Challenge Corner discussion

The upstart firm Foundryside is struggling to make it. Orso Igancio and his star employee, former thief Sancia Grado, are accomplishing brilliant things with scriving, the magical art of encoding sentience into everyday objects, but it's not enough. The massive merchant houses of Tevanne won't tolerate competition, and they're willing to do anything to crush Foundryside.
But even the merchant houses of Tevanne might have met their match. An immensely powerful and deadly entity has been resurrected in the shadows of Tevanne, one that's not interested in wealth or trade routes: a hierophant, one of the ancient practitioners of scriving. And he has a great fascination for Foundryside, and its employees - especially Sancia.
Now Sancia and the rest of Foundryside must race to combat this new menace, which means understanding the origins of scriving itself - before the hierophant burns Tevanne to the ground.

starting this one now :)

I won't be able to read it this month unfortunately :( Almost no time left in March.

Ch 10: (view spoiler)[well well.. I don't know what to think so far but if she keeps calling him 'my prophet' I might get annoyed. (hide spoiler)]
Ch 20: (view spoiler)[oh thank god, I hope he pulls through! I don't know what I will do if he ends up dying. (hide spoiler)]
Ch 30: (view spoiler)[yikes, I hope she doesn't merge with the god! it does seem oddly suspicious that she is eager for this. (hide spoiler)]
Finished: (view spoiler)[omg omg omg please tell me he didn't die for nothing? or maybe he didn't die and he's just slightly injured? ugh. (hide spoiler)]

I'm finally picking up this book! I actually started last night and reading the ebook, I'm actually surprised at how much I'm enjoying it since I really didn't like my experience listening to the first book in the series.

Thanks!

You're welcome!

I'll be a little late to this. Maybe Thursday? If I can't get to it tomorrow that is.

Same here

I will definitely start this tomorrow, after I finish Blood Scion

Same!

Starting this now!

Me too!

Part 1 (view spoiler)[ I feel bad that Gregor has been used for killing so many people by his mother and she's still a problem for him. I want her gone so he can't be used again.

Also, I miss Clef! (hide spoiler)]

Part 2 (view spoiler)[ Well, Crasedes has crazy power and I don't know if Valeria can protect them. I wonder how they'll stop him? He does have good points sometimes though. I liked how he made that rapist prick cut off his thumb and then sign over the mountain. Haha suck it. (hide spoiler)]

Part 3 (view spoiler)[ Clef is back whoo!!! I am so happy.

Crasedes making people gouge out their eyes is horrifying. Ew.

The twinning is crazy and would be difficult to get used to. (hide spoiler)]

Part 4 (view spoiler)[ Clef is Crasedes' dad?? Woah, did not see that coming. How sad :(

And now Gregor isn't himself. I hope they can get him back!! (hide spoiler)]

Part 5 (view spoiler)[ I didn't quite understand the ending. Is Gregor possessed by the city of Tevanne? And what exactly did Orso sacrifice himself to do? He kind of blew up the city or something I think.
Either way, the girls are on their own now and I hope they can save Gregor because I can't lose someone else! (hide spoiler)]

Okay, I'm back to listening to this. So far behind but I will catch up lol

No worries!

Part 1: (view spoiler)[Definitely shouldn't have had that weird pause around chapter 6 for like 3 days lmao. It was just really weird and I'm not sure why I didn't dive into the book either. All I'm going to say is that I feel really bad for Gregor right now. His mom needs to go. (hide spoiler)]

It's definitely odd when you come back into the middle of something lol.

Gregor's mom sucks

Oh shit. I just finished part 3 lmao. Okay, adding comments for part 2 and 3 now.

Part 2: (view spoiler)[A lot has happened so far and since I didn't even realize that I finished part 2 until I heard "Part 4". Well, we can just forget about this comment, right? (hide spoiler)]

Aly wrote: "Part 1"

Same! I miss Clef so much!

Aly wrote: "Part 2 [spoilers removed]"

hahahahah suck it!

Part 3: (view spoiler)[When I say that I screamed pure joy/happiness when I heard from Clef - well, let's just saw that I scared the shit out of Bailey who was dreaming. So happy he's back and I can forget about the whole eye gouging that happened because that shit will give me nightmares. (hide spoiler)]

Aly wrote: "Part 3 . "

Yeah, that was gross. I want that image out of my mind.

Alaina wrote: "Part 3: [spoilers removed]"

I was so happy too!

Part 4: (view spoiler)[I'm sorry but Clef is the dad of WHO? What the horse shit. (hide spoiler)]

Aly wrote: "Part 4 "

Even though this is a reread my mind is still blown by that reveal. Also, yes, I need him to be normal again!

Part 5/Finished: (view spoiler)[Since this part was so short, it definitely like things were a bit rushed and kind of left open. Hoping to get answers in the next book. (hide spoiler)]

Aly wrote: "Part 5 ..."

Yes, I have lots of questions right now and need the next book!

When should we read the last book?

Does next week work for you? Or the beginning of next month?

I just have to catch up on a lot of books lol and I'm hoping I can do some magic this week.

The beginning of April is good!

Maybe 2 weeks from today? The 4th?

Does the 2nd or 3rd work for you? Or the 7th/9th if you want something a bit later.

Ooo the 4th works!

Haha okay great
