This was one of my first adult high fantasy series I ever read, I actually read it in high school due to a friend's recommendation at the time and I blew through all of the books. I was obsessed with this series.
HUGE UNBOXING BOOK HAUL πβ¨
I found the magic system in particular to be rather strong in the first installment and I've heard that the entire series only gets better and better book over book. Honestly it's fantastic. While I wouldn't say the first book was perfect I was rather intrigued.
Which I read last year and for the most part enjoyed. While I didn't love the first installment I thought many of the inputs were really interesting including the magic system and the writing and the characters. I didn't love the romance.
I read Red Rising a few months ago and thought it was a okay but obviously this is an incredibly beloved series. Again the first one was just okay but everyone says books two and three are like on another level.
This is Cassandra Clare's adult fantasy debut and wow was I absolutely riveted and entertained by the story. The pacing of this was so well plotted, it's so interesting, book one was all about the political setup, so much slowburn from a political and a relationship point of view, I flew through this book.
I remember reading and enjoying book one but honestly this book came out all the way in 2015 and I read it right when it came out so needless to say I will have to reread book one before I can jump into book two.
