Nicee


✧Bella✧  | 6773 comments "...no one sticks with reading Leviticus unless they're really serious," is such a great quote. You know, as far as funny quotes go.


Emily  Reed And it is very true lol


✧Bella✧  | 6773 comments I've now read 25 chapters and am torn between reading more and reading some of A Study in Drowning (the reason I didn't read more of Dare yesterday).

Exactly. I've read the book of Leviticus through from beginning to end exactly once. The first time I tried to read the whole Bible through, that was where I stopped. :)

Yess haha


✧Bella✧  | 6773 comments Tbh, it's one of my favorite quotes in the series.

✧Bella✧  | 6773 comments I have to wonder what I would have thought about the Leader the first time I read the series if I hadn't been spoiled. Speaking of which, does anyone who's reading it (or just read it) for the first time have any thoughts?

✧Bella✧  | 6773 comments 5 chapters to go. Not sure if I can finish it today, though, what with it being Easter and all.

Sameee
These are my fav quotes from Dare:

1. ‘Don’t discount your bravery… It takes more courage to help someone who doesn’t deserve it than someone who does.’

2. ‘God’s choice isn’t based on our actions. We’re all completely evil. God chooses us because He decided in his good pleasure to love us. That love isn’t dependent on our actions or our choices. God can choose, and has chosen, anybody, no matter their past actions.

3. ‘Justice belongs to God. It’s not up to me to wrest it from His hands.’


✧Bella✧  | 6773 comments Good quotes. :)
Although, I have to admit, I thought that the explanation Shad gave Leith about God choosing people could be a little confusing. Although I guess anyone who reads the series is probably already a Christian, anyway.


✧Bella✧  | 6773 comments One of my other favorite quotes:

"Since God is God, He is in control. Since He is good, everything He does is good, including His control. Since He loves His people, He controls everything that happens for their good. It's as simple and as hard as that."

Omg yesss
I was trying to find that quote and couldn’t find it anywhere!

But I was trying to explain it to my sis the other day


✧Bella✧  | 6773 comments It's so good, isn't it?

I've realized that, while Shad may not be my favorite character, he somehow managed to get both my favorite funny quote and my favorite serious quote in this book. So, congratulations, Shad. :)


✨ tazannah - not accepting friend requests ✨ (tazannahgresheld) | 7233 comments Mod
yeahh

lol kudoss
I think Leith is my fav character

✧Bella✧  | 6773 comments Mine too, at least in this book. In the whole series, it MIGHT still be Leith, but I think he's probably second. I guess I'll have to re-read the rest of the series to see. ;)


✨ tazannah - not accepting friend requests ✨ (tazannahgresheld) | 7233 comments Mod
Who’s first, Renna?

No, Martyn. :)


✨ tazannah - not accepting friend requests ✨ (tazannahgresheld) | 7233 comments Mod
Ooh, reallyyy?
Hmmm, I guess I’ll have to finish this series to form a proper opinion. The first book doesn’t really give us that much of an insight on Martyn, but I’m sure his character develops later on in the series


Emily  Reed My favorite characters were Leith and Brandi!

Niceee


✧Bella✧  | 6773 comments Martyn is the best. Tbh, I've loved him since the first time I read Dare. Not quite sure why. But yes his character does get a lot of development, otherwise, he wouldn't be my fave, even if I did already like him.


✧Bella✧  | 6773 comments Maybe we should have a Blades of Acktar discussion thread, since several people will probably want to continue the series. I know I do, and I've already read it lol.


✧Bella✧  | 6773 comments Emily wrote: "My favorite characters were Leith and Brandi!"

Yeah, Leith is my favorite in Dare, and I love Brandi too.
