Throne of Maas Readathon discussion

Hey everyone!

If you're new here, please say your name (or preferred name), currentl read, whether this will be your first time or not reading Sarah's books, and if it isn't - who your favorite characters are from both TOG and ACOTAR :D

My name is Lyra, I'm currently reading both Clockwork Angel and Blue Lily, Lily Blue. This will be my third time reading ACOTAR and second time reading TOG. My favorite characters from ACOTAR are Cassian and Azriel and from TOG, Dorian!

Hiiiii! I'm so excited about this group!!!! A place where we can all fangirl about Queen Maas and her books. 😍

My name is Warda and I'm currently reading 3 books. 😆
Sweet Fall by Tillie Cole
Shatter Me by Tahereh Mafi
Children of Blood and Bone by Tomi Adeyemi.

I've reread the ACOTAR series last month. All the books will be a reread for me and I can't WAIT for the release of ACOFAS and ToG7. 😁

Hi! My name is Jade and I live in France. I started the ToG series a long time ago in French but unfortunately, the French publisher decided to stop the publishing in France (Yeah I know they suck). But I was so in that I decided to restart this series in English. And since then, I mostly read my books in English. The thing is, because of the French publisher, I have a lot of friends who haven't read SJM and it's upset me cause I can't discuss my reading with them *tears*. So the idea of being in this group and talking all day long in this series gives me life (just like SJM did with her books ;)).

Hi I'm Amy 😊
This will be my first read through of both series! 😱
My fiancé was sweet enough to buy them for me at Christmas so I'm really excited to read them! ♥️

I'm currently reading:

Hi, my name is Mercedes!
I have read all of Sarah's books, and am waiting to me her. My favorite series by her (and ever) is ACOTAR. My favorite character (besides Feyre and Rhysand) is Azriel. He is an amazing character and I hope we can explore him more. Forgot to say I am currently rereading A Court of Wings and Ruin to prepare for the newest book.

I have heard great things about Six of Crows, and I wanted to read her other trilogy first because it's set in the same world ( I heard). I was wondering if I have to read them first. I have read the first two but didn't like the main character so I stopped.

My favourite from TOG is Celeana
My favourite from ACOTAR is Rhysand

Hi! My name is Jacky.

I'm currently reading "City of Glass" by Cassandra Clare and listening to the audiobook of "A Court of Thorns and Roses".

It is my third time reading this series since I discovered it last autumn and my first re-read of the "Throne of Glass"-series.

My favorite character from ACOTAR is Rhysand and from TOG it's Aelin.

I LOVE TMI SERIES AND AELIN IS MY FAVORITE ToG CHARACTER

wow I just realized I typed that in caps

Hey! I'm Natalie :)
At the moment I'm reading 'Eleanor Oliphant is completely fine' by Gail Honeyman, which is just alright so far.
Definitely not the first time I'll be reading Maas, the ACOTAR series is my favourite series of all time after Harry Potter so I'm a fan. I've been to two of her book signings in London and was so starstruck both times that I probably said something stupid.
My favourite character in Throne of Glass is Rowan, and my favourite in ACOTAR is Rhysand.

Nice to meet you all! :)

Hi I'm Ana.

I'm currently reading The Night Circus right now.

I've read SJM books, the ACOTAR Series, the first three books that are out, read them last month. My favorite characters in it are Tamlin and Feyre, and Lucien. So far the first book ACOTAR is my favorite book, so I will be rereading them and it'll be my first time to read TOG series. I look forward to it.

You've read them all? or just the first one?

Hey everyone 🤗

I'm Percy. I'm currently trying to conquer my TBR, so right now I'm reading American Gods and Good Omens, both by Neil Gaiman.

I've read the TOG series except for Tower of Dawn. I STILL HAVEN'T READ ACOTAR series mainly because I know I would be a walking empty shell after I read the latest of the series. My soul would definitely wander around trying to figure out what would happen next because that already happened to me when I read TOG. But I must be brave and stop from holding back. So I would be glad to read the ACOTAR series with you awesome pipz during the scheduled dates. I also solemnly swear that I would refrain from going on ahead just because I can't stop reading. I'll just let the suspense kill me 😅

I can't say who's my fave from ACOTAR but I know a lot of people loves Rhysand. As for TOG, my fave is Rowan, though honestly before he entered the scene, I did like Chaol, but not so much afterwards.

*laughs guiltily* Chaol was always (and still is) a favorite of mine!

Hey everyone!!
I’m Demi from the U.K! I’m on bookstagram as demislibrary!
I’ve read both ACOTAR and TOG series once! I’m looking forward to reading them again!! I’m a bigger fan of ToG than of ACOTAR but I love both series!
♥️♥️

I'm Rylee I haven't read past the first book of TOG but I want to read both her series and I love her writing style.

Read ACOTAR, ACOMAF And ACOWAR all last month.

