Was this horrible or a guilty pleasure?

I heard something about floating in the sky and I ran far, far away

Umm... I don't even know. I think they crashed into the roof of a house... while doing it. They had better pay that family

Thank God. Can you imagine looking up...

Is it a bird?
Is it a plane?
No, it's two fae banging


I'm pretty sure that's a quote from a Cindy video


message 6: by [deleted user] (new)

😂cindy's videos are the best

and I'm definitely not reading acotar anytime soon 😂 it's probably not very appropriate for my age (then again i know someone who read it who's my age) but honestly it doesn't sound very interesting

August (readwithaugust) | 54 comments honestly I don't understand why these books are categorised into YA Fantasy instead of Adult fantasy –_–

same T=T


the bard (ken97) | 836 comments i rated the first book 2 stars honestly just because i semi enjoyed the climax sith the alaskan bull worm and such, but acomaf got 1 STAR, and it's the highest rated book on gr i've ever read... yeah, no, definitely not continuing. i was expecting a really good fantasy bc everyone kept raving but i will NEVER be reading sarah j mass AGAIN... someone should have told me it was adult :(


the bard (ken97) | 836 comments poor 13 yo me will forever be scarred by that scene and the bad writing

Exactly my thoughts

OMG SO TRUE!!!


evie   ˎˊ- (evlovesyou511) I mean, I liked the second and third and I've yet to read the fourth.
But I also think that people really don't know the age range for YA. It's around 17. So people keep saying that this should be adult/new adult, but really you shouldn't be reading YA if you're not okay with a little bit of smut, or at least intense kissing.

I always thought YA was ages 13 through 18 or something.


message 15: by Elizabeth (new)

Elizabeth 13 through 17 I'd say...which I think is actually a large gap. A 13 year old and 17 year old (typically) aren't going to want to read the same books. I think I watched a Booktube video that argues this.

I think maybe it's 14-17/18.
I don't know, but I do know that ACOTAR is older YA.
Banging in the sky?
Really?

Please don't mention the sky banging. *scarred*


message 18: by [deleted user] (new)

hello people who have read this book.
if i bought a copy of it and my dad skimmed through it a bit, would he find pages upon pages of sex scenes or is there only a little bit? My dad usually just looks through my books in like 20 seconds for some reason and I don't want him to open to a random smut page-

The first book isn't so bad. The second book is considerably worse. The third book is... bad. ACOSF apparently has graphic sex every eight pages.


inês (ines_is) | 51 comments I agree with Sofia. The first book is actually pretty good, I loved the fantasy concepts. Now the second takes a huge turn for smutty real quick (which apparently I enjoyed a few years ago though ahah).... As for the third book I only watched booktubers make fun of it (most specifically Cindy), so I won't be the best judge of character.

Bhavya  | 710 comments I’m not a fan of this series.
I have a lot of reasons as to why I didn’t like it, but I respect others opinions. I can totally see why so many people love it. :)

꧁༺ L̴E̴X̴I̴E̴ ༻꧂ | 65 comments ACOMAF and ACOWAR were good. The first book and novella weren’t as great. I haven’t read ACOSF yet, just because Nesta wasn’t my favorite character. She was practically an antagonist to Feyre so not sure about a whole book just with her, although I liked Cassian. ToG is so much better than ACOTAR though IMO.
