Seduction in Death | Nora Roberts, J. D. Robb
post image

#IDLR #InDeathLongReadalong Hey! We‘re back in June for Book 13. This was the 1st In Death book I ever read-i had no idea it was a series (it wasn‘t as easy to search things online back then). But I fell for Eve and Roarke & the gang. We‘ll stick to our regular schedule of 5 chapters a week and 7 chapters the last week to finish. We‘ll check in on Sundays. Let me know if you want to be added or removed from my tag list. All are welcome to join!

ShananigansReads Well now I know why I didn‘t see any posts in May. I somehow missed we were taking a break. 🤦🏾‍♀️I look forward to seeing what everyone thinks of this one. 20h
Librarybelle Yay!! 20h

#LittensLoveACOTAR #ACOTAR #ACOSF Book 5: Ch.49-51: the dam finally broke - Nesta needed to cry and she needed to open up, both to Cassian and to Gwyn. She can start healing if she lets things out and stops bottling it all in. Her confessions made me sad - I love that SJM has taken us on her journey. Now she just has to apologize to her sisters and admit her feelings for Cassian. Easier said than done.

BarkingMadRead I am so glad she finally got all that out! Hopefully now she can heal! 20h
OriginalCyn620 Maybe the breakdown will finally lead to character development! And to her fully embracing her powers and her badassery! 19h

#LittensLoveACOTAR #ACOTAR #ACOSF Book 5: Ch.46-48: Eek-a pissed off Rhys isn‘t something to be taken lightly. Even Cassian doesn‘t joke with that temper. He grabs Nesta and gets the hell out of dodge. It sucks that he has to be in the middle. He loves his friends. He also loves Nesta(yes he does). Is she the Yoko of their group? I feel for Nesta - she‘s so angry and has a lot of self loathing. Can Cassian help her help herself out of that hole?

JenlovesJT47 I feel like they were rather harsh with Nesta because imo Feyre absolutely deserved to be told. Whether she did it for the wrong reasons or not I do believe she told her at least partially because she thought she deserved to know. I feel bad for everyone really. 2d
BarkingMadRead This was such an emotional chapter! Feyre absolutely needed to know, which is probably why Rhys was so mad. Nesta did it completely wrong though. 2d
See All 7 Comments
OriginalCyn620 @JenlovesJT47 @BarkingMadRead I agree! Feyre needed to be told the truth about her pregnancy (Rhys should have told her immediately) but Nesta went about it all wrong, telling her the truth out of anger instead of genuine concern. And I just wonder if Rhys can get past his anger at Nesta now! 2d
LiseWorks Yep, she needed to be told, and Amren needed to be told off as well. And now the hike 2d
JenlovesJT47 On the one hand I can see the various directions everybody is coming from and why they feel the way they do. Nesta went about it all wrong but frankly I was tired of the way Amren was acting towards her. Nesta‘s self loathing is hard to watch. @OriginalCyn620 and yes it gives me anxiety having Rhys being SO angry with her. I want them to get along but I‘m a sucker lol what can I say. 😳 2d
vonnie862 I agree with all of you. Feyre needed to be told but Nesta did it the wrong way. 2d

#LittensLoveACOTAR #ACOTAR #ACOSF Book 5: Ch.43-45: all it takes to become a stair-master is a healthy dose of rage. I‘d have been mad too. Nesta already feels like she‘s outside the inner circle. For them to discuss her and vote on things that so greatly affect her, it‘s insulting. Especially by Amren. Amren has been bitchier I find since she lost her powers. You‘d think getting some on the regular would improve her mood. Apparently not. ⬇️

StayCurious Now what will Nesta do now that she‘s free? And how will Cassian get back in her good graces? 3d
OriginalCyn620 @StayCurious I agree with you about Amren. Not liking her since she lost her powers. I fully expect Nesta to raise some hell since she‘s so angry. And I think she has a right to be angry! 3d

mcctrish This ended at the worst point - I just know Nesta isn‘t going to go get drunk - but she‘s going to burn Velaris to the ground she‘s so angry 3d

vonnie862 Oh man, what chaos is she going to bring to Velaris? 3d
JenlovesJT47 Yes I said this yesterday but she‘s really getting on my last nerve. She‘s very bitchy to Nesta (and everyone else really). 3d

