*Spoiler*

I am a little upset with how they got "rid" of Simon though. I really liked his character, I mean I LOVE Kartik, but Simon is cool too. He sort of gets dismissed.


message 19: by Emma (new)

Emma  Blue (litlover) Uh, Sharayah. *Spoiler spoiler


SPOILER FOR RA!


Simon practically RAPES Gemma.


message 20: by Sharayah (new)

Sharayah | 359 comments Mod
I KNOW! Ya realized that after I posted. Should I remove or should we allow spoilers. I think it's ok. I will specify that it has spoilers.


message 21: by Emma (new)

Emma  Blue (litlover) Okay, sounds good! Yes, Simon is a total jerk!


message 22: by Sharayah (new)

Sharayah | 359 comments Mod
That is true I had forgotten bout that little detail haha. Stupid of me I know... I am ashamed. But Kartik does sort of have an atitude problem... I love him anyways but I think he over reacts.


message 23: by Emma (new)

Emma  Blue (litlover) Yes, but I think in RA his race was an excuse to leave.


message 24: by Sharayah (new)

Sharayah | 359 comments Mod
Ya, I was still upset the moment was ruined... lol


message 25: by Emma (new)

Emma  Blue (litlover) Yes! Tell me about it! lol.

*Major Spoiler*



Gah I wish more happened romantically between them. I was dying at the end! A kiss here and there idk something annother adventure into the woods where he would have to pretend she was his again. haha ANYTHING lol


message 27: by Emma (new)

Emma  Blue (litlover) Yes, but, come one, we got some AMAZING quotes from him:

"You can glimpse it in another."

"To each his own magic."

Sigh.


message 28: by Sharayah (new)

Sharayah | 359 comments Mod
Soooo true *says while sighing* He does have a way with words haha :)


message 29: by Emma (new)

Emma  Blue (litlover) Haha


FionaBluesBookCafe RA spoilers


I just read finished AGTB and RA. I was shocked by what Simon did at the Christmas Party. That was very ungentlemanly. I can't believe how he thought that woiuld be okay and how Gemma still wanted to be with him after. Kartik all the way. The Rakshana and the order were lovers after-all. Which makes me wonder about Amar and Virginia.

I can't wait to read A Sweet Far Thing. I hope Kartik and Gemma end up together and happy.

Sharayah | 359 comments Mod
I know! They portray Simon so "gentleman like" and then go and ruin him...


message 32: by Emily (new)

Emily Farrar (ameraq) | 56 comments Kartik was cool, and she made the right choice, choicing love over money, and choicing a guy who knows her secrets over a guy who would flee if he knew.
I met Libba Bray, if anyone cares. She's really REALLY cool!


message 33: by Kelly (new)

Kelly Driscoll (brightheadedwarrior) | 16 comments ****Possibel spoilers!!!****

I think if Simon hadn't tried to rape Gemma then he would have been better for her than Kartik, even though he was who she really loved, but I couldn't stand that guy!! He was being too polite, even for a guy in the Victorian period. Kartik is tall, dark, and handsome. Not to mention mysterious. There's something about him that just pulls you in. It would have been funny to see how they (Kartik & Gemma) would have acted in a relationship. haha.

Did anyone else cry at the end of TSFT????? I couldn't beleive Libba Bray would do that to Kartik after everything he's been through!!!!

And Emily, congrats on meeting her! I'm so jelous!


FionaBluesBookCafe i didn't read tsft because I can still believe that Kartik and Gemma end up together. If I read it it is all over.


message 35: by Emily (new)

Emily Farrar (ameraq) | 56 comments Libba Bray was REALLY cool! Everyone here would really like her, she's so inspiring!


message 36: by Diana (new)

Diana  (higura_natume) | 12 comments Simon was stupid. Why take the easy way out with a guy as fake as him when there's a harder trip for true love?

of course, when i first started reading, i wasn't digging the idea of a hot indian guy, because i couldn't picture one at all... but i fell in love with kartik during the series


message 37: by Sharayah (new)

Sharayah | 359 comments Mod
Like I said when I first read them I didn't really picture Kartik Indian I mean I didn't picture him white exactly. But not Indian ha ha so I created a really cute guy that was really tan I guess :p


message 38: by Diana (new)

Diana  (higura_natume) | 12 comments yeah i live in an area in california where it's asian central

so ive met a lot of indian people and not one of them, was really "hot" in my opinion

they were nice (not to mention smart) but not THAT good looking
