Throne of Glass & Crown of Midnight (NS)

I know, I'm late, but I'm on this train. WHO'S WITH ME?!

The first book was sort of meh, right? It took me a bit to get into it and accept the world and realize that I didn't completely hate Celaena. But holy shit. The second book? THE SECOND BOOK. 

I was fanning myself for most of it. And then crying. And then throwing things. And then crying again. And now I just started the third one to realize that the series is not complete. 

WHY do I always do this to myself??!

I attempted the first book last month and put it down. Big surprise. LOL.

We agreed on two books in one month.  Can't let it get out of hand.

Mmmm the 3rd book is so yummy. Enjoy!

The 4th is out in October, so that's not very long to wait. The cover reveal happened last month, and it's excellent.

Don't forget to go back and read the prequel short stories. You can buy them separately or all together in The Assassin's Blade.

Yes. Liked the first book week enough, loved the subsequent books

I looooove this series too. The beginning of #1 was kind of meh for me too, but once I got into it I was obsessed. Chaol, how I love him.

YOU MUST READ THE BOOK OF NOVELLAS. STAT. RIGHT NOW.

I loved the series from the first book, but I read the novellas before I read the second b/c the library wait time and OMG. The novellas brought me so much insight into C and her past and OMG.

I'm so glad you're on this train! It's awesome!

Cosigned. The novellas gave such a great peek into Celeana's life before ToG.

I'm already in the middle of book three but when I'm done I'm sure I'll be dying for more!

I loved Books 1 & 2... I'm struggling with book 3.  :-/

Same. The beginning of book 3 was so bleak. Understandably so, but man the first 25% was hard for me to get through.

I think I like the premise of the books but I just plain hate the character names. I think they just look stupid & I'm reluctant to start because of that. I have guesses for how they're pronounced but I always go back to thinking how weird the names look. :-< Pet peeve I guess.

heehee I read the entire first book saying Ch-oal, rhymes with coal. And consciously forced myself to say Kale every time for book two. It was exhausting.
