This book is definitely extra.

Kingdom of Ash (Throne of Glass, #7) by Sarah J. Maas

December 31, 2018 by narfna 2 Comments

I have so many THOUGHTS about this book that I am going to go the other route and only hit the highlights. I am already ten reviews behind and I’m not going to have time today to write them all, so I might honestly have to declare REVIEW AMNESTY and start fresh in the new year. (Although there are some books I really want to actually review.) Here are my thoughts in no particular order: This book was TOO LONG. 992 pages is about two […]

A rollercoaster of frustration, eyerolling, and morbid curiosity

Throne of Glass series: Throne of Glass, Crown of Midnight, Heir of Fire, Queen of Shadows, Empire of Storms, Tower of Dawn, The Assassin's Blades (novellas) by Sarah J. Maas

May 8, 2018 by Aquillia 7 Comments

One of my goals this year is to read more fantasy by female authors. I will not declare this to be an exclusive goal (if the next Martin or Rothfuss or Lynch or Staveley novel is punished I will devour it with no guilt whatsoever). But as a woman trying to write fantasy, I want to see more what is being published by my female peers. This also may lead to less obnoxious grim-dark fantasy, which sounds great to me. My reading choices are also […]

Is She Just Going to Get a New Potential Love Interest Each Book?

Heir of Fire by Sarah J. Maas

February 21, 2018 by Quorren 2 Comments

Why does Empire Strike Back work so well? Because each side story that one of the main characters is on is interesting and well-thought out. If Luke had gone to Dagobah and Han and Leia stayed brooding on the Falcon and moping about Luke being gone, and then there was a random story about a previously unknown Sith lord hanging out with his mean Stormtrooper friends, there would be no international phenomenon today. Anyways, this long and drawn out metaphor is how I feel about […]

I feel like this series maybe is holding me hostage and I have Stockholm Syndrome for it.

Empire of Storms (Throne of Glass, #5) by Sarah J. Maas

December 30, 2017 by narfna 7 Comments

Firstly, this book is bonkers. Secondly, Sarah J. Maas is not the author for me, a 32 year old person. The prose is out of control overwritten to impress and be MEANINGFUL. The characters pair up like lobsters and it is overwhelmingly heterosexual, which just makes me roll my eyes. Really, all these characters you just so happened to create just happen to find their soulmate or whatever and get together by the end? Really? This is the same thing that annoyed me out of […]

It’s a love/hate relationship.

Queen of Shadows (Throne of Glass, #4) by Sarah J. Maas

September 14, 2017 by narfna 4 Comments

Despite its numerous flaws, it seems I actually like this series quite a bit now. Sigh. A lot of the problems I had with this series are still there, but if I’m going to keep reading it, at some point I’m going to have to acknowledge that no one is holding a gun to my head and making me do that, and that some part of me is enjoying it enough to push past all the stuff that annoys me. At that point, it just […]

I liked this one???

Heir of Fire (Throne of Glass, #3) by Sarah J. Maas

August 29, 2017 by narfna Leave a Comment

Honestly, I did not expect to like this book. It’s only logical. I assumed that I would have the same reaction to it that I had for the first three books in the series, which was basically to be entertained, but also half the time I’m rolling my eyes at the predictable plot twists, the shallow characters, the tell-not-show and idiom-filled writing (a symptom of weak worldbuilding). I just didn’t find any of it particularly compelling, especially Celaena, the central character. I found her to […]
