Sure; welcome! We start June 19th.

Have you been able to start yet?

I haven't but *fingers crossed* I hope to at least start it. But first I need to have a nap 😅

You?

I started it and read the first 6 chapters. I could've read the rest of today's chapters but I want to read a bit Legendborn and finish a movie I started, and I won't have time to do it all.

It's super easy to read, which makes sense because by the writing it can be seen that it's meant for a younger audience. So far I don't have anything else to say, I'm intrigued about the Lorien powers.

I haven’t started yet either, but I’ll be sure to catch up tomorrow!

Ohh for what age is it meant?

Also, don’t worry about not having read until today’s chapters; we’ve got time.

It feels like something for teens. I feel like this is something I would've read and liked when I had 14, 15.

Ohh okay

I mean that's what it reminds me of, and also there's the fact that I'm older so *shrugs*

Haha yeah I get that. It doesn’t really remind me of that because I’m 17 so it kind of feels like normal writing to me haha

😂 I'm 27 so I also had more time to read more books (at least in theory, because I don't know how much you've read) and to make like.. levels (?) of how the writing is chill or more serious.

I’m fairly sure you’ve read more. Like that, I get that! I think you have more insight on that haha

It is super easy to read. Yes agree it seems to be for younger age, but interesting premise for the story.

Hey, have you started it?

I just finished chapter 9, maybe I'll read more later or maybe I'll try to make some progress on Legendborn.

I'm curious about Bernie Kosar, like there has to be a specific reason for his appearance.

Edit: I find it interesting that the author put himself as one of the Elders :D

Bernie Kosar is my favorite character!!!

Finished early going out of town. Easy, fun, read.

I have moved from chapter 9, however I don't know how much 😅 I started listening to it before my nap.. and obviously I fell asleep, and after that I decided to make my nap go into sleep.

So I picked the book up.. somehow, and I'm trying to finish it. I mean the idea is interesting but I'm not really interested in the story. Just the way it was written for a younger audience doesn't do anything for me.

15 year olds saying that they love each other.. yeah, I'm just.. not believing it.. (I may or may not be bitchy about this, but whenever I see like super young people saying they are in love, like really in love.. I just can't)


I finished the book. Didn't care for it, just wanted to be over with it. I wasn't the targeted audience.

Understandable that you didn’t like it, I’m glad you tried to read it though! I’ve finished too and liked it. It makes sense that I liked it and you didn’t I suppose.

I'm glad you liked it! :D What are your thoughts? (Since we didn't really discuss it)

I’m busy at the moment, but I’ll be sure to post my thoughts tomorrow!
