Fantasy Reads discussion

cool thanks for making this!

ok that's fine:p

can i join?

:)

welcome to our buddy read @Blade! :p

hmm I like lada's fierceness lol. wbu?

yes! I wanna read more lol

(than those first 3 chapters i mean)

I'm still on chapter 3. I'm gonna start in a few mins. i was watching a movie:p

Will do!

I finished chapter 6

hehe that was hilarious. but yes very cringey

let's do it! chapter 12:p
yes i feel so bad for radu but it was so cool seeing radu's and lada's relationship develop and change through just those chapters. idk

huh. strange how men can't have facial hair unless they own land:/

goodnight!

I just woke up so I'm still on like 8. I'll let you know when i finish 12. I got sucked into my other book last night lol

Oh goodness. I keep staying up way too late so I don't ever want to get up in the morning lol

there's no one stopping me from sleeping till noon at my aunt's house!! she goes to work early and my grandma sleeps a lot anyways so i can sleep as long as i want. buy usually i wake up around 8

Well I'm gonna start reading rn, I'll tell you when I finish 12

what do you think of the janissaries?

yeah that sounds likely. I love the guys in the stable. they were nice. but i think some of them can be really mean. and I felt so bad when lada's friend got sent away to be one!

Oh that's good. but what about the love interest in this book? she's gonna have to choose!

hehe have you read more? if so let me catch up and then we can both read at the same time (if that works for you)

ok I'll read fast.

Holy cow. her mom was married at THIRTEEN!! gross

yeah true

I'm on chapter 12.

oh poor lada. that was probably her first period right?

bye see ya! I'll definitely be caught up by the time you get back:p

yeah I agree. and then she beats up the person. I agree with you about not really liking either of them

hah yeah same.

and yes I did

let's do till 20

have you read 20 yet?

Ok no problem. I wanna read my other book for a while anyways. Tell me when you finish 20

Wait you WANT spoilers?

really? well, then mehmed becomes the sultan when his brothers die (probably murdered) and his father abdicated the throne to him

and then lada purposefully starts a war

i think that basically lada is telling hunyadi to come take over in war because mehmed is supposedly a terrible sultan and the throne isn't very stable so she's telling hunyadi to go to war cause they're vulnerable with mehmed on the throne. she did that to try to get mehmed's father back on the throne to rule and lead the troops so mehmed wouldn't have to rule. that's my understanding of what happened

hmm now I'm not sure. i actually think that was the Ottoman empire... oh goodness. I'm so bad at understanding political stuff in books lol

haha yeah. im not reading rn, I'm watching a video of an exploding piano. but I'll read soon

awww!!

This is the exploding piano. You should watch it. It's super cool:) I love Chopin, and Josh Wright is one of my favorite pianists lol

Huh. I like mehmed ok. I can see why you don't like lada, I still can't decide on her. I do like radu tho

wait REALLY??? Oh goodness. Well let me read that far and then check back with you

Ok now I'm 8 chapters behind again. Let me catch up!! How about read till 3 and I'll check back with you in the morning. Does that sound good?

Ok that was so weird. I couldn't find this topic for some reason lol.

KT, I finished chapter 30 last night, and let's just say...I am now thoroughly disturbed and slightly weirded out to say the least.

What chapter is that? I can't remember lol

Yeah...me neither. also, LADA KILLED A GUY WITH HER BARE HANDS!!! when she was thirteen. Now that was creepy. and I mean, I get that it was self defense but still!

Yep. I think I like Radu now. but he's extremely jealous of Mehmed and Lada

sigh. i don't know how i feel about this book anymore. i can't believe my sister rated it 5 stars!

sounds good

oh. my. lands. mehmed's child is halima's?!?!
