Alex O. | 42 comments Why are you guys only filling out fave or least fave? Lol.

Chapter 23/ Page 300 - Halfway update:

Favorite: Ezra
Least Favorite: Seraphena
Rating: TBA


Savanah | 81 comments @alex shouldn’t you wait until you’re done to lock in Dave / least fave? I wanted to wait on the ratings until book club day.

Also another question for our talk - top 2 favorite things that happened in the book and why


Alex O. | 42 comments @Savanah, that’s why I prefaced my comment with my page number and said half way update.

I’ll save my final opinions for book club.


Savanah | 81 comments Another question - fave chapter


Alex O. | 42 comments I haven’t been paying attention to chapters but I bet my fave chapters will correlate with the “favorite parts of the book” lol.


Joshua | 74 comments Mod
Fav - Holland
Least - Tavius
Rating - 6/10: The first 100 and last 100 page where you actually get plot is really enjoyable but between a bunch of sex scenes that get lead up to for multiple chapters and a complete setting change halfway through the book and drops the characters you meet for a whole new cast that feels like they have a lot of same characters.


Alicia Jones | 36 comments Final: 7.6


message 11: by Alex (new) - rated it 3 stars

Alex O. | 42 comments Fave - Bele - I feel like she was a bad ass woman and we love bad ass woman. Also I’m curious to see where her character arc goes in future novels.

Honorable mentions: Ezra, Aois

Least Fave - Taric - his character is under developed and the content he is given , makes him seem real creepy.

Honorable mentions - Tavius


Final Rating - 7.0 , while at times the book becomes a real page turner, including some interesting twists and turns along the way, a large portion of the book is spent on setting up the characters and world. The pacing is also disrupted by the change in setting and characters half way through. The book ties up nicely , and I’m intrigued to see where the characters and plot lines go from here.


Savanah | 81 comments Final rating 9.5