#LittensLoveACOTAR #ACOTAR #ACOSF Book 5: Ch.40-42: well Nesta is certainly full of surprises- now she‘s a kick ass blacksmith? I find it interesting that Amren was trying to convince Rhys to take his place as High King with these magic weapons. Doesn‘t that go against Rhys‘ character - to take ultimate power? Or would it really be for the good of Prythian? Or was Amren - in her way - testing him? ⬇️

StayCurious And what will Nesta‘s reaction be to them using her weapons? 4d

OriginalCyn620 There were definitely some revelations in these chapters. I hope Feyre votes to tell Nesta the truth about the weapons. It won‘t be pretty otherwise when she inevitably finds out. I‘m not sure how I feel about Amran‘s proposal. I don‘t think I really trust her. 4d
JenlovesJT47 Amren has been moodier than usual in this book, or is it just me? 😆 4d
LiseWorks I don't like the fact that they are not telling Nesta about the weapons. And what does it mean they are cursed. 3d

#LittensLoveRomance Ch.19-end: A great ending and a sweetly romantic one - although I do think Rory should have gotten more of his comeuppance. I hate when characters rise above 😉 be a bit petty once in a while. I liked that it was a fairy tale but with some realistic expectations. She will be a duchess - will she be perfect? God no - but she‘ll do her best. And Max loves her no matter what. ⬇️

StayCurious It was a fun romance with very likeable characters. and I do want to continue the series. Delia is such a fascinating Character- who will fill her heart? (edited) 4d
CrowCAH I got behind with my two chapters a day, since I have another ebook going at the same time. I‘ll be reading and catching up with week. 4d

BarkingMadRead I liked this one a lot, definitely gave me My Fair Lady vibes! I wish they had given Rory a little grief, he definitely deserved it 4d
mcctrish I really thought Rory was going to be more of a nuisance but it was a lovely sweet romance with a HEA (edited) 4d
TheSpineView I was hoping that there would be more consequences for Rory. The ending felt a bit rushed, but I do love a HEA. 4d

OriginalCyn620 Rory should definitely have gotten more comeuppance! But it was a sweet ending. Love that Evie made the grand romantic gesture! 4d
TheAromaofBooks I really enjoyed this one. Everyone got a happy ever after except the poor maid who just got used by Rory! 😢 I am also hoping to read the second book - I really like Delia a lot!! 4d

#LittensLoveACOTAR #ACOTAR #ACOSF Book 5: Ch.37-39: well - it‘s about damn time and also: 🪭🔥 - but I hate that Nesta is still all about holding herself back from Cassian emotionally. I felt so bad for him when he left afterwards. “Just sex” indeed. Good for Nesta finding her confidence more using a sword. She‘s getting there. The training was a good idea for her and all the girls.

BarkingMadRead She‘ll crack soon, she won‘t be able to hold back now! 5d
mcctrish @BarkingMadRead she will ✊🏻 5d

#LittensLoveRomance: Ch.17-18: Evie thinks her time in the Duke‘s world is over - and to be fair he hasn‘t clarified that he intends to marry her. He kind of just sent her out into the hallway after their liaison. But I do think she has her pride and that may get in the way of their romance. And so will Rory - I know he‘s lurking around, ready to pounce and ruin things. Hopefully Evie and Max are made of stronger stuff.

BarkingMadRead Ugh i just know Rory is going to make a final appearance and it won‘t be good! 5d

#LittensLoveACOTAR #ACOTAR #ACOSF Book 5: Ch.34-36: whew, these chapters were intense! And we finally see Nesta become Lady Death. I wonder if Rhys will let her keep that mask. An army of the dead may come in handy. Is Cassian ready for more of Nesta‘s dark power? Will he help her through it? Of course he will! That boy is over the moon. He was ready to jump in that bog after her. Wish we could all get us some Cassian.