I'm currently reading Autoboyography !! My name is Benji, and this is my first time re-reading SJM's books. I've been looking for an excuse to, and this readathon is definitely that !!! My absolute favorite character from either series is Cassian, but the place in my heart for Aedion, Lorcan, and Lucien is real.

I do like Chaol but then Rowan distracted me with his maturity and sexiness 😋

I did, and she is so lovely! Her husband was with her the second time, who definitely reminded me of Rhysand ;)

Hi all! Saw this group and I couldn’t pass it up!! I’ve read both ACOTAR and TOG ( except for Tower of Dawn). I’m excited to read through them again! Sarah Maas seriously is a terrific writer and these stories really seeped into my soul and became high on my list of most favorite books ever! My favorite characters...Rhys and Rowan...I gotta thing for broody fae men 😂😷 I like Manon a lot tho...her transformation in the serious is pretty awesome, and I can’t wait to see what Maas cooks up for her and Dorian!

Currently, I just finished The Jewel series by Amy Ewing. I’m about to start Die For Me (Amy Plum), The Raven Boys (Maggie Stiefvater), and just for an escape, By Your Side ( Katie West).

Anyway! Looking forward to chatting up these books with y’all!

Hi all! My name is Nova. I’m currently reading (other than a court of thorns and roses haha) the infernal devices trilogy and the raven cycle (both are rereads.) This is my first time reading a court of thorns & roses but i’ve read throne of glass - the first book not the rest of the series. So i’m pretty excited to get all caught up :)

I'm super excited to go through this emotional rollar coaster all over again in anticipation for the new books!

Hey! My name is Gabriela (bookstrider is my bookstagram account), I am currently reading Empire of Storms. I absolutely adore this series - Sarah J Maas quickly became one of my favourite authors. So far my favourite characters are Aelin, Rowan and Lysandra. I do adore the rest as well, its just hard to pick a favourite

Wow, be prepared for a mess of emotions with that one! Lysandra is a favorite of mine - I never really liked her to begin with but then loved how her character progress throughout the series.

Hahaha I read ACOTAR 3 times last year too! My family were constantly like, "are you really reading that again?" I mean I couldn't help it - it's too amazing!

Omg Lyra, tell me about it! I finished last night and I am still a bit traumatized 🙈

The last 100 pages or so gets me every time! It's like reading it for the first time all over again ><

Hi, I’m Arianne, I’m from Wales, Uk. I am currently reading Harry Potter and the cursed child, hoping to buddy read illuminae in another group soon and then move onto the raven boys.
I am a first reader for TOG and have not read ACOTAR. I have read throne of glass and crown of midnight... absolutely loved them!! So far I adore Chaol!

Welcome Arianne! Chaol is a dear, I love him so much! I only made it half way through The Cursed Child before I stopped - is it worth finishing?

Well I started to read it when it first came out and then put it down because I thought it just didn’t sound like a Harry Potter book/story. I’m giving it another go because I’m seeing it next week and it is definitely worth a second chance, it gets better I promise there are a couple of twists in there. I do like it but I don’t love it, I’m hoping when I finish I might change my mind 🙂

And here I thought I had read it too many times, wow! That's so awesome that you have been able to read them so many times! Is Talon any good? I was looking at it the other day and considering picking it up.

That's awesome that you get to go see it! Live theatre is one of my absolute favorite things to go see (much to my bank account's horror!) I've heard the show has some cool effects. :D

It definitely seems like there are some mixed reviews for it, so hopefully you end up enjoying it!

Hi Im Azure
Im currently reading A Court of Mist and Fury and The Handmaids Tale.

Hi my name is Brittany and I will be reading the Throne of Glass series for the first time. It will also be the first time I've read a Sarah J Mass book. I would love a reading buddy if anyone else is on their first time reading the series as well.

I'm currently reading the Darkest Minds series.

Welcome Azure & Brittany! Great to have you join the readathon! :D

@Brittany, I'm reading the Throne of Glass series for the first time as well. I'll be sharing my progress in the Throne of Glass threads. I would love for you to join so we could all have a buddy read together :)

Hey guys!!
I’m Tima, I’m a Canadian high school student who loves to both read and write. My absolute favourite books are Throne of Glass series (Empire of Storm is my fave in the series) and Strange the Dreamer. I really want to read ACOTAR but it’s always signed out at my local library and it’s not available in my school library either :( Anyway I requested it almost a month ago so hopefully I’ll be reading it soon :D

Hi! I go by the name Lauren, and this is my first time joining a Goodreads group! This will be my fourth time reading ACOTAR and fifth time reading Throne of Glass. My favorite characters from Throne of Glass are Elide and Lysandra, while my favorite characters from ACOTAR are Amren, Nesta, and Tarquin. I’ve just finished reading Alex, Approximately, and am planning to read The Foxhole Court next.
