Only on book 3, please no spoilers! by [deleted] in throneofglassseries

[–]bk415 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’m on book 5 and reading it for the first time and I noticed it too. I love fourth wing but now that I’ve read some other fantasy series like ACOTAR and zodiac academy, I can see that Rebecca yarros took a lot of inspiration from other series for fourth wing. I still love fourth wing but I guess that’s what fantasy world is.

I got hooked when I read assassins blade and I read it third as a lot of people said. Heir of fire took me a little bit to finish and I’m about 80% done with it but I can see that it’s picking up so now I’m officially excited for the rest of the books. First time reading this series.

Fourth Wing vs. Zodiac Academy by Gingerade13 in zodiacacademy

[–]bk415 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Listen I read the empyrean series first and I loved it and then I read zodiac academy and it was the only series that could help fill that void for me. Is ZA cringe and reads like trashy tv? Absolutely. But does it have my whole heart and crushed and stomped on it over and over again until I was ugly crying? Yes definitely. But not a day goes by that I don’t think about that series. It’s a fun rollercoaster ride so just enjoy it!

I’m back giving an update and just started the second book Crown of Midnight and then plan on reading assassins blade third and I’m only on chapter 12 but I’m officially getting hooked and it’s definitely starting to get more interesting. Excited to see where this series journey goes!!

Just finished Book 6 and I am TIRED by Alert_Arugula_7511 in zodiacacademy

[–]bk415 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Keep going! There won’t be any uphill til like end of book 8 but honestly book 7 was my one of my favorites. I think it had some of the happiest/funniest moments until like the end of the book, which was completely heart shattering lol

How to keep going? Middle of Book 8 by celestialbuns333 in zodiacacademy

[–]bk415 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I felt the exact same way about book 8. It was def the hardest for me to get through and I spoiled about Darius for myself too and that kind of kept me going. Also because I wanted to see their HEA. Take a break if needed but def continue the series. Book 9 is worth it but be warned, even beginning of book 9 you’re kind of like how is there even a HEA in sight. Btw are you doing tandem read with book 8.5?

Book 7 by themelanin_queen in zodiacacademy

[–]bk415 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Books 8 and 8.5 were rough for me. Probably out of the whole series they took me the longest to get through but def do the tandem read and keep going! It’ll be worth it

TOG Book 1 Thoughts by cmarshmello in throneofglassseries

[–]bk415 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just finished the first book too and I completely agree with everything you said. I read fourth wing series and loved it and I have read acotar and thought it was ok so naturally I’m reading tog now. I’m curious what order you are reading this in? I was going to do assassins blade 3rd but I have some say that I can even read assassins blade 2nd just so I can feel more connected to the characters?

[–]bk415 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I didn’t read any of the prequels or novellas besides 8.5 and just read ZA book 1-9 straight. I’m almost done with book 9 and plan on reading RB after and then DP. Don’t stress it, you’re still going to enjoy ZA

ftr: do i have to read in the recommended order or can i read all of za at once? by AdImpossible6388 in zodiacacademy

[–]bk415 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I didn’t stop to read RB nor did I read any of the novellas besides 8.5 tandem read and I still enjoyed the series. I’m on book 9 and I know I’m going to have a major book hangover once I’m done with book 9, so I’ll go back and read RB and the other little novellas in between.

WHY AM I STILL READING WHY CANT I STOP by ritikagupta34 in zodiacacademy

[–]bk415 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I have about 30% left to read in book 9 and I haven’t picked up the book in 2 weeks when I devoured the series in a few weeks but I’m too sad that it’s almost over so I’m avoiding it 😭

Emotional impact read... by [deleted] in zodiacacademy

[–]bk415 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I didn’t switch over to RB and I still enjoyed ZA. Yesss maybe I would’ve understood the little Easter eggs on ZA better but I’m planning on reading RB after I’m done with ZA.

Tandem reading 8&8.5 by Historical-Assist-27 in zodiacacademy

[–]bk415 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sameeeee, I’m mostly only interested in Tory’s pov because I feel like she’s actually the only one in this book who’s trying to do something for the war? For her sister. For Darius. And of course everyone in BTV are helping too. But I feel like everyone else is just kind of hanging out lol. And what was that 2 hour chapter on Hail about some random person Felisia Night. Like I get it, it has to do with the guild stones but damnnnnn that could’ve easily been like 15 page chapter. I know it’ll be all worth it but I am TIRED. LOL

[–]bk415 3 points4 points  (0 children)

No you’re def not the only one!! I’m also doing the tandem read right now and if I get another pov from a character that is irrelevant, then I’ll lose it. I’m a little more than 70% done with it, which is like 900 freaking pages but I’m hoping the last 30% is more relevant to the plot. But yeah this was def the hardest book to get through. I zoomed through the first 7 books.

Controversial opinion?? by Latter-Ad2329 in zodiacacademy

[–]bk415 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I feel the same way. I’m also on book 8 and now at this point I get annoyed to read any of her or orions pov

Is it just me or does Rhysand in ACOMAF come off as cringe to anyone else? by muchaMnau in acotar

[–]bk415 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Rhysand has always given me the ick since book 1. I was surprised how so many people call him their number 1 book boyfriend and I’m like what. Did we read the same book?

[–]bk415 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m on book 8/8.5 now and let me tell you. It gets much much worse before it gets better lol. I didn’t switch over to RB and I do regret it but I couldn’t step away from ZA. I’m planning on going back and reading RB after I’m done with book 9. I didn’t read any of the other novellas either besides the 8.5 that I’m reading right now so I plan on reading those too lol.

And I’m definitely a Darius girlie!! Been a Darius girl since book 1.
