Guys in books are just... well... better! discussion

Compare away.

Haha, no comparision! KARTIK!

Umm, who are they?

A Great and Terrible Beauty. READ IT!

Really? I just got that book out of the library today.

LOL. Seriously? Yes! Well, don't pay atenttion to WHATEVER we say over here, I don't want it spoiled for you!

Okay, I'll wait until i'm done reading it and then come back here.

No, finish the entire series and THEN come. Well, at least Rebel Angels.

Ya, I like simon but Kartik is AMAZING! And steph read, read as fast as you can!!!!

lol

Have you read them Ariana?

Nope :(

:( you should they rock!

Ok! :)

The first one is A great and terrible beauty by Libba Bray

Kay thanks! :)

No Problem :)

*Spoiler*

I am a little upset with how they got "rid" of Simon though. I really liked his character, I mean I LOVE Kartik, but Simon is cool too. He sort of gets dismissed.

Uh, Sharayah. *Spoiler spoiler


SPOILER FOR RA!


Simon practically RAPES Gemma.

I KNOW! Ya realized that after I posted. Should I remove or should we allow spoilers. I think it's ok. I will specify that it has spoilers.

Okay, sounds good! Yes, Simon is a total jerk!

That is true I had forgotten bout that little detail haha. Stupid of me I know... I am ashamed. But Kartik does sort of have an atitude problem... I love him anyways but I think he over reacts.

Yes, but I think in RA his race was an excuse to leave.

Ya, I was still upset the moment was ruined... lol

Yes! Tell me about it! lol.

*Major Spoiler*



Gah I wish more happened romantically between them. I was dying at the end! A kiss here and there idk something annother adventure into the woods where he would have to pretend she was his again. haha ANYTHING lol

Yes, but, come one, we got some AMAZING quotes from him:

"You can glimpse it in another."

"To each his own magic."

Sigh.

Soooo true *says while sighing* He does have a way with words haha :)

Haha

RA spoilers


I just read finished AGTB and RA. I was shocked by what Simon did at the Christmas Party. That was very ungentlemanly. I can't believe how he thought that woiuld be okay and how Gemma still wanted to be with him after. Kartik all the way. The Rakshana and the order were lovers after-all. Which makes me wonder about Amar and Virginia.

I can't wait to read A Sweet Far Thing. I hope Kartik and Gemma end up together and happy.

I know! They portray Simon so "gentleman like" and then go and ruin him...

Kartik was cool, and she made the right choice, choicing love over money, and choicing a guy who knows her secrets over a guy who would flee if he knew.
I met Libba Bray, if anyone cares. She's really REALLY cool!

****Possibel spoilers!!!****

I think if Simon hadn't tried to rape Gemma then he would have been better for her than Kartik, even though he was who she really loved, but I couldn't stand that guy!! He was being too polite, even for a guy in the Victorian period. Kartik is tall, dark, and handsome. Not to mention mysterious. There's something about him that just pulls you in. It would have been funny to see how they (Kartik & Gemma) would have acted in a relationship. haha.

Did anyone else cry at the end of TSFT????? I couldn't beleive Libba Bray would do that to Kartik after everything he's been through!!!!

And Emily, congrats on meeting her! I'm so jelous!

i didn't read tsft because I can still believe that Kartik and Gemma end up together. If I read it it is all over.

Libba Bray was REALLY cool! Everyone here would really like her, she's so inspiring!

Simon was stupid. Why take the easy way out with a guy as fake as him when there's a harder trip for true love?

of course, when i first started reading, i wasn't digging the idea of a hot indian guy, because i couldn't picture one at all... but i fell in love with kartik during the series

Like I said when I first read them I didn't really picture Kartik Indian I mean I didn't picture him white exactly. But not Indian ha ha so I created a really cute guy that was really tan I guess :p

yeah i live in an area in california where it's asian central

so ive met a lot of indian people and not one of them, was really "hot" in my opinion

they were nice (not to mention smart) but not THAT good looking

Lol Nice
