I think my English teacher would be surprised I have a copy of the tagged book. I struggled SO MUCH with this book and truly hated it. Even thought I haven‘t read it yet, I know she would be pleasantly surprised I‘m willing to give it another shot.

This book was a tough one to get through. So many emotions. So much fighting amongst people who genuinely love each other. It actually hurt a little to read. Qhuinn was an absolute douche through most of the book, but he managed to redeem himself in the end, mostly. He better keep that shit up, though. Another ending that lead to tears. The books are certainly getting better as the series progresses.

GingerAntics @julesG turns out the Omega is going to die at some point (thank you internet), and it seems now that the brotherhood and the band of bastards are all on the same team now and in the same house, Butch may be sending the Omega to his makers soon than later… but then what will the point of the series be? Throe, probably. He just made some sort of shade/shadow thing. It‘s not good. 2y
julesG Hmm, no more lessers to fight? New enemies? As long as she doesn't come up with something more far flung than aliens. 2y
GingerAntics @julesG 🤣😂🤣 the undead does seem a bit overdone in this one. Apparently this is coming. It will be interesting to see. 2y
GingerAntics @julesG I think whatever it is, it will be of the supernatural bent, as opposed to the science fiction bent. These are labeled as supernatural. 2y

🤣😂🤣 oh my god, please let “Scribe Virgin” be replaced by “Oversexed Lassiter.” 😂🤣😂

GingerAntics @julesG *thank Oversexed Lassiter for the internet* “[The Scribe Virgin] chose to pass away and gave her power to Lassiter to rule in her stead. Her essence resides in Beth's cat, Boo.” How in the bloody hell do we find this out?! Please tell me it‘s soon!!! 😆 2y
GingerAntics @julesG well apparently I should have stopped typing and kept listening. There it is!!! 2y
julesG 🙈🤣🤣 2y
GingerAntics @julesG it‘s brilliant!!! I was expecting her to become some other deity or something, but no, she just wanted to be with her kids and have no pressure, so she became their pet. 2y

This must be a really good feeling.

Of all the bloody people the Scribe Virgin could have chosen to replace her, Lassiter would have been my last choice… and now he‘s created a huge nor‘easter way early just because he can.

Qhuinn and I are not friends right now. In fact, he‘s being a real ass. I kind of hope Wrath beats him up for firing a gun in his house with all the Young at home. Blay, Buddy, you need to divorce Qhuinn and get a new mate. This one is being a douche. I know you‘ve got enough love for him to get over this, but I‘m not sure I do.

julesG Ugh! Guess you want to slap him around the head with the book. 2y
GingerAntics @julesG weeeeell, seeing that the book is on my iPad, not so much. His dumb, hard head would probably break it. I‘m sure I‘ve got a suitably large tome around here that will do the trick, though. He went after Layla verbally, then Blay verbally basically saying he had no part in the twins‘ lives, then attempted to attack Layla physically. He may have had a point, but he lost any foot to stand on when he started running his mouth. 2y

Well, this is certainly a change. So many questions. I‘m really hoping to find out what this other role is. Has she become a mortal mother for Payne and V to not talk to?

It‘s certainly going to be interesting to see what happens with the chosen now that the scribe virgin has abdicated her title. Her entry in the Glossary of Terms and Proper Nouns has literally now been switched to past tense.

This was required summer reading between freshman and sophomore year of high school. At the time, I absolutely hated it entirely because of Danny‘s father. At 15 years old, I couldn‘t fathom why a father would be that damaging on purpose. As an adult, I see him, and parenting, in a different light. I‘ve wanted to reread this for a while.

GingerAntics I have to say this copy is much nicer than the mass market paperback I had in high school, too. 3y
BookishMarginalia Indeed! I read this in high school too. 3y
GingerAntics @BookishMarginalia I think it‘s a common book for high school students to read. It seems it depends on your relationship with your parents if this book angers you as a teenager or not. The one friend I still have from high school, we bonded over our shared frustration with this book (including the fact we‘d both thrown it across the room on multiple occasions) the first time we met. 3y
