Sydney’s Comments (group member since Sep 20, 2017)

Sydney’s comments from the Hype Or Not group.

I worry about Adam. They talk about how his home life is bad and that his father would leave bruises if he's caught sneaking out :(

I think Whelk is stuck. He wants to still be his 17 year old self. And he wants to find the king.

I HAVE NO IDEA.

Persephone seems like on off-brand Luna tbh lol.

I'm also thinking her attachment to his journal might have something to do with him being her true love. Like, he references his journal, saying this is HIM, so if she has this destiny to love him, this thing that holds his essence would naturally be pretty appealing, you know?

Whelk is bad. Czerny is definitely going to be important to the story.

CHAINSAW IS MY FAVORITE I LOVE HER I WANT MORE

YES. Love triangle coming in hard.

So either Gansey is her true love, in which case Adam is safe, but she knows she will fall in love with his best friend. So dating him is shitty.

OR Gansey isn't, which means Adam could be and he isn't safe. So either way, I think it's rude.

I think Ronan is so prickly because he's hurt inside, so before his dad died, I don't think he was quite so prickly and probably communicated better.

And I have no clue about Ashley. I need more info.

I think her prejudice might have to do with money issues, which she's alluded to having problems with in her family, or just past experience.

Also, their meeting was the cutest and hilarious and I loved it. It's totally leading to a disaster.

Ew.

Ooooh, I like Destiny's idea that she was lying! I also think maybe the way he dies isn't really set in stone yet? Like, the universe knows he'll die because they're true loves, but it could play out any number of ways.

IDK.

I love Gansey. And Noah. He's creepy and I love it. Also, Adam because he's a cinnamon roll. And Ronan because he's complicated and a cinnamon roll inside.

I love them all, okay?

Maybe it has something to do with his forefathers? I don't know.
Btw, this book mak..."

I totally agree! I feel like there's so much foreshadowing and layers that I wouldn't pick up on unless I reread after finishing the series.

I would NOT want to know I'm going to die. NOPE. NAH. NEVER.

And I think he's her true love because I love him and I'm hella cheesy.

I would NOT do that. But I WOULD report the guy who did it so that he'd go to prison or something.

Probably, because she has to stay in the competition to keep investigating.

Ren seems like an asshole.

I think Hideo's press conference was kind of weird. I don't understand why their so weirdly attached already lol.

NO. This world sounds like a migraine waiting to happen. And the party sounds like a panic attack waiting to happen, haha. I'd have to be a hermit in this world.

That last line of Jes's comment really got me thinking. She is much more desperate than any of us have probably been, and is unsure where she will live or what she will eat in the upcoming days. That definitely prompts much more risk taking than I would ever consider.

But I've also seen extremely poor areas where being arrested was seen as a good thing because it meant food and a place to sleep. I'm not sure what their punishment would even be, but if it was prison, there is that advantage.

There's no way anyone is perfect, so idolizing someone is never a good idea. And I feel like the story is hinting at them eventually meeting, which means she'll inevitably be disappointed.

I also think her idolization stemmed from her desire for someone to look up to. And just as her idolization of her father crumbled, her idolization of Tanaka will as well, and she will be hurt again.

Losing a parent is something that completely transforms a person, so she wouldn't have followed the exact same path. However, her father's debt would have caught up with them eventually, and put them into her current financial situation. Those kinds of situation often force children to grow up fast-- exactly like dealing with his death did. And she still would have been influenced by Tanaka. So I think she could have easily ended up doing extremely similar things, this time to keep her and her father afloat; however, she would have a parent to support and guide her, and a lot of her internal struggle would be easier.

I feel like I'd definitely be a hacker... but a legally employed hacker because I'm a scaredy cat lol. I'm not really a gamer or a fighter, so the others probably wouldn't interest me, but I LOVE coding and the satisfaction of creating a program that works. I feel like hacking would be a more fun version of regular programming!
