Omg finally someone who didnt like "Things we never got other" either!! I literally cringed so hard at this scene and when he called her his "left overs" ?!?! Tf? And what was that end? Like the last 100 pages were.... But I read Dance of Thieves before the prequel series and I absolutely loved it!! I think it's way better than the prequels, so I really recommend it to you!!🎀

wow-those covers you picked out! that wuthering heights is so comforting and gorgeous!!! 😍 i see what you mean about the black and white cover-there's something really soothing about it even though it is creepy, like it's acknowledging an important part of ourselves 😌 and the white cover with the lipstick smudge makes me feel like i just poured my heart out to the person i have feelings for and was met with a thoughtful silence-so intimate and filled with longing 💔 i read anna karenina this year and loved it-and the experience. it's divided into 8 parts, and to me it felt way more like a well written series of 8 thoughtful and empathetic novellas than one thick-ass book to slog through. ✨ here's to a lovely year of reading! 🥰

I read the Dance of Thieves duology w/out reading the first series and there’s ZERO correlation.. the DoT books have references to the past but I don’t this The Kiss of Deception even covers that timeline!! AND there’s no mention of magic in DoT.. just stardust (magic space dust that’s used for two scenes and forgotten about) in the second book and some gods and mythology

This is very unrelated, but can someone tell me in which order to read the complete shatter me series ? And all the other books related ? Because every site says something different but I'm almost finished with the first book and have no idea which one to buy next- And thank you Madita for introducing me to the book with your channel, it's SO good, the writing is amazing and so beautiful

@maditales 3 ай бұрын

of course!! so you can read the main 6 books without or with the novellas. the novellas don't add anything to the main plotline, so you are not missing anything if you don't read them, but we get a few more kenji scenes that are super cute so i still recommend to read them: 1. shatter me 1.5 destroy me 2. unravel me 2.5 fracture me 3 ignite me 4 restore me 4.5 Shadow Me 5 defy me 5.5 Reveal Me 6. defy me 6.5 believe me

Since I wrote that comment Ive actually finished shatter me, destroy me and am now in the middle of unravel me (already bought ignite me and restore me), because I saw a video about this series. And are there two Defy Me's ? (Since you wrote it twice, or was it a mistake- ?) I love these books so much, im so glad you talk about them so often, it's what convinced me to buy them!

I’m late to this BUT… Dance of Thieves/Vow of Thieves are actually amazing, if you haven’t read them yet. I feel like the plots were slightly dragged out (the books take place over a super short period of time) but I enjoyed them and the romance was very engaging. I definitely wouldn’t not read them because the prequels were bad!!
