WOW. It took me a minute to get back in the story because I finished Gemina back in March. But boy I'm loving this one!
I'm at 50% and I've teared up quite a few times...
How's everyone doing on this round?

Same with me. I honestly had no idea who the characters were so I had to look them up online lol. I feel like Obsidio is more text heavy than the other ones.

Agree about text heavy. I’m on 537, so close to the end!! So. Many. Feeeeeels!

Totally agree about the text, I kinda miss Hannah's drawings/diary pages from Gemina. I thought those were nice.
Once again we see that Grant ladies kick ass!

Aw! I forgot about the drawings!!

I just finished guys AND 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻

I feel like if you've gotten all the way to Obsidio, you can't help but enjoy it, new characters + all your old favs, what's not to love?

I stalled a bit (because of Anime Expo preparations lol) but I rather like the text heaviness of it. It explains so much more and I'm enjoying seeing the different personalities of the observers haha.

I finished this the other day. I have to say, the first 100-150 pages were a bit of a struggle for me, but then I was HOOKED! I am so glad I persisted. Also - I feel like we need an entire thread dedicated the precious cinnamon roll that is Isaac Grant. Ya'll, I can't even with that man! His little moments 100% made this book for me :)

I finished this a few days ago as well, and I loved it! I enjoyed all of it--it was more text heavy, but that was fine with me!

(view spoiler)[ I loved the moment when they all figured out that Ezra's Mom was responsible. That was incredible! Also, I knew that Nik and Ezra were not dead at the end. I just knew the authors would "resurrect" them again! Anyone else call that? (hide spoiler)]

And I agree about Isaac. That scene with him and Ella towards the end had me tearing up!

What did everyone think of Rhys and Asha? I didn't love them as much as Kady, Ezra, Hannah, Ella, and Nik, but I also feel like we didn't get enough time to know them. But I did really like Rhys, and of course Asha, who was so selfless.

I'm almost halfway through now -- I'm not sure how to feel about it.

(view spoiler)[With everything that has been happening in the US with child separation, the sections on Kerenza about how the occupation effects the local civilians is VERY hard to read. Especially with the soldiers constantly saying "They were illegal!" (hide spoiler)]

I am liking it so far, but I can tell this one is going to leave me with a lot of feelings.

The parallels are uncanny.

(view spoiler)[ Same here, I knew the Parachute would come in handy!
And the scene when Ezra finds out about his mom was devastating to me! (hide spoiler)]
