Is there an option higher than 'pick'? There should be! This was an original, creative, shocking, emotional book and it gripped me tight and still hasn't let me go! The characters were BADASS!! Can't wait for the next one!!

Any thoughts on this?
I'm thinking about making it a part of the family and I've been reading Illuminae, so I think I'm a science fiction fan after all.

Throne of Glass | Sarah J. Maas

Mehso-so

I wanted to LOVE this series. I've heard the best, and yet when I read Throne of Glass, I was disappointed. In my opinion, the first 100 pages were dull and the characters shallow. I kept reading and eventually the plot revealed itself, the action started and Celaena's connection to the queen of old, as well as Chaol, intrigued me. The ending was thrilling and satisfying, but Crown of Midnight confirmed what I already knew: I'm just not a fan. 😢

ONE OF MY FAVOURITE NOVELS OF ALL TIME.
When I first heard about this, I thought fantasy standalones are rare. Usually I invest on series because I know that even if book 1 is mediocre the next might be AMAZING! (Cough cough ACOMAF) so to invest on a book that needs to do world building and character development successfully in just 500 pages... I wasn't sure. BUT I LOVED IT!! Agnieszka and Sarkan are forever in my heart. And so is this world.LOVE

AnneA.Rose @398.2 she does seem like a good person! Part of why I want to move away is to be able to meet my favorite authors! And the Red Queen series actually inspired me to write one of my own, so yes it's amazing! 😄 7y

AnneA.Rose @sprainedbrain Really? So I should read it? I was thinking of buying Six of Crows or a new fantasy novel instead... 7y
sprainedbrain @AnneA.Rose I really did... I also loved Six of Crows, but they are very different books. I still think of Seveneves when the moon is full. 😃 7y

Which #fantasy novel has your favorite portrayal of magic? (I'd say Uprooted, because it feels more realistic, but the Court of Dreams has a special place in my heart!)

Chachic I love Uprooted so much, but it would be hard to choose a book that I can say has my favorite portrayal of magic. So many good ones out there! 😊 7y
AnneA.Rose @Chachic I literally finished Uprooted today and I'm still in love with everything, especially the characters, like Agnieszka and Sarkan (and Kasia)! As for the magic, I really loved the Summoning and all it could do. Wish it had a sequel! 7y
Chachic I actually liked that it's a standalone because it's so hard to find great standalone fantasy novels. I wouldn't mind a companion novel set in the same world though! 7y

AnneA.Rose @Chachic You're not wrong they are hard to find! Good thing we found this one 😊 Fingers crossed for a companion novel! 7y
398.2 I liked Uprooted BUT I love Sarah Maas. I go crazy for her books. Lol 7y
AnneA.Rose @398.2 To be honest, I didn't really like Throne of Glass. But I love #Acotar and ADORE #acomaf so I agree with you! 7y

Re-watching the movie tonight!! (The 2005 version is in my opinion the best, the cinematography, the score, the portrayals leave me in awe every time.) Let me just take this opportunity to once again for the millionth time in my life blab about how truly selfless Darcy is. I believe he is the ultimate gentleman and I will forever love him.

OMG, so. I know not many people love #RedQueen, but this sequel is incredible. Though it did not take the path many expected, I found it to be nearly genius. It depicted the journey of someone who never thought they would be called to action, someone who slowly falls into cruelty and darkness, someone who lost a home and all they ever were and a devil, once in disguise, now in full power. I loved the subtle, human story it told. Amazing.

WordWaller This is a great picture!! I hated Red Queen so I decided not to continue the series but I'm glad you found it so good and redeemable!! 7y

#This was a #very #creepy read! (should have read it for Halloween) I #adored the #characters especially Mara, Noah and Daniel. The plot was unpredictable. I feel #like Mara's slow but steady deterioration into #madness was upsetting because she doubted #herself and I #think it's really #scary not knowing if you're sane or not. Did I mention I love Noah Shaw? All in all, a #great #read!

Bostonmomx2 I loooooved this one (and the next, the third...not AS much). Very different type of read for me but I love it. 7y

And #finally I finished #Ruby #Red!! The reason I picked so-so is because I #believe the #book to be slow-paced though I understand that's what needs to happen when you're #doing #major world-building. I found the protagonist to be likeable, the secrets behind her abilities shocking and her growing attachment with Gideon...understandable. I loved the twist in the end, though I saw it coming... All in all, great mythology and a compelling #novel!

Inferno: A Novel | Dan Brown

Mehso-so

#okay, so. #This #book was a solid, Dan Brown-like mystery. The usual #realistic tone, with the fictional details attached to #real #life places and #historical #events just #works. What I loved: the suggested solution to the world #overpopulation #problem. What threw #me #off: it was all fake? it wasn't? Wait, no it was? Does it #matter? Interesting: The #bad guys actually won. All in #all, a #good #read.

myers85 I wasn't a fan, mainly because as you said it was all fake. Also Langdon didn't actually accomplish anything. If he hadn't been involved the outcome would have been the same. Shame because I was really enjoying it till all the twists in the final third. 7y

#Thinking about the love between #Feyre and #Rhysand today. I firmly #believe that having a #mate is the highest form of #love all of us search for.

I think Sarah J Maas has created the perfect balance in love. Simply #amazing.

Oh my God, okay. Let me gather my thoughts. So. A lot has been said and written about this book. Opinions vary. And in part, I agree with both sides. Here's my experience: It took some time to get into it, mainly because it throws you in the middle of things. But that's okay. Once I adjusted, I LOVED THIS BOOK. I liked the protagonist, fell in love with Cal. The plot was enticing. The Maven twist, I saw coming. But it was nonetheless pleasing.

The exact #moment when #Ronan was being unmade. I was screaming something between "God no!" and "Nope. Nope. I refuse to believe this." I think the moment was made a thousand times better because Adam could not see what was happening. I think I was freaking out as much as he was.

JustTrish Omg me too. Right there with you! 7y
AnneA.Rose We can only hope for more Ronan -and Adam- in the new trilogy. So excited!! 7y
HeatherBookNerd I wish you'd put a spoiler alert on this. Because I'm not quite done with the book and now I'm sad to have info I should not have yet 😢 7y
AnneA.Rose @HeatherBookNerd Oh God I'm so sorry, I just thought enough time passed that everyone interested would have already read it. Sorry! But don't worry there's a lot more going on than what I mentioned and it's a great book, so I'm sure you'll enjoy it! 7y

#OMG This is sooo accurate. Honestly I loved Tamlin during A Court of Thorns and Roses and I wanted Feyre to be with him. I #loved the dynamic between the two of them and I loved Lucien too it was great!!! And then...#Acomaf happened. And OMG!! #Rhysand and Feyre are THE #BEST. And Tamlin...well, let's just say Rafiki has the right #idea.

josie281 I never loved Tamlin. I thought the book was so so. I decided to read the second book anyway and BOOM! So much better! 7y
AnneA.Rose I read a theory that has to do with the mask he wore. Like, being a good guy was 'his mask' and once he got rid of it he showed his true colors. And yes you are so right, book 2 was incredible! 7y
