Series I Won’t be Finishing #1

Series I Won’t be Finishing #1

November 27, 2016 Posted by angelreads Discussions, Features 13 Comments

series-i-wont-be-finishing-1

I find it really hard not to finish a book, let alone a series that I have already started. It’s something that I have been against for quite some time. But over the last couple of years, as I have been reading more books, I’ve learnt that I cannot love everything and sometimes I do have to give up. So today’s post is about some series that I most likely won’t be reading more of. 

Just a quick note, these are my thoughts and feelings about these series – please respect that. 

thorne-of-glass

Throne of Glass by Sarah J. Maas: If you follow me on Twitter, this might not come as a shock to you. I read Throne of Glass last year and I enjoyed it. I didn’t love it, but I was willing to find out more. But, then I started to read the reviews for the other books and the hopes that I had, disintegrated. I am not a fan of what Sarah does with her characters. I feel they do this flip personality wise and there isn’t an inch of who they were in the book previous.

a-court-of-thorns-and-roses

A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J. Maas: I loved A Court of Thorns and Roses, it was one of my favourite books last year. It was everything that I loved, however, I finished the books with some concerns. When the reviews started rolling in for A Court of Mist and Fury, I knew that the book wasn’t going to be for me. I am totally okay with a character changing who she wants to be with. But, what I hate is when the old romantic interests, is turned into a villain. And the new one, oh forget about all the horrible things that he has done. Sorry, that is me out. 

assisans-heart Mini

Assassin’s Heart by Sarah Ahiers: I was so looking forward to reading The Assassin’s Heart when I received it for review. And then I started to read it. It had some really good things going for it, but it fell flat and confused the hell out of me. There was so much going on, where things changed here and there. I don’t even know how Thief’s Cunning, will work out. 

What are some series that you won’t be finishing? Do we share any that is the same? Did you like this post? Do you want to see more? Let’s Chat!

    I might not continue with ACOTAR either. I thought the first book was enjoyable, but I didn’t really love it either. And like you said, then the reviews of ACOMAF started coming in. I just don’t think this book will be for me. Maybe I’ll change my mind in a few months… But right now, I don’t really have the intention of reading it.

    I always love posts like this! It’s incredibly interesting to see which series you won’t continue 😀

      I was really upset with ACOMAF, because I really wanted to read, I wanted to love it – but, I just can’t.

      Thank you!

    You know that I totally agree with those first two books after our hours of complaining about them together 😛 You totally put me off The Assassin’s Heart in your review. I know it caused you pain, but thank you for saving me from it. You’re a good egg <3

    I am so glad is not just me about ACOMAF. My sister was very pissed at the end of it because she enjoyed Tamlin. Everyone at my book club loved book 2, and Rhysand. I was like ‘ my opinión my not be age appropriate’. I like the author, just can’t get into her books. Had trouble finishing Throne of glass as well.

    Haters gonna hate, babe. As was just said in our group chat – life is too short to waste on things that don’t make you happy, and others can’t force you to be happy about them just because it’s something that makes them happy. Nope. Now that you’ve cleared your mind of these, you can make room to find things that you’ll absolutely love! ♥

    I’m not surprised to see SJM books on here, the whole character flipping and especially the love interest thing in ACOMAF is starting to really annoy me too. I wasn’t a fan of AH either!

      It’s just something that doesn’t work for me. It changes the whole essence of the character – and makes them a whole different person. Thanks for the comment

    Yep, I am with you on not finishing or reading any Maas books anymore. The love interest situation is just ridiculous, I don’t want to be led to one ship only to have it switch on me every book depending on the author’s whims and fantasies…

      It’s a waste of my time really. I am okay with people breaking up in books – cause that is real like, but they way that Maas does it. I just can’t deal with it. Thanks for the comment

    Those Sarah J. Maas books sound exhausting. I know everyone and their mother is obsessed with them, but I really really really don’t think they would be for me. I’m not much of a fantasy gal, and I also don’t like emphasis on romantic relationships (with some exceptions).

    I am right there with you on SJM books. I read the first two ToG books. I enjoyed book one but found book two annoying and slow. I have no interest in finishing the series. I really disliked ACoTaR. I’ve come to terms with the fact her books just aren’t for me.

Honestly I haven’t been a lot this year at all, es Honestly I haven’t been a lot this year at all, especially compared to what I normally read. Because you know life but I wanted to share some of my latest reads.

Yeah, this is what I wanted. I really enjoyed Vict Yeah, this is what I wanted. I really enjoyed Victoria Wilder’s Bourbon Boys series, and as soon as I heard she was writing a new series, around whiskey and women. Well, hell year. It took me a little bit to get into the book, but after a few chapters, I was hooked. 

Wyn is hiding, hiding from everyone, even when she is there. She is hiding behind so much, and damn, I don’t blame her. We don’t know everything from the start, but we start piecing things together, and my heart broke. And I was terrified for her. But she is a Crowne woman, and that means something. 

We’ve met Julian before, and while he intrigued me before, I am invested now. He is charming, secretive in the best way and will do anything at this point for Wyn. But he is also lost, and somehow he finds his way to Rumour and back into Wyn’s life. 

The romance is hot and steamy and everything that you want. The tension and chemistry in this one is high. Neither Wyn nor Julian wants to really give in or give up on one another, but a lot is standing in their way, honestly, mainly themselves. I just sat there giggling half the time because they are swoon-worthy. 

I would say this is the darkest Victoria Wilder book I’ve read, so double-check those trigger warnings before jumping in because there is a lot that happens. And I don’t think it’s going to die down any time soon because these Crowne women are badass, and I know things are only just getting started. 

Overall, Rumors & Whiskey is hot and sexual. The tension is dripping off the page, and then you are thrown into the terror and horrors of Rumour. You don’t know what is going to happen next, you don’t know who to trust, and there are so many more secrets that have yet to be revealed. I know I am ready for more. Are you?

Thank you to @atriabooksaus for an earc of Rumors & Whiskey 🥃. I’m in love.

March was a better reading month than February for March was a better reading month than February for me, and while I’m still stuck in my heated rivalry fanfiction era I managed to scrap out of it a little this month. 

I reread four books from the sweet omegaverse series and honestly had the best time. I also read two of my most anticipated reads of the year and had a blast. Sadly I did also have my first dnf of the year.

What did you read this March? Any standouts? What are you looking forward to reading in April? Let’s chat!
