Challenge Corner discussion

A world divided.
A queendom without an heir.
An ancient enemy awakens.

The House of Berethnet has ruled Inys for a thousand years. Still unwed, Queen Sabran the Ninth must conceive a daughter to protect her realm from destruction—but assassins are getting closer to her door.

Ead Duryan is an outsider at court. Though she has risen to the position of lady-in-waiting, she is loyal to a hidden society of mages. Ead keeps a watchful eye on Sabran, secretly protecting her with forbidden magic.

Across the dark sea, Tané has trained all her life to be a dragonrider, but is forced to make a choice that could see her life unravel.

Meanwhile, the divided East and West refuse to parley, and forces of chaos are rising from their sleep.

I haven't made it very far yet haha

Ch. 12-- (view spoiler)[I'm a bit lost. There's a ton of characters and I don't quite remember them all. Plus I have basically no idea how to spell any of them so that's a bonus 🙃 So far tho I am kinda shipping Ead and Queen Sabran together. Tane is interesting since she was chosen to be a dragon rider. Other than that I remember nothing. THo a worm has appeared in the sky! (hide spoiler)]

Once I finish crown of feathers I will dive into this - hopefully I'll remember lol

Yay!! I can remind you if i don't forget

lmao both of us relying on our horrible memory skills xD

My brain is completely fried

for real for real

Finally made it up to ch 33! This thing is such a beast agh.

Ch. 33 (view spoiler)[ Ead told Queen Sabran not to open that door, but did she listen? No, she's all like I'm the damn queen. Yeah you are but now you're a widow. Good job.

I don't really care about Tane's storyline surprisingly. I usually love dragons and riders. But there's something about her that makes me all very meh about it. And I don't really understand exactly what she did wrong.

Loth found the Priory!! Holy cow. Okay that's pretty bomb. (hide spoiler)]

Ch 51 (view spoiler)[ I’m so glad to see Ead, Loth and Sabran reunited again. I can’t believe Tane had a jewel inside her body. That’s heckin weird. I wonder what it does. (hide spoiler)]

Finished (view spoiler)[ This was an okay story and I did like the ending. It was just so long and I really struggled to connect with a majority of characters. I really only cared for Sabran and Ead. Everyone else was meh (hide spoiler)]

Part 1: (view spoiler)[okay, that 'wedding' was awkward af. (hide spoiler)]
Part 2: (view spoiler)[Oh lord, now she is on the run?? Who wants to bet on whether she gets caught or not? (hide spoiler)]
Part 3: (view spoiler)[is it just me or is everything so freaking predictable?? (hide spoiler)]
Part 5: (view spoiler)[what the heck is even happening? what happened to the tension or hating one another? everyone was A-Okay with jumping ship and creating an alliance with a snap. (hide spoiler)]
Finished: (view spoiler)[OMG I SEE THE LIGHT! WHAT DAY IS IT? Holy crap Andy this thing was HUUUUGE (Donald Trump voice). Not quite sure how I feel about the ending.. it was okay but definitely meh at the same time? I don't know - I lost interest with everything after a certain point. (hide spoiler)]