BarkingMadRead Cassian is perfect for her, I cannot wait until they are fully together! 6d
mcctrish Despite wanting to keep them all safe I did love Nesta embracing her power - the image of her striding out of the bog with another head made me chuckle (edited) 6d

#LittensLoveRomance Ch.15-16: Evie is coming out of her shell and actually doing well in the duke‘s circle. But his past with Rebecca is a sad one and no wonder he doesn‘t want to make that mistake again. That is until he finally gives in and kisses Evie in the library (every romantic bookworm‘s dream 😏). He‘s gone over her - and he knows that if he wants her, he‘ll need to be honourable and propose. At great risk to his heart.

mcctrish This escalated quickly….. the Duke has no control and Evie is proving herself capable on a few levels 🤔 6d

mcctrish Also hearing Rebecca‘s story it‘s clear that Evie and Rebecca are not the same story as Duke seems to think 6d

LiseWorks So I'm waiting for Rory to make his move 6d
OriginalCyn620 I‘m glad the Duke told Evie about Rebecca, and I‘m glad we the readers got the full story. I too think they are very different women. If Evie and the Duke can get out of their own ways and talk it out, I think they can make it work! 6d

#LittensLoveACOTAR #ACOTAR #ACOSF Book 5: Ch.31-33: Eek! The end of that last chapter! Nesta had better summon her powers - and quick. Do we think that those autumn soldiers are under a spell or have they defected from Eris‘ command? Does Beron know that his son has betrayed him? And what‘s taking Cassian so long to dispatch of those soldiers and get back to Nesta? This bog is creeping me out!

BarkingMadRead This bog is the stuff of nightmares! I hope Nesta can get them all out of there, before she gets got 7d

#LittensLoveRomance Ch.13-14: well these two, honestly- they need to start being honest with themselves and not so damn practical. Although that was an amusingly awkward conversation after the kiss. I hope now that Delia is around, she‘ll be able to steer Evie into the right direction. Or at least glean what Evie really wants. And here‘s hoping Rory gets trapped down a well.

BarkingMadRead Rory drives me nuts! For him to think that he could get her for himself 🙄 i hope we get to see when he finds out she‘s broke 🤣 7d

Secondly, we get to see a glimpse of Nesta‘s power - and it has Rhys scared shitless - that tells you something.

Now the duke, that‘s a nice distraction- but it‘s good she‘s trying to remain cautious in her feelings for him, & in her expectations.

It‘s a shame she can‘t act better with her sisters but maybe there‘s too much history and trauma to unpack. Been there, Nesta, been there. She‘s slowly becoming Nesta with Cassian.

#LittensLoveRomance Ch.7-8: Shopping on a Duke‘s dime - must be nice (and she deserves it). But I‘m glad we established he‘s rich and not one of those aristocrats who‘s deep in debt (like so many were at the time) - Now we find that she can‘t dance - rather than having her scandalously join him at his empty house, why doesn‘t he just pay for a dance tutor?

#LittensLoveACOTAR #ACOTAR #ACOSF Book 5: Ch.16-18: just when we think Nesta is making progress…she picks a fight with Elain. Of all people. I love that Cassian won‘t let her back down from him and what‘s bothering her. He won‘t give up - I think that‘s what she needs. But it might put him in a bad position of fighting with Rhys, who is definitely not a Nesta fan. ⬇️

StayCurious The mating bond hasn‘t kicked in for Nessian yet, but when it does it will complicate things even more (at least, they haven‘t acknowledged it - but we‘re assuming it‘s there) (edited) 2w
mcctrish Cassian is aware, Nessa thinks she doesn‘t deserve it. Nessa isn‘t wrong that everyone walked on eggshells around Elain when she gave up on life but Nessa isn‘t helping herself by not acknowledging whatever the hell is going on with her power (edited) 2w

