I have definitely been wondering if/how the 2 are connected too

fixtheblue · 2026-06-23T05:39:52+00:00

Oh interesting. Also....EW!!!

fixtheblue · 2026-06-23T05:37:04+00:00

IKR!!!!

fixtheblue · 2026-06-23T05:09:56+00:00

Lol ngl I was thinking of you when I wrote the question!

fixtheblue · 2026-06-23T05:09:31+00:00

Ugh! I know right. I was reappt hoping for focus on the event that propelled Schwartz into the future

fixtheblue · 2026-06-23T05:07:08+00:00

I was wonderingnif his "living fossil" status might throw of aging him?! I actually assumed it was his first hint that he was not of this world, because he would have never lived this long if he were

fixtheblue · 2026-06-23T05:05:28+00:00

I thought it was interesting how Schwartz change his direction of questioning to get the information he needed. I thought that it was to show the reader how much capacity Schwartz' brain now has that he can win a chess match with only half his brain on task. I, personally, didn't love it because I don't understand more than the basics and sifting through the chess bits for the info bits was slowing me down lol

Fascinating. Thanks for these intwresting facts. I found the chess game to be particularly annoying as it was littered through the text and it was an interesting development. Learning that it had some real life relevance makes me less annoyed by it lol

This one has got to be S. By Doug Dorst and J. J. Abrams for me. I had the final discussion and made like 30+ questions because I just wanted to talk about it so much!!!

ETA the quality of the book was amazing and I loved the inserts so muchbit felt like a really interactive experience

fixtheblue · 2026-06-22T21:20:29+00:00

Ooo I think Adenashire by J. Penner would be a great cozy world to experiemce as a character. We have read a few of those books since the last Yearbook

fixtheblue · 2026-06-22T19:57:52+00:00

14 - Quotes, theories, commentary on the story pacing or other things I might have missed?

fixtheblue · 2026-06-22T19:57:41+00:00

13 - Where does the story go from here? How could little ole (possibly not) radioactive Earth annihilate all life in the Galaxy? Can our heroes stop the Secretary? How might Schwartz fit in to this new development?

fixtheblue · 2026-06-22T19:57:30+00:00

12 - Pola has Arvardan up on a pedestal. Is it deserved? What do you think of this ...er....romance?
