16:58 Final Thoughts & Wrap Up

When browsing for books to read, I always look for book reviews. A Court of Thorns and Roses is an adult fantasy series by Sarah J Maas (Fantasy and Fantasy romance author), author of the Throne of Glass series, A Court of Thorns and Roses (my all time favorite book series) and House of Earth and Blood (Crescent City). These being such popular book releases, I had to do a Guide to Sarah J Maas 2021 where you see all of my thoughts and important keywords for these series that may help you decide how to read Sarah J Maas books. Not going to lie, I lost my mind halfway through, lost my train of thought and got too excited about the possibility of Crescent City 2. Booktube has buzzed about these books… Let’s hear my thoughts. The video has a book talk / book review portion that is completely spoiler free. I hope you guys enjoy this one and come out with one more book to add to your TBR and some good book recommendations for 2021!

BOOK MENTIONED

[linneaconnery]

Ik people shit on ACOTAR but it got me back into reading, and I still think about it daily, I genuinely care about those characters and the series got better as it goes on, Court of Silver Flames has been my fav so far

[rosemacdonald]

Everyone seems to say "wow, 8 books, that's a big commitment!" Whereas for me, I'm like ONLY 8 books?! Anyone with me on this one?

[aszx]

Crescent city is the best so far for me bc the story feels solid in just one book and im eager to the next installment. But ToG series i found myself so attached to every characters on it bc of the long journey in those 8 books. it really needs such a big commitment to finish this series lol.

[sarahleppert]

I loved Tamlin in the first book but knew that Feyre & Rhys would be a thing and was soooo sad... but then I read book two and was embarrassed for liking Tamlin at all 🙃 it just goes to show how well Maas changes her story truly through the eye of the main character as things happen!

[triplethreatmtw]

I honestly love that she has the characters find multiple loves. I feel like we grow and change as people and these series reminded me how we're allowed to love multiple people throughout our lives depending on where we're at ourselves. Also just found your channel and it's awesome!

[lilywalker]

When she said Crown of Midnight ends on the biggest cliffhanger imaginable, *I felt that.*

[chantalcastro]

Ah yes the long awaited beginners guide to SJM 👏 I finally finished the TOG series and OMG!! THE CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT IS UNMATCHED!!!! Like no person goes unnoticed 😭 immediately purchased the ACOTAR series because there’s no way I couldn’t.

[lindsaygarcia]

I don’t know if it’s just me but I LIVE for mels chaotic intro

[Peppahzwithaz]

ToG is my absolute favorite - the character development is absolutely amazing.

[alisha]

Starts reading throne of glass series immediately 😍

[moab]

I already know everything there is to know about Sarah and her books, but will I watch this anyway because Mel + SJM = amazingness? Yes. 🤩🤩🤩🤩🌙🌙🌙🌙

[hazelm]

heir of fire, acosf, and cc are my fave sjm books. i got so engrossed in hof that I lost track of time, loved it SO MUCH. cc is such a great book too, the last 200 pages have so much going on and I really enjoyed it. with acosf, the character growth that it shows is amazing (also love the friendships). I've found that personal growth is a really big thing I love in my books, especially with these 3.

[luizalavie]

honestly, because of you I started to read throne of glass and I became obsessed with miss Sarah and now I'm reading a court of silver flames, thank you for that!!!

[ItsMeRuffles]

I’m halfway through a court of thorns and roses and I am OBSESSED!! Can’t wait to read all these other books

[mandystewart]

I've just finished The Throne of Glass series and completely loved it. I listened to all the books on Audible and the voice acting and storytelling was fantastic! I'm about to starting reading A Court of Thorns and Roses.

[kassidy]

🥳 PERFECT timing, because I’m currently trying to read all of her book series hehe... which were unfortunately just catching dust in my shelve 😅
I do really love how she talks about mental health issues... especially in ACOMAF, incredibly done :D

[frejamorrison]

I recently bought ACOTAR and I am so excited to start reading! I’ve heard so much about it and you have made me want to read it even more! ❤️🌙

[macielizabeth]

I love all three of her series. I read ACOTAR first then Throne of Glass which I’m currently rereading and then I finally read Crescent City. ACOTAR is my favorite series….ever, and I have to say that it got me out of a super dark time where I felt like I would never be happy again and as cheesy as it sounds, ACOTAR made me happy. So I feel like I owe a big debt to Sarah. Also I LOVE her characters and her world building.

[Chopperchicjones]

Read the whole series in 3 weeks!! Now I don’t know what to do with myself! I fell in love with this world!!!!

[abbimarie]

i found crescent city at target and decided to pick it up on a whim....never heard of SJM. and i GREATLY enjoyed every moment. this series has literally got me back into reading. i have not put it down, never once found it boring or too world building like people say. EIGHT HUNDRED PAGES i practically swallowed like i wish it was LONGER. i ordered sky & breath only 300 pages into earth and blood because i just knew....all i can say is i will 100% be reading every single book SJM has published after this because i cannot get enough of her work. honestly.
