The Ninth Circle

Post by Amagine »

The Ninth Circle appears to focus on Arthur, a character a lot of us wanted to know more about.

Have you read it (or currently reading it)? What's your opinion on the book?

What answers do you hope will be revealed about Arthur?

I haven't read it yet, but I just downloaded it ready for when I finish Raven's Peak (which should be today!)

I'd be very interested in knowing more about how he rescued Abigail and what led to her being responsible for him being locked away.

I've read a coupe of pages and it seems really interesting! I'm glad that Arthur gets his own book. It gives us a chance to really explore his character and the choices he made.

Has anyone finished reading it yet? I had some questions answered but there were still a couple that weren't. I think it's probably best that way though. Things can be left open for a reader's own interpretation. Also, I like characters who have a twinge of mystery to them.

I read it and loved it. It was different from the normal books and brought a different view of the world, and I can't wait to see more about that time in the world.

I agree! There are also a few other characters who the author could focus on as well. It really is an interesting world that he's crafting.

I would have to agree with some others that I am mostly curious as to how he was locked away. There is some incredible remorse and guilt happening in Raven's Peak. I am reading Ninth Circle now, and think I see what happened, but am not sure yet.

Yes, there was a lot of remorse and guilt that Arthur felt. I wish the story had been longer. I wanted to really get into his emotions and past.

I just finished reading it, and I'm going to admit that I was a bit disappointed. I thought we were going to get more information about Arthur's family and what really happened, and I don't know, I just wanted more. What tricked me was that in less than 50% of my Kindle, the book was done. I literally had to pause and read the last page again. I did like that we learned a little about Arthur's connection to Abigail, but again, I wanted more.

In general, for me, Part 1 had too much fighting rather than character building and Part 2 ended too quickly. Oh well. At least I gave it a read.

I read it and although the story of how Arthur met Abigail was interesting, the copy editing was awful. There was a proofing error on just about every page; I was pretty disappointed.

I think maybe that's one of the biggest reasons why the Circle extremely forbids Abigail to rescue his father. I really enjoyed reading this book and I want to read it again and the series of course! It's tingling to think about maybe in the real world there are organizations that control the world and make ordinary people their Guinea pig.
