So, I should be busy working and stuff, but I read the intro/recap just now. It is soooo silly.
I am totally in the mood for silly fun right now, so I am glad we are starting this one.

"I love his widdle ears to death!"

And apologizing to Tears for Fears is a nice touch.

[Angie ☯]

I need that too, so I'm going to at least listen to the intro now!

[Angie ☯]

I've read the first 4 chapters. It's not been a good day for listening to a book while working. I kept laughing at Davi and not paying attention to work!

When they actually bleeped out one of her tirades, I thought.... hmm, I probably shouldn't recommend these books to just anyone! HA!

[Jenny]

Yeah, there were black boxes over the text in the book. I'm not sure what chapter I ended on, but I am about 80 pages in, I think. I left it at work like a moron.

Do you think we both love Dani because she is snark personified?

I was laughing out loud a few times, but I was reading alone, with no one to hear me giggle.

So, what do you think changed with the last time she died, other than she didn't start over at the pond? Do you think the world changed too, since things aren't how she remembered them over and over again?

Do you think the Founders came from Earth?

One thing I really need to do is make notes of some of the lines so I can use them in real life. If you ask me which ones right now, I can't answer, but I keep thinking I need to remember stuff!!!!!!

[Angie ☯]

LOL! I do think we love Davi because she is snark personified!!!

Oh my, our brains! I was going to ask you about what changed the last time she died too! I feel like something had to change in the world for her not to start over at the pond.

I am beginning to think the Founders did come from Earth.

[Jenny]

That is "our brain," not "our brains."
Apparently.

[Jenny]

I am about halfway through, and I meant to bring the book home with me to finish it tonight. Did I? Nope. Idiot.

But, if you have made it past the crabs, and have entered the hidden cave-thing, I want to talk.

[Angie ☯]

I finished it! Let's talk.

[Jenny]

Talk to me about the first half! What the hell is the founder's name Cy-something. Is he from Earth? Is that his laboratory? How did he live for so long? Did he create the time loop?

Are all of my questions answered in the last half of the book?
Did you lose it when the prince was feeling up Orc tusks?

[Angie ☯]

LOL - Yes, I did lose it when the prince was going all gaga over Tsav's tusks!! And, I giggled at the "arrows" in the cave that were pointing the way to the prince's bedroom!!

I can't tell you those things - you might learn most of them in the 2nd half.

[Angie ☯]

Do you mean Cyrus? In reference to your "what the hell is the founder's name Cy-something?"

[Jenny]

Yes, Cyrus. I assume it is his cave/lair/sci-fi advanced laboratory that is defended by a giant armored octopus.

[Angie ☯]

I don't want to say anything until you finish!

[Jenny]

I am at the dancing part of the first big get together between humans and wilders.
I now vey much want to see this filmed.

[Angie ☯]

Wouldn't that be great!!

[Jenny]

Ok. Done now!!!!
That was bloody fun. I had a feeling that Cyrus was that armored jackass, but I wasn't sure.
I had a Thanos moment when Cyrus was villain-splaining his plan, and I thought, yeah, humans suck, wipe us all out. Then the pacifist in me reared its ugly head and I realized that humans can be cool too.

This was almost as good as the first one.