BarkingMadRead Yeah @mcctrish at least Elain suffered quietly 🤣 I think it‘s about to get really interesting 🤣 2w
mcctrish @BarkingMadRead I might start to struggle with only 3 chapters 😆 2w
BarkingMadRead @mcctrish I almost didn‘t put it down! I have two other books I‘m buddy reading, so I‘m showing restraint.. for now.. 2w
mcctrish @BarkingMadRead I‘ve got 3 chapter a days right now ( a 1, a 2 and this one) plus Sundays so I should stay in line 2w
LiseWorks @mcctrish @BarkingMadRead I'm like you guys, two other BuddyReads as well, and yes the restraint is there.😊 2w
OriginalCyn620 And let‘s not forget that Elain didn‘t finance her downward spiral with Rhys and Feyre‘s money! And extort rent money too. 😂 Nesta and Elain‘s lows were very different. I love how Nesta doesn‘t acknowledge that she is in her current situation because of her own actions. 🤦🏻‍♀️ But I think Cassian is right - Nesta is afraid and obviously shutting down and not dealing just isn‘t working for her. 2w
mcctrish @OriginalCyn620 and Rhys isn‘t that fond of her either - if anyone knows dark shit it‘s him 2w
vonnie862 Dang...Nesta has issues!!! She needs a punching bag or a really good f***. Excuse my language. 2w

#LittensLoveRomance ch.3-4: The wager is made. At least the duke is telling Evie about it. I was worried we‘d have a “She‘s All That” scenario where the main girl is unaware of being played. At least in this way Evie gets a bit of a say - if she says yes. What could entice her to do this, I wonder? Maybe to show people she‘s capable? ⬇️

StayCurious And that she‘s better than what everyone else- including her cousin - thinks? At least she went to finishing school so the duke won‘t be starting from scratch. How Now Brown Cow… (edited) 2w
mcctrish She does like the idea of a vacation …… 2w

willaful @StayCurious lol! Honestly the set-up is kind of meh. Also, what was that about the letters to Oxford? Why did that even come up, it seemed completely unrelated to the actual bet. 2w
OriginalCyn620 I‘m glad the Duke was honest with Evie too. Maybe she‘ll do it just for the hell of it! But it‘ll probably be to get Rory‘s attention. 2w
TheSpineView I'm too am glad the Duke was honest. At least he sees her potential though I hate that women are seen only for their beauty, hosting abilities and of course as a broodmare. A sign of the times I guess. When the Men were discussing the wager it kind of seemed like it was a forgone conclusion that she would so along with the makeover. What if she hadn't. I also think that Marjorie visiting and saying a nanny is an excellent job for a spinster... 2w
TheSpineView ... will help the a Duke. I suspect Evie will do anything she can to avoid that possibility. 2w
StayCurious @TheSpineView I can‘t believe Marjorie said “we have a room ready for you in the attic” 2w
TheSpineView @StayCurious IK! Wirh family like that who needs enemies. 2w
LiseWorks I found the 3 boys so immature 🙄 and bribing a Duke to write a letter so they can gather back in Oxford? They got kicked out because of their attitude of laziness and partying. 2w
vonnie862 I, too, thought this was going to be like She's All That. But I'm glad Max is being honest. I also liked that he tried to put his friends in their place. 2w
BethM As much as I love She‘s All That, i don‘t want it as a plot point so i was glad he told her! 2w
CrowCAH I‘m glad he told her! Reminds me of My Fair Lady; one of my favs! 2w

#LittensLoveACOTAR #ACOTAR #ACOSF Book 5: Ch.13-15: Well, what a way to end that chapter 😅🔥I think she and Cassian both would feel a lot better if they got each other out of their systems. But I also think their attraction is so deep and their relationship so complex that there‘s no getting each other out of their systems. When it does happen though - wowza. ⬇️

StayCurious I liked that they are having real conversations - Nesta is learning more about Cassian, his world, and herself. And she doesn‘t like what she is. But I see her improving already. 2w
BarkingMadRead Nesta is finally coming out of her shell, I think Gwynn is going to be super important to her 2w

BarkingMadRead Also. I think Nesta‘s power might be controlling the house, since nobody else knows anything about it 2w
mcctrish I like that Nesta is actually talking to people in general and that in itself is helping her realize her shit ain‘t special but the whole mate thing must feel bizarre 2w
StayCurious @BarkingMadRead ooh interesting theory 2w
OriginalCyn620 I‘m glad we‘re finally seeing a bit of character growth in Nesta! It‘s about damn time. And that she and Cassian are connecting. And when the sexy times finally happen, it will be pretty hot! 2w

#LittensLoveRomance: Ch.1-2: a refreshing start to this historical romance, set in the late 1800s. I appreciate that the duke‘s been married before (although that certainly is a sad story) and I appreciate that his cousin has a job and has been married 3(!) times. You can tell that society is not nearly as stringent as in say, an earlier regency romance. ⬇️

