    I just finished glass sword, and I honestly don’t think it deserves the bad rap. I hear everyone saying that you just need to get through it to get to the end of the series, but absolutely LOVED it!!! Be prepared to cry though I bawled for a good half hour at the end. I would definitely recommend reading the rest of the series and I can’t wait to read kings cage😁

    It's one of my favourite books (and series of books)! I've read it over and over again, and without any spoilers romance takes a bigger place in the following books (and yes I was disappointed by the second and the third one, but for me the fourth one made it up for it)
    Have a nice day :)

      I read the first book and thought it was okay but not incredible. I started the second and literally couldn’t finish it. It was all over the place it’s so confusing and so many things happened at the same time. Maybe should I pick it up again ?

      @@tommytommy7535mare disappointed me the most. Hundreds of pages of supposed build-up only for her to get rescued by someone else. Absolutely no pay-off and I found myself wishing someone just killed her or she herself for that matter. Absolutely pathetic, worthless and woefully uninspiring. I even got more angry as the new character with exact same powers showed up whisking away any twinge of uniqueness she may have had.

    The first book is a base for the rest of thr story, and thr other three build on the established romance and world. The other books (for me) were good (good is sb understatement tbh i was obsessed), but the entire series seems like a really good and developed TikTok pov hahaha
    I do recommend it though so go ahead and give it a try!

    I will say the next books are very plot driven and there is some info dumping, however I truly enjoyed the series in whole and am so glad I continued on (I almost stopped during kings cage). I definitely recommend it if you can power through the slower parts. Also highly recommend broken throne! (It’s a collection of novellas) It gives great resolve to the series!

    This was my first feries in this book world and ik that this is controversial but I really like the complete series (we do not talk about glass sword so much). The reason I like it is because of the amount of politics and betrayal that there is in this book. Maven that man is hot and when I read the plot twist I literally curser because I was like what? What just happened?

      I’d give it 3.5/5 the plot is definitely more intresting then character, so if ur a plot person rather then character person you night enjoy this !
