5 Series I want to begin

May 2, 2014


The Daughter of  Smoke and Bone Trilogy by Laini Taylor, The Lunar Chronicles by Marissa Meyer, The Raven Boys by Maggie Stiefvater, Shadow and Bone by Leigh Bardugo and The Girl of Fire and Thorns by Rae Carson - Ok so I now that these series are massively popular and many bloggers adore them, but the hype is incredibly nerve wracking. Many of them seem so unlike what I usually read (Shadow and Bone and DOSM&B) which makes me think I might not like it as much as the majority. I've heard they are amazing books and it's convinced me that I need to jump on the bandwagon. Because 1. Despite being a step outside the comfort zone they do sound awesome and 2. all 3 of DOS&B and TLC are now out so I don't need to wait anxiously for the next one.
 
What do you think? Should I pick them up?

  1. These are also series I want to start (or continue)! I've read Cinder (which was great and with such a unique concept!) and Shadow and Bone (the world building was fantastic even though I was slightly underwhelmed, I still enjoyed it). I've also read The Raven Boys which was a good book... I REALLY WANT TO READ THE DAUGHTER OF SMOKE AND BONE! *cries*

  3. You should definitely pick up the Lunar Chronicles as each book is better than the last!! Shadow and Bone is also really good and I want to continue the series so badly ! :D x

  4. Oh Sunny I think you will adore the Cinder series, this one is sooo good! I loved Daughter of Smoke & bone as well, it's simply amazing. I'm reading Shadow & Bone at the moment and fearful that I don't think it's 5 stars like everyone else!

  5. 4 out of 5 of these series are on my own to read list, so I say pick them up simply because I want to. I can't say how good they are sorry. but if you were to start any start the ones that are complete is my advice.

  7. You definitely need to read the first three because they're SO good, especially The Raven Boys. I love Maggie Stiefvater's books! I'd love to hear your thoughts on The Girl of Fire and Thorns!

    Hope you get around to them soon, Sunny!

  9. I read Cinder and it's really amazing so I would definitely recommend. Currently reading Daughter of Smoke and Bone and I'm completely mind blown so far!
    I've also heard some great things about The Raven Boys and Shadow and Bone, but I haven't started them yet. :)

  10. Yes to them alllllll! The DoSaB series is epic! I have read the first two Lunar Chronicles and they are so fun. I loved The Raven Boys, did not like the sequel, but am still planning to continue with the series. I loved most of Shadow and Bone and thought the sequel was ok. And I too want to read Rae Carson's books!

  11. I've been really wanting to read the Shadow and Bone series, too, though I keep forgetting. I've read such amazing things about it and get incredibly excited about entering this world that sounds so amazing, then it slips my mind and just lingers endlessly on my tbr. I'm certainly going to have to work at reading it in a better way!

    I think there's still one book to come in the Lunar Chronicles- I couldn't get into the series, but I'm pretty sure there is a book about Snow White coming next, which might be the last one.

  13. I want to read most of these- especially Daughter of Smoke and Bone!! I've read The Raven Boys and didn't like it, but for some reason, I'm really curious to read the next book in the series?! I've also read Shadow and Bone which was quote good! I hope you read these soon!