StayCurious Meeting Evie is a bit annoying - if only because she‘s clearly besotted with an idiot. Someone who will use his influence over her to get her to do things for him. He‘ll probably be a good politician now that I think about it. I hope she uses her common sense before she gets hurt. 2w
mcctrish It honestly felt like we‘d been thrown in mid-story, Rory is an idiot, the Duke is a snob, his ‘friends‘ are worse! No more book manhandling please 2w

StayCurious @mcctrish I‘m hoping for some real character growth haha 2w
BarkingMadRead I wanted to drop kick those dude bros. And also Rory. What a jerk 2w
TheSpineView I think we should just label them both what they are douchbags. At least Max apologies for his friends. In my notes, I wrote that Rory was a mooch and a lier. 2w
OriginalCyn620 I do like Evie though! Yes, she‘s crushing on a tool, but haven‘t we all at some point? 2w
LiseWorks Oh, the rich society of these days. These young pups are totally useless. Rory, as a politician, does sound like today's time. I'm not too fond of Evie. She sounds desperate at finding a husband to be looking at Rory. Or maybe she really doesn't know him anymore. Like he dropped out of school and went galavanting. 2w
vonnie862 I chuckled how the Duke saw Evie sticking her tongue out at him through the mirror. 2w
BethM @OriginalCyn620 yup! That‘s why we all wanted to punch him I think 😂 2w
willaful @LiseWorks I think it's hormonal. She seem a bit like a lovestruck teen.

I like that they're both starting out interested in other people, it could be fun to see them start to like each other
2w
rubyslippersreads Is it too late to join? I love bookshops, and My Fair Lady retellings are just loverly! 2w
StayCurious @rubyslippersreads welcome - we just started so not too late! 2w
CrowCAH What a great two opening chapters. Each is going after the wrong person, because we know how these romances work! lol 2w
julesG I'm sorry to say that I have only read the first two chapters so far, because I hate the Americanisms in the dialogue -yes, I am nitpicky like that. I tolerate it in descriptions, but I want my snobby English/British characters to speak the Queen's English. 🫣🫣 1w

#LittensLoveACOTAR #ACOTAR #ACOSF Book 5: Ch.10-12: finally Nesta pulls her head out of her bum. It‘s only one training session but every little bit helps. Cassian is so patient with her. I know he felt bad for saying that everyone hates her - even though Nesta provoked him. At least it seems they‘ve made their peace - for now. But what favour will she ask of him? Hopefully not something stupid like getting her wine. ⬇️

StayCurious I‘m interested to see more moments where they are kind and respectful to each other. Okay, and looking forward to the smut - not gonna lie. I mean - how could I not be - with all these descriptions of Cassian shirtless? 2w

#LittensLoveACOTAR #ACOTAR #ACOSF Book 5: Ch.7-9: well. I think we could all use a House that feeds us. I want to go to there. But I‘ll need to fly in - I probably couldn‘t do much more than 100 steps either. So Nesta is having decent human conversations - she meets two Fae females, Gwyn and Emerie. I think these characters will be important to her story. ⬇️

StayCurious And Cassian has discovered who the villain is amongst the human queens. And she just so happens to hate Nesta. That could pose a problem. 2w
mcctrish So Nesta learns she isn‘t the only one with a fucked up life. Again. I do feel badly for her, nothing has gone as planned or with any direction from her. But does she have to follow the same play book ad nauseum 2w

OriginalCyn620 I know this book is really long and we just got started, but I‘m past ready for Nesta to get her head out of her ass. She can have decent convos with strangers but then pulls the same childish crap with Cassian…it‘s like one step forward and two steps back. 2w
BarkingMadRead I‘m interested to see where this goes with the new villain and I would very much like Eris to lose some important body parts. 2w

#LittensLoveACOTAR #ACOTAR #ACOSF Book 5: Ch. 4-6: Poor Cassian. If he doesn‘t strangle Nesta for her behaviour, Morrigan certainly will. Someone needs to put her in her place. To humiliate him in front of the Illyrians was low. Even for her. I wonder what will finally make her decide to train and stop putting up walls to keep people (mainly Cassian) out.

