Throne of Glass (Book 1)

  Title:  Throne of Glass (Book 1)

Author: SJM

Publisher: Bloomsbury

Year Published:

Started: Jan 7 2022 ( I tried to read this originally in 2019 

Finished: Jan 17 2022

Review:

I hate love triangles, hate them. 

Also I think my habit of aging up the protagonists makes things work better because I could believe she was young but not as young as the book claimed. (Also I know Dorian should marry as a crown prince but I didn't understand the pressure if he was just 19, he did have a younger brother in case of his death)



Epiphanies/quotes/ Things to remember:

- "He didn’t understand the rage that arose upon seeing Dorian standing in the doorway, didn’t want to understand that sort of anger. It wasn’t jealousy, but something beyond it." - tiktok has already spoiled me with the ending of this but I'm not sure I get why Chaol is already in love with her with not too after meeting her

- 'In the garden, the Captain of the Guard stared up at the young woman’s balcony, watching as she waltzed alone, lost in her dreams. But he knew that her thoughts weren’t of him."

- “That man cares for you more than either of you realize,” -- but why?

Kingdom of ash (ToG 8)

  Title:   Kingdom of Ash Author: SJM   Publisher:  Bloomsbury Year Published: 2020 Started: April1  2022  Finished: April 12 2022 Review: I was here for Lorcan and Elide's arc. However Aelin/Rowan once they were reunited, I didn't love their arc. Also I felt that the wolf tribe reveal was frustrating another of Aelin's plans we see or hear nothing about, I guess it was a fitting way for the series to end. I did not think Aedion did enough  to redeem himself, Lysandra should have made him beg even more. I know his father died but in the run up to that  I still hate Chaol, I know I enjoyed the focus on the mmc's mental issues in ToD but here he still annoyed me. Also while I liked them as a couple in ToD, I felt like Yrene was diminished here because of her relationship with him. (I needed more of her and Aelin) Epiphanies/quotes/ Things to remember:  - "So Lorcan did." - this book was already 1000 pages long and we couldn't get their fir...

The High Mountain Court

 Title:   The High Mountain Court Author : A.K. Mulford   Publisher:  Year Published: 2021 Started:  April 10th 2022 Finished: April 13th 2022 Review: This is a book  that feels rushed, it could have maybe benefitted from another 200 or so pages. While there was decent world building in parts, others felt completely glossed over and we were left to fill in the gaps.  .  I do love a fated mates trope but again it feels rushed. Also it seems like it's going to be enemies to lovers, but she is into from the moment they meet, and I need my enemies to lovers crack  I did enjoy that the witches seemed to be main characters like the fae, and not secondary until they became annoying to the plot. Epiphanies/quotes/ Things to remember: Why did he have to speak to her like a friend and treat her like an enemy?
