Okay so wow? I have the read this series over the course of a few weeks and I have to say it’s definitely worth the read! The characters at the end connect in such a unique way that it creates this perfect dynamic between love and loyalty. I definitely recommend this series for any fantasy lovers.
I would read ACOTAR first personally as ACOTAR connects better emotionally to characters. ToG biggest flaw in my option was how long it took for characters to really form a connection, but ACOTAR does it perfectly. Acotar also connects better to the fea side of characters and goes more into detail so if you read that series first you might understand the fea world a bit better AND get the Easter Egg that is in this book (also for Crescent City, which I haven’t read, but I caught the Easter egg)
Overall 4.5/5
Series: 8/10
