The Community Chapter discussion

Hi everyone! To keep us all moving through the book together, we’ll be reading pages 1–92 only for this week. This section sets the stage, introduces the key characters, and begins building the world and early conflicts—just enough to spark some great conversation without getting ahead of each other.
Take your time, enjoy the opening chapters, and jot down any thoughts, questions, or favorite moments as you go.
We’ll come together Saturday to discuss everything covered in pages 1–92. Looking forward to hearing everyone’s perspectives and first impressions.
Come back here to see next week's recommended reading!
Sending you good reading energy!

Hey y'all! This week we’ll be reading pages 93–183. This section deepens the emotional threads and raises the stakes in really compelling ways, giving us more insight into the characters and the world around them! Take your time moving through this middle stretch, and we’ll come together at the end of the week to talk about everything it sets in motion.

This week we’ll be reading pages 184–270!
This section deepens the emotional tension and pushes our characters into more complicated territory—both personally and within the larger world around them. As you move through these chapters, pay attention to how loyalties shift, how choices tighten, and how the story’s stakes begin to sharpen.
We’ll come together at the end of the week to talk through everything this stretch sets in motion.
Happy reading, everyone—can’t wait to hear your thoughts on where the story is headed next.

We’ve officially reached the final stretch! This week we’ll be reading pages 271 through the end, closing out our journey with The Song of Achilles. Next weekend, we’ll share our final reviews and then lovingly shelf this one for the year. It’s been such a rich, emotional read together, and it feels fitting to savor these last chapters as a group.
As we wrap up, I’m already looking forward to what story we’ll dive into next- new characters to meet, new worlds to explore, and another chance to read side‑by‑side as a community. Here’s to finishing strong and turning the page toward our next adventure.
