What are you currently reading?
- The Dark Crowns (Three Dark Crowns, #1) by Kendare Blake
- Queen of Shadows (Throne of Glass, #4) by Sarah J. Maas
I’m still currently making my way through Three Dark Crowns but I hope to finish it by tomorrow. The action is still pretty lacking at this point, but I am seeing a gradual build finally so I’m hoping that means I’m getting close! I wanna see some murder! Preferably Joseph’s, but I’ll take what I can get at this point.
I actually have yet to read any actual pages in Queen of Shadows, as I’m trying to finish up the other book first. I know that once I start, it’ll be incredibly hard to put down to read something else. My Tome Topple Read-A-Thon is slowly going down the drain. I’ll be lucky if I can finish even two books at the rate I’m going. For all of you younglings out there, never become an adult and get a real job because it totally cuts into your reading time.
What did you recently finish reading?
- The Diabolic by S.J Kincaid – full review HERE
- Wolf by Wolf (Wolf by Wolf, #1) by Ryan Graudin – full review to come
I really enjoyed The Diabolic. It was a fun and brutal read, with lots of murder and mayhem. However, there were lots of similarities to the Red Rising series that kept me from rating it higher. I mean, it’s tough to live up to one of my all time favorite books so it’s not really a big deal. I still highly recommend it to everyone!
I buddy read Wolf by Wolf with my one of my blogging partners in crime, Britt @ Geronimo Reads (go check out her awesome blog!). We both really enjoyed it, though we did have some issues with the main character, Yael. I do plan on reading the sequel and I hope that some of those issues are addressed. I wasn’t really sure if I was going to like this book when I first bought it, but I was pleasantly surprised. Yay for my first buddy read!
What do you think you’ll read next?
- Empire of Storms (Throne of Glass, #5) by Sarah J. Maas
- Moon Chosen (Tales of a New World, #1) by Sarah J. Maas
Once I finish Three Dark Crowns I will officially be able to dive into my Tome Topple TBR all the way. I plan to finish up the ToG series and then start on the new release P.C Cast novel. If that name sounds familiar, it’s because she wrote the House of Night vampire series. I used to love those books when I was in high school so I’m interested in seeing how her new book turns out. You can read all about my Tome Topple Read-A-Thon TBR here.

Glad you (mostly) liked wolf by wolf and enjoyed diabolic- both of those are in my tbr. I’ve heard similar things about three dark crowns to be honest

Yeah, Wolf by Wolf was good but I felt a little disconnected from the MC. She didn’t have much of a personality or anything. But it was still a good book overall! I’m hoping that Three Dark Crowns picks up soon though!

Three Dark Crowns is definitely light on the action up until the end, hang in there! I almost DNFed it but the ending was good enough for me to want to read more. I can’t wait to hear what you think of Queen of Shadows. I decided to wait a bit before reading Empire of Storms because I loved QoS a lot and I intend on making this nice feeling last :p
Happy reading!

Yeah, the lack of action isn’t really a big problem yet. I’m actually having bigger issues with hating all of the characters except one! 🙈 oops! And I’m looking forward to Queen of Shadows, a lot of people say it’s their favorite in the series!

That sounds like my experience of Wolf by Wolf. I enjoyed it, but had some issues with Yael. Hopefully we both enjoy the sequel more!

Yeah, she just was a very blah character with no personality or anything. I just had a hard time connecting with her really. I hope it gets better too! 😊

I hope you enjoy QoS and EoS, I haven’t read the latter but I’m hoping to soon. I absolutely loved Wolf by Wolf and just recently read the sequel and I can say the duology is one of my all time favorites now. good luck with the readathon!

I’m glad that you enjoyed the sequel too! I’m hoping for a little more insight into Yael as a character, as she just fell a little flat for me. I’ve got high hopes though! Thank you! 😊

Oh I hope you’ll enjoy Three Dark Crowns a bit better by the end. I read a lot of bloggers’ thoughts about this book, and they felt like it was slow until the end ahah. I hope you’ll still enjoy it! Happy reading! 🙂

Yes, that’s what I’ve been hearing! I’m still enjoying it other than not liking most of the characters. They’re all pretty blah, except for one. I think that’s my only big complaint so far!

I will be looking forward to your thoughts on Three Dark Crowns and I’m definitely going to try and read both The Diabolic and Wolf By Wolf soon. And be prepared for Empire Of Storms! Let’s just see it is nothing like book number four…
