I also have more than one copy on preorder. 1 ebook, 2 hardcover 1 of which is signed. Will definitely not be sleeping the night of Aug. 31.

Anna | 142 comments Anyone else think that that Tumblr Q&A with Maas tonight could get super ugly real quick? This fandom HAS kind of gone off the deep end. haha

Definitely

This Fandom has Gone Bananas

And no offensive Sarah needs to choose her words wisely otherwise she really have more pissed off fans.

I hope she doesn't because I still want to read the books... unless Queen of Shadows is badly written and how much of a brat Aelin turns into.

I heard that she goes back to her bratty self from the first book but some much worse. I hope not! She's one of the strongest female characters out there!

It's hard when most people got spoiled and they didn't like what they heard

Very True


message 915: by Em (new)

Em I was a hardcore Chaolin shipper.

After reading the chapters and google preview, I want Aelin far away from my precious Chaol.

I am not sure if I can talk about spoilers here.


message 916: by [deleted user] (new)

I heard something happens to chaol that prevents him from feeling his legs... Tell me it's not true!


message 917: by Em (new)

Em This is really spoilerish, I'm sorry! I don't know if we can post spoilers here.


message 918: by Noris (new)

Noris | 574 comments I don't know, there're a thousand people outside that just wanna screw up with spoilers, bad comments, lies and even more just in order to give troubles to the author and ruin all the sales. It use to happen, you know that the authors give us some quotes or little spoilers to their social networks or to the editorial website. For examole City of Heavenly Fire, each spoiler was certificated by Cassandra Clare. Perhaps I'm wrong but as far as I know, Sarah has just given the fandom some quotes, interviews and the first 3 chapters, everything else is not that trustworthy. I know we all want QoS so so badly, but we shouldn't take points like I don't like Aelin, or I don't like Chaol I don't want him/her with.
First, cause is not worhy.
Second cause we are not giving value to Sarah's work.
Third, cause that talks really bad about us like readers. We should let the author surprises us. Then, if we don't like After reading, we can take whatever choices we want.

By the way, this isn't about giving those people the chance of ruining the book and sometimes the author reputation.
Let's just wait and read, even if the wait is miserable


message 919: by Em (new)

Em I read the first sevem chapters on iBooks and the final chapters on Googlebooks and amazon.
Seem like reliable sources to me haha for the first time, I wish they were wrong


message 920: by Noris (new)

Noris | 574 comments Ohhh I think I'll read them too. I'll look for them in a while.


message 921: by priya (new)

priya (gpriyaa) Spoilers about chaol have destroyed my entire view and excitement of QOS.

I really don't want SJM to ignore the character development Aelin and chaol went through in HOF (because both of them had major and necessary character development), and I'm worried that she will.

I'm definitely going to be in a state of panic until I've fully completed QOS (then the way things are going I see myself in rage mode)


message 922: by priya (new)

priya (gpriyaa) Also can someone tell about the fake review/s that people have been talking about because I'm curious and have venter read them/it


message 923: by Lydia (new)

Lydia (greciandaisy) | 174 comments I think everyone is just WAY TOO EXCITED about this book and it's getting to them. I'm not taking anything as canon or completely true until I have QoS in my hands. I really hope people don't hate on Sarah because this is a great series and CLEARLY we are all thinking about it constantly if we're on here reading and discussing feelings basically everyday lol! And idk if anyone has mentioned this way back in the thread or not but I'm currently rereading HoF and when Manon goes to the Spiders for their silk, the Spider tells Manon that a "Wine colored hair" Girl overthrew the last High King. Does anyone else think this is TOTALLY ANSEL? Her and Manon will probably face off at some point! xD

Yeah it's not that... it's all because of reviews coming out and some are a little biased I heard (or did I read it wrong) and people are getting spoiled.

I don't get why people want to read spoilers though, they are out of context and we don't have the whole book to explain ANYTHING that's happening. It's just foolish to get so upset over rumors and biased reviews because someone may or may not have read the actual book early and is mad that it's not EXACTLY what they wanted....well I mean come on there are 2 books left so not all of our questions and outcomes are going to be fulfilled yet! I haven't read any spoilers so I can't say how I feel about their content, but I really think I'm going to like QoS no matter what.


message 926: by [deleted user] (new)

I can't help but read them... for the past week they been blowing up on tumblr... it was hard not to see them... I just hope Aelin doesn't turn into a brat again


message 927: by Lydia (new)

Lydia (greciandaisy) | 174 comments I only have a FB so I don't have to worry about those things, lol. I've tried to steer clear of anything since people have been talking about spoilers blowing up for the past few days. And Celaena/Aelin was always a slightly self proclaimed brat, but I can't imagine her being all whiney and immature, she's not like that and I don't see why SJM would suddenly make her so annoying. Maybe that was someone's opinion because there were upset about possibly Rowaelin happening in QoS (this spoiler unfortunately I have kind of seen hints of) :P


message 928: by Em (new)

Em Neona, Aelin is bratty in the chapters I read. She might become better later in the book (I didn't read everything, so I can't judge), but as of right now it's just a big mess.

