I heard the system is similar to the bone season. Do u know if thats true?

​@@PlantingAshley I haven't read any of her other books, so I honestly don't know!

Good to know! Ok ill read priory and u read bone season then we can compare notes 🗣️📖

Not failed! U just have some things to look forward to :))

Oh that would be sick if theres even more coming! The audible narration for it is also my favorite the Scottish Gaelic integration is awesome, and it adds so much character to our girl. You should sample the audible version!

Thank you so much for watching! I plan to make a lot of videos like this :) if u suggest some ideas i can take that into consideration too.

Yes! You can totally do it. Throne of glass has the most intense moments from any series ive read and i hope sarah brings that into her future books, right now it feels like her writing is catering to the popular audience with not much intensity on action but more romance focused whereas tog was such a masterpiece. Working fulltime is super difficult to fit in other things, because anytime you get to yourself its like ugh i have to cook or sleep or whatever. What book are you at in tog?

@PlantingAshley I just finished throne of glass last night and now I am moving on to crown of midnight this morning. I know that there are a bunch of different reading orders, but I am keeping it simple and I'm reading in publication order :)

Im also so excited for onyx storm! Tog is so good, and 20 is a good goal! Never push yourself into a place where reading becomes a chore tho. Its an escape :)

Yea i struggled with that choice! But i thought if i put it before, then people wouldnt like tog or acotar bc theres not as much “on the page” as there is in fourth wing and iron flame, so i thought putting it after both, but with a pallette cleanser in the middle would be ideal. I think either works! It depends on the person, i wish i read it before personally but cant change anything LOL

Well I went Rt to ACOTAR from Fourth Wing, then after the first book cut to TOG. I have actually read it all intertwined. I am babying the last 2 books. I do not know if I can handle being done with TOG, tbh. I haven’t started CC. I am interested to hear your thoughts. I am just unsure.

@ honestly as someone whos reread throne of glass like 4 times now, the reread is so good, u should finish it so you can read it knowing everything you know. Crescent city is also good its just discordant with the flow. Looking back now id probably put it very last after plated prisoner just because the magic system feels very weird in comparison coming from all these medieval fae stories to a modern day fae story

@@writewithjoy it is SO good and the first book gild is pretty short so you can wet your feet with it- its a pretty good representation of the entire series

​@@PlantingAshley see i HATED book one. But the rest? Loved LOVED. One of my top series in 2024

Fillers i feel like are usually happy and beach episode-y, this book i was in thats all talk is like just ruminating in misery and sadness, and the next book apparently, according to the book jacket, the they swap again and one of them gets trapped somewhere and it literally says he has to talk her through it, so im just like, idk man

Yes, i am so excited for mist theif personally. I fuckin loooved the everking series UGH so good. And im even more interested in this side character

LOL Papered Ashley

Paging Ashley lol

Thats hilarious

Aw thanks! I’m glad you’re enjoying the videos!

@@madelynbeierle8232 omg 🥺 can i convert you? I want to convert everyone 👹 you still into plants? If so what are your current favs?

Thank you so much for staying so long and watching 🥺 yes i have thought about book club but i read books in about 3 days max so i dont think it would be a good fit for me, but i craaave the book social interraction so its hard, this is kinda my compromise bc i can do this from home too and chris and i share 1 car at the moment

@@PlantingAshley that’s understandable! What are you reading now? I just started Fear the Flames and I’m hooked! Also, I didn’t know you could order books straight from the authors! I tried to look up the author of the book I’m reading but it says the website is down. I think this might be her debut though. So I might just wait and see what they come out with. It just got picked up by a publishing company, if I’m not mistaken. So maybe they will come out with a really pretty special edition.

@ yeah! I just look up their name and then website, they usually have their own website and books u can buy from them! Its so fun im totally hooked. Waterstones is really great too, the books are cooler and cheaper than they are in the usa

So bad bc i dont actually leave reviews ☠️ but if u ask about a book i can tell you my thoughts!

Ive never heard of those! Whats the genre?

@PlantingAshley paranormal/romance/fantasy, both series are like 30+ books.

@ oh my god how do you even navigate that? Are they that good that far out? Does it follow their children or other characters?

Thank you for sticking around for so long, you're the best! 🥰

Yes!! I saw that today actually, but im terrified the final book wont match the rest so i am waiting for a set, or till i move or they release a special edition of all three!!

That is also a great idea!

@@heidifritz1033 do you own the physical copies?

