YA Buddy Readers' Corner ♥ discussion

Welcome to the Gun Show!

The top ten list is populated. The sponsorship program is open. The difficulty is ramping up. The first three floors were nothing compared to what Carl and Donut now face.

The Iron Tangle. An impossibly-complicated subway system built out of the world's subterranean railway systems, all combined and then tied together into a knot. Up is down. Down is up. Close is far. The cars are filled with monsters, the railway stations are less than safe, and the exit is always just a few stops away.

But there is hope. For the first time, the crawlers are all working together. The loot is better than ever. And the secret to unraveling it all may be hidden in the pages of a seemingly-useless book. Welcome, crawlers. Welcome to the fourth floor of the dungeon.

Up to chapter 2

(view spoiler)[ hey now they're calling readers nerds! *is this freaking play about us*

I'm super excited to see what songs play for this power/trap, Fergalicious being the first song played was great.

and the babies on the substation remind me of the 'little babies' Linda has in Bob's Burgers. (hide spoiler)]

I'm going to start this evening.

23% (listening on Audible and i hate how they just say the time)

(view spoiler)[ And they said the name of the book!


Donut trying to force Mohawks on people. I get that Katia can shapeshift and that Donut is really hung up on making them have like a thing, but i feel bad that Katia doesn't know how to *be yourself*, are we going to get more of her background? (hide spoiler)]

I'm reading on Kindle, so no experience with Audible. I think I just wouldn't concentrate.
11% in and starting chapter 4.
(view spoiler)[The Iron Tangle is something different entirely. And I must say: it's an interesting concept. The main question is: how will they get to the stairwells? They're now in station 83 and need to go back. It does remind me of the subways where I live and those in London. The line on the map kept spiralling while I'll tried to make sense of it. Now, I understand why one of the last sentences in book 2 was: 'Mind the gap, please'. I already had the feeling that it would be something like this. I still don't trust Katia, though, she seems weak and insecure. It's sad that Brandon died. (hide spoiler)]

Chapter 22;
(view spoiler)[ YES DONUT STAND ON THAT BUSINESS. why did they ever think it would be a good idea to go after Katia?!

also FUCK YOU BEATRICE! wants to just throw Donut away for a new kitten. wonder if Donut knows this or overheard Beatrice say to at some point?

I already felt bad for the "NPCs" but know they're 'waking' up a bit and I want to see if Carl can get some to help him or even get insider info for them. (hide spoiler)]

Right before the epilogue.
(view spoiler)[ WOW see the NPCs are waking up and making their own choices!!! now the choice was to kill themselves but STILL making that choice themselves!!!

Seems that Donut does/did know about getting sent back for a new kitten, she made references to it, heavy ones. (hide spoiler)]

I've only been on one subway once, in Washington DC and i rode it from one stop to the next just to "experience" it as there are none near me in the Midwest. i gave up trying to map it out and just went with the flow.

I have the next book if you want to read it soon after this

I'm reading the series in another group and they are starting book 4 tomorrow, but I won't be finished until then. What about Sept. 15th?
