Challenge Corner discussion

Divided by their order. United by their vengeance.

Iraya has spent her life in a cell, but every day brings her closer to freedom - and vengeance.

Jazmyne is the Queen’s daughter, but unlike her sister before her, she has no intention of dying to strengthen her mother’s power.

Sworn enemies, these two witches enter a precarious alliance to take down a mutual threat. But power is intoxicating, revenge is a bloody pursuit, and nothing is certain - except the lengths they will go to win this game.

This Jamaican-inspired fantasy debut about two enemy witches who must enter into a deadly alliance to take down a common enemy has the twisted cat-and-mouse of Killing Eve with the richly imagined fantasy world of Furyborn and Ember in the Ashes.

Starting this now!

Ch 1-10: (view spoiler)[So far I'm really liking how these characters aren't afraid or holding back in any certain situation. They are definitely strong leaders in their own way. I'm also liking the magical system too. Super excited to see what is going to happen next. (hide spoiler)]

Ch 11-20: (view spoiler)[I don't think I have a thing with heights but I also don't think I could do what Iraya did. I'm also intrigued by the little betrayals and all the twists. Revenge will be interesting if it ever happens.. (hide spoiler)]

Ch 21-30: (view spoiler)[The magic is definitely getting more interesting with each chapter. Some of it sounds so exhausting though. I'm surprised that they aren't exhausted themselves. Maybe that's why they are such bad asses in my eyes. Still.. I'm jealous of it all. (hide spoiler)]

Ch 31-40: (view spoiler)[Eeck I'm getting so close to the end and I have no idea what is going to come my way or how this is going to end. There's so many twists that my brain feels the whiplash constantly but it's okay because the girls are keeping me on my toes and on the edge of my seat. (hide spoiler)]

Ch 41-50: (view spoiler)[Uhh.. can we go back to the food being described?? ..because YUM! (hide spoiler)]

Ch 51-Finish: (view spoiler)[What the what?!? So much happened towards the end that I'm slightly confused by it all. I'm still going to dive into the sequel whenever that becomes a thing and maybe it can help explain everything that went down a bit better for me. (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[ The magic is so cool! I like both main characters a ton but Something about Kirdan feels fishy :s. Maybe just because I trust Anya lol.
Man I haven't read a book quite this slow paced for a while I am slogging through. (hide spoiler)]
