The Not-So Austen Bookclub discussion

It might sever our fangirling hearts, but the next book in the series is sure to be a winner - discuss it here!

I cannot wait! I love this series so much! What do you think of the name and the cover?

I think the cover is GORGEOUS and the title totally fits in with the rest of the series.

I'm so excited! I think Fever was my favorite cover, but this one is beautiful too! It's great to see Rhine's face full on! Plus the green makes it perfect! As for the title, I've read a lot of criticism but I think its a fitting title! What do you predict will happen?

That's a hard question! Hmm...I think she will grow to see a different side of Linden and appreciate him more. But whether she chooses him or Gabriel...I don't know!!

I love Linden! The end of Fever was amazing. I don't really know who I think she will choose. Do you think they will find the cure? I kind of do.

It would be kinda anti-climatic if they didn't find the cure! I think they will - if they don't, it's like the cure has been dangled over our heads for the past two books and then the author will be 'lol, sike, sorry guys there's no cure OH LOOK IT'S JELLYBEANS!"

So, yep, I see the cure being found somewhere along the line :)

That's exactly what I thought. Uhh I cannot wait. Such an ending. DeStefano is a literary genius. The plot just keeps building and building. I feel like after I read the last book my brain will explode and I'll be in awe.

Brain explosions seem very likely to occur, along wit frequent fangirling and heart palpitations!

This is one of my favorite dystopain series. Others that I really like are the Across the Universe trilogy, The Shatter Me Series and Under the Never Sky. Then there is The Hunger Games of course. (:

Same here. Lauren is an AMAZING author!

Indeed! I'm sad it is just a trilogy! I love Rhine!

Maybe she'll write another series - I do love her writing and I sincerely hope that Lauren will write more books in the future. Who knows?! Maybe they'll be even better than this series!

Hopefully! It would be such a waste of her talent if she didn't. She is just amazing. Who is you favorite character and favorite book?!

Hmm...hard question! Out of Lauren's books, my favourite was the first one. And my fave character was Linden; especially when he was so heartbroken over his wife dying, and then when he treated Rhine like his confidant and friend. I felt so sorry for him that his father lied to him about everything.

I agree about Wither being the best. My favorite character is Rhine. But Linden is my preferred love interest. The emotion that he showed at the end of Fever was heart breaking and I think Rhine is really in love with him even though she doesn't want to admit it. He is such a developed character while I feel Gabriel is not as dimensional.

ONE MORE DAY!!

Got a copy!! So excited to read :)

Finished!!

My goodness...THE ENDING!

It was bittersweet to be sure.

Rowan and Rhine are like, the cutest brother-sister/twin relationship ever. And their names sounds so cool together. (*murmurs* Rowan-and-Rhine-Rowan-and-Rhine...!)

Cecily is a little immature still, despite Rhine's feelings that she's 'matured' and 'grown'. Yeah, bad stuff has happened to the girl, but she still displays that pettiness we've grown to expect from her. It gets a little weary sometimes, especially when so much important stuff is going on...and then there's Cecily, whining about something as usual.

Linden is heart-wrenchingly amazing and I wanted to hug him so bad when reading this!!!

Rhine's a strong, independent woman!

Uncle Reed is bad-ass, eccentric and kinda like Beorn from the Hobbit ;)