Yes stay way from tumblr! I don't want another fan war to start on it!


message 930: by Liz (new)

Liz | 172 comments Why do you think she's bratty Em? I've read the chapters and I don't feel that way at all.


message 931: by Ale (new)

Ale (bookishunicorn) Funny, cause I read those chapters too and found Aelin to be just as cool as always. Kind of interesting people can look at the same thing differently.
Yeah, stay away from tumblr people, it's a mine of QoS spoilers.


message 932: by Em (new)

Em Liz, basically these are my thoughts http://onehundredandonebooks.tumblr.c...


message 933: by Sandy (new)

Sandy (bookblubbs) | 116 comments Because she's reading with anti-aelin glasses on
And refuses to admit she's wrong
Since she's been complaining this whole month
When nobody really cares abt her opinions abt Aelin rowan and chaol anymore


message 934: by Jess S (new)

Jess S (mintchip) | 267 comments I seriously can't stand myself right now I'm so excited for this book…this is like being a 5 year old in anticipation of Santa's presents. I'm not even sure I was this excited for the Harry Potter books and i went to at least 3 or 4 midnight release parties for those books. And as the days get closer I'm almost dreading them cuz I know I'm gonna read this book so fast I'll have like 363 days until the next release! I'm praying Sarah has the characters stay true to themselves and that no one major dies in this book, although I am really worried about Chaol and Aedions fate. I actually am more worried about Aedion…Aelin has so many freaking protectors that I'm worried Sarah be like, eh he's expendable.


message 935: by Em (new)

Em Sandra, honestly, what have I done to you? Do you want some cookies?

Also, how could I be anti aelin when I literally used to ship her with my fav?


message 936: by Em (new)

Em Also, it seems like you totally care aboutmy opinion, since you always come to every thread I comment just to bash me


message 937: by Sandy (new)

Sandy (bookblubbs) | 116 comments ok


message 938: by Liz (last edited Aug 18, 2015 08:44PM) (new)

Liz | 172 comments Well, we'll have to agree to disagree because I found their reactions to each other to be pretty spot on. More or less summed up here

@ Jess S I think all of the waiting is driving people crazy. But have faith in Sarah! She has yet to disappoint us.


message 939: by Em (new)

Em I couldn't open the link on mobile for some reason, but yeah, agree to disagree :)

This is exactly how I feel right now! UGH THE FANGIRLING IS KILLING ME! <3 <3 <3


message 941: by Lexie (new)

Lexie I am not assuming or believing anything until I read the actual book. I wish to decide for myself. As people say, this isn't even the final book so anything can happen after it. I absolutely can't wait for the book, but I am waiting until it comes out in stores and I have it in my hands, no time before.


message 942: by Ruby (new)

Ruby | 26 comments I'm so excited for the new book, I'm am going to avoid tumblr like crazy because of the spoilers that they post up there. Ahaha fingers crossed for Rowan and Aelin to end up together and for Aelin/Celaena to continue to be badass as usual. I don't really have any worries for the part about Aelin/Celaena because Sarah J. Maas will not let us down.


message 943: by Ale (new)

Ale (bookishunicorn) Same, Ruby. Sarah has not let me down at this point, so I trust her ;)


message 944: by priya (new)

priya (gpriyaa) In that chaol and Aelin scene, I think they both brought up really good arguments, but I was kind of leaning more on chaols side **QOS spoilers** because I agree with his decision to not tell Aelin about the towers. I really don't think he should because as Chaol stated, Aelin is really unpredictable and we can't be sure what she'll do with that knowledge (I also personally think adarlan is better off without magic because, if the world was even once again and a war erupted I think adarlan would easily fall, because adarlan is one of the countries with the least amount of magic, and has people that fear magic or are not used to it. So they would be at a HUGE disadvantage. Unless they had the magic wards up around their country only. Then they at least have a chance)


message 945: by Em (new)

Em Priya, yes! Aelin is completely unstable and unpredictable. If she doesn't change during the book, I don't know how she is going to make it into a good queen.


message 946: by Ale (new)

Ale (bookishunicorn) Okay guys, there is a freaking subject on Queen of Shadows spoilers so if you wish to discuss them GO THERE. Please. I know you clarified there were gonna be spoilers but use the right subject for people not to see this.


message 947: by Danielle (new)

Danielle (dalandanielle) | 233 comments OMG I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE WHO READ THE SPOILERS TT_TT. I don't know how to feel about the book. :(((


message 948: by Ale (new)

Ale (bookishunicorn) Danielle, of course you don't, you haven't read it. Wait until it's out so you can know how you feel about it ;)


message 949: by Danielle (new)

Danielle (dalandanielle) | 233 comments No I mean reading those spoilers make me a mess. TT_TT


message 950: by Ale (new)

Ale (bookishunicorn) I know, I meant to say don't let those spoilers change your mind. Just wait ;)
