After reading these reviews, I am a little dumbfounded by their responses. I started on Sarah Maas with Throne of Glass. I loved the series, which brought me to ACOTAR. I am 51 years old, and I have never, ever had a book make me physically CRY... Yes, the sex was a little over the top, and I actually had to skip over some of the more detailed parts of it. By book 2, I was hooked. Anyone that stopped at book 2 or 3, I encourage them to finish. I pray that Ms. Maas writes a book 6, as there are things left open from this series. Lucien's father, Julien & the queen, relationship between Elain and Az/Lucien, etc. I pray that they actually write either TV or make this into a movie. I just finished book 5, and am starting back with book 1 all over again.
