Do I think it's one of her best? No
However I think readers have come to expect so much from her now that she's getting a bit of backlash if the book is anything but perfect.

Even though I've read better from her, it's still really good.

I really liked this one, but it's not her best. I liked Maybe Someday better for sure. I actually didn't love Slammed. I think b/c the writing was not as good b/c it's her first stuff and I found it harder to read.

Still reading The Secret Diamond Sisters (The Secret Diamond Sisters, #1) by Michelle Madow and I'm not loving it. I'm finding the characters rather annoying :(

Heir of Fire? Yeah, you can't read it without reading at least the first two. And if you can read the prequel novellas even better. It's all quite awesome, though!

Isn't this going to be a series or something? I'm guessing that's why it has a 1 at the end.

Exactly. I started with Hopeless then moved on to Maybe Someday. Then read Slammed. I'm 30% into PoR but I'm not loving it to be honest. it's kind of boring. But I'll finish it and see if it gets better for me.

Finished Extraction (Extraction, #1) by Stephanie Diaz . Took me TWO months. I'm giving it a 2. I really was not impressed at all. I can't believe I even kept reading it.

Ugh! I'm really disappointed that this book turned out to be such a dud Brooke. I was really excited when I first found out about it. It looked like it had promise, but noooooo. Oh well, I guess not all book can be good ones. I'm sorry you had such an awful time reading this one.

See, I'm just not feeling this one. I don't know why. I'm sad. Maybe I should have read this series first before Hopeless.

I just could not connect with the characters at all. And the writing was like this: I got up. I walked across the room. I turned on the light. It was glowing. I sat back down. I picked up the book. I started to read.

Awful!

I own all of the books, including the novellas. I just haven't gotten around to reading them yet. Where do the novellas fit in? After which book should they be read?

I read the novellas first. They are prequels and give a lot of good insight into who the main character is and how she comes about the circumstances at the beginning of the first book. You don't HAVE to read the novellas, but I liked that I did. Maas mentions things in the books that have to do with the stories you read in the novellas and it was nice to have that background first.

Teresa | 606 comments So up next for me will be Siege and Storm (The Grisha, #2) by Leigh Bardugo followed by Under Different Stars (Kricket, #1) by Amy A. Bartol . That should tide me over until Heir of Fire (Throne of Glass, #3) by Sarah J. Maas comes out. I just read someone's review for it. I can't wait, it's going to be soooo good.

Yup the novellas added so much insight to the overall story and insight into Celaena's character. It was wonderful getting all of that background. I ended up reading the novellas after I had already read the first 2 books and I still loved them so I don't think it matters in which order you end up reading them, at least it didn't for me :)
