I was not a fan of Aelin‘s character arc in this one (no spoilers) I just felt the book could go for shock factor without her STILL not sharing information. I liked Lorcan‘s and Lysandra‘s arcs! Overall one of the better books in the series. —- Book 19 of my 25 in 2025 I need a break from this series to digest. So I think I‘ll do a few mysteries next.

So my Litsy friends. Which one should I start with, which should I skip?
#fantasy #romantasy #looselyfantasy #advice #whatnext

staci.reads Circe is incredible if you're in the mood for a feminist myth retelling. House in the Cerulean Sea is so endearing and hits the heart if that's more your mood right now. Bith 5 star books for me but completely different experiences. 3d

Besides the overkill exposition and similarity in the CaIaena/Chaol and Aelin/Rowan dynamics, I liked this book better than the second book. I think the flipping between characters AND locations is what made this book more dynamic than the first two.

Feeling that this 3rd book is recycling tropes from the first book. Brooding person to help “train” her. A test. She has to prove herself. Plus after 2 full books, I can say that there seems to be too much exposition in these books. A lot of telling vs showing.

Book 2 is underway. I am enjoying this more than the Crescent City series but not as much as #acotar yet.

Here we go again… another Sarah J. Maas series to get hooked on.

CrowCAH I‘ll soon be reading this one with my older sister! We‘re starting the major romantasy hype books. Already we‘ve read ACOTAR and Fourth Wing. 3w
Andarna @CrowCAH nice! I read both of those series‘ and started the Crescent City series as well. I do t so much love too much romance but do enjoy all other aspects of these books. 2w
CrowCAH @Andarna from what I‘ve read so far, it seems more on the world building and adventure, than romance. But I‘m certainly glad the romance is added. 2w
slategreyskies @CrowCAH I‘m curious as to which romantasy books made your TBR list. I‘m reading the second book in Fourth Wing now. Throne of Glass is on my list as well. 1w
CrowCAH @slategreyskies I‘m listening to Iron Flame now too! ACOTAR, I listened to book one. I added A Fate Inked in Blood. Currently reading The Ever King 🏴‍☠️. 1w

Am I going to love this #hollyblack series? Chapter 2 of the first book and so far it‘s pretty good. I am worried that reading something with a similar cast of species (fae) so soon after Court of Thorn and Roses is going to confuse them in my mind.

Just can‘t get into this like I did Wicked. Something is just not hitting the same. Has anyone felt the same? Read the others? Maybe I skip this one and go to the next?

Taking a fantasy break to read this Walmart find. Ashley Flowers (Crime Junkie & “All Good People Here”) gave it a back of the book review so here‘s hoping I love it!

“My crown was crafted of silver and diamond, all fashioned into swirls of stars and various phases of the moon. Its arching apex held aloft a crescent moon of solid diamond, flanked by two exploding stars. And with the glittering dress from Starfall”

It was a pretty good mystery with an interesting back and forth between 1982/2017.

I really really liked this one more than the first. I actually like that they showed how the character arc for Tamlin went. I like that Feyre has become more badass.

And so I have begun the ACOTAR series I keep being told about. Am I going to like it?

#acotar #fantasy #romantasy

Elizabeth2 I enjoyed it! My daughter just started reading the series a little over a week ago, and she‘s flying through it. Only the last book to read. She turned to this series after reading the Empyrian series. I hope you enjoy! 2mo
Andarna @Elizabeth2 I really didn‘t want to like it. Usually when anything is “popular” I avoid it (books,shows,musicians). Darn it. I like it. 2mo
Elizabeth2 @Andarna 😂 I get it. 2mo

Just finished Fragile Threads of Power and loved this continuation but was not overly enthralled by the White London story line.

Half way through book 3 for the year. This is a re-read of WICKED. I read the original in 2001, before the musical and well before the movie based on the musical that was based on the book. I shall be adding the other books in this series to my reading list.

Blueberry I liked the book so much I didn't know if the movie would ruin it for me. I did not like the play. 3mo
Andarna Agreed except I liked the play ok but not the movie. 2mo

Loved the Darker Shades series and excited to start Fragile Threads of Power for book 2 of 2025 on my challenge to read more fiction. Maybe I should have gotten the cover that matches the others better 🤔

Probably my favourite exchange in the whole book. Made me laugh out loud.

“She makes a good point,” Andarna agrees. “Can you carry a luminary?”
“That question insults me.”
“Can you carry a luminary while insulted?” she prods.
Tairn growls.
