4.5 StarsI know it's not "cool" to like SJM books anymore...all the cool kids say she's tired, she doesn't have enough "rep" in her books, she's too trope-y, her males are too "masculine," angels and fae have been done too many times before, blah, blah, fucking blah...I'm not here to rate the literary elements here, people. I'm not here to ferret out any imagined or un-imagined social warrior stances in a barely adult Urban Fantasy book meant for entertainment.And this was scrumptious. Was the b...
Okay, I just need to stop. Stop it, Emily. At this point I can't say anything negative about Maas because it is 100% my own fault for continuing to pick up her books, hoping for... for what? That she will suddenly give me back the fun frivolities of the first two Throne of Glass books? Clearly, I am deluded if that is the case.I'm actually going to return this book. It turned up yesterday; a $20 preorder I have no memory of making. Was I drunk? Hormonal? Sleep-deprived? Who knows? Could have bee...
Instagram || Twitter || Facebook || Amazon || PinterestGather around, my friends, and pull up several seats. I give you my worst book of 2020. My god.My first introduction to Sarah J. Maas's work was through THRONE OF GLASS, which sounded kind of like POISON STUDY when I heard the premise: a disgraced assassin fighting for the saving of a kingdom? YAS. But POISON STUDY was a much better book. "But no," said the Stans. "You have to read the entire series. It gets better." Well, I read all sev
2 stars baby. I promise there will be no spoilers in this review, I’m not a monster. Warning: this review is long. Let’s begin with what kept me going throughout this entire book: my stupid tallies. My Stupid Tallies: Characters snarling: 108. This physically hurt me tbh. Characters being described with golden/tan skin: 22. The woke queen is back ladies and gentlemales, with another racially ambiguous cast that lets her imagine them as white but defend herself if people ever say she has n...
Reread and when I tell you that this book was perfect. Perfectly told and brilliantly executed.This woman speaks my language. That ending was magical beyond words. It was cinematic. It played like an action thriller. My old self clearly didn’t know what she was talking about. Rating it 4 stars. 🙄 I mean, the audacity of it all. Old review still stands but not fully. I appreciated the world-building so much more even though it was a bit of a slog to get through at first. The characters I’ve becom...
review 2/24/22:honestly enjoyed this more the second time around. i still maintain that this book is too long and lacks the kind of direction i prefer in fantasy. but upon reread i can appreciate the sheer depth of the world... the politics are pretty interesting and the hierarchies are clearly well thought out. i don't think this is maas' best work by any means but i am curious to see where this series goes.----------------------review 4/4/20:bold and brash but will i wanna throw it in the tras...
How most authors approach writing an adult book: “I’m going to delve in to some dark, gritty topics. Readers will truly feel the pain of the characters struggling to cope with the world around them.”How SJM approached writing an adult book:“SHIT FUCK BALLS FUCK FUCK FUCKING SHIT HOLY FUCKING MOTHER OF FUCK YOU FUCKER WHAT THE BALLSAC YOU SON OF A BITCH FUCKING FUCKITY CUNT RAG.”————————————————————————I’m finally ready to write this damn review. Please note that I AM actually a big SJM fan, whic...
[rtc after rereading] All the fucking stars in the universe. ALL OF THEM. First off, let me start by saying no review, no matter how eloquent or long or detailed, will ever completely let me convey my feelings about this book. Ever. Because I HAD FEELINGS and they wrecked me completely.If you don't know me, that means that this is going to be really, really long. With way too much fangirling and incoherent raving.I have heard a lot of complaints about the first half of this book being slow. Not
