First book is awful you just have to keep pushing yourself. I’m on the second book and it meh. I love spicy romance and only read books with spice so it’s been a little boring but it’s starting to pick up. I was told if you read fourth wing first you’ll hate acotar but if you read acotar first you’ll hate fourth wing..🤷♀️I loved fourth wing

Have you read fantasy before? If not, start with fourth wing, see if you like that series first!

Start with TOG but it’s not really spicy, more of the world building. Acotar brings the spice.

Acotar/sarah j mass books in general and the empyrean series got me into the genre and made me love reading again! I’ve read hundreds of fantasy romance books since then and acotar is still in my top 3. Always going to be haters and not for everyone but it’s popular for a reason! Not a ton of spice (despite ppl saying it’s smut 🙄) but the spice is meaningful. The book will have you feeling things. If you read a lot (or even if you don’t), you’ll fly through this series. I hadn’t read in years before this and I read the whole series in like a week maybe 2 tops. Now I also read multiple books a week 😅 You’ll be wishing there were more books and not worried about how many there already are 🤭 Good balance between plot, romance, magic/world building, and found family. The second book is amazing, third too. If you like it, then you can read her other books and she makes connections between her worlds that are fun to catch. Also the memes people make on tt are so funny 😂

I always tell people there’s no convincing. You choose to read it at the right time for you, and it’s a right of passage. It comes to those ready for it lol same with her other series

Read all 3 series in order first. Throne of glass, then acotar, then crescent city. I swear throne of glass is the best one of the three and will suck you into the universe

Let me just say that the first book is sooooo much better when you finish the series and read it the second time 🙌

I think the storyline is so strong that you don't even notice the low spice.

Book 1 barely has any spice but it picks up in each book following. Book 5 is hella spicy. The series is amazing and you should believe the hype. There are so many amazing, moving moments in the books that had me frustrated, crying, cheering, and grieving. It’s definitely worth the read.

Just drink the koolaid…. Because if you drink the koolaid you’re gonna have a whole 13 book adventure and crescent city being the spiciest…. I also like spice in my books and there was enough in it to get me satisfied…. Hold the head board baby! [Snicker]

Girl, if you don’t wanna read it, don’t read it and I feel like you shouldn’t if you need people to convince you to read it
