David Estes Fans and YA Book Lovers Unite! discussion

Rose, Tia, and I are starting a buddy read of on Monday, January 12th.
There is no number of set chapters per day, just read at your own pace.
Everyone is welcome to join!
Have fun!

Whoop! I'm excited for this :D

LOVED this one, its my fave of the series so far! Enjoy :)

Woot!! I'm so excited to read Cress!!! I may wait until Tuesday as I'm less than 100 pages from finishing Throne of Glass but will join you when I'm done!

I'm getting it tomorrow as the school library finally has it on hold for me, so I'll be starting it tomorrow afternoon!

Started it today. Chapter 5.
Liking Cress so far, and I already feel sorry for her!

I'm on chapter 6 and I agree Daniel! I love her already :)

Yay, so glad you guys are liking this one :) I'm sensing a BIG buddy read for the next book!

Chapter 7
(view spoiler)[YES! Finally! Kai is finally starting to realise that Cinder is trying to help him!! :D gah! So happyy (hide spoiler)]

I'm done reading for the day.
I'll read that spoiler tomorrow!

Alrighty :)

As long as you don't binge read like you did last time I'll hopefully keep up! LOL

Haha I won't XD I have school now so I'll be reading slower than normal. I'm also reading a couple other books

LOL I have school too, so I'll be slower as well.
We'll see how our paces match up. XD

I promise not to read too far ahead XD I'll just finish this chapter and then move on to another book

LOL
Don't let me pressure you into reading slowly. Read at the pace you want.

Nah it's fine :)

Chapter 8
(view spoiler)[ oh crap...oh crap...a lunar has the plague??? Crap this is so not good ._. (hide spoiler)]

Huge, David!!!

Chapter 9.
On my phone, can't do spoilers.
Really like it though.

Chapter 14.
(view spoiler)[
WOW. That scene at the satellite was epic. Crazy Lunar power display. So Scarlet is with the thurmaturge, Wolf is dying, Cinder is stuck with the Lunar guard, Cress and Thorne are stranded on Earth.
Questions- does the Lunar guard know that Cinder is Selene? Or does he just know that Selene exists?
Also- can we trust Thorne that he'll keep Cinder a secret and not turn her in? Has he really turned for the better? That's what it seems like, but you never know.
Oh- and Cress's love for Thorne is a bit weird. He's your knight in shining armour because you read 5 news articles about him? I guess the author did that so it fit with the Rapunzel storyline. (hide spoiler)]

Chapter 11
(view spoiler)[Oh no nononono scarlet D: just another freaking thing that they'll have to do >.> (hide spoiler)]

Wait what part is this? XD

(view spoiler)[when Sybil takes her :3 (hide spoiler)]

Tia ~people fall in love in mysterious ways ~ wrote: "[spoilers removed]"

Oh. Well, that was way after Chapter 11 for me. Weird.

Really? O.o
I'm reading it on my phone...but usually the chapters are right

I'm currently at 20%

(view spoiler)[So we're around the same spot even though my chapters are weird...in answer to your questions
I think the gaurd does know. I mean there's no way to know for sure until Cinder asks him or whatever but in my opinion I believe that he does know who she really is and that's why he helped her
Thorne...I'm pretty sure he's shown his loyalty to Cinder and all of his comments about a reward and stuff are just jokes because that's wjo he is :3
Cress's little fixation with Thorne is kinda cute I think xD but I agree that it's a little weird (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[ Cute in like, a creepy way. LOL
Thorne... I'm slowly learning to trust him but I still would not be surprised if he turned on her.
And yeah, I'm not sure about the guard, but maybe he does know. Do you think Levana told her minions who Selene is? (hide spoiler)]

And Tia, can you check the number of pages you have in your book? If it's the same as mine, we can start doing updates that way. I'm reading a hardcover, BTW, so it might be different from a phone format.

Just started Cress today as I finished Throne of Glass last night! You all just move along without me. I'm a slow reader. I'm only on Chapter 2 :(

25%.
(view spoiler)[ Uh oh, the one guy who lives on Earth is blind and the one girl who can see has never been on it before. (hide spoiler)]

That's ok Rose!
Read at your own pace and add to the discussion, it will be no problem at all!

Because it's on my phone it has hundreds of pages more than the actual copy of the book since the pages are smaller :p it might be easier if we just update with percentages...

(view spoiler)[ she may have told Sybil because she's the closest to her, but the others I don't think she did. If people really are more loyal to the princess, I don't think Levana would want to risk them turning on her if then found out who Selene really is (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[Well, then how does he know? You think he has suspicions? (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[ I believe he does. Either that or Sybil said something that caused him to put th pieces together. He knows that Levana wants Cinder and the only reason Levana might want someone that badly would be because they can hurt her position as queen. Or at least that's how I percieve Levana to be (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[ So you're saying that they know who Cinder is because, why else would Levana want her dead that badly? I often wondered the same thing myself. We'll see. (hide spoiler)]

Making progress! Chapter 4, page 28!!

Great Rose!

Yay Rose!! :)

Chapter 20.
(view spoiler)[ Something I'd never considered before- Cinder was adopted by the Linh's from Luna. All along I thought she was Asian, but now I don't think that's the case. She might be white.
So much dramatic irony with Kai. "Cinder will find Princess Selene. She has to." SHE IS HER, YOU DORK! Bleh.
It's getting good though. Can't wait to see how the group collides again and how things will go down at the ball. (hide spoiler)]

Chapter 30. 48%.
(view spoiler)[ It's getting a bit dull and boring- not much is happening. Which is odd, since multi-POV books usually have a fast pace. (hide spoiler)]

Daniel wrote: "Chapter 30. 48%.

(view spoiler)[Yes I agree...Im kind of pushing myself to read this now. The beginning was fine but it slowed down considerably. I hope it picks up again soon (hide spoiler)]

60%.
All I can say is that the plot is still really slow. I fell asleep reading on the subway.
(view spoiler)[ Is Erland Cress' father?
Who is Princess Winter? Does Jacin have no idea about Cinder being Princess Selene? (hide spoiler)]

I haven't even read yet today :3 I have a pre calculus test tomorrow. I'll try and read a little bit though

Good luck!
I'm done for the day. I'm dead tired.

Thanks :)
I know the feeling

Sorry I haven't read hardly any today. I've worked three 10 hour days in a row & I'm just worn out. Hopefully I will get lots done this weekend.
