I don’t know if I am speaking too soon but I am like 100 and something pages in and I am so bored I feel like nothing is happening. something tells me I should probably just keep reading and the plot will pick up but I feel that if I force myself I’ll be putting myself in a reading slump so… Should I keep on reading?? Note: I just got into fantasy like ACOTAR is my third book after Fourth Wing and iron flame

    First off, you should probably ask this on like. The fantasy romance sub or something. Most of the people on this sub are not the audience for that book (or for fantasy romance in general), so you’re gonna get a higher proportion of people who don’t like it responding. But that aside…

    I mean, I don’t think either ACOTAR or Fourth Wing are good (and by this, I mean, I don’t even think they’re good at what they’re trying to do by being fantasy romance). I DNF’d ACOTAR like 90% of the way through when I realized the ending was not going to improve the slog I’d gone through and that the series was only going to get more frustrating to me. So I wouldn’t personally encourage you to continue, I’d suggest asking for more recs on the fantasy romance subs.

    If you liked Fourth Wing, a lot of those people seem to like ACOTAR too. Though also a lot of ACOTAR fans seem to say it doesn’t really get good until like the second or even third book? Idk. That might be useful information to you if you’re deciding whether to continue or not.
