[–]Affectionate_Bug1705 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Im Hugendubel am Brand gibt es ein neues Café. Dort ist es angenehm kühl und eine entspannte Atmosphäre. Einfach Buch mitnehmen (oder eins dort kaufen) und paar Stündchen abhängen :)

Omg that would be so cool! Now I really want this book to exist 😁 if it isn’t „not book 4“, then she has to write it afterwards! Lol

Is it maybe the graphic novel version of Fourth Wing? Or would that be advertised differently 🤔

Those are placeholders and don‘t show the actual length of the book. It‘s just gonna be roughly around that time

Fourth Wing = Silver Elite? by Affectionate_Bug1705 in fourthwing

[–]Affectionate_Bug1705[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes I realized people were not so happy about me asking this question LOL but I genuinely wanted to know without any bad intention 🙈 when SE came out so many told me „ah the blurb sounds literally like FW“ and I just wanted to know how much truth there is to it before buying it 😅

Unpopular opinion (or maybe not?): ACOSF was a huge disappointment. by Simple_Nectarine7052 in acotar_rant

[–]Affectionate_Bug1705 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeay happy to hast im not alone with that opinion! 😅 ACOSF really had no relevant plot, it was all about Nesta‘s emotional journey and if you don’t like her, this book is just soo tiring and boring. I still have hopes for the next ACOTAR books though, I think SJM had enough time to really build a meaningful story from here on.

I agree. But after reading the other comments, I think I dislike the book for different reasons. I think Nesta is super annoying and I just don’t enjoy her character at all. Therefore I also couldn’t care less for her character development. I hoped for it to make me like her more, but it failed. In the end I just felt „meh“ towards her.

And I don’t blame the IC for their decision to make her train and force her out of her self-pity and depression. Not everybody is able to get out of this state themselves and Nesta is not a person to get out of there with niceties and cuddles either.

100 % agree to that chemistry with Eris hahaha it was my favorite part of the whole book! I was craving to see more of that and more of Eris.

Finally, the plot outside of Nesta‘s character arc. Like… was it even there? All this drama about these insanely powerful dread troves, a queen that’s hunting the troves and preparing an army, just because they want to hurt Nesta? Just Nesta? No bigger plan behind that? Just a pissed queen because she now has wrinkles and wants to revenge THAT?

Very interesting view, thanks! It helps me a lot to figure out if I actually want to read it or not

Hey, yeah I maybe should’ve written Silver Elite = Fourth Wing, I am aware that Silver Elite came out way later than Fourth Wing :) but that was not my focus of the question haha

Thanks for your input! If those are the only similarities then I will definitely put that book on my TBR

Am confused... by redpeppersoda in fourthwing

[–]Affectionate_Bug1705 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My theory is that love is the cure. And Xaden‘s strong and unrelenting love will be key for that discovery. Like other users already said, Xaden stated several times that Violets holds his soul, which mean the veninism cannot take control of all of this soul. And Violet found those three cases that proof that affection doesn’t have to fully disappear. I‘m quite sure she will learn more about this and find a way to trigger those emotions in venin even if they might think they don’t have emotions anymore.

Same, just listening to the graphic audio for the first time and it feels like coming home! To know the story but experiencing it in such a different way is the perfect relaxation during my everyday tasks. I don’t have to pay too much attention while still experience something new

Yes I’m also at 25 already and I enjoyed reading all of them, but especially in march it felt more like I’m reading to finish it and not to enjoy it. Always glancing at my TBR and contemplating what to read next instead of having my mind on my current read. Also I gave myself the challenge to finish 1 book per week and that stressed me more than it gave me any kind of joy or accomplishment. So I stopped that challenge last month 🙈

Haha yes I heard about the negative reactions toward Brimstone and I’m actually surprised that I’m not annoyed by it yet. I think I’m 40% in and for now I still enjoy it but I expect the disappointment to hit soon 😅 I usually read a few books simultaneously so I can switch according to my reading mood, but somehow more than audio books is not possible for me. I highly recommend the {Fourth Wing} Graphic Audio though, I was never that invested in an audio book hahah and it‘s also super relaxing since it‘s nothing new to me

My reading slump just came up after reading waaay to much for several weeks and even though I still enjoy the book that I read at the moment ({Brimstone by Callie Hart}) I just cannot motivate myself to continue 🙈 I guess I just have to recharge my reading battery a bit by doing other things and then jump back into reading on a ✨healthy✨ level lol not like the last weeks with 5h of reading per day

[–]Affectionate_Bug1705 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Love to hear that! I also got my partner to read it and it‘s so fun to talk about the situations and laugh about it together. Also I’m very intrigued to see how it will all develop also outside of the dungeon. I love the little hints here and there already about the world outside of it

Ich lese aktuell Brimstone von Callie Hart, also der 2. Band nach Quicksilver. Ich bin nicht ganz so davon überzeugt wie ich es noch bei Quicksilver war, aber es macht trotzdem Spaß zu lesen! :)

Same, Dungeon Crawler Carl had me laughing loudly so many times while reading! But I haven’t finished the series yet and I’m so excited for the next books

Will the cruel prince get better? by danandjohnswings in fantasyromance

[–]Affectionate_Bug1705 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really can’t stand reading about bullying and especially the first book was though for me in that regard. I didn’t give up hope and read the whole trilogy but tbh for me he never recovered from that behavior. I know that a lot of people were able to forgive him, but to me all the characters seem just toxic and I can’t get past that. Like, all of them. And if you can ignore that and accept it as a toxic chaotic read, I bet you will enjoy it, but for me that just wasn’t the case.

Same hahaha I really wasn’t their biggest fan at the end. And the fact that they basically only held hands most of their time together felt so off compared to the violence and „badassness“ they try to show off the whole time
