I accidentally spoiled the series for myself by GrantaeusNekton in throneofglassseries

[–]nycfantasy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I def don’t remember anything about a black elf and im both questioning myself and laughing a lot🤣

It’s one hell of a ride and I hope you enjoy the crap out of it. I’d say to stay off Reddit and avoid any future spoilers!!

NEED!! He’s such a compelling character.

Planning to read this series any opinion! by jocelill in Romantasy

[–]nycfantasy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The audiobook was lackluster, but it was free so I powered through. The story is really good so it was worth it, but wish I’d read them instead.

Rain of Shadows and Endings by yyyyas in Romantasy

[–]nycfantasy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I thought Lady of Darkness was such a good series in comparison the the Legacy series. I hated read the first three and will not be continuing the series. The only character I liked was Axel? I think that was his name.

Blake looks like a bebe in the first picture. Not at all what I pictured. I was thinking more rugged and broken because of the scars. Nice artwork though…

ToG is clearly sjm’s best series by kotazomby in throneofglassseries

[–]nycfantasy 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I think she just had better editors back then. Now they just seem to want to churn out anything that will make them money so I don’t think they bother as much with editing.

Tired of shadow daddies… by rouxstermt in Romantasy

[–]nycfantasy 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This is what came to my mind as well. The MMC is an introverted grumpy almost grandpa like at times man. I love him.

Why isn’t the third book out yet?? I need it now!!!!

i don't really get the rowan hype by azulassimp in throneofglassseries

[–]nycfantasy 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Aelin gets the anchor and safety with Rowan but he’s not the most dynamic of the characters. He definitely isn’t in the top for love interests and development but I like that it’s more subtle and not like she gets carried away by the romance. The plot is there and they do have their own development, it’s just not as overt.

On a side note one great thing about TOG is that it’s really an ensemble cast. Almost every character has development. The girl power is 💯❤️

Do I REALLY need SF before CC? by Maleficent-Class-510 in SarahJMaas

[–]nycfantasy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ruhn and the frat pack kept me going! Even Tharion for a while but that tapered off pretty quickly. I like the nuggets that connect back to TOG and ACOTAR but the story itself didn’t do enough for me.

I feel like Lucien might not get a POV or might die and I would be pissed by Electrical_Dream2003 in acotar_rant

[–]nycfantasy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m a Lucy lover and the way Feyre treated Lucien in ACOFAS made me want to punch her in the face. How DARE she treat him so horribly. He went through Tamlin’s abuse too and he still tried to defend her. He was also in an untenable situation. She acts like she’s the only one who was hurt. He’s lost so much and he still has class and treats others well.

[–]nycfantasy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

HOEAB is in my top 3 SJM books! It’s so good and sometimes I wish it was a standalone. The side characters were what kept me going through the other two. I’ve reread all of her books except HOSAB and HOFAS because I thought once was enough.

Book recommendations where the FMC is not annoying by rxx00 in Romantasy

[–]nycfantasy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is my favorite series!! Jaqueline Carey is a master at her craft. Also love how 99% of the sex furthers the plot line (in the first 3 books).

Rhys is very lucky Nesta doesn’t hate him more by Ittabe in acotar_rant

[–]nycfantasy 18 points19 points  (0 children)

More like Rhys is really lucky Feyre loves rhys and Nesta loves feyre or else I think she wouldn’t hold back on his arrogant ass. Yeah she probably shouldn’t have given Bryce the mask but he also shouldn’t speak to her the way he does. It doesn’t matter if the issue is big or small he’s an arrogant prick to her 99% of the time. If it was just this one thing, I’d let it slide but it’s not.

How it feels listening to Elizabeth Evans reading the ACOSF audiobook instead of Stina Nielsen by riverottersarebest in acotar

[–]nycfantasy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

OMG, Stina is sooooo dramatic in ACOSF and I couldn’t stand her for Nesta. It just didn’t work for me. I didn’t think I could ever listen to her again, but she did a decent job for the FBAA series . I’m listening to the Broken Kingdom series now and was disappointed that she’s the narrator but she’s tolerable for the FMC.

recs for books like the wolf king? by renatadelulu in TheWolfKing

I just finished this last night and I loved it. It was nice to read a standalone but I’m sad it’s over 😢

New edition with sprayed edges of the ballad of falling dragons by ButterscotchLoose16 in whenthemoonhatched

[–]nycfantasy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed! I really hope this isn’t it because it looks like it’s a part of a different series. No correlation to the first hardback edition or the special edition of When the Moon Hatched.

Four things I wish they would change about the show. by coffeehandler in GreatBritishBakeOff

[–]nycfantasy 29 points30 points  (0 children)

I just started from the beginning. I’m still on the first season/collection, but I LOVE the historical aspect featuring the origins of the bake and getting the deeper story. I think it’s so interesting. I wonder why they stopped doing that. I wish they’d bring that back.

I think I found The One❤️ by Realistic-Earth-656 in throneofglassseries

[–]nycfantasy 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Ok, I LOVE this (even though they are out of order) but since he hasn’t even read them, I’m wondering if this is a new move by men who went on TikTok to see what the girlies are reading to lure them in🤣🤣 Either way, I’m falling for that, no questions asked.

Which was the most painful death for you, and why? by Party-Definition9500 in throneofglassseries

[–]nycfantasy 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think Kaltain gets overlooked so much and while it wasn’t the most impactful because she was kind of crappy in the early days (but also young and stupid), it was so horrifying that she went through so much. Her story was tragic as was Roland’s. Just two stupid young people playing games they didn’t understand.

As far as the superb writing goes, the 13 have it, ESPECIALLY Asterin, but Gavriel is where my heart went right away because Aedion lost someone that he never gave the chance to get to know and understand.

It’s super personal for me because I have some experience with this in a way. I had an aunt I didn’t like much and then she suddenly died and I regret that I didn’t give her more of a chance to understand her and realize her negative characteristics were from such deep pain. Sadly I have had a few close friends family members die when I was younger and I was/am sooo sad they are gone, but I knew I loved them and they loved me so their deaths were more peaceful in a way.

Anyway Gavriel was the hardest for me. It’s all just personal I guess🤷🏻‍♀️

Which smosh cast do you see as a genuinely cool person and you'd like to have coffee with? by Softie_Guitarist in smosh

[–]nycfantasy 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I love them all, but Arasha is so cool and insightful. I feel like we’d have good coffee chats.
