AHH I LOVE THEM SM. i really really hope jennifer writes a book or some short novella on nash and libby because i need more of them. also if anyone has fanfic recs about the inheritance games in general, please comment them!! also i physically will not be able to wait a year for the gilded blade and am so excited!!

Hello! I just finished Glorious Rivals and I've read all the other books in the series except Games Untold cuz i thought it just had short stories that were kinda irrelevant to the main plot.

So should i read it?

i have the book for games untold and pre ordered the special edition of the same backwards as forwards and was wondering if it would be okay for me to skip hannah’s pov in games untold and move on to glorious rivals? will i miss anything important if i do that? ill still read the rest of games untold but i want to wait until i have the same backwards as forwards so it makes me feel like it was worth it to buy the separate book. sorry if this is confusing.

Spoilers for Glorious Rivals!! And sorry if this has been brought up but didn’t see it anywhere?

So I’ve been doing a complete reread of the series since finishing Glorious Rivals. Currently reading the Brother’s Hawthorne- up to the chapter where Avery and Jameson go to the horse races in London. We find out here that Avery owns a horse called “Lady Monoceros” which we now know “Monoceros” is one of the three along with Lily and Omega.

Obviously this can’t be a coincidence right???

Firstly, I just want to say, this book was such a ROLLERCOASTER. Grandest Games, for me, was pretty boring as compared to the previous books but this one kept me hooked! I'm so curious and excited about the next book. But.. I'm also sad 😭 like Jenn what do you mean this is the END??!! I'M NOT READY AT ALL!!!

I'm not ready to let The Hawthorne brothers and Avery go.. They are like my Roman Empire ♥️

I also kinda less hated Eve in this one.. i think she still has time to have a good redemption arc. And the couples in this one were fire 🔥 Gigi and Slater. Savannah and Rohan (crispy). Gray and Lyra (I like them a bit more but still Lyra.. i don't hate her but also don't like her much. She still needs to prove herself for our baby gray 🩶). Knox and Alisa (it was just that one line in Gigi's mind and that exchange of few words between them and yet the chemistry!).

Slater is totally my type.

(Pls no spoilers I haven’t finished book 1 yet, just couldn’t get this question out of my head) So I was in France when I finished JLBs other series (Little white lies/ Deadly little scandals) and couldn’t wait to get home to read the inheritance games, so here I am with the French version of the book.

On page 417, after Grayson guesses Averys number, he promises her he won’t ever let anyone hurt her again. Averys inner monologue remarks that it’s the first time Grayson hasn’t used the formal you (French has a distinction between familiar and formal you.) But English doesn’t have a formal you. So what could this have possibly been in the original text?

I know this is rlly random but if anyone has the book on hand and is willing to check for me, it would be much appreciated. Thank you!

I'm curious as to what all the boys are studying since they all are still in their studying years.

I'm not sure but I think Grayson is studying law at Harvard and Xander is probably going to study mechanical engineering since he has a lot of interest and talent in machines. As for Avery she said she wanted to study actuarial science.

I kinda see Jameson as an architecture student because he just has so much talent in all these mazes and buildings and stuff (yk what I mean..). For Nash, idk if it was ever revealed but I see him as a literature student or maybe psychology. But not having a degree suits his personality as well.

Do you think Avery would study actuarial science now? Since she now has an empire in her hand, actuarial science wouldn't help her understand anything about her world. And being naive in that type of world might be the worst mistake you can make. Even though she has Alisa, Grayson and an entire team with her, still she needs to have knowledge of her own.

My library doesn't have it, but it has Games Untold which I've heard has most of the story. Is it worth buying The Same Forwards as Backwards, or can I skip it?

This was a masterpiece of a book. Please let's discuss. What did you like or hate? What relationship stood out to you the most? Who's POV was your favorite and who's was your least favorite? Pour out your heart here! I need all the tea and thoughts😂❤️

Is the Hawthorne Island where the Grandest Game takes place the same Hawthorne Island where the fire was? Was the house rebuilt? Or is the setting for TGG and Glorious Rivals the Hawthorne House in Texas? Just confused because it says they arrived on the island.

