Challenge Corner discussion

A group of teenage students, while exploring deep within the rainforest, barely survive an encounter with a wild and surprisingly magical boar. In doing so, they discover that events that threaten to destroy their entire civilization have already been set into motion.

The Black Tide, the annual rampage of millions of giant ants through the rainforest, has been coerced by the Demon Queen to take a path that will send it tearing through the farmlands that support the Citadel, their home.

While the adults frantically race to prepare for the coming disaster, one of the teenagers who survived the boar attack, Malcolm, begins to experience violent visions of the past. He learns that he’s no longer alone in his own body. His revelations lead the group of teenagers to discover that many of the leaders within the Citadel are similarly possessed.

Ch 10: (view spoiler)[Glad that Soren was there to stop whatever that was but Raehl kind of deserved it as well. (hide spoiler)]
Ch 20: (view spoiler)[I feel like I would've passed out or thrown up during that fight.. (hide spoiler)]
Ch 30: (view spoiler)[Eliana and her family is just way too cute. I love how her parents just support and love her so much. I also thought the gift was kind of cool. Ugh, if only I could be a witch.. (hide spoiler)]
Finished: (view spoiler)[Interesting how she was hurting herself with the whole lightning thing.. and how the wand has some of that in it now. Kind of seems like it would be like catching lightning in a bottle or whatever. So, yeah, it seems hard to do. I'm intrigued to see what the next book will bring.. (hide spoiler)]

How was this? I'm planning on reading it this weekend

It was pretty good.. had some slow parts but I'm intrigued to see what the next book will be like.

Okay, good to know

Yeah I'm excited to see what you think!

25% (view spoiler)[ so every year, huge ants come across the land and devastate it? That sucks. I also want to know more about the demon cities (hide spoiler)]
50% (view spoiler)[ the necromancy stuff is interesting. I wonder if the soul inside Malcolm actually wants to help or not? (hide spoiler)]
75% (view spoiler)[ There's almost too much action and not enough about the characters or world. I also feel bad that so many people are dying (hide spoiler)]
Finished (view spoiler)[ Is it just Malcolm, Liam, and Attia that have souls? I wasn't sure if the others got a soul or not (hide spoiler)]
