David Estes Fans and YA Book Lovers Unite! discussion

This month we have a treat!! We're reading David's newest fantasy book, Fatemarked!

Spoilers are welcome but please hide them with spoiler tabs for those who have not read this book.

Enjoy!!! :)

I have my copy, and will be starting it soon... Probably this weekend.

WOOOT!!

Yay! Just got my copy today!!

My copy popped into my kindle last night!! Woot!!

Oh, and HAPPY BOOK BIRTHDAY, David!! I still need to read the final draft but the beta read and ARC were AMAZING! Everyone is in for a big treat!

Thanks all!! I'm just popping in this one time to say how much I appreciate all your support and that I truly hope you enjoy this book and the rest of the series. I've spent a long time developing the world, the characters, and the twisting plot, and I hope I didn't screw it up lol! Either way, this is your forum to discuss the book with your honest opinions, so I will stay out of it, unless someone requests that I come in to answer a reader question.

Thanks again and prepare to enter the world of the Four Kingdoms!

I started reading it last night. I'm only 10% in right now, because apparently my body insists it needs sleep from time to time, so I was forced to put it down in order to get some rest. I'm loving it so far, and looking forward to continuing the story this evening.

I know... So inconvenient, right? ;)

This was such a great book! I totally devoured it lol.

Wow! That was fast Kris! I'm so excited! I'm trying to get through the books I'm reading so I can start it. I'm sooo glad you liked it!!!

That's so awesome!! :)

That's awesome, Kris... Glad you enjoyed it!

I'm about half way through now, and loving it. Hoping to be able to read the rest later today.

I'm reading this now. I'm about 15% in. So sad about Roan's childhood. Love Prince Gareth and Roan's quips to each other!

Finally finished my review! It is spoiler-free!

So happy you're joining us, Melissa! :-D I hope you love this as much as I do!

I'm at 18%. (view spoiler)[That was heartbreaking about Annise's mother. *sob* (hide spoiler)]
I love the idea of "streaming". Such a clever and unique way of communication.

That's so awesome! And agreed :)

I loved the idea of streaming too, very cool concept :)

Great review, Jenny!

I'm at 80%. I'd hoped to be able to finish it last night, but it was getting late and I couldn't risk a late night reading session, since I had to be up early this morning. The only good thing about not being done yet is that I have more awesome story to look forward to this evening, and the longer this book lasts me, the less time I have to wait between finishing this one and being able to start the next when it's out. ;)

I love the idea of streaming too. Way cooler than the kind of streaming I used to do (streaming in my case was essentially doing an online radio type thing).

Thanks Victoria!

I love the idea of streaming also, but if it got in the wrong hands... that could be some serious trouble.

Hence the secret codes in some cases, I assume.

Just posted up my review, it's spoiler free (I never post spoilers in my reviews) and can be found here if anyone wants to read it: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

Is it bad that I kinda felt sorry for the bear?

Finished it yesterday? The day before! I have my days confused! I loved it! Freaking 5 stars! And, um, I'm in love with Tarin =)

Thank you for such a wonderful book, David. And thank you for supporting my blog. Your the best!
