I recently read the ACOTAR series for the first time and they were the first books in my adult like that I enjoyed! I was previously reading historical books or self help books.
Now that ACOTAR has opened my eyes to the world of fantasy, I would like to explore more! The second book, ACOMAF, was by far my favorite. Here’s some more context for suggestions:
What I liked:
- the atmosphere & ambience
- the tension and romance
- the darkness with bits of light
- the twists and turns of plot
- strong descriptions and details of environment, characters, clothes, etc.
What I didn’t like:
- quality of writing could be a bit better IMO for all of ACOTAR
- could use a couple more steamy scenes
- characters fall a bit flat sometimes
- open to queer/lesbian story lines
Please gimme gimme gimme all the suggestions as someone just entering the adult fantasy world! Hoping I am right in thinking there has got to be some better written fantasy books out there than this popularized series.
Thank you!
