Series
Fantasy series I read this year so far, some I liked some I didn’t. Just keeping my opinions real, if I didn’t like your fave it doesn’t mean its bad. We just have different taste in books.
🌟3.5/5
Started the year with this one. Love the fast paced world building, but its not a 5/5 since it didn’t blow me away. I did enjoy it though
A Court of Thorns and Roses
🌟4/5
This one I loved since it had more humor to it, I laughed so hard with the angry/playful exchanges between the MMC and FMC.
A Court of Mist and Fury (B&N Exclusive Night Court Edition) (A Court of Thorns and Roses Series #2)
🌟4/5
Loved the more profound themes we got to experience here, family bonds, war, no longer just another romance novel.
A Court of Wings and Ruin (B&N Exclusive Night Court Edition) (A Court of Thorns and Roses Series #3)
🌟 3/5
I really didn’t enjoy it as much, I liked getting to experience the aftermath of a big world-changing event but to me it was kind of meh
A Court of Frost and Starlight (B&N Exclusive Night Court Edition) (A Court of Thorns and Roses Series)
🌟2/5
Finished this one to finish it, I really don’t like Nesta. Even though I can empathize with her feelings, and made me cry a few times I still don’t like her and rather read something else.
A Court of Silver Flames (B&N Exclusive Night Court Edition) (A Court of Thorns and Roses Series #5)
🌟2.5/5
I wont even take the time to review each one, I really didn’t like this series only read it for the crossovers and was disappointed to read which characters participated in the crossover. MMC and FMC 😒 Should had made them LGBT fr he has mor...
Crescent City Hardcover Box Set
🌟2/5
Hated Celeana the whole time, loved Dorian and Chaol. Finished it because I had FAITH it would get better.
Throne of Glass (Throne of Glass Series #1)
🌟3/5
Mixed feelings with this one, hated the FMC. Read it first, didn’t like it at the time but after finishing the series I was glad I read it so I could understand many events better.
The Assassin's Blade: The Throne of Glass Novellas
🌟2.5/5
Still didn’t like FMC, loved Dorian, loved Chaol. Didn’t care about Nehemia tbh, kept having FAITH I was just building context to understand more interesting events.
Crown of Midnight (Throne of Glass Series #2)
🌟3.5/5
Started liking Celeana here a bit when I was not frustrated by her. Loved the support team she earned overseas, we were prepping for the good stuff. First time I thought maybe this series will be worth it
Heir of Fire (Throne of Glass Series #3)
🌟4.5/5
Now we are getting the good stuff, couldn’t put this down finished it in 36 hours. Just great, emotional rollercoaster
Queen of Shadows (Throne of Glass Series #4)
🌟5/5
I would pay ANYTHING to get to experience this for the first time again. The ANXIETY i got from this one, did the tandem read still finished both books in 2 days.
Empire of Storms (Throne of Glass Series #5)
🌟4/5
Loved this whole other perspective, to experience a different territory and Nesryn’s story, lost family reunited, loved it. The part I least enjoyed was anything Chaol related though I almost skipped it.
Tower of Dawn (Throne of Glass Series #6)
🌟10000/5
The emotions I got to experience in this book were beyond any expectations I could’ve had. I hope to meet these characters again.
Kingdom of Ash (Throne of Glass Series #7)
🌟3.5/5
FMC is ok but mostly read for the dragon bonding arc. I like the war setting too
Fourth Wing
🌟4/5
I love the searching for answers, and overall the storyline. Dont like the romantic intensity though. Im a sucker for touch her and die vibes but too much corny will make me cringe.
Onyx Storm
🌟3/5
Read to know the ending, will be reading the following books for the same reason. I liked the war scenes and dragon bonds, dragon storylines. Didn’t like the FMC and MMC dynamic.
Iron Flame (Wing and Claw Collection)
🌟4/5
Really enjoyed this one, it was really different to what I was getting used to. Recommend if you are willing to experience normal world with magic.
House of Salt and Sorrows: Deluxe Edition
🌟4.5/5
Such a good sequel following a different FMC. I really enjoyed this one too, gave me anxiety many times but to me those are the best stories.
House of Roots and Ruin
🌟2/5
Wont even take the time to review each one, hate and i mean HATE the FMC. She’s insufferable, I need you to understand I read books this long in a day, Ive been reading the third book for more than a month and can’t get myself to finish it. Tha...
The Lightlark Saga: The Ultimate Box Set (Lightlark Saga Books 1-3)
4/5 🌟 loved this one! A much much different world, different fae perspective and romance feels like a secondary theme which I love!
Throne of the Fallen (Prince of Sin Series #1)
3/5 🌟
I like the world building, clearly enemies to lovers trope. Did enjoy it but it’s not a favorite, I feel that some scenes took way too many pages for no reason, and some important scenes were way less detailed.
The Cruel Prince (Folk of the Air Series #1)
2.5/5 🌟
The tension between MMC and FMC was great, I love the longing between them but for me here that was the only thing I enjoyed. All the rest was like meh, the cliffhanger at the end left me furious. Okay book, not a favorite
The Wicked King (Folk of the Air Series #2)
3.5/5
Hated the first 6 chapters, impossible to get my head around FMC not figuring out the riddle sooner like (?) i feel we all (readers) understood it as soon as we read it and she’s like SO smart. Makes no sense she figures it out at the end (?) i...
The Queen of Nothing (Folk of the Air Series #3)
4/5 🌟
This one I did enjoy because even though I do not condone Taryns actions, this novella is needed to understand shes a flawed human being and what her motivations were.
The Lost Sisters (Folk of the Air Novella)
3.4/5🌟
HMO, I love HP fanfics but I never finished the OG books. That being said I was SOOOO frustrated with Harry in this book that its beyond me. thats why it took me like 5 years to finish
Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (Harry Potter Series #5)
4/5
Loveee the character development on Ginny here, truly we FINALLY get a wider view of her personality which I love. Was still frustrated with Harry, but I understand him better because hes clearly GRIEVING while trying to save the world so just f...
Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (Harry Potter Series #6)
5/5 🌟
Masterpiece, loved it. Cried my eyes out with Kreacher, Dobby and Grawp. Great finale, really happy I read it
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (Harry Potter Series #7)
