I really loved book 2 so I would definitely say it's worth reading that one.

Assassin's Blade really introduced me with the world and the characters, as well as the history of everything. Definitely worth reading that first.

I hope not either lol I should just get past the disappointment of book 4 and look at EoS with fresh eyes...oh I wish I could. I'll keep you posted.

MAY BE SPOILERS for book 1

I don't want to have to re-read the first book...does the second book sort of start off with a brief summary of the first so I don't get too lost ahah. All I remember was that she won this tournament to become the (kings guard?) And there was a love triangle between her the prince and the head-guard-person?
Some sort of dark magic involved and there was some other princess as well. Hmm, did I miss much XD
This is so sad I don't remember much considering I know I loved the first book when I read it!

Okay I slightly cheated by putting back Empire of Storms (Throne of Glass, #5) by Sarah J. Maas in my book jar and picked out Fifth Grave Past the Light (Charley Davidson, #5) by Darynda Jones oops...wasn't in the mood to be disappointed and am trying to put it EoS as much as possible.

Hey, if you're not feeling it- don't force yourself! I haven't started my next Book Jar pick yet because I'm quite content with what I'm already currently reading :)

I really do miss her I just don't want to finish the series. How many books are in this series? Is she still writing it? I need to go look.


message 128: by Tracy (new)

Tracy | 7239 comments Mod
Looks like there are 12 books with the 12th coming out October of this year but I'm not sure if that is the last one. The Stephanie Plum series is at 20 something (this is the series that reminds me of Charlie Davidson) and I could read those forever and ever.


message 129: by Sylvia (new)

Sylvia | 13086 comments Mod
Okay that's good to know that it may be her last but we aren't too sure. I'll have time look it up and see when I finally get my computer up and running again :) I could read this series forever too.
