***when talking about one of the books i said “mediocre scenes” and i meant to say MUNDANE, like slice of life kind of scenes***

A little inside knowledge from a former bookseller- when they list a book series on the shelf after it goes up by series it’s then alphabetical by title within series. So that’s why Assassins Blade is first. But I still do agree that you could read it first although it hits harder if you have more information about certain characters before reading it 😊

I'm so relieved to see CC ranking so high here, I'm on queen of shadows and already mourning the day it is all over, already read ACOTAR, so I am sooo happy there is something worthy to hold me over until the next release

I read the TOG series for the first time last spring and I actually decided to tandem read Tower of Dawn with Empire of Storms and ToD seemed more enjoyable to me that way. HOWEVER, a Court of Wings and Ruin is MY absolute favorite ACOTAR book. I can't believe it ranked so low for you wah

[Lifeonasofa]

Love SJM (I’m still reading TOG so can’t rate the series fully yet). But so far:
1. House of Earth and Blood
2. A Court of Wings and Ruin
3. A Court of Mist and Fury
4. A Court of Silver Flames
5. House of Sky and Breath
5. Throne of Glass
6. A Court of Frost and Starlight
7 A Court of Thorns and Roses

Fully expecting TOG to completely change all this.
Also, if SJM had given CC it’s own seperate trilogy before branching off, I think it would be everyone’s top. Like imagine 3 books giving that cozy book 1 vibe, falling in love with the city and the characters - would’ve been iconic.

Can you do a video flipping through you annotations please just, my brain needs it 😭

[emmaskapetis]

Finally someone who loves CC the most 🎉. It's seriously underrated for a SJM series. I've given all of three 5 stars. I love every book SJM has written though.

[JojosBookburrow]

😻😻😻loved the video! I’m so excited to read house of earth and blood. Can’t wait to see what happens!!

[athenasbibliotheca]

I think my top 5 SJM books would be:
1. Queen of Shadows❤
2. Empire of Storms🩶
3. Heir of Fire💚
4. House of Earth and Blood
5. A Court of Silver Flames

If I rank series as a whole, it would be similar. TOG>CC>ACOTAR

[pamjournalcreate]

Totally agree with everything you said about a court of thorns and roses, it was my introduction to sjm and i love it so much the first time around but not so much on rereads. But my absolute fav and most comforting of all is a court of mist and fury…

[danielle.c]

Where did you get these beautiful dust jackets? I’ve been looking all over but can’t seem to find ones that represent the characters the way I have them in my head like these ones!

[midnight-tomes]

omg ACOWAR being that low is tea. I always see Queen of Shadows as one of my favorite TOG but you are so right about the beginning like half of the book. I ~think~ this is my top 5 but I'm curious to see if I still feel this way once I reread:
KOA
ACOMAF
ACOSF
Heir of Fire
HOSAB

[valeriabailey]

I only own thrown of glass that I got when it came out and never read 😭, and started a court of thrones and roses and never finished)!! what is wrong with me.

[ravenhairedreader]

this is so hard but here’s my top 5!!

1) HOEAB
2) Queen of Shadows
3) ACOSF
4) Heir of Fire
5) Empire of storms


THAT IS SO HARD UGHHHH 😻

[spookymoogy]

Ruhn Danaan Crown Prince of the Valbarran Fae 😍😍😍😍😍😍

5.ACOWAR
4. KOA
3.HOEAB
2. HOSAB
1. ACOSF

[helenvanzetten]

I’m almost through Throne of Glass series and haven’t read Crescent City series yet. 😻

[natcommon]

I need to reread the ACOTAR series before I can give my offical ranking, but Crescent City is my favorite series by SJM, with HOSAB being my favorite. My least favorite book, atm, is ACOWAR. I was so bored. >.<

[hannahvbrekke]

I feel like you’re the first person I’ve ever seen that’s a crescent city girl before the others!

[kandi_canel.]

I've never read a SJM book yet!! I'm confused to where to start!!! 😻

[leoniereads]

Tower of Dawn is probably my least favorite book by SJM as well.🥲I think my top 5 are : Kingdom of Ash, Empire of Storms, A Court of Silver Flames, Crescent City 1 & 2. But it's so hard to pick.😇 I heard a lot of people say they think Empire of Storm is boring but I love it with my whole heart and I'm also a huge Lorcan fan/apologist.😍Also can we talk about how underrated Elide is ? she has become one of my favorites after EoS.😍😍☺I don't trust people who think Nesta is a b****, I love her.🥰OMG I'm soooo happy that you're a Hunt and Bryce fan as well. Hunt is one of my favorite fictional men ever, he is so underrated. 😍I really loved seeing your ranking and hearing about your thoughts you're so sweet and cool at the same time.💚💚💜💜
