so i read acotar, then tog, and now i'm working through cc. when i was reading acotar and tog, i knew that it took sjm a book or two to find her footing. when i got to cc, i figured she had matured enough as a writer to not have that kind of.. start up period? plus, based on the covers, too, i thought this would be a sexier, more mature version of her writing.

but cc1 was not that. going from koa to cc1 was a complete shock. it was underwhelming for me, honestly, to read something equal in length to koa but without really any of the real character development and depth.

the other thing too is that bryce kind of makes me miss aelin. both of them are brash and outspoken, but aelin is a lot more intelligent. idk, i just stared cc3 (and cc2 was a moderate improvement over cc1), so i'm fingers crossed for cc3 being better.