OriginalCyn620 The meme is on point for today‘s chapters! 🤣 Nesta really is a bitch. I don‘t know who it was that said this yesterday, but she‘s not the only one going through some bad stuff, and most of them have been going through it for much longer. Nesta needs to get over herself! Her bad attitude is getting old. 2w

#LittensLoveSJM @LitsyEvents I wanted to post this early since I‘ve seen some interest. After we finish the final instalment of #ACOTAR, I will be hosting the #TOG series by SJM. I‘d like to say that I‘ve heard great things about the series but most say it takes a couple books to really get into the world. She started writing the series as a teen so keep that in mind. Also, there are different views on how to read the series: ⬇️

StayCurious there‘s a purist way that says read in order of publication, but if you want the most emotional impact, there‘s a romantic way of reading. I‘ve chosen to go for the emotional order. I will read the prequel novellas only after the first 3 books in the series. I will read Tower of Dawn before Empire of Storms (these books happen concurrently). I‘d love for you to join me starting June 13th! 2w

#LittensLoveACOTAR #ACOTAR #ACOSF Book 5: Ch.1-3: I hate Nesta. I‘ve always found her to be a miserable crone. But man, SJM really knows how to get my emotions roiling. Now I feel for Nesta, damn it. I mean, I feel for all of them, but finally getting into Nesta‘s head is so powerful. We catch a glimpse of what she‘s going through. Heavy stuff. A therapist would make a killing. ⬇️

StayCurious I hope her new tasks will help her hold things together. but I feel as though poor Cassian is the one being punished haha. 2w
mcctrish We finally get a Nesta POV and it‘s a whole lot to unpack - she just doesn‘t understand everyone has a lot of shit baggage and they‘ve made decisions on how to go forward. They have had more time to deal but Feyre hasn‘t had that much more. Why is Nesta‘s shit better than everyone else‘s in her opinion 🤷🏻‍♀️ poor Cassian is being punished or at least being made responsible for her fuckery 2w

#LittensLoveACOTAR #ACOTAR #ACOFAS Book 4:Ch.10-12: Rhys goes to see Tamlin and it does not go well-no surprise there. Kind of sad to see how far he‘s fallen though. I don‘t begrudge Rhys for saying what he did-even if he feels guilty afterwards, some things had to be said. Maybe Nesta should join Tam and they can be miserable together. B/c Nesta is going through it and not accepting help from her family. I think an intervention may be in order.

BarkingMadRead Nesta‘a behavior is worrisome! She is most definitely not ok. Az and Elain are still adorable 4w

OriginalCyn620 @mcctrish I think you‘re right about Nesta. She was a miserable cow from the beginning, and now maybe she‘s using being made Fae as an excuse to be even more miserable. And even if that hadn‘t happened, I‘m guessing she‘d still be a miserable cow. Some beings are just that way no matter what! 4w

maich @OriginalCyn620 I agree with you. I also didn't feel bad for Tamlin. Feyra didn't want to see him. Nesta is a bit special. She has her own moods. She was angry at first, she didn't want to deal with them. Then she helped them. And now she doesn't want to deal with them again. She's going round in circles. But their Inner circle is fun.

#LittensLoveACOTAR #ACOTAR #ACOFAS Book 4: Ch.4-6: I liked these chapters because we‘re getting to know our characters even more. I especially liked reading Feyre and Rhysand‘s scene because I just ❤️ them so much. I love how they take care of and respect each other. Morrigan‘s scene was sad. Her memories of the worst moments of her life brought to life was difficult to read. I still think Eris is a prick not worth trusting.

