Let us know your thoughts before, during, and after you read! Just be careful to hide your spoilers, or at least give a fair warning.🚨🚨🚨

Are you excited about this one??

Are you enjoying the story? Finding it well-paced or slow?

What do you think of the characters?

Are you confused about anything?

Enjoy guys! 😊

I put it on hold, so hopefully it comes in before the next time I go to the library!

I am glad other people’s libraries have it!

I gotta get thisss

Got it on hoopla

@Taz—are you doing the ebook or audiobook? My library only does audiobooks with Hoopla. When I read this last month, I did both kindle ebook and audiobook, and it was a great help with the names to have both.

Ebook

Eeek!! Sharon, you've got me hyped on yet another book. So far I've never been disappointed with books that you've hyped up to me 😍😍

I'm gonna buy the kindle. Not sure how soon I can start it tho because I have another botm to read plus finish the book I'm currently reading.

Oooo, that’s good to know, Bets!😍 This one has an epic feel and is really well-written!

I can’t start right away either—I have some other book commitments at the moment, but I will get to it before the end of the month.💜

I plan on it for sure!

I'm only 8% but wow!! Really enjoying it so far!!

That’s great, Angela! How ya doing with the names? That was my only issue in reading this book.🤭

Hearing them helps, but there's something else the guy calls the female lead that throws me off 😂

Requested ittt!

@Angela—oh! Are you doing the audiobook?? I forget the other name, right now, but when I get back into it, I will know what you are talking about.

@Ellie—yayyy! Did your library already have it, or did you do a purchase request?

I had to get it through interlibrary loan.

Gotcha.

I just started! Finished the very tragic prologue.😭

Yes Finias or something. Phineas? I am! Listening that is. And now that you asked I wonder sometimes how certain things are spelled 😂

@Ellie I'm glad you could get ahold of it!!

Its so sad!

Totally invested in these characters once again.🥰

Angela—are you referring to Finnian’s reference to her last name? She has two—tor Desmond (her father’s) and tor Nimid (her mother’s, since legally she can’t go by her father’s now). I can imagine that if you are only listening, it would get confusing.

Yes!! Ok I must have missed/zoned out the part where that is explained. Thank you!! And yes Finnian 😂

I miss things all the time when I am doing audiobooks.🤦🏽‍♀️

Learning I gotta take this one slowwww. So many names to remember 🤪

Yes! This one would have been easier with a glossary.🤭

How's everyone doing with OFaA? I finished my reread today, and I am anxious to get to Of Sea and Smoke as soon as some other reading committments are taken care of. I loved it!💜🐎💜🔥💜

I just got the book today!! Imma read fearless first, though. 🤭 I’d go crazy if not. lol

You've got time to get them both done so you get the extra BotM points for OFaA.

I might not be able to finish this month, but hopefully I can start May 1 and still get the credit for it before the week passes lol

Reading a lot rn

More than usual, Taz?😅

I can’t talk, I have a lot going right now too.🤭

Not sure when I'll start this, probably sunday or monday evening, since I'm super busy until then.

Can't wait tho!

Just started the book last night! I wasn’t sure I’d join in this month because I forgot to request it through our library…but I’ve now stolen my sister’s library copy since she’s in the middle of another book. 😆

Ha. There you go. Sorry, Ellie 🤭

I promised her that she could have it back as soon as she finishes her book. 😁

Ahh. You're a great older sister 🤭😍

Yeah she didn’t give me much of a choice, she just took it. 😝

😂😂

😂

Sounds like you’re allowed to take it back when you want to tho 🤭

😂😂

I've slowed in my progress, I started a new job this week, so haven't had as much time to read (or listen). But interested in seeing how these 3 character's stories will entiwne or effect one another!

Congrats on the new job!

Looking forward to starting this book!

I am always excited to see the sisterly banter between Ellie and Mary Emma.🤭 It’s so much fun.

Congratulations on the new job, Angela! Yes, the characters will eventually intersect, but maybe not as soon as you hope.

Yes!

How’s everyone doing with OFAA? It’ll be time to pick May’s book soon. It goes so fast!

I haven't had much time to dedicate to it but I'm hoping to read more today.

I'm four chapters in and to be honest I'm not enjoying it yet. I hope I do soon but it's almost too fast paced.

You might feel that way because of the 3 povs, but once you are into their individual stories, I think/hope you will settle in.💜

Yeah that's probably true.

I'm hoping I'll still get to read it this month, but I'm not sure yet because my hold did come in, but the last pick-up day is today, and I can't go to the library until either tomorrow or the day after, so depending on who's working they might go ahead and send it back, which would mean I couldn't read it this month... but I have a couple of librarians who have gotten used to my schedule and will usually keep my holds there another couple of days for me, so there's still a chance! 🙃