⁠I actually bought the first 2 yesterday and I have to order Powerful and they are out of the Special Edition that has the black cover. So disappointed that I will have to get the white cover. Have you seen the 4th book cover? It is black as well.

Thanks so much for still watching! 🥺💕

@@PlantingAshley it was nice to see you pop up on my feed. Thank you for sharing your books with us! 👏

I think people dont like when the moon hatched because its a new magic system that definitely requires some of the built in dictionary’s use, its multiple pov, and it is a looot of world building. I read all 700 pages in under 24 hours because it was so addicting, its by far one of my only 5 stars of the entire year, and if you like high fantasy youll LOVE it. Ill say, if you loved throne of glass youll LOVE it lol. I think its very worth it And house of beating wings is like a punishing acotar, like plated prisoner. Very very good!

@PlantingAshley I'll be reading when the moon hatched after my current reading and I'll let you know my thoughts! I haven't read TOG yet, dk why. Maybe bcz I didn't like ACOTAR as much as everyone hyped it upto. I really like it. I do. But just not as much as I expected. And since TOG is also so freakin hyped up, I'm kinda hesitant to get in. Thanks once again for your recommendations though ❤️

@ i actually dont think throne of glass is hyped in the way acotar is at all. Acotar and iron flame are soooo hyped, and deliver good reading but not lifechanging. Throne of glass literally set my precedent for all future books and it is stilllll my all time favorite series ever, and the books i love are very representative of how tog is. Acotar is 100% romantasy, whereas tog is high fantasy, with some romance elements. Its nothing like acotar in that reguard, idk i cant explain it bc its complicated. The romance in tog is some of my favorite because its truly, actoss everyone, the slowest of burns and you have no idea whos ending up with who. Yes please tell me how its going as youre reading it! You can message me as ur reading it on instagram and ill respond while ur going thru it and we can scream and gush together 🥺👹

Omg we are totally the same then. What other books do you like? We probably like the same ones 🗣️🚨

@@PlantingAshley oo man, from this year specifically in the fantasy-with-a-little-romance category, I loved Emily Wilde, Starling House, Sorcery of Thorns, Yumi and the Nightmare Painter, and A Deadly Education. Divine Rivals was maybe more romance-forward, but I'm a sucker for Rebecca Ross's prose 🤌🏼 I did read ACOTAR with the exception of ACOSF (which I intend to get to eventually), but I never felt like it fully satisfied me and tbh I cannot stand Feyre, so that didn't help lol. I haven't read any of SJM's other stuff though. I've heard TOG is good, so I may get around to it someday. I'm currently reading Assassin's Apprentice by Robin Hobb, which is just straight up fantasy.

@ ill check all those books out! Divine rivals i did read! My first experience with rebecca ross. Ive heard a lot of great thinks about emily wilde!!

Thanks for still sticking around :)

OMG i read fourth right directly after tog. Maybe its not the books maybe its literally that no one else can be celaena

ooo, I personally loved Fireborne, but I will admit that the first was definitely the “worst” of the trilogy. The next two books were masterpieces 🤌🏼

@@writewithjoy ill take note of this too! What did you like about it? Without spoilers 🚨🚔🚨🚔

I do love dragons as a general rule, so that’s one thing! I actually read it immediately after Fourth Wing and Eragon (I was on a dragon kick), so I had to get used to the dragons in Fireborne being more like beasts than speaking characters, but I ultimately thought it was a good choice. I appreciated the complex moral quandaries that the characters have to grapple with, especially since each of our main characters comes from a different socioeconomic background and therefore have really different perspectives, but the right/wrong thing to do isn’t always clear, and the love and care that these characters have for each other also complicates matters. The author also plays around with different languages and political scheming and does a great job with world building, but even with all of that, it’s very action packed and well-paced. There’s lots of pining and sweet moments between characters (as well as some dramatic irony that made me want to SCREAM but like in a good way haha). I had some pretty intense emotional reactions (of both excitement and weeping), especially with the last book. The first book was enjoyable and solid, but the second book is what got me hooked (there are new POVs introduced that I loved 😭🫶), and the third book solidified it as one of my favorite series I read this year. I personally loved all of the characters, even if I’d get mad at them for their choices sometimes lol. I’ve seen some people critique it for being “dry” in terms of prose, which I can understand, but it’s one of those books where you get more engaged with the plot than the language, if that makes sense. It’s perfectly serviceable and straightforward writing from what I remember (but it does improve after book one, which I believe was Munda’s debut).

@@PlantingAshley wow so true....we're always keeping an eye out for Selener
