I did have one friend mention that the main protagonist is a "flawless" to the point of annoyance. Did any of you find that to be the case? I likely won't have too much of an issue with it, but I'm curious if others thought that as well.
Anyway, happy reading all! I'm thrilled to be starting this series soon!

- Latest Review: "Solaris Seethes (Solaris Saga book 1)" by Janet McNulty
IM SO THERE! But I actually managed to get to Empire of Storms which I think is the latest book (haven't started it yet but i did buy it). I was really in love with this series at first but as it went along I just kept noticing more and more things I disliked.Adela1209 wrote:Am I the only one who gave up reading this series?

I've started reading Assassin's Blade (the 0.5) and I love it, but I don't know if I'll continue reading the series...Does it get better?
I guess it depends on what you didn't like about it
I'm not a big fan of the romance stuff happening which is why it's taking me forever to even open the latest book (even with the clue that it might be the best book thus far), but it does get pretty interesting but that's like 3 books after Heir of Fire and I'm not a huge fan of having to read all that to get to the interesting parts. Will say Heir of Fire was the book I liked the LEAST in the series (it's also where a lot of things start to shift)

I never thought of her like that but now that I think about it I think I agree. I mean, she does have a lot of baggage but aside from that she is pretty much "flawless"

I started reading this probably 2 years ago and was completely in love with the first book and Assassin's Blade, two of the best books in the series as Celeana actually felt like a badass assassin to me. The second book was still a good read, but we did get to see more of her girlie side. Once I hit Heir of Fire I was just GONE. I really disliked what happened with some of the characters at that point and now I'm just continuing this series because I've invested so much time!! xD
I actually want to reread the first book and prequel but other than that not so sure

I am so glad to know I am not the only one that had to give up with this series. I thought there might be something wrong with me! This series gets so much hype, but there are better fantasy books out there.Adela1209 wrote:Am I the only one who gave up reading this series?

Saying this, the series was so promising, the first book seems great, I liked the main character as she wasn't the typical "damsel in distress" and she had something gutsy about her, but she also had a quiet, sensitive side, and liked reading and chocolate so she was a hit with me.
The second book was gripping and moved the plot along nicely but the end kind of turned it on it's head and the third did not improve. I did not like any of the new characters in the third book and they felt forced upon the reader, we did not see much of the previous characters we'd been following, yet the new character's points of view were messy and not very engaging. I'd like to know what happens in the end but I'm not in a huge rush to read them anytime soon. I'd read something by Sarah J Maas again, just not a fantasy.
