Out of curiosity who is everyones fave character. Mines Wylan van sunshine ☀️

I have recently got back into reading after a really long break... I got peer-pressured into the ACOTAR series lol, which reminded me of what I used to love about reading - I am on a roll now, reading books that I can't put down. I'd love to hear from people that have been in a similar position. Which books or series were so good they reignited your spark for reading and why? :)

So, when y'all read books that are part of a series, are you factoring in that fact into your rating in any way? For example, you could rate it on how well it works as a standalone in its own right, or on how it contributes to the series, or both? I don't have any consistent approach to this so was wondering if any of y'all have given it a more substantial amount of thought!

while I do see that this book indeed has some pacing issues at times I do appreciate that it takes it's time to both show us how the world is evolving at a rapid pace as well as Zetian's feelings on everything that she did in the previous book and the things currently happening around her. It makes me understand Zetian on a deeper level and makes her a much more three dimensional character that is very compelling to read about and makes me wonder what her next moves will be and if she will be able to accomplish them successfully.
