I have only colored two pages so far, but I love the lay-out. The book has on one page a few words from whichever book and has the book listed. And on the other page they have the actual picture that you color!
There are some really beautiful pictures to color in this book and I think anyone that loves the book series will love this book! ♥
I'm marking this as finished and every time I finish one page, I'll post it in my "review" :D I do have a couple issues with this though. Nearly every female looks the same and so does every male. You can't distinguish them unless you read the description. Also, some of the drawing is a bit sloppy. There are some stray lines in places and then there are places where there are lines missing that create discontinuities in the picture. I also wish the outlines weren't so dark because I like to try to color so they appear as realistic as possible. Unfortunately, due to the dark lines, the pictures still appear cartoonish, no matter how hard I try. That being said, all the pictures below are pictures that I've colored. Please enjoy :))
Sadly for this one, I went to outline Aelin's eye in pen and it smudged :((
I totally forgot I removed my review of this last year.
Basically, I was never going to buy it since I'm not a big fan of colouring in. However, I saw it in Target one day (you should know my local Target is pathetic and they hardly ever have any books, etc in) so I took it as a sign that I needed to buy it. Plus I thought it would look weird if I owned the ACOTAR one without owning this one too. These drawings are honestly incredible and so so beautiful. I'm jealous of the amount of talent these artists have.
It is so beautiful! I could spend hours simply looking at the pictures (more than I already have). At first my intention was to use this book to remind me of what's happened so far, before reading Empire of Storms, since it depicts some of the best moments. However I now want to read aaaaalllll the books again. Immediately!
The art in this book is astounding. CAN WE TALK ABOUT HOW GOOD CELAENA LOOKS IN THIS THOUGH!? SHE'S SO PRETTY.
I hate colouring in because it makes me angry for some weird reason and to be honest.. I don't think I'll ever colour in this entire book. I couldn't even colour in one picture without wanting to cry with anger.
The quotes from the books in this are greeeeat. I haven't read the Empire of storms quotes yet in case there are some spoilers
One thing that kind of annoyed me was the way the artist drew Dorian and Chaol. They look nothing like the way I picture them. Dorian is cute in my head, not ugly. Chaol has a shaved head in my head (no idea why, it's always been that way lol) and not a mop of hair.
I don't colour at all, so I wanted this book simply to have it. I love the Throne of Glass world Sarah has created and just wanted to see from her point of view. And honestly, I AM BLOWN AWAY! I sat with a stupid smile on my face the entire way through it! I love it soooo much more than I ever thought I would! Reading the excerpts from each scene brought back all the feels and had me laughing. I am sooo happy I got this. I HIGHLY recommend it. You'll absolutely LOVE it!
Thank you soo much for bringing this world to life. Bring on ACOTARs colour book.
I've techincally read it, despite it being a colouring book. It's a great way to destress as well as finally have a visual for all the characters in this series.
Review First of all I have to say that the idea of a coloring book for a book that I have read is completely BONKERS! I am all for it! Let artists express their creativity. Let the reader (of course those who can color ^__^) bring it to life in the way they seem fit!
This adult colouring book trend has been irking me lately. Because quite frankly all you get on the shelves are coloring pages that help you relax. But what about a coloring page from a book you read. It only now comes up. Why? >.-
Anyways! When I heard that my nearest and most complete bookstore has a Throne of Glass coloring book I was so excited. I took it (last item of the kind on the shelf ^^;) and I was grinning the entire time. On my way home I was thinking of how I would color the pages (couldn't leaf it it was giftwrapped to keep the rain out). Then I showed it to Mada. For once my twin sister is not mad at me for something I've bought. :P And I let her color the first page and.... then the rest of the book.
I dunno if you know this of my sister but she is a very talented artist and a professional graphic artist. Here work you can see here on her Deviant Art account. She has tried traditional coloring at some point and these are her best works in that medium:
She hasn't read the Throne of Glass but she has heard me talking about it and I think she has a basic picture of it. Plus she can work miracles with the colors she has... which are some of the best. They're not Prismacolor (those are so expensive) but Faber-Castell and Staedler come very close to the quality.
But anyways she's gotten bored of that first page already and she's only done the skin and a bit of the background "I need to set up the atmosphere first so I know how to color the rest of the drawing" (Madda). It looks pretty. I don't think I can get her to color more than a page... so yey... the book is all mine. I can color... though it's past quite some time since I last did so :/ I'll update this review with the first page and how it looks like when she finishes with it :P
Anyway... this was just something trivial and nice to have around and maybe when I am not in the mood to read something I might pick up my pencils and color. I am not gonna color them in order... heaven forbid. And I am not going to color any of the ones from the books I have not read from the Throne of glass, namely Queen of Shadows and Empire of Storms.
It will keep my mind occupied for quite some time :)
I haven't read Throne of Glass yet because I decided to wait for her to finish the series but I'd love to have this one right now. I once checked her pintorest (I think) account and I loved the characters pictures she posted there, there were amazingly inspirational.
Das Buch war natürlich nichts im Vergleich zu der Reihe, aber es war nochmal schön einen kurzen Einblick in die anderen Bücher zu bekommen🍃 Die kurzen Szenen aus den Büchern und die dazugehörigen Illustrationen waren unglaublich gut✨ Manche Illustrationen wow 🤯 An sich war es nichts Neues, aber trotzdem ein gutes Buch um nochmal in die Throne of Glass Welt zurückzukehren🤍
Edit: Okay, so I flipped through the book and almost cried. Honestly, some of the illustrations could be better, but actually seeing the scenes from the book is what made me tear up. Especially the one with Celeana It was just as I imagined it.
I don't buy adult colouring books because as much as I want to, I know I'll eventually forget about it and it'll just be lying on my bookshelf forever incomplete.
But this...this book I want. SO BADLY. But it's $21.99 plus tax. My brain is telling me no, but my heart is telling me FUCK YES!
I have to admit that I picked this up, mostly because John Howe is one of the illustrators of the book. But taking a look at the pages, I have to say that I like almost all the work.
