I read 2 books this week. First I finally finished my reread of Six of Crows. I still enjoyed it the second time around. I didn’t remember a lot of what happened so it was like I was reading it for the first time. Then I finished reading Heir of Doom yesterday and I really enjoyed this one as well. It took a while for me to fully get into it but the last half of the book makes up for it.
I just finished Heir of Doom yesterday so I haven’t started another book yet. The Romanceopolyathon starts today though so I will be starting another book soon.
I plan on reading these 3 books for the Romanceopolyathon this week. Hopefully I can get through all of these in a week but we shall see.
Credit as always to The Book Date. Have you read any of the books I mentioned? What did you think of them if you have? What have you been reading lately? What are your reading plans for the week?
I’ve read none of those! 😂 Six of Crows is high on my TBR though and I’m hoping to start it next month! I’m currently reading ACOWAR for the second time, and Holy Sister.

I recently read ACOTAR and I definitely want to continue on with the series but I’m a little nervous about it because I have a feeling something going to happen that I’m not going to like.

Personally, ACOTAR is the weakest. Honestly, they get so much better!! The second, A Court of Mist and Fury is my favourite. ❤️

I loved ACOTAR I just feel like something is going to happen between some characters that I don’t want to happen which is why I’m nervous about it.

Ah, I get that. It’s not nice when you get this foreboding sense that an author may be about to move in a direction you don’t want them to. Maas is a master at writing characters in my opinion, they’ve all got so many sides to them and I love them all – and I guess that includes the villains but not in the sense that like them, just you’ve got to have a good villain to the story to hate! 😂 Hopefully you continue to love the books if and when you pick up the next 😀 I’d be interested in your thoughts! I read them all the first time in the space if a week 😂 I was completely absorbed!

ACOTAR was my first Sarah J. Maas book. I definitely plan to continue it I just have those books yet. Since I own the first one I want to own the rest of them as well. I loved Tamlin in ACOTAR and hated Rhysand which I know is an unpopular opinion.

Lips are sealed regarding it all as I don’t want to spoiler anything! 😂 But I recommend the Throne of Glass series too by her. The first book is really weak in my opinion, not like how I feel about ACOTAR (as I thought that was amazing, but it just didn’t compare to the others), but book two got me hooked! Admittedly I need to finish them still… 😂 I haven’t read Tower of Dawn or Kingdom of Ash – I need to reread or find a recap as it’d been a while between books for me – but I hear good things about them, so I’m hopefully it has a good end 😀

I don’t own any of the others after Scarlet so I will need to get the rest of the series before I’m able to continue with it. I am hoping to read Crooked Kingdom this month sometime as well.

I just finished doing my reread of Six of Crows the other week, and I think I enjoyed it more this time around, I think it’s because I have a better understanding of the world now that I’ve read The Grisha Trilogy.

Same here. I read Six of Crows years ago and then for some reason never continued with Crooked Kingdom so I’m hoping to get to it later this month.

I never continued because I felt like I had missed so much not reading The Grisha Trilogy, so I waiting until I read those books first.

I hadn’t fully understood the full scope of the magic system, and I now realize the suttle references and jokes that were made throughout SOC that I never picked up on.
LikeLiked by 1 person
Oh yeah I caught on to the references as well but I didn’t feel like not knowing that kept me from enjoying the story and understanding it the first time but I agree that knowing those things enhances the experience.

For me it’s something I didn’t realize until my second time around. I ‘m glad you enjoyed it regardless, and I hope you enjoy Crooked Kingdom as well.

I enjoyed SoC but to me it’s a little to over hyped. I’m planning on hopefully starting Crooked Kingdom today.

I think I have it 4 stars so I did still really enjoy it I guess my expectation were so high because of all the hype that it was a slight let down which is why I say it was way over hyped.
