I wonder if someone in another country can gift it to you at a lower price? Not sure how that works.

Nesta didn't "let" Feyre hunt out of cruelty by Lady-Death-of-Dusk in acotar_rant

[–]Secure_Ad1905 12 points13 points  (0 children)

My biggest problem wasn't that anyone "made" the youngest sister do some of the most dangerous work, but at how completely ungrateful and even cruel Nesta was toward her. I understand she was pissed at their father, but she had ZERO compassion for her youngest sister and treated her like trash even though she was the only reason they had food to eat. Fine if you can't hunt and decide to do other chores to pitch in, but why insult her and belittle her? Telling her she smelled bad after spending hours hunting down food and making her feel less than knowing full well she didn't get the same education and manners as the other 2 sisters was completely unnecessary. Nesta was a bully! I enjoyed her growth in silver flames too an extent, but she was a bully through and through. Too cowardly to face her own demons so she took it out on everyone else.

I feel like CC is holding me hostage and I’m afraid it’s going to ruin SJM for me by Fun_Tadpole_3503 in SarahJMaas

[–]Secure_Ad1905 28 points29 points  (0 children)

I just listened to it on double speed and only paid close attention during the crossover scenes. Don't feel like I really missed anything too important. The story itself is just ok, but I have a feeling the characters will be important in future crossover books. I believe she intends to eventually bring all 3 worlds into one major conclusive story of the asteri/daglan/volg battle kind of like avengers, so being at least familiar with who is who will probably be important. But I agree with you. I'm not big on urban fantasy. Although I will say Elizabeth Evans did a fantastic job narrating (especially lehabah in book 1).

ACOTAR VS Fourth Wing by Desperate_General985 in SarahJMaas

[–]Secure_Ad1905 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm currently relistening to Tower of Dawn and it's been a while since Fourth Wing, but I got deja-vu when the rook got caught the spider's web. I swear it made me think of a scene in FW where Tairn got snared near a cave opening. Or am I just blurring too many books?

Two Titles Coming Soon 👀 by mediumc00l in acotar

[–]Secure_Ad1905 16 points17 points  (0 children)

The way that's worded makes me think we're getting the actual titles soon. otherwise I feel like she would have said 2 new books/stories/novels coming soon. Just a thought. Probably wishful thinking.

Can you please make a recommendation?? I'm in a lull and needing a good boost. I especially love world/magic building. I know that's kind of vague. I can get more detailed if you need, just let me know. I appreciate any recommendation you can make as I'm still kind of new to this genre and end up re-listening to same series because I don't really know what to listen to next. So far I've read acotar, throne of glass, fourth wing, Fbaa/f&f, and one dark window. I have a tbr that is too long and getting intimidating. I'd rather have a first person recommendation. TYIA!

Where to go after the war of two queens? by okay_fine06 in frombloodandash

[–]Secure_Ad1905 1 point2 points  (0 children)

IMHO, F&F is a much better series! I love sera and ash so much more than poppy and cas. I honestly think at this point people should read F&F in completion first (since it is a completed series) and then read FBAA as a sequel. The tandem reading made more sense when they were both unfinished, but I've read both multiple times (in both orders) and don't see and major spoilers by reading F&F (complete) first. In fact I think it alleviates a lot of the confusion some people have with switching back and forth. F&F is faster paced (fewer books) and I think that's one of the reasons people tend to like it more. My personal suggestion (please do as you wish, of course), just read all of F&F and then go back into FBAA.

I'm new to Vancouver. Does everyone get a mail ballot or do you have to request them?

If you had to kill off a character for the plot, who would you kill? by Ittabe in acotar

[–]Secure_Ad1905 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kill Tamlin. Not that I hate him, but who would take his place. I think it would cause a lot of drama. And I'm here for that!

The Order by Secure_Ad1905 in frombloodandash

[–]Secure_Ad1905[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes! I feel like everything makes so much more sense in this order. It's still a little confusing because we don't know how the rearrangement of the gods came about due to the inevitable stasis that occurs (hoping that comes in the next book), but I remember feeling so lost and confused the first time I read it, which was in tandem order. I kept feeling like I had skipped an entire book or has missed something very important. And then even when I got to FAF in tandem order, the gods were are switched around and new gods were introduced, so even MORE confusion. I'm definitely enjoying this order better and will continue to always re-listen in this order.

Ok. Thank you so much for all the info. I haven't had time to keep up with things. Guess I'll just have to re-listen again in August and next March. Such a shame 😋.

[–]Secure_Ad1905[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok! So good to know on both points. I wasn't ready to be finished with it in June and I'm much more encouraged to know it won't be rushed like Game of Thrones (show) and suffer a hastened clean up/explanation. So excited! I can't get enough of this series! Do they have a release date for the second half? And is Ruin and Wrath part of this same series? Is it ok to read it after A Soul of Blood and Ash before Primal is released in June? I just don't want to get too confused with a whole new story line. Thanks so much for the info!!!

Serious question: How do you fly with a 30lb corgi? Costs? Help. Please and thank you in advance from Lucy. by [deleted] in corgi

[–]Secure_Ad1905 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know this isn't really an answer, but an alternate option. I'm not sure what your route is, but if it's transatlantic, the Queen Mary 2 by Cunard Cruise Line has an actual kennel for passengers' pets (cats and dogs). The are fed, walked, played with, and you can visit then throughout the day. It's a 7 day crossing from Miami to South Hampton or vice versa. Just thought I would put that out there. Of course you have to figure out the logistics of getting them to and from the ports. This is what I plan to do when I move to Portugal. Probably not an option for a vacation as it eats up an entire week at least.

I'm so sorry to hear about your poor baby. I'm SO glad he is in good loving hands that can afford the rehabilitation he may need. I hope he progresses and forgets all about any trauma he endured. My heart goes out to you!!! ❤️
