2025 Reading Challenge discussion

This thread is to discuss To Kill a Kingdom by Alexandra Christo.

Pages: 344 pages

Length: 1 Month (February)

Participants: Ilse, Rachael.

Everyone reads at their own pace during a Buddy Read. Because participants can be at different parts of the book at different times, it is extremely important to mark spoilers so that the book is not ruined for someone who is not as far along as others!!!

Mark spoilers by placing {spoiler} before the text and {/spoiler} after the text but use the < and > instead of the { and }.


Happy Buddy Reading!

I’m very excited to read this book, I’ve read good reviews about it!

I'm about to start this!

Nice! I think I'm going to start this Sunday, I want to finish reading Angels & Demons first haha.
Do tell me what you think of it though!

I've read about 30% so far
(view spoiler)[It's good but I think I already know how this is going to end. I also want to know why the Sea Queen is so horrible, there seems to be no motivation for her actions (hide spoiler)]

Well, I'm finished. (view spoiler)[ I'm a bit underwhelmed. The ending was very predictable. It was an ok read (hide spoiler)]

Did it end the way you thought it would?

I'm around 60% and it seems the Sea Queen is being this horrible out of spite for something that happened long ago (I'm not sure about this). So far, a good and entertaining book!

Yes, I thought it was obvious how it was going to end and that's what happened
