Reddit take

Not enough linked mention summaries yet; the source excerpts below are the evidence.

Pros

  • When I couldn't get into Crescent City by reading it physically, I started the graphic audiobook. I got sucked in and it helped me get through 2 books.
  • I personally prefer her Crescent City books
  • I have read all of the Sarah J Maas books, I loved ACOTAR and Crescent City
  • from the books I've read, I've quite enjoyed this long list of books: * TOG, ACOTAR, Crescent City

Cons

  • A Darker Shade of Magic by VE Schwab is the book I read right before I read Crescent City by SJM (my first and only attempt at her books) and is what I kept comparing her crappy writing to and what convinced me that SJM wasn’t worth read...
  • ACOTAR (I didn't like Crescent City though)
  • I have Crescent City and Fourth Wing on hold on Libby, but it'll still be awhile until I can get my hands on them.
  • I’ve read the common ones (ACOTAR, ToG, Crescent City, Fourth Wing, etc).
  • It's easy to find smut like ACOTAR and Crescent City, Fourth Wing, etc. I just am no longer interested in all of that erotica vibe.

A Darker Shade of Magic by VE Schwab is the book I read right before I read Crescent City by SJM (my first and only attempt at her books) and is what I kept comparing her crappy writing to and what convinced me that SJM wasn’t worth reading anymore, haha.

Crescent City (Sarah J. Maas - I gave up on Maas a few years ago but I thought I'd might read this because people told me it was better and different, but in my opinion it was exactly the same as her other work...)
