I just think it was too long. I think it could have been a few hundred pages shorter, and I also felt like it was a sequel to a book. I felt like I should have more background information to these characters than I did.
Are the LONGEST reads on BookTok actually worth it?!
The romance is great. It gets really high action. Everything starts happening.
I actually really like the first one. I think the first one is worth reading. I found it really easy to get through.
I enjoyed it more than the second one. I don't think I enjoyed it as much as the first one, but I did enjoy it more. I felt like the ending was very satisfying.
Then we go on to House of Sky and Breath and this is where my enjoyment for the series really starts to go downhill because this was such a slog for me to get through. I haven't seen a lot of people love this book. I loved the ending.
I remember there being a lot of slower points in this book. I was like really, really pushing through, but like I had set a challenge for myself, so that's what got me through. But, there are a lot and a lot of let's say a little bit disturbing themes in this one.
That one is just under a thousand pages as well and I loved every single second of it. It was actually my favorite in the entire series. Yeah, that is Sarah J. Maas pacing well.
Now, this one did feel a little bit slower than the last two, I'm not going to lie, but then the ending, the last third of this book, guys, it absolutely cured anything that I was feeling sluggish.
I will always recommend this book. I think this is the strongest point of the entire series. This is the epitome.
Fourth book, however, this is probably the one that definitely felt really dragged out. Now, I still loved it. I still gave it like a 4.25, but it was long.
This is dealing with some really, really, really heavy topics, especially this one and the one before this, Saving Six.
First of all, Way of Kings, 100% yes. This was a phenomenal start to a series. The detail in this is insane.
The first one is the Will of the Many series or the High Rockie series by James Islington. I was actually going to include this on this list, but they're all 700 pages, around about. I thought they were a lot longer than that, but 100% easy, easy worth it.
The second one is probably one of my favorite books I've ever read in my entire life. I love Words of Radiance more than anything. This is an infinity star read for me.
