and so far I really like it. The writing is excellent. Still trudging my way through
. It's just not on par with the others. I really am having a hard time understanding what happened to this author's writing. It feels as though she didn't write this book. I'm baffled.

Great. I love everything Sarah Maas, but I think a few people on this thread mentioned it took them a while to get into it so that made me nervous. I think this will be my next book.

was her first book. It wasn't bad, just a little slow. I've been reading so much YA which are more fast paced usually that slower paced books are a bit harder for me to get into. That being said, her writing was very beautiful.

Yes, unlike ToG, which pulls you in right from the first page, ACoTaR does take a little while to get into…it really starts moving at around chapter 7-chapter 8 and then it doesn't stop
Here's my review if you'd like to check it out https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

That's better than a book that starts out with a major scene and then drags in the middle. Twilight started out real slow and I loved that series. I feel like a lot of books start with a big action scene and you're like Yeah, and then the rest of it is so boring.

Whenever I get an audio with a narrator that I can't deal with I'll return it for a refund and they take care of it right away.

Maybe you'll like it more than I? I am finishing it today. I will tell you this, if you are looking for that romance and romantic tension she had in the other two books in this series, you won't find it in this one.
