ummm that's a good question. not entirely sure how to answer only because they're so different despite being by the same author and the vibes and story progression between both series are so different.
ToG is more fantasy with a touch of romance that focuses heavily on Aelin's journey, whereas acorat is more of a romantasy. it has fantasy and a lot of romance in it.

I think Fourth Wing is a little spicer than the first acotar book and the 2nd book acomaf is probably just as spice as Fourth Wing

@Juani I think you'll be safe with the first actor book because there's almost no spice just a little bit of steam. in book 2 there is a chapter that heavily emphasizes spice and the heat ramps up a bit in each book

@ReaderWhitehorn I think that's part of his charm though like he doesn't have much dialogue but captivate and commands so much of the scenes. and like his character presence speaks so much.

@readerwhitehorn is I had read AB first and I feel it helped me get into the story more. I also really liked Tower of Dawn and exploring a new world, I know it's not people's favorite and it's because Chaol is it a fan of favorite but that book made me into a Chaol lover lol I do feel that it didn't have to be that big of a book though lol
Rowan is most definitely underhyped he is my favorite SJM character Cassian is my second favorite.

@Reader Whitethorn I love your name lol

ummmm what was your fave and lest fave thing that happened in the series

@Juani and @ReaderWhitehorn ToG breaking hearts and bringing people together

I don't know why I'm not getting notification from this chat 😭
Goodreads sends me notifications from every other chat but this one, I had to look for this chat cuz I missed our conversation lol

it's like forum that you can post just about anything. there are subreddits that are like subjects and you can join them and post things about that subject. there a subreddit for all of SJMs books and then one that's for SJM

@Juani lmaoo I love that I did the same thing when I first finished it. I even downloaded reddit so I could get some more ToG stuff and talk to people who read the series lol

@Bre I did the audiobook and read it at the same time and it helped be stay in the story. the narrator is sooo good she does a great job!

it took me months to get I over ToG. it put me in the biggest book slump

I didn't think I was going to like it as much as I did. it was a lot better than I thought lol

but I saw that you're reading fourth wing now!! what you think about it so far

hiii I'm so sorry life got a little too much and I disappeared for a little 🙈

@Zekey when I started the series I started with AB and I feel it helped me get into it better.
HoF starts a little slow but it is so good and ends on a high note. there's a lot that happens and a lot of development

@Juani I think that was towards the end after the war

omg that song is perfect for Manon 😭😭

YEEES I've seen that video about Elide, Farasha, and Lorcan. the god that Elide and Lorcan are "connected" to/led by are lovers and Chaol calls Farasha Hella's (think that's Lorcan god) horse since she's so defiant and wild.
also Lord Lorcan Lochan kills me 😂😂😂 I also love and cried when he gave up his immortality and connected his life to Elide so that can live a life together 😭

my ranking is
1. KoA
2. QoS
3.ToD (I did the tandem read)
4. EoS
5. AB
6. HoF
7.CoM
8. ToG
