14- Elantris: Chapters 47-50
We're actually going to end it at this point- the main characters refuse to communicate and the 'first book syndrome' is reallyyyyyy starting to get to some of us. We're excited about the potential as things pick up, and that's about it!

13- Elantris: Chapters 44-46
We're getting closer and closer to what feels like the end! This might not be everyone's favorite book, but they're loving the character growth and ridiculing the *lack* of character growth for a few other people.

Holy moly we're back with more witty one-liners, too many jokes about how awful AJR can be, and a lot of thoughts on today's chapters. Stuff is happening, and our heroes are as annoying as ever!
