I am currently reading Throne of Glass series and started with Assassin's Blade and for me it was perfect for me. I am so much more invested in Celaena's journey

I started with House of Earth and Blood and it was not really for me. I thought it was way too long and that the story could have been told in a shorter book. But then I started reading Throne of Glass and I absolutely LOVE it so far I've read the first three plus The Assassin's Blade and I can't wait to read the rest!

Love your video! I agree with your series reading order for sure. ACOTAR, then TOG, then CC. I also agree that you should NOT skip ACOFAS. It's a nice chill read to set you up for ACOSF. I also agree to read Assassin's Blade after Heir of Fire. For those confused about the tandem read of Empire of Storms and Tower of Dawn...Here's my opinion. Yes, you could read them at the same time as they take place at the same time, following two different characters in two different areas. I've heard of some people trying to skip Tower of Dawn because they don't love the character is follows, or they want to get straight to Kingdom of Ash where Empire of Storms leaves off. Please don't do this! Tower of Dawn is important for so many reasons! Please either tandem read it or read it after Empire of Storms. It's a great book and contributes to the overall story. Thank you for a great video! You nailed it! 🥰

I’ve seen people debate reading AB before or after HOF, and I’ve heard both sides say one spoils things in the other, so you should read X before Y, etc. Would it be best to read some of the novellas before HOF and some after? Or is there no way to avoid certain spoilers?
@katreadsit
@katreadsit 8 месяцев назад
I think that if you wanna avoid all potential spoilers I’d read AB first, which is all 5 novellas. Reading it after HoF but before QoS is more of a romantic method. The characters are fresher in your mind and it may mean more (I say may because it really does depend on the person - hence the debate) to read it right before QoA. But reading AB first before anything is technically the chronological order, which is the only way to avoid all potential spoilers. I hope this helps! 🥰

For ToG: I went the route of ToG, CoM, then Assassin's Blade. Kinda wish I read of Assassin's Blade first imo...
@katreadsit
@katreadsit 5 месяцев назад
I’ve heard about people reading it in that order (I think that’s how SJM recommended it too?). Assassins Blade is definitely one of those books where I think it comes down to preference. But the good thing is that now if you able to recommend this series to anyone you can suggest Assassin’s Blade first! ☺️

@katreadsit
@katreadsit 4 месяца назад
Throne of Glass isn’t as spicy since they technically started out as YA (before they were shelved it as adult fantasy romance) but it does allude to things (and maybe has one down the line?) it’s been an minute but I remember it being pretty vague. I remember some spice in the CC too! I hope this helps 🥰.

@katreadsit
@katreadsit 7 месяцев назад
Exactly ☺️. Best to start with A Court of Thorns and Roses, then read my fave: A Court of Mist and Fury(it’s amazing and a book I wish I could read again for the first time). Then you round out the original trilogy with A Court of Wings and Ruin. Then you read the novella, A Court of Frost and Starlight (I don’t recommend skipping it) and then a Court of Silver Flames. That order is pretty essential to getting the full experience that is Silver Flames. I hope this helps! 🥰

@katreadsit
@katreadsit 23 дня назад
I definitely recommend the tandem read☺️. I personally find it hard to do it the traditional published way. They read like two different stories, so if you read them together it’s like 1 story. I think I put a guide on how to do the tandem read in the description of the video but if I didn’t google “the empire of storms/tower of dawn tandem read guide” and rosebud’s realms guide will come up. Of course, follow what feels best to you! That’s just my advice 🥰 Happy reading! 📖

Why tandem read two books in the same series? I don't mind minor spoilers, but I'm so confused.
@katreadsit
@katreadsit 10 месяцев назад
I’m just gonna put my respond lower in this comment just in case someone sees it. This isn’t a spoiler per say but I wanna play it safe just in case. Empire of Storms ends but Tower of Dawn doesn’t pick up where Empire of Storms leaves off. It’s a totally different book (that’s all I can say). So the tandem read allows you to get all the information at the same time so you go into Kingdom of Ash fully prepared. This tandem provides a more enjoyable reading experience imo. I hope this helps!
