Tome Thursday: Queen of Shadows

 

Hello everyone!

 

What do you say when it's been nearly a decade since you sat down to review the preceding book to tonight's blog choice?

 

Equally, what do you say that could POSSIBLY even be said?

 

I mean, after all ... my last Throne of Glass book series post was back in 2017.

 

Then I went and fell off the wagon somehow.

 

I can remember most of my reasons why, but recently, a co-worker of mine really got into reading these fantasy novels, and she kept pestering me about A Court of Silver Flames, then moved along to the rest of the Throne of Glass books.

 

Because I stopped over halfway through and just never picked back up again. Who am I kidding either, I have yet to review any of the Crescent City series on here, too, despite the fact I HAVE read at least the first book.

 

But without further ado, let's just jump right in, shall we? Our characters have been eagerly waiting, and they're trying so hard to shine in Queen of Shadows.

 

Tome Thursday: Heir of Fire

Hello everyone!

In honour of finishing another Maas book, I decided to hit the reviews yet again and see just what, precisely, I'm missing in a series I've been reading.

This series being, of course, the Throne of Glass series.

I've said it before somewhere and it bears repeating: for some odd reason, I can only read about Celaena if I'm really in the mood, and this works so that if I'm in said mood AND I pick up the book, I'll breeze through it in one or two sittings.

But, should I be in the mood, and get distracted, then I won't be able to get back into it by the time I return.

This, usually, leads to the poor assassin-slash-queen having to sit there and stew for a while as I go about my merry way.

Sometimes it takes me longer than usual to get back on track.

Unfortunately, this was also what happened with Heir of Fire.

Tome Thursday: Crown of Midnight

Hello everyone!

So I am slowly trekking my way through these book series, even though sometimes it certainly does take me longer than one would think! In my defense, I tend tor read SO many books and start SO many series that I sometimes forget to go back to the ones I'd already read, or something else catches my eye, and then of course before I realize it, it's already been ages from the time I've read a certain book!

Then again, I also have to be into the story, so to speak. If I'm not, those books will be left waiting there on the shelves forever ...

I'm not exactly sure what my issue is with Sarah J. Maas' first published series though.

I absolutely love Celaena, she's the kind of character I could go for any day of the week, and yet when I actually sit down to read the books with her as the titular character, time seems to slow down into a crawl.

I start them alright - and when I actually read them I can breeze through them. But STARTING them to begin with is a complete chore for some reason!

Which is sad, because they're amazing. So, on to Crown of Midnight!
