    throne of glass is so insanely special to me and it will forever be one of my favorite series of all time if not my favorite. i literally think about dorian and chaol every day.

  • @alexwilliams6741
    @alexwilliams6741 Před 2 měsíci +34

    I completely agree with you about reading Assassin’s Blade first. I read Throne of glass and did not care for Celena and subsequently DNF’d the series. Years went by then I decided I wanted to pick up and try the series again. I read Assassin’s Blade first and it made me like and care for Celena so much more. I’m still getting through the series but I’m enjoying it more than I thought I would based on my feelings the first time I read Throne of Glass.

    • @BrittWarren201
      @BrittWarren201 Před 2 měsíci +1

      100%!! I'll never understand reading AB later on in the series. I didn't read it until after the 5th book, and I regretted it so much. I wasn't a huge fan of Celaena, and also didn't really give a crap for Sam 🥴🥴. I finally understood after I read AB.

    • @jessicajessica4392
      @jessicajessica4392 Před 2 měsíci +1

      I am in this situation, I read the first two books ages ago and decided to re-read it and I could not give two damn about Celeana (I have been stuck at 30% for book 2 because... she is honestly pretty boring to me). Maybe I should try to pick up the assassin blade to see if it unlocks the slump I have while reading Crown of midnight.

    You mentioning Say You Swear is EVERYTHING to me. I was never a reader growing up and actually struggled with comprehension and being able to imagine things in my head when reading. I started with Colleen Hoover and then on a limb i saw one of Sara’s old videos (like very old haha) and i downloaded it on KU and i had never read anything that made me feel like that. I now have over 600 books and am a HUGE reader. That book is so special to me. I know the writing is so Wattpad but the story was special to me. If anyone is reading this comment, this is your sign to pick it up!! Love your videos bestie!! 🩷

  • @rubymoon1487

  • @joe_tea9205
    @joe_tea9205 Před 2 měsíci +4

    As someone in the middle of reading throne of glass series
    I know it in my heart that The Assassin's Blade must be read first bcoz it makes you see her character and care about her story. I tried to get into this series by reading throne of glass first but it was hard to care for Celaena and the pace was quite slow...so knowing what i know from the assassin's blade made me stick by her side to the end and I complete agree with Destiny that its a more harder hitting/emotional experience ❤
