a magician was a bit overdone though. (hide spoiler)]

This first book was a reread for me and I remembered next to nothing as well but really enjoyed it and look forward to finishing the series finally! I also want to re start the Heir series, I red the first three but when the newer ones came out I never picked them up.

I have loved Dancer as a character [spoilers removed]"

I can see your point with that!

If you want to read the Warrior Heir soon, we could start a thread.

Works for me! I just put the audio on hold, says ready within the next few days. We can set it for anytime and I can play catch up if you get started before me - I listen fast haha :)

[Lily]

What date would you like me request the thread for?

[HeatherH]

How's the tenth?

[Lily]

That’s fine. I will be starting another read that day as well so it will probably take me a couple of days to read but it is a reread for me as well.

[HeatherH]

It will likely take me a couple days or so as well. I tend to juggle 2-3 reads at a time lol.

I love Raisa and Hans together!

[Wolf (Alpha)]

25%: (view spoiler)[I love Hans so much in the beginning. I definitely agree about his cuffs being very important. I also believe that he has magic. I love how he doesn't let anyone mess with him. (hide spoiler)]

[HeatherH]

Wolf (Alpha) wrote: "25%: [spoilers removed]"

This book is so full of strong characters and I love it!

[Wolf (Alpha)]

50%: (view spoiler)[I love how Han took Raisa without knowing a thing. I absolutely love how Dancer is so loyal to Han and how they are such a great team together. (hide spoiler)]

[Wolf (Alpha)]

75%: (view spoiler)[I love Raisa and I love how she kept her ring and how she had it on when the Wizard tried to cast a spell on her. I love how she survives everything thrown at her so far. (hide spoiler)]

[Wolf (Alpha)]

Finished: (view spoiler)[I love how we find our that Han is kin to the demon king. I hope that he is able to control his powers. I hope that Raisa will be okay since she went off on an adventure. Overall this book was amazing!! (hide spoiler)]

Definitely. I don't particularly care for her.

Same! The ending just made her worse in my opinion.
