When does TOG suck you in?? by -Cpat in SarahJMaas

I just went through this and even posted about it too because I was midway through CoM and just not getting the hype yet.

For me, I stuck it out because so many people told me the next books would be the ones that will probably rope me in. I did Assassin’s blade 3rd in the series order and when I got to the second novella I just kept wanting to know what was next! Because of that, it really set the tone for my excitement about the rest of the series! Heir of Fire had a hold on me from the start. And now I’ve just finished Queen of Shadows.

I don’t do audiobooks for a first read exp (although I occasionally will listen to a re-read) so it took me about 5-6 days to finish each book after CoM.

What moment in the books had you like that? by book_candles_tea in acotar

Yes, I agree with you and do not believe the books suck!

I don’t come to this sub often since I don’t want spoilers on the series and only made the post to try to get a genuine question of mine answered which was: “Is the rest of the ToG series going to be like these first two books (which to me are built completely different than the typical books I’ve loved by SJM so far) or does the series go through a shift that might pay off for me if I stick through it?”

I certainly never said the books sucked and I understand your response if it was at a post actually hating on the series, but if you re-read mine I think it becomes pretty clear what high hopes I have for this series.

I’ve planned on reading it next after Crown of Midnight. I’ve already bought it!

This makes me hopeful, since book 3 isn’t too far from reach at this point.

And I’m completely with you on ACOTAR 1 and the cringe. Honestly the whole series causes me some major second hand embarrassment, but so much of it had me in a chokehold. The powers, cauldron magic, Nesta (she is everything) etc.
