@Sumel: I haven’t read the Midnighters before but they sound interesting. Hope you managed to find Going Bovine.

@Ida: Thanks for the re-enactment of the scenes with Kartik! It’s just too bad he had to sacrifice himself.

@Paige: That’s inspiring, Paige! About moving on.

I think the final page (starts with “When I dream, I dream of him”) all the way until the final sentence of the book was the perfect ending. Of course, I wasn’t happy that Kartik died, but I think that Gemma has to move on. Sort of like Titanic. He was like her soulmate, but she still has to live.

Honestly, the most striking part in the book was the final battle in the Winterlands. I cried for almost a day on and off when I read Kartik sacrificed himself; their last kiss was honestly so beautiful. Hahaha I probably sound like a freak but reading that book like wow, their love is just something way too pure for me to explain. When his back arched and he became part of the tree I was bawling for hours it was just so sad. Then when she went to visit him ohhhh gosh. Plus the little “vision” she had (not even that just a sight) of Kartik on the other end of the water waving, drawing the symbol (I’m tearing up even now) was just wayyyy to much for me to handle the ending really impacted me and Kartik better come back. Cause I agree with a post up there, I pretty much fell in love with Kartik as well.

I’m going to try to find this book and see what is it about. Right now I’m a little bit buzy reading other three books-,”MIDNIGHTERS”. I’m in the third one right now. those books are really good but Libbas are great. thanks for the info about that book(*u*).

Haha! My mom would chide me at times too if I spent too much time reading.

Anyway, I heard that there’s a new book by Bray, called Going Bovine?

I find Ann not a very outstanding character so I didn’t feel anything when she was leaving. Felicity was much more exciting.

Well … I hope she could write more about it but it could loss its charm. but she could write some thing more, but like that… I love it. I recomend this books and others to my friends and they…. just… couldn’t understand why was I so into it. Cuz they catch me once reading it and I was crying. cuz Ann was leaving.So they start reading them. Iread this books on September last year it took me like three days to rea the 1st one and the second like 4. my mom was also mad at me because I was reading to much.(^^,)
