I tried to read the entire Throne of Glass series in 7 days 😳 *spoiler free*

[@JustAli]

I think I forgot to mention this at the beginning of the video, but this reading vlog is spoiler-free!!

[@soapieswiftgalathynius]

Ahhh it would've been so cool if you did a spoiler section at the end of the vid so we could hear your thoughts on specific couples and characters!! 🥺

[@tanyalow3346]

Begging you to please please please read Binding 13! You expressed interest in the book a few times before and based on your tastes I think you would LOVE it! It’s a sports romance (he’s a rugby player) and they meet on her first day at Tommen College when he kicks a ball and accidentally hits her in the back of the head and knocks her out which I like so cute and I SWEAR the romance will have you kicking and squealing in bed at 4AM in the morning. The characters are definitely the most lovable people on earth- honestly don’t think there’s a possibility that anyone could not root for Shannon (and all her brothers) and Johnny (and Gibsie). While it’s technically a YA book, me and most people wouldn’t really agree with that because the book does come with some pretty hefty trigger warnings (Shannon grows up in a very toxic and abusive household) and Johnny definitely has a lot of his own struggles too that I can’t say without spoiling but I swear despite all that they are the most amazing characters to read about. Love you always, Byeeee! ❤

[@tanyalow3346]

It’s SO much more than just a fluffy sports romance though, so while there are some ridiculously funny scenes (aka. Gibsie and his cat’s explosive diarrhoea and higher-than-a-kite Johnny) please don’t go into it expecting it to be a sweet cute surface level thing because if you’re anything like me I promise you will be SOBBING.

[@nishkasehgal]

I just finished Kingdom Of Ash, so this is perfect! I miss this series so much. It’s like I lost my friends, lol. 😭

[@lex7176]

Manon is definitely one of my favorite sjm characters EVER. As soon as she was introduced i was so invested in her storyline and I absolutely bawled during one moment of hers in particular (IYKYK). As the series progressed I sadly didn’t feel as invested as I did in the beginning, but manon really kept me from giving up on finishing it. I agree that assassins blade and throne of glass are very nostalgic to look back on. I think those two will always be my favorites in the series!!

[@cindycristobal8738]

I actually skip manon’s point of view a lot of times and skim some. Maybe My opinion of the character will improve with the last couple of books. I just get impatient to get past her parts the first time I read about her because I’m not really a fan.

[@meredithclark6580]

Unpopular opinion: I actually really loved Tower of Dawn. I did the tandem read, and I found that the slower pace was actually really nice. I don’t think I would have enjoyed it as much if I did them individually

[@the_watch3d_]

This was soo fun to watch!! I'm kinda afraid of this series and how many and how long they are. However... the tandem read looks so fun and unique I might have to give it a try!!

[@tabipapula5821]

[@Harley24986]

Kingdom of Ash tore my heart out over and over. I LOVED that book and miss all those characters.

[@Niichooollaa]

I think I’m the only person who preferred Tower of Dawn to Empire of Storms. I only cared about what was happening in EoS about 70% through the book… 👀

[@user-lh8im2vy8e]

I'm so confused as to why nobody ever seems to read The Assassin's Blade third, after Crown of Midnight but before Heir of Fire. That's the order SJM herself recommends on her website, so I don't get why it's so unpopular (to the point that this video doesn't even mention it as an option)! I always find it funny when a fandom collectively decides an author is incorrect about their own work like that, and it sort of happened twice with this series (the reading order and then the popularity of the tandem read for Tower of Dawn and Empire of Storms)

[@laurieron4393]

I read Assassin’s Blade third and to this day I still consider it the best way 🤔 and I agree SJM recommended it herself so 🤷‍♀️

[@faithi717]

I hear more people recommend reading 1st or 3rd. I rarely hear 4th. I’ve been debating whether to read it 1st or 3rd.

[@JustAli]

Oooh interesting! I actually didn't know that. I just watched several tiktoks on the best reading order and heard 1st or 4th. I didn't realize SJM had given a recommendation. I should've googled that!

[@laurieron4393]

@@faithi717 If you really want to understand all the references to her past in the first 2 books and not be spoiled on what happens in the prequel read it first, but if you want to get to know Celeana, the world and you want to know what you are embarking on before reading the prequel I advise you to read it third 🤔 I just think starting with throne of glass is the better introduction to this series and this world but that’s my opinion 🙌

[@umapraharshitha]

ahhh. unpopular opinion but i actually enjoyed tower of dawn a lot more than i thought i would. idk if it was because i went in w low expectations or it was because i listened to a lot of it on audiobook or maybe it was cause i really really likes yrene. like you said , she is one of the non warrior type characters and i really loved her pov. especially on audio.

[@brefritzsching455]

I completely agree! I almost liked Tower of Dawn more than Empire of Storms, I was just so attached to Yrene and had been from Assassin's blade. The world building was also gorgeous

[@meredithclark6580]

Ali, honey, I love you. But I am a FIRM believer that reading assassins blade first is a mistake. I’m currently reading the series for the first time myself, I’m at the beginning of Kingdom of Ash. But I think the emotional impact of assassins blade is intended for you to have after already knowing her. I felt perfectly connected to Celaena reading Throne of Glass first, and then seeing all of the backstory later just made the emotions overwhelming. If you aren’t an emotional reader, I get it, but if this helps anyone decide to read assassins blade after heir or fire, I’ll be happy.

Rushing the first 5 books defo makes the final 3 less impactful 😂
