Howl's Moving Book Club discussion

Pre-prep :)

Right here we go again!!!
Because ACOMAF is such a ginormous book, there's going to be ten sections. Lets do this...

Section 1: Chapters 1-6
Section 2: 7-12
Section 3: 13-17
Section 4: 18-22
Section 5: 23-31
Section 6: 32-37
Section 7: 38-43
Section 8: 44-49
Section 9: 50-55 (what a way to end this section)
Section 10: 56-end

Is this ok?

can't wait for S.9 :/

busy now, but I'll fill them in p4.

It's gonna be wild

How are you getting on so far? I have to be honest, this is definitely better than ACOTAR, although I have been tagging points that I think are problematic.
Honestly, I do think SJM's portrayal of Feyre's PTSD is written well, and I really felt like I was Feyre when reading it.

yeah. I agree with you on that point. i like the plot so far, it's just the editing (mainly the dashes that I'm now noticing lots of) that's letting me down a bit. and the intimate stuff.
god, i physically can't with Ch. 2. can't wait for Ch. 55, I tell you.

also, can you edit the title? it's really bugging me that ACOTAR is spelt wrong.... :(

I no nothing about this book and dont own it, but whats important about 55?

you'd have to read it to find out.... ;)
do you have an intent on reading it?

A Court of Thorns and Roses is essentially like a beauty and the beast retelling, I've heard. essentially, a human girl gets 'kidnapped' by a fae. and that's putting it lightly...

Chapter 55 is a bit....spicy

a bit is an understatement. i swear there's also some kind of foreshadowing going on nowish about stuff that's thought/said in Ch.55

I’d like to announce something embarrassing about Chapter 55 right now. So while I have not actually read ACOTAR, my friend, in the library, as a dare, read it. Out loud.
I’m unsure why I shared that, but yeah

acotar, or acomaf? acomaf is very much more.... inappropriate for a younger audience... so I'm just assuming it's acomaf?

Yeah it was ACOMAF. I’m surprised they haven’t banned us from the library tbh

wow. and yet I have no idea how I haven't yet been banned from my school library or the public library (to be fair, I know all of the librarians, which I consider an achievement in life)

they call my and my friends 'the three musketeers'

i wonder what you did to deserve that...

I don't know if I have it in me to read ACOTAR like ever again there was just wayyyy too much ~spice~ for me lol but nice story Paris

Final thoughts Zaynab?
I wrote most of it in my lazy review.

The plot may be good - ignoring all the problematic characters - but the worst thing for me was the aboslutely appalling writing, as you well know. The grammar, the writing mistakes, the repetition, the discrepencies - it's almost as if this book hasn't been edited.

I think the ending is good. I like a handful of characters. I guess I just feel like, for me, it could have been done so much better, and without the problematic relationships (view spoiler)[- both Feylin and Feysand. Rhys literally does so much behind her back without telling her and uses her; he invades her mind and intrusively reads her thoughts. I just don't think it's particularly healthy. (hide spoiler)]

Sorry to be so negative hahahaha. When would you like to read ACOWAR?
