Okay so I’m really rationing this out. I’m not ready to be extracted from this amazing world.

The huge difference in reading other characters’ points of view was at first abrasive to my “Darrow only” sensitivities, but now at the end, I’ll admit it’s made the whole world richer.
Oh, and Severo better not die. I don’t think I could forgive Darrow for that.

I can’t. Jesus Christ Man! I’m all tied up...he didn’t mention Sevro in the list of people he’d lost. The whole thing about your life being saved at the cost of a limb. I’m scared to keep reading because I just want to keep believing what I think I’m seeing.

I wasn’t expecting that. Is there an acronym for cursing out loud? COL? There was a moment...I may still be in it, where I debated putting the book down. This story breaks my heart over and over and over. I’m just hoping the whole thing doesn’t end like Rogue 1.

Jesus Christ. I had to put the book down for a second. Everything is going to shit, and now this.

There are 4 more books after this one. I hope, no matter how it comes, this kid gets some peace.

I don’t know how I never heard of this book before. Random pick up at B&N. I am already in deep.

So far...my heart has been left broken and bleeding and then reanimated and remade.

I am already obsessed.

Just started today, world is interesting, characters, while likable and intriguing to a degree—-feel, thin. I’m about half way through, but there’s something missing. Can’t quite articulate it, but there’s a certain depth missing. Things are moving quickly, but I feel like there is a haze over certain places, in order to maintain the timeline, they were skimmed.

Wish this chick would quit literally running away from everything. She’s grown so much through this series, but running away is her response to anything emotional. I guess technically the series covers only a few months, but still. Maybe it’s because I’m 36 and she’s 17—-but it’s irritating nonetheless.

Thank Mafi for Kenji Kishimoto and his rant. Exactly what I would want to say to Juliette!!! Hopefully this is a good sign and she starts to get over herself! Geesh!

Stopped reading years ago. Series and characters stopped being interesting for me.

Started Unravel today and it’s just as page turning as the first in the series, but Juliette is really getting on my nerves with her self pity. I mean, I get it, but at the same time she’s not even TRYING to better herself. So cheers the the author; I would imagine eliciting any strong emotional response with your writing is a good thing and boy is Juliette ticking me off with all this nonsense.

Okay. This book is likely giving me anxiety and I LOVE it. Most times, my supernatural powers inference help me to get an idea of where thing a are going in a book, but not here! I do not possess the background knowledge with which to properly apply my inferring skills. So, I am rereading page 231 to process the scientific technicalities of spectroscopy and cold temps liquifying air for free on Mars.

Welp. So far, faced with the reality that, if stranded in Mars alone, I'd die from a serious lack of scientific knowledge. Thankfully the author has not left me wondering what the hell he (his character) is talking about. :) Also, there are dry funnies.

There was a nice forward in this novel about the history of the relationship between the Native Americans and the whites during the time this tale takes place.

I am already in love with the mystery of Karou. Conversations about essential and nonessential penises is icing.

I'm happy to immersed in this world again, but the 14 year old inner mono is getting a but monotonous. I hope she magically gets older soon.

Inconsistencies bug me, but maybe I'm wrong? Says ion this page "they had a TV now and satellite..." Sounds like they're talking about in Montana, but Charles already ha a TV, it's mentioned in Cry Wolf. What am I not getting?

Was worried about Charles--especially when Brother Wolf had to take over. Love the sex scene--just making everyone else wait while they made...amends. :)

Leslie hasn't even met Charles and Anna yet, but I'm already anxious. The first bit had my hear breaking for Charles and now I'm so worried that someone will make a wrong move in front of Brother Wolf. Ahh!! Getting back to it.

I have been inching my way through this one...because the end is too near. That said, I have cursing aloud and smirking and snorting. Well played Gabaldon, as usual. Loving. Slowly.

My book has more pages than GR says...couple hundred left and I've significantly slown down. Claire and Jamie are back in Scotland---Bree and Roger too, give or take a couple hundred years...and I'm getting to know William. I don't want it to end. Only one more book and then it's waiting again. Thank goodness I have to new show to fall back on...a girl can only reread so much!!

Page 98 of 1155 according to my book....Meeting William is interesting so far...and gives me hope that perhaps there will be more with him and Jamie...dare I hope Brianna and crew? Could there be stones again? I constantly wonder about Jamie being able to pass through the stones...I'd love to know what his impression of the "modern" world is..

Done!! 980 pages?? Try 1438! They must base that on the trade copies. Anyhoo..I am so surprised that Roger and Bree and the kiddos went back!! I really want to know more about how their return transpired... Hopeful in Echo which I'm starting right now...

This app says the book is 928 pages long...mine's a bit more actually...hmmm... Well. Loved the reuniting of B and J. Anxious now for all to be revealed with Roger and SB. That's one constant in these books....there is always something to be anxious about. I suppose that's why 1,000+ pages does to feel that long in reading.

Settling in again. It's been years since I last cracked these pages, but it's slowly coming back---although just enough that I still enjoy many things that did not root in my memory. I do enjoy Jocasta...

While I admit, it is somewhat dramatic of me to say so,.....Be still my heart.

Here on page 261 I am rife with anxiety....just around the bend now.

I know what's coming...and it's everything I am do not to skip ahead.

Never have I ever hated so much as I do Jonathan Randall. Can I curse on this? Cause I fu$&*•#g hate that man. Hats off to you Mrs. Gabaldon, this is my second time reading, and I knew it was coming, but still...my heart is beating in my chest, I have goosebumps and Jamie just turned the corner.

It is so easy to get caught up and I, again am becoming increasingly curious about European history... I'm glad my first read was so long ago that I remember some if the story, but am able to enjoy anew as well.
