YA Buddy Readers' Corner ♥ discussion

I remembered my name – Mara. But, standing in that ghostly place, faced with the solemn young man in the black coat with silver skulls for buttons, I could recall nothing else about myself.

And then the games began.

The Messenger sees the darkness in young hearts, and the damage it inflicts upon the world. If they go unpunished, he offers the wicked a game. Win, and they can go free. Lose, and they will live out their greatest fear.

But what does any of this have to do with Mara? She is about to find out . . .

Starting itt right noww 🥰🥰

Starting it now! 😁😁

(view spoiler)[ It's horrible that Kayla is bullying Sam and getting amusement out of it. I don't know anyone who had OCD, but it seems like it's really hard for Sam-it's cruel to make fun of her for something she cannot control. (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[ When the 'boy' talks about her "redemption" it reminds me of a Christmas Carol (we're studying it at school) and how the ghosts seek to help Scrooge find redemption for his cruel ways. This makes me wonder if Mara has done something sinful in her life and he is showing her how actions have consequences using the story of Sam. (hide spoiler)]

Ooooooh yeah it is pretty sad :((( hope she gets the justice she deserves...but i think Kayla would just be a one appearance character, (but i might be wrong tho)

(view spoiler)["What is your judgment?"

At this point i feel like Mara is going to be like the one who'll do the punishments for these people and then it will all be for her to judge her own bad actions in the end but i might be just predicting it though :) (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[ IKR!!! That was horrifying, 😦 Imagine how both of them would've felt. (hide spoiler)]

57%
(view spoiler)[ Oriax seems to be related to the idea of lust (like even with her description and how Mara was attracted to it and felt the need to touch her-and the talk about her 'mistress'.)
Like Aphrodite-goddess of beauty and love? So maybe they're like a version of Gods, powerful beings that each have their own task. The messenger is part of Justice and righting wrongs. (hide spoiler)]

78%
(view spoiler)[ They're burning him and they won't let him die, they're horrible. I understand that he needs atone for what he did but this is cruel and awful! (hide spoiler)]

Finished!
(view spoiler)[ Mid book I had a thought that Mara could be Kayla but I dismissed it. So it wasn't huge surprise when she found that out. But I enjoyed the book, I haven't read anything like it before and I'm looking forward to read the next. Who do you think Ariadne is? (hide spoiler)]
Are you interested in buddy reading the second book after we do the ones we've already planned?

Yepppppp we cann!

100%



(view spoiler)[Yeahhhhhh i just also finished it aaand i really had the thought that Mara and Kayla would be the same person because of my message at 31%, “And when I am judged ready, I will faithfully execute my office.” meaning that she would also be punished at the end (hide spoiler)]
