So I’m finally almost done with crown of midnight, but before I finish it I need some help on deciding what to read next. Some people recommend I read the assassin’s blade next and then heir of fire after. Some recommended that I read heir of fire first, then the assassin’s blade. I’m not sure which one I should do. Could any of you help me decide??

What i love about getting these new POVs, is yes - new characters, but i love seeing the many different sides of this war. Those that still support the Rising, those on the opposite side, and those in between. It's such a good way to give depth to how massive this war is

If you're a completionist, read in this order. Otherwise you can start with The Liveship Traders Trilogy or The Rain Wild Chronicles, but make sure you save Fitz and the Fool for last.

I definitely had way more fun listening to this book than I think I would have reading it. Due to the podcast setting (and Julia Whelan's narration #myqueen) the audiobook was a really fun time. At times, the pacing seemed a little off...every time we'd get some momentum in one POV we'd switch to the other POV which kinda made both POVs a little annoying. The main plot was a little predictable and basic but it was fun piecing everything together with the two leads. For a quick thriller listen, I'd definitely give this a shot!
