Ok I just had a revelation tonight as I was rewatching some old favorite shows (because the world sucks right now and I need distractions). You know who Ana and Didrixe remind me of? These two. I'm mad I didn't see it before. :P The ice queen popular girl at school who's super ambitious and the one ...

That's my girl lol. Except also remember at the same time she is afraid of the dark.

Speaking of things that are building up though I wonder what you guys think about Corana's backstory, because apparently someone literally took her voice when she was born and that's a mystery that was just apparently never solved, so I wonder if one of the next books will be about finally solving ...

but fast forward a few years when she's got a better handle on stuff? I think she'd dominate. She's a genius but she's only 10. Give her a couple more years to figure out how her brain works and she'll have no competition imo. Even she knows this too! That's why I'm excited for SoaH, remember in bo...

Damn this book was fun. I almost have to dock a point for the very end because it got me so excited for the next book that it distracted me from this one lol. First thing though is I think you're right, there's something being built up toward. I kinda want to go back through the other two books to s...

I'm completely sure she's the strongest, no contest. Her biggest limitation is herself, either because she doesn't know everything she's capable of yet or she's holding back even without meaning to. Like with Alastor, for all her talk, I genuinely don't think she's capable of trying to really hurt s...

I love the new intimidating guy showing up and glaring at them and most of the group is like "yikes what a weirdo, should we do something?" and meanwhile Laurent and Ana are both like "I'm going to fight this man immediately." One of these days these two are going to fight together and it's going t...

SPEAKING OF though and going back to this... considering the time, do we know if bateras was like an inspiration for any of this? Obviously bateras wasn't in it but I don't know if anything I read in it that might seem familiar is on purpose or a coincidence. This is a good question and I would lov...

I got up to chapter 5 and met Evarea and Echonore. They're already my favorite characters in the whole book and if they end up being the villains I will fight Arty in real life. I'm gonna read more tonight. Also, Ana volunteering to fight Poseidon, then seeing Didrixe in a bathing suit for the first...

The only time I remember hearing how many there will be was in private so I'm not sure if I should say. But I think I should be able to say don't worry about it stopping here. Oh that's right and I bet you got an ARC again this time didn't you BECKY. :P Love to hear it though! Dude after you appare...

I finished. You were too fast lol. I'm sure I'll have more to say later but honestly you're right, this took me back. Book 2 was a lot of fun, Abigail was so much more intimidating and scary than she used to be, and also I feel like I know where the name came from. Book 3, dude... there's a lot to s...

The first time I read the series I remember thinking that it's a love letter to friendship and the power it has to pull us through dark times, and I get that even more with the new version. I think this is definitely true. Knowing what I/we know i think I'm biased lol but I see Kwin's whole arc bei...

I finished tonight, once I hit a certain point I couldn't stop lol. All your points are good, #2 caught me off guard but it also is the perfect change. And yeah so 3 and 4... the conversation with Kawakami is great. Because they're both right and both wrong in this. On one hand you have this girl wh...

This isn't MAF related but I didn't know where else to put this, someone on YouTube did a review of GW recently! I'm curious what y'all think of it, it's 25 minutes long and pretty positive so I thought you guys might like it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZWqMb8dhRL8 I love this, I think she put...

I love the new Kwin so much. She did get a bit of a glowup. Her fight with Alastor was better than before. But speaking of, this reminded me that we never got to see the finals in the first book. I'm not crazy right? The whole fight with Oriphone is new? I don't remember it at all and it's really go...
