Is this book a joke?

I am 100 pages in and am still getting bombarded with new characters and lore. Truth is Im not invested in the world enough to care that Im not remembering anyone

I finished ToG and the ending was so underwhelming it has shattered my love for Maas's storytelling

The running joke that the last 100 pages makes it worth it isn't the same now that the books are getting so hefty and I don't believe she can finish a series in a meaningful way I

Can someone tell me when Cresent City gets good? Is it actually worth reading

Okay so I'm about 30% and I just wanted to come back to the beginning and give a PSA to people who may have been scared away from starting this book because they've been told (like I was) that it's "hard to understand", "dense", "you're gonna need all your brain power", "it's a slow read". Folks, no it's not. Not anymore than any other epic fantasy book. It has also been a surprisingly fast-paced read IMO.

I delayed starting this series for so long because I was a little intimidated based on everything I heard and I'm annoyed that I waited this long. If you are an epic fantasy or sci-fi connoisseur then you won't have any trouble with this world. If this is your first ever epic fantasy then yes, you'll probably be a little lost. But ya know what? Good, be a little lost. I think people need to start being okay with not having a complete understanding of what's going on right away, learn to let the story unfold! You'll be fine, you'll enrich your mind and imagination. And I can already tell this book will lend itself to many rereads so you can always go back for a deeper understanding. And this forum is full of people theorizing and summarizing chapters so you'll have support as you read.

So if like me you've been on the fence for a while, go ahead and plant your feet firmly on the Start ASAP side.

I feel like I get it but then all of a sudden we’re with different people again. Trying to make sense of this because it sounds so interesting!

I always got confused between the POVs since they are not labeled. But chat gpt helping me recap up to cjapter 8 and i can ask what POV if i get confused whos head im in.

Hello hello everyone! I am reading a book where 3 of the main characters are so stupid and dumb that the most intelligent ones are the 10 year old child and the villain. So it got me wondering, what's the book with the most stupid character you have ever read?? And for the laughs what was the stupidest thing they did, like something that had you want to bang your head on the wall? 👀 In the book I'm currently reading, the MCs thought it was a good idea to enter the castle to spy with no mask nor disguise. 😭 And then was caught becauss she thought it was a good idea to talk to the 10 year old.