OriginalCyn620 I agree with everything you said @StayCurious! 4w
Read4life Great summary and I agree with what you‘ve said! 4w
vonnie862 Poor Mor. It's so sad how her family treat and view her. 4w
maich @StayCurious I agree with everything you wrote. Love reading Rhysand POV and others. Sad what happened to Mor. 4w

#LittensLoveACOTAR #ACOTAR #ACOFAS Book 4: Ch.1-3: We have three POVs this time - Feyre, Rhysand and Cassian- which I thought was neat. It‘s clear that things are not all HEA after the fight with Hybern. I appreciate that SJM acknowledges that people suffer from emotional trauma and PTSD and it doesn‘t just go away. All of our characters are dealing with things or keeping themselves busy in order to avoid. ⬇️

StayCurious Will they be able to celebrate the Solstice as a family? Or will things get in the way? 4w
BarkingMadRead I hope they have an epic party, and I hope Nesta gets her head out of her ass 4w

StayCurious @BarkingMadRead haha that might be asking a lot! I loved how Rhys was like “Nesta is Nesta.” Someone doesn‘t like his sister in law! 4w
OriginalCyn620 I‘m loving the multiple POVs this time around! But in fairness, I do love books written in that style. After everything they all went through in the war, I expected there to be some trauma to be dealt with, of course. I hope they can come together and celebrate the Solstice! But if not, will that be the set up for the next book? 4w
LiseWorks I also like to see different points of view. 4w
vonnie862 I really liked reading Cassian's point of view. This is perfect setup for book 4. 4w
Read4life I agree that the multiple POV writing is great. I love getting Cassian‘s POV. No matter what happens, I think the Solstice will be wonderful to read about. This group certainly isn‘t boring. 😊 4w
maich @StayCurious I agree with Rhys. "Nesta is Nesta"?Sarah knows how to write stories. War leaves consequences and it is right that characters face them. She has already described this well in Book 2 after Under the mountain scene. 4w

#LittensLoveACOTAR #ACOTAR #ACOFAS Hey guys! On to the next in the series. Some say this is book 3.5, some say 4, some say it‘s a novella - I prefer to think of it like a BBC Christmas special. Either way, it‘ll be fun to dive back into the world of the Inner Circle. It shouldn‘t take us too long and we‘ll read 3 chapters a day (or feel free to read at your own pace). Let me know if you want to be tagged on my daily posts.

BarkingMadRead I‘m in!! 1mo
mcctrish It‘s absolutely a BBC Christmas special 1mo

#LittensLoveACOTAR #ACOTAR #ACOWAR Book 3: Ch.78-end A very good wrap-up - with some things still left unsettled (those pesky mortal queens!) but progress being made. Feyre‘s trying to keep her promise to the Suriel and trying to make the world a better place. I‘m looking forward to the next book and more adventures with our friends - here‘s hoping my emotions can take it! I will post a reading schedule for Book 4 shortly.💕

StayCurious All in all I loved this book - it had everything you want out of a mid series story and it escalated things in a way that really kept my attention. 1mo
JenlovesJT47 I loved it. Already started the next one, please tag me once you start posting. Thanks for organizing! 🤗 1mo

mcctrish I‘ve read ahead to book 4 but I will follow along with you and I am going to save ACOSF to read with you 1mo
BarkingMadRead Is it bad that I want Elain and Azriel to be a thing? Sorry Lucien 🤷🏻‍♀️ 1mo
StayCurious @BarkingMadRead maybe they‘ll be a throuple!? Can that be a thing? 1mo
BarkingMadRead I mean, why not 🤷🏻‍♀️ 1mo
LiseWorks Oh my, a trouble is a thing lol 1mo
OriginalCyn620 @BarkingMadRead I kinda do too! At one point, didn‘t Rhys say that sometimes the mating bond isn‘t accepted by the female? I don‘t have anything against Lucien, but I think I like Elain and Az as a couple better. 1mo
OriginalCyn620 I did really enjoy this installment and I already have the other books ready to go! Thanks for hosting @StayCurious! 😄 1mo
BarkingMadRead @OriginalCyn620 yes! He did say that, and at the time I felt bad for Lucien, but now I feel bad for Az 🤣 1mo
TheAromaofBooks I really enjoyed this one!! I finished it in like 3 days instead of sticking with the schedule, but it was super fun to see everyone's thoughts and all your fantastic memes!! 😂 (edited) 1mo
vonnie862 Another great read! 1mo
StayCurious @TheAromaofBooks thanks haha it‘s fun picking them out 1mo
maich It was fun to read with you guys. I loved the book. There is so much suspense and unpredictability in this book. I will love to see Elsin with Az too. 1mo
maich Will be read first 4.book A court of silver flames or 3.5.book A court of frost and starlight. Friend who already read it said that is better if we read 3.5 before 4. Since the events are in chronological order and 4.continues from 3.5. 1mo
StayCurious @maich we will read a court of frost and starlight first. I will post it later today 1mo
maich @StayCurious ok. Can't wait. I really enjoy reading with you. Thank you for hosting. 1mo

