Are Popular Fantasy Books On TikTok Worth the Hype?

if you're looking for a fantasy storyline that has a heavy romance subplot but still has a pretty solid fantastical backing i feel like sarah j maas books can be a lot of fun. i do feel like her series tend to be over extended both in the page count. some of those novellas like the new book six or book four and acotar like do we really need that i'm not so sure

i really enjoyed this book and i do feel like it deserves the hype it gets. i do feel like this one adds a lot of originality and a really central main character that is very easy to root for. i loved the banter the romance

i love the enchantment of ravens i thought it was an excellent y a face centered story with great atmosphere and great writing a really wonderful fantasy standalone

i flew through books one and two within this world they are so much fun very steamy definitely delivering on the romance front the first book i was honestly completely bought in i was entertained i was invested

this book is amazing believe all of the hype buy this book immediately. an incredible first book to a new urban fantasy ya story following an incredibly likable main character mysterious magic a secret athorian legend based secret society that kills monsters

i didn't find it to be that exceptional in the fantasy space like i can definitely understand why it's popular but i found it to be pretty standard and i didn't really feel very compelled to continue on with the series personally. it just didn't have a very substantial amount of world building i personally found it to be just okay in terms of a story experience

the shadow and bone trilogy was just one i personally could never really get that into and i've tried to reread it over the years but honestly i just felt like the writing in the world building felt a little flat

i love leigh bardugo and i love six of crows and a lot of her other books she has come out with since shadow and bone

i did not really enjoy sorcery of thorns. i found the plot to be very predictable and the overall like pacing was a little unusual as well for me i was really sad i didn't love this book

the first two books within this trilogy are absolutely so much fun a classic dark fae centered fantasy story with a very strong hate to love romance at its core. i actually found the third and final book here to be actually very weak and ultimately pretty disappointing

i will be in infernal devices stan until i die the infernal device is absolutely still lands in my opinion. infernal devices holds up totally worth the hype foundational to me as a reader

i do feel like city of bones and that original six book series probably not worth the hype anymore but very foundational for the time

a lot of my early youtube content was being totally in love with the throne of glass series obviously with age and time i wouldn't say it's my favorite series of all time like i used to in the past but i completely understand why it's so popular both on youtube and on booktalk

this was one that i personally did not like at all i think i gave this book like one or two stars i was really underwhelmed by the plot and the characters and the world building
