YA Buddy Readers' Corner ♥ discussion

me and heather will read it on july 1

I'm at page 43 currently (view spoiler)[So far so good, I think Brooklynn is a snob, Aron is sweet, and Charlie idk.. she's okay. I think queen Sabara is a bitch (pardon the French lol) She just waited to murder a child. Also, I think Charlie is the prophesied child the Queen was talking about that could take over the throne.. it just seems to me that Charlie has quite a few secrets. (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[ I like Xander.. he seems dreamy lol (hide spoiler)]

im on page 54 (view spoiler)[ Brooklyn is ughh but I think she is a good friend and Charlie would make a cute couple with Aron but the queen is mean I hate her, but max seems nice but I don't know he could be playing her, Brooklyn is to reckless im scared she going to get hurt, and that girl Sydney is so mean to them, I just want to punch her^_^ (hide spoiler)]

yeah robin (view spoiler)[xander is cute at first I thought it was max and I was like he keep stalking her but them she called xander cute so I thought that she was going to get with him then I was like make up your mind girl which one you want (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[ I ant believe brook was a soldier, that max and xander are brothers and also cant believe, that they were princes, I thought that the queen was going to go into Charlie body but when she didn't I was happy im glad I read this I cant wait to read book 2 (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[that book was good cant wait to read book two i hope she goes out with xander and brook goes out with max (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[ I can't believe how this book ended! Charlie as queen.. I don't know about this.. (hide spoiler)]

Ch 4 (view spoiler)[ So this has been interesting, but I'm not crazy about it like I was the first time I read it. I don't like how Brooklynn is constantly described as boy-crazy. There's other ways to describe that and I'm kinda over this middle-school lingo. Max is interesting, but seriously who is he?? I don't trust Queen Sabara. The language thing is super fascinating as well. but like how can Charlaina understand all of them?? (hide spoiler)]

Ch 9 (view spoiler)[ Okay I'm really mad rn. I LOVED this book when I first read it and right now it's such a damn let down :( Charlaina is so judge-y and her friendship with Brooklynn makes no fucking sense!! She acts like she doesn't even like Brook??? Also, Max's character is weird and he shouldn't have any motivation to keep Charlaina safe?? What is he hiding? And what was up with her parents refusing to leave their house when bomb sirens are going off? So many weird things are happening rn (hide spoiler)]

Ch. 15 (view spoiler)[ I'm so over this book ugh. Charlie has been fucking brainwashed by the crown and I absolutely hate it. PLUS Brooklynn is a rebel and NOW SHES TURNED INTO A DIFFERENT PERSON. I'm so annoyed. But hey Max is a prince so yay *rolls eyes* (hide spoiler)]

I loved the (view spoiler)[language aspect as well. I also agree that this book seems a bit juvenile at times. :/ (hide spoiler)]

Andrea wrote: "Ch 9 [spoilers removed]"

I agree. (view spoiler)[I don't like how quick Max and Charlie got together. Seems to insta love for me and I was really annoyed that her parents kept insisting on staying behind. It was weird. -.- (hide spoiler)]

It wasn't quite that bad for me but it was a bit of a let down. I'm pretty sure I have read this before and I remember it as better but it was like 8 years ago so I was a lot younger. :S

Review(view spoiler)[ This was a pretty good book. Somewhere between a 3.5 and a 4.5. I liked Charlie. I also liked that her gift was languages since I am always envious of people who can speak more than their native language.

I also found Angeline's gift to be really cool. I'm glad she had it or a lot of people would have died.

I think I might just be getting tired of YA books but this book seemed a bit juvenile at times and the romance between Max and Charlie seemed a bit forced and insta love. That's the main reason this is a 4 star instead.

I was surprised that Brooke and Xander were double agents. I'm glad that Brooke didn't truly betray Charlie and that Xander and Max were willing to work together for the good of the kingdom.

I'm also happy that no one from the story died! Although I wish the Queen had. I can't believe the old croon is still around. Infecting Charlie with her evil spirit. :( (hide spoiler)]

Finished (view spoiler)[ Wow okay this freaking sucked. I'm so upset about it because I LOVED it the first time. So Sabara isn't even dead and now Charlie is like yeah that bitch was totally evil. UGH NO. I don't really understand what Angelina's power was either so. (hide spoiler)]
