Please make a list of the last seven books that you read and answer the questions based on those seven books. Please try to avoid writing spoilers as much as possible! Enjoy.
Throne of Glass by Sarah J. Maas (re-read)
Shadow and Bone by Leigh Bardugo
Anna and the French Kiss by Stephanie Perkins
The Darkest Minds / Never Fade by Alexandra Bracken (lumping them together because they’re in the same series)
Cress by Marissa Meyer
A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J. Maas
The 5th Wave by Rick Yancey
Note: I read all of the above during summer break (listed from most to least recently). I honestly haven’t been reading (except for this Canadian Thanksgiving weekend) since school started early September, so I’m currently stuck on Queen of Shadows.
Which book had the best cover art, in your opinion? gonna pick more than one: throne of glass, shadow and bone, and cress
Of the books listed, which book appealed to you the most? throne of glass where did you think my url was from
Is there any character that you feel you relate to? Why? celaena because of her love of books, music, and food (not because of how she’s an assassin…)
Who/what introduced you to book 3? i think it was booktube
If you could live in any of the worlds of the books, which would you choose and why? they’re all kinda corrupted worlds and anna and the french kiss takes place in the real world… i think it would be cool to be part of the grisha in shadow and bone and live in ravka
In each of the books, choose the character you would wish to be. (Optional: Explain why.)
throne of glass: chaol or dorian
shadow and bone: alina or genya
anna and the french kiss: anna
the darkest minds: zu
cress: cinder (she’s a cyborg)
a court of thorns and roses: lucien
the 5th wave: haha no one because i don’t want to be hunted down by aliens lmao
In book 6, do you have any fancasts? not at the moment
Explain the plot of book 1 in less than 10 words. assassin tries to win freedom featuring prince and captain
How do you think the antagonist in book 4 would dress to university? if you mean him (idk if it’s a spoiler so i won’t name names) then i think he would wear fancy rich boy clothes
If you could give the main character in book 2 any advice, what would it be? trust baghra (?)
Rank the books in order from best to worst. i refuse to do this because i actually loved all of them
Do you prefer physical books or e-readers? physical books 100%
Was there any scene in book 5 that you had to pause reading for any reason? i don’t really remember but i doubt it
Are there any characters within the 7 books that you think should meet? chaol and mal
What would you rate book 7 out of five stars? 4.5 stars
