So far I’ve only manages to read the introduction and everything else, I’m only just starting to read the actual first chapter

Accidentally did pages, but I’m reading online.

I forgot to update this!!! I read a lot through the weekend though.

I started the book yesterday! I forgot to update my goodreads sadly. So far the book is fun

I think I’ll finish this book today, as the weather is horrendous. It’s a great excuse to finish a book though.

I like how we also get some recomendations from the author on what books we can use or recommend to students.

Wow, so far this book has inspired me. During reading she shows how she wants to find the reader in every single child. If your an underground reader or a dormant reader. I like how she reflects on actual students and shows us how she worked with them. Very inspiring so far!

Omg I am finally connecting all the dots. I was confused for a whole lot of pages about the story, also because I was disinterested in Sir Gawain and Edwin and Wistan. But now after reading more from sir Gawains pov I understand. Gawain wants to protect the dragon because she supresses the saxons memories ofthe scandalous things the britons did to them, but Wistan wants them to remember for justice. I love this!

I couldn’t really get into the sor Gawain pages if I’m honest. I like Edwin, but I’m starting to get confused about what his purpose is. He reavealed to Wistan that he was misleading him, but will he actually find his mother? I yearn for the Axl and Beatrice storyline everytime I read. They have grown on me, and I prefer to read their journey.

I forgot to update, however I read 20 pages on friday and 20 on monday.

The switch to Edwins narrative again was again a bit confusing. The girl being tied and edwin moving quickly to want to help her shows that he’s truly developing as a warrior like Wistan said. The sudden switch from axl and beatrice to Edwin to suddenly sir Gawain confuses me a tad bit. However, the different povs are interesting as well.

This book has such ups and downs. Sometimes I’m fully invested and understand what’s going on, and other times I’m a bit confused about the story. Beatrice is growing on me more, since before I found her a bit of a naggy old lady.

The story still confuses me especially with the briton and saxon soldier. I keep mixing up their names right now. I do feel like the story is getting more interesting to read.

I’ve just finished part 1 of this book, and now I’m 3 pages into the second part. So far I like the story, but at times it confuses me. The old English sentence structure sometimes throws me off, but I do enjoy how detailed the writer is with his scenes.

Chapter five has been the most interesting one eith chapter four so far, the pacing is becoming a bit faster. I also like how the author describes a lot of the details in new characters and new surroundings.

So far I’m incredibly intrigued by this story. I like how the author writes and writes the dialogue between Axl and Beatrice. In a few weeks time I’ve already read a lot.

So far so good

Confusing so far

So good
