The Diviners by Libba Bray discussion

For general discussion about Jericho Jones.

ahh my baby <333

i really like Jericho!! I think hes incredibly interesting but also very mysterious? We got some Sam POVS and we sort of know what Sams deal is and what his motives are for the series, but I feel like we still hardly know anything about Jericho!

As for the whole Evie/Jericho thing, I kind of liked it. I wasn't opposed to Sam/Evie either necessarily but I really like Jericho and I think hes a good match for her. I'm a little worried about them getting together so early in the series though, it makes me wonder what Libba Bray has up her sleeve for them like killing him off or them breaking up or something.

Anyway I just joined this site, im not sure how these discussions usually go but yeah :P I really liked this character!

I love Jericho, too! I mean, I don't think he deserves all the dislike he's getting so far. They say he's boring or not as charming as Sam is and I disagree entirely.

As for me, I'm a bit in the middle because I love Sam and Evie's dynamic. They're both so funny together. But Jericho and Evie have this opposites-attract thing going on. He's quiet and unassuming and Evie's boisterous and charismatic and I dig that in my ships, you know??

And you never know with Libba...she has a track record for killing half of my ships in her books. SIGH.

I'm glad you joined the site though to discuss! That's freakin' awesome. I've seen your art floating around in Tumblr and you're amazingly, amazingly talented! ~

I agree completely! Jericho is cool, and the complete opposite of boring! I think hes one of the most interesting characters along with Theta. And what you said about Evie and Jericho being opposites is spot on, I think thats whats sweet about the two of them :33

Also it seems like Jericho's love for Evie is really sincere and I think he cares about her a lot which is cute. (Like when he got angry/upset about her touching John's ring or whatever and swept her away haha) I mean I get that sense from Sam as well but I think he has his own shit to deal with before falling in love with a girl you know?

((omg thinks of kartik and sobs, LIBBA DONT YOU DARE))

heh no prob! i have like a chapters.indigo account which is basically the same thing as this i think? but i wanted to join for this group cause it looks really cool! i hope we can get some more members and discussions going! I'd love to here peoples thoughs about the book.

and gosh, thanks so much hahah! how did you know it was me? :P

Right?? I think Sam's too preoccupied right now to be in a relationship, too. They have their sweet moments though like when he's by the door I think and Evie's locked it and he's trying to get her out (something like that I forget the exact details) but Evie and Jericho just seem right for each other.

Like one of my favorite quotes is this one: "Jericho didn't know if he would function like a normal man. He only knew that he had all the feelings of one. He wanted Evie. He wanted her desperately. With his hands on hers, he imagined what it would be like to kiss her, to make love to her. She was a little spoiled and often selfish, a good-time girl with a surprising kind streak. She ran toward life full tilt while Jericho held back, not daring. She made him feel alive, and he wanted more of it."

SOBS THEY'RE PERFECT

BUT like you, I have this awful feeling that something bad is going to happen to Jericho...like at the end of the second book, he dies trying to save Evie and just UGH

OMG KARTIK SOBS WHY DID HE HAVE TO TURN INTO A TREE WHY

Goodreads is more like a discussion/reviews for all the books you've read I think?? I mean, they have links and stuff for Amazon to buy the book but I don't think they have an in-site store.

Hopefully, we get more members! I made this because I wanted people to discuss it so I could talk to them about it. Like Tumblr's great for graphics and art and stuff but discussion's kind of hard with multiple people. I've been trying to promote it and stuff on Tumblr and Twitter (I even tried tweeting Libba to help me but I don't think she'll respond ahahaha) but so far, you're the only one who responded.

And that's how I knew it was you because I was looking on Tumblr to see who responded to my text post and I was like 'OMG STKIDD LIKED MY POST' and yeah.
