Trisha | 30284 comments Maddison and me!

Join us if you can!


Maddie (maddisonbruce) | 12196 comments Thanks :)


Maddie (maddisonbruce) | 12196 comments I'm actually pretty keen to read this one! I like his mercilesness, and the guy from Falling Kingdoms, Magnus, really reminds me of Jorg :p I'm excited to see what happens, not that I can remember the first one.


Maddie (maddisonbruce) | 12196 comments Picked this one up from the library today. It's really small :/ The font's tiny. Hopefully it doesn't ruin me wanting to read the book, but chances are it will. Hate small font.

Trisha | 30284 comments argh. I'm so sorry, small font sounds no fun
my copy is normal/typical font

can you maybe try to get a different copy from the library??


Maddie (maddisonbruce) | 12196 comments I'm not sure :/ I guess when I get into it it shouldn't matter. But it's rather disheartening.

Trisha | 30284 comments Yikes. I really hope you can get a different copy! :/
keep me posted!


Maddie (maddisonbruce) | 12196 comments I can get an ebook copy from the library so that's what I'm going to do. So glad I can do that.

OH MAN! that one is so good!!


Maddie (maddisonbruce) | 12196 comments Assuming you've finished this, yeah? I'm probably pushing this one forwards because of a team challenge that this'll count towards.


Maddie (maddisonbruce) | 12196 comments I'm reading this now.


message 16: by Trisha, lives on coffee (new) - rated it 4 stars

Trisha | 30284 comments Yes, I read this one! Loved it! Can't WAIT to see what you think!
good luck on your team challenges :)


Maddie (maddisonbruce) | 12196 comments Thanks :) And I'm kinda confused by the characters and who they are because I can't completely remember the first book but it's coming back to me slightly. I'm 11% through, on Chapter 6.


Maddie (maddisonbruce) | 12196 comments I'm about 33% through and liking it :D Liked the first better though. This one's kind of confusing with the swapping and changing, although it makes more sense with the 4 years ago part.

Trisha | 30284 comments I know...I hated that part too :c


Maddie (maddisonbruce) | 12196 comments I'm about 35% through, but had to pause it for a while. Probably a week maybe.


message 21: by Trisha, lives on coffee (new) - rated it 4 stars

Trisha | 30284 comments :) no worries...


Maddie (maddisonbruce) | 12196 comments 39% through. The reason why I'm not really liking this book is because it's so confusing. Like, I'm seriously not following it whatsoever. I'm just reading it to say I've read it, not even understanding a single thing.


Maddie (maddisonbruce) | 12196 comments I'm 50% and it's making more sense now because I'm focussing on it, so it's good. I'm going to finish it this week, hopefully.


Maddie (maddisonbruce) | 12196 comments Or within one week.


Maddie (maddisonbruce) | 12196 comments Or maybe not. I got to read another book for my team challenge. Who knows when I'll get to the end. I'm on Chapter 30, which is 53%. I like how some chapters are shorter than the few really long ones.


Maddie (maddisonbruce) | 12196 comments Hmm. I'm at 67% and it's just said that the Builders had a sign that says 'No Parking Overnight'. I always thought it was set in the past, but maybe it's in the future? Strange.


Maddie (maddisonbruce) | 12196 comments Finished :D Woohooooo. Taking this thread off my favourites now. Slowly getting through my buddy reads :D

There have been a lot of interesting things that have made it seem like this is in the future but a future where the world was torn apart and is now back to the beginning.......

I haven't been able to place a time on it yet...


Maddie (maddisonbruce) | 12196 comments Yeah that's what I thought.