#LittensLoveACOTAR #ACOTAR #ACOWAR Book 3: Ch.75-77: well thank the cauldron things turned out okay. I was getting ready to riot! Why do you have to toy with my emotions SJM!? Rhys…giving everything- so like him. Such a great character. And Tamlin finally moving on - redemption there I think. We‘ll finish the book tomorrow since there‘s not much left.

BarkingMadRead Omg my heart legit stopped! This was not ok! 1mo
mcctrish I was ready to throw my book and walk away 1mo

JenlovesJT47 I stared at it in disbelief for about 30 seconds, teared up then immediately sped read the rest of the book! 😆 1mo

#LittensLoveACOTAR #ACOTAR #ACOWAR Book 3: Ch.72-74: Okay, I had to put down the book for a sec. WTF Amren!? Do we give her the benefit of the doubt? Or does she have her own motivations at this point? I was shocked but maybe I shouldn‘t have been. We can‘t forget that Amren is not like the others and never has been. Also, I‘m kinda loving Nesta now - it has come full circle and I want to see her story with Cassian. ⬇️

StayCurious And do we think Elain was able to actually kill Hybern? Or will he resurrect himself? 1mo
mcctrish Blindsided by Amren 1mo

BarkingMadRead Omg I am so mad at Amren right now, wtf?!?!? 1mo
OriginalCyn620 Definitely a twist with Amren! 1mo
Read4life It was put the book down or throw it. I placed it down gently. No books were harmed in the reading of these chapters. 😉 1mo
maich OMG😱 Why Amren did that? Nesta and Elain are badass! I like them. 1mo
vonnie862 Go, Elain!!!! 1mo
LiseWorks I'm with you all. I was so shocked by Amren! 1mo

#LittensLoveACOTAR #ACOTAR #ACOWAR Book 3: Ch.69-71: these chapters were filled with highs and lows and death blows and minor triumphs. The battle - Hybern - still feels like a foe they cannot conquer. That cauldron is brutal. They have to defeat it first. But it might fall to Feyre and Amren alone. ⬇️

StayCurious I was shocked that her father arrived - I kinda thought he‘d flaked tbh. A nice surprise. And to get Vassa‘s and Drakon‘s forces too - but will that be enough? I sense more doom and gloom before it‘s done…also RIP the Bone Carver 😢 (edited) 1mo

vonnie862 I'm glad her dad pulled through! 1mo
Read4life More tension and action really well written. 1mo
LiseWorks I was so surprised that her dad showed up. A good guy, after all. It was upsetting to see the bone carver die. 1mo
OriginalCyn620 Did not see that twist with their father coming at all! Such a surprise! @Read4life totally agree with you 💯 1mo
maich What a surprise. I didn't expect their father to come. This war is really tense. Well described. I cannot put the book down. 1mo

#LittensLoveACOTAR #ACOTAR #ACOWAR Book 3: Ch.66-68: we finally learn Mor‘s secret and the reason she plays with Azriel‘s feelings sometimes. Can Az handle the truth? Could the rest of the Inner Circle? I hope Feyre‘s excursion to get the bone carver pays off. I wonder at what all she saw in the mirror? I hope her monsters really tear into the Hybern army. And hopefully this time when she disappeared- she left a note.

vonnie862 I'm glad Mor came out but I don't think it was nice of her to play with people's emotions like that. 1mo
StayCurious @vonnie862 definitely not for 500 years 1mo

BarkingMadRead @vonnie862 yes! I was thinking the same! 1mo
OriginalCyn620 I agree, but also, Mor was in a horrible position. I‘m not saying it excuses her behavior, but I can see how she felt she had to protect herself. But I‘m so glad she felt she could trust Feyre to tell her story to. I do hope that at some point she can come clean with Az. 1mo
maich Definitely she can come clean with Az. She can't play with emotions like that. What's with this mirror? I was expecting something a bit more scary. 1mo
