Sorry I've read the book before it was nominated...>

Ohh...almost forgot, the books we should name must be by a certain author? I mean from the list we've already voted on? If so, would you tell me who the author is? Thanks dear...^^""

The first post only says: "Free choice TBD" ??

not very far really, kindle say only 10% of the book, but to my defence i have little time to read lately xp

I'm still hoping to catch up on the weekend though!!

by the way, can i say that cover is misleading? I though our protagonist would be just out of his teen, then i read he is 30 or so and of check the cover out again. That face and those arm can't belong to the same body!!! XDXDXD

don't worry at that time i read around 40 pages i think... I posted thinking i could discuss how we can guess the story goes but like Ryuu_L said they were predictable so i left it at that.....i wonder if we can discuss this one like YO book club's first book... Take your time just dont forget to tag us so we can talk.....we were probably waiting for a book to discuss that when the book chosen we finished it before we remember "oh we gotta dicuss about book"...

i am guessing there's no specific author or type. you can choose the book you most want to discuss or you need to read...well Racheal will get to us so there's that

if you liked this book then i would suggest to try "High king's golden tongue"...its my first book from her... Interesting supernatural

story..

i would like a spin off too...want to know how she would take that story of wharf, kid and husband, it would be fairy tale of another kind... I guess its ok to mention them since they dont impact story much but leaning on side of caution i am mentioning it in spoiler too

that's the talent isn't it....even if we know how it goes we want to know how the author takes it....hmmm maybe its just us bookworms who can't help little details...

i like that quality about that book the natural equality.....it indeed feels like fairy tale now thinking about it...it really is a different world..

 

Good day all....have a great weekend

I’ll add that to my list right away! I rarely read that type of fantasy book but I think that was sorta like on my top 5 from the previous list.

 

 

I feel like we’re going to talk most of the time using spoilers. Hahaha!

I feel like Wharf is a huge man, physically and you-know-what-I-mean so I’m wondering if he ended up with a younger leaner husband or the muscly type but not the same body build as him.

Ah this was what I was going to address in my post about the book later this month. I actually think this is one of Megan's weakest books. I like almost all of her other novels better. There are some that the main characters don't have chemistry (Kria series) and some where the world is completely gender fluid (all of the high king's golden tongue series), but I still like those better. I think Tournament of Losers is one of her most shallow books. Very surface level. However, I definitely like that sometimes and I enjoyed rereading it. Earlier this year, Megan republished Embrace and that one was very interesting so I was kind of hoping it would be picked if I had to reread one of her books. I'm looking forward to next month's book!!

i have to agree with you here...It' s not that I didn' t loke it, i just think she has better books.Kria for example.

Maybe it' s just because I didn' t love Rath as much as I wanted to...

Well, if it’s going to have a sequel or spin-off, I’m kinda hoping for a spoiled younger duke. Spoiled at first then, you know, he’ll learn how to be more “responsible” with the help of Wharf. A bit of angst to. Hahahah love the angst.

Hi, finally I'm able to finish this book!

This is my first Megan Derr book, so I don't really know her style of writing.

(we are on the 3rd weeks so I'm. Not going to put anything on spoiler)

 

I know it's a fantasy, but I'm a bit lost at first to imagine this world of gender equality and race, while it's nice, I just like some kind of description /explanation of what kind of world their live in.

And it's seems the male also can get pregnant right? And female can impregnated other male/female too?

 

 

And like everyone has mentioned, you can guess the ending from early on and there is no real twist or surprises until the end.

 

Well it's still a good read, it's still engaging even with the predictable ending.

 

Im won't said I don't like it, I guess it's just not my cup of tea

Weeeel i know i said i would finish it on the weekend... but i got sidetracked and read 2 other instead! Oooops..

I did get forward a little, i'm around 50% and let me say

 

rath reaction when he "won" the first trial by getting mad and shouting at the judge was priceless! Xdxd

I think i really like rath, and i really want to help him dump his father in the harbor!

I finished it! Yeees! Well, maybe I'd done it earlier but I decided to start with Wriggle & Sparkle (and it was freaking amazing XD). Megan Derr is a new author for me.

And you know, these two books are completely different. I mean, when W&S is your normal (in a good way!) shifters-fantasy-modern-story (with it's own quirks that I absolutely adore XD), ToL is pretty simple a fairy-tale. For adults but nevertheless ;D. You don't have enough information about the world, just some tips here and there, and the plot is simple as it could be. In the end there was no intrigue. At. All. But I can't say that it was a disappointment. The story was nice, and I think it has enough of this fairy-tale-ish touch so you know while reading that there will be no big surprises. You just read and have a good time. And feel happy for Rath in the end.

 

PS. Just an example for my words about "not enough information about the world"..

 

"Prince Harrow is pregnant"

Weeell, thank you, Megan Derr, for this little titbit. That made me reeeally curious about Warf, his three children and his future noble husband XD

, w-what? M-preg? This book has M-preg?! I-uhh haven't read this book and I know Megan Derr also writes M-preg, but but but I thought there's no M-preg in this book?! Excuse me, can anyone clarify this M-Preg theme before I dive into this book? Please?

technically, there is no m-preg. Just some tips that it's possible (even normal - see the spoiler from my post before yours ;))

thank you! I was staying away from all the spoilers but then Jochie said about "M-Preg" so I needed clarification because I'm not a fan.. .

 

Aah. So it's that way. Of course Megan Derr would include this in her fantasy book.

 

Uhhh, the only M-Preg fiction I have tried to read was "Kashikomarimashita" manga and I failed to finish it ORZ

 

But since it's only one sentence in this book, I think I can read ToL, then!
