what prompted this question? i borrowed acotar from my local library bcuz i ain't buying it for reasons (iykyk) and i just started chapter 3 and nothing's clicking for me so far.

tbf i'm not much of a high fantasy girlie outside of movies and video games. i prefer a modern setting in books.

tho i absolutely 100% will still be taking advantage of those whispersync discounts lol

same rules apply for physical books in regards to audiobooks because it's a lot of money to spend on audiobooks when i own the book itself and i can't own them all. however, i will contemplate getting the audiobook after reading the physical copy if i liked the book enough

i just got kindle unlimited on my personal acc (i've been using my mom's for the past year lol) so i can read books on my tablet and have resolved to only getting the audiobooks for those books if 1) i already like one or both of the narrators and 2) if i like the sample for said ebook

also, i need to rewire my brain a little this year because idk how i managed to have it wired to be like "yeah sure, reading fanfics on my phone or tablet makes perfect sense" but also be like "ew no i can't read ebooks on my phone or tablet bcuz that's different than reading fanfics"

i'll still continue reading the book, but this is a small reminder to anyone else who reads this book for the first time that it's okay to take breaks and focus on your mental health first.

absolutely amazing imo 😍

teddy hamilton and shane east as niko and bran (respectively) makes this one of the best audiobooks i've read so far since i started listening to audiobooks in december last year. their narrations are really great and it also helps that it's a duet style audiobook

yeah, that's true! like i said, it's not a bad thing. it was just something i noticed was different but i've been really enjoying reading the book so far and have been eating up these scenes

doesn't help that i'm listening to the audiobook at the same time too lmao

note: i also just skimmed through god of war and read a similarly written smut scene to how they're written in GoF, so maybe she did wanna try something new (idk if all of the scenes are like that but that one was)

they certainly weren't written like this in the first four legacy of gods books

maybe but she has over two dozen other books (that i haven't read so idk if it's just GoF or if it's similar in past books) so i would think she'd be comfortable with her writing. tho she could have just wanted to try something new?

the first three books don't mention them too often except for god of malice bcuz of glyn and killian and who they are to them.

everytime one of the mcs would notice something happening between them made me want more of them. everyone would just get confused and it was wonderful

especially during god of ruin considering landon is bran's twin and mia is niko's little sister, they were mentioned very frequently and kept making me wonder how their relationship was progressing in the background.
