Feature and Follow #38


Alison Can Read Feature & Follow
This is a weekly blog hop hosted by the wonderful Parajunkee and Alison Can Read. Today's question is:

Q: What is a book you didn't like that all your friends raved about or what book did you love that wasn't popular?

Grave Mercy (His Fair Assassin, #1) Illuminate (Gilded Wings, #1) Throne of Glass (Throne of Glass, #1)
That's easy for me. I didn't enjoy Grave Mercy, Illuminate, and especially Throne of Glass , the way others did. I just couldn't get into either of the three. No offense to the authors because each were well written.

Pretty In Black (Pretty in Black, #1)
A series I love that doesn't seem to be really popular around the book community is Pretty in Black. I think the story is really interesting and Rae's a cool writer.

What about you?

  2. I really liked Grave Mercy, but I haven't read the other two, and don't really want to.

    I hadn't heard of Pretty in Black, so I'm going to go look it up! :D

  3. Thanks for visiting, I'm following back!
    I've always wanted to start with the novellas by Sarah J. Maas before digging into Throne of Glass. I have the first one on my e-reader and will try it out before I buy more.

  10. Hopping through. I loved Grave Mercy, but I've read quite a few reviews that absolutely hated it. So you're not alone.

  11. Haven't read any of those books. Remember Grave Mercy being really big but it didn't really grab my interest to want to read it.

  13. THANK YOU! I thought I was the only one who didn't like Throne of Glass. And let me tell you, I was so pumped when it came out. I pre-ordered it and everything! It wasn't what I expected at all and I thought the story and protagonist were terrible!

    On the other hand I just finished and loved Grave Mercy lol.

  15. Pretty In Black is new to me, but I did read Grave Mercy. I really liked it. I haven't read Illuminate or Throne of Glass. Not real sure about Throne of Glass either.