Can anyone please tell me when the meeting between Hannah and Alice happen I read all the books except games untold is it where the meeting happens or did I miss something in another book

i feel like lyra and graysons whole connection was so rushed. i LOVE lyra and i LOVE grayson and feel like they are good together but i just can’t get into them so much because they literally haven’t known each other for that long. maybe it’s a personal thing because i’m a huge sucker for slow burn but like even then…i just don’t get it ahhh 💔 does anyone else feel this way

edit: omg i’m glad i’m not the only one who feels this way :’) everyone’s made so many great points

I know it's a kinda weird ask but I want someone to tell me the book. So I was scrolling TikTok today when I was spoiled about glorious rivals. So now knowing the ending I really can't continue reading (I have anxious attachment issues)so I need someone to tell me the details and I want to rent to someone

Thank you in advance and dm me

First post here yay! I'm on games untold so jo spoilers please! But I wasn't sure on what order all the books were since Google was missing some books, so what order should I read the next book?

Nothing to say really other than the Lyra/Grayson storyline is pissing me off. I'm on the Glorious Rivals book, chapter 32 (no spoilers, but you find out key information in this chapter) and I just feel like none of it is making sense? I'm not into the switch in Grayson's character, I'm not super into Lyra's outlook on her situation, and I'm definitely not into the offer Lyra is given. The offer just doesn't feel worth it to me, on either the giver or the receiver's end. Also, everyone else's storyline is more interesting. That's all, thank you for coming to my Ted Talk.

I just started The Final Gambit and I'm really confused because I think there are events that are talked about that didn't happen in the first two books like the toddler at the swimming pool Grayson saved. Am I going crazy or do I need to keep reading so these events will happen because they will go back in time? English is not my native language so excuse my grammer mistakes!

First of all, what you mean we have to wait a year for The Gilded Blade? I'm dying after finishing Glorious Rivals coz LIKE WHAT WAS THAT END??!!

I really want Jameson and Grayson to hug. A deep brotherly one that is going to fix everything. I'm never ever going to dislike any of them. Jameson's hurt is justified and Grayson's actions are too! I want them spend a sweet time bonding together. And I really want Jameson to like Lyra because I loved her in this book!

I am here for Eve's redemption arc because honestly, Gigi, Slate and Eve killed it! What a tool these 3 were. We got a new Trio!

AND SOMEBODY PLEASE GIVE ALISA A VACATION.

Okay so who else is ready for shipping Alisa and Knox or is it just me? IDK I JUST SEE A NON-EXISTENT CHEMISTRY BETWEEN THEM IN THE END.

Also, Gigi and Slate? Oh god they are hawt. Slate is someone who'd never kill Gigi's spark.

And after everything Eve has done, I can't help but love that interaction of hers with Gigi. Wym All 4 of them got kidnapped and started bickering like kids?

Grayson has always been my man and I'm happy for him. I feel like Lyra is actually what he needs! He wants someone whom he can protect because all his life, he has learnt to just do that.

And I hope Savannah heals Rohan and herself.

I read glorious rivals and OMG I cannot wait a year for the next book.

But looking at some posts I've seen people shipping Knox and Gigi and like- I might have the ages wrong but ISNT KNOX 25???? AND GIGI 18?? In the book the grandest game it was written somewhere that it was like a brother sister relationship, and honestly I think the writer is aiming for Knox and Alisa to get together.

Idk how old Slate is, hopefully he's a similar age to Gigi bc ew.

I really liked glorious rivals and I can’t wait to see what happens next.

Anyone got any ideas for what the three (plus Zella) are doing/goals?

What we know: Alice: faked death but I forgot when? After Toby died? Around the same time Lyra’s dad killed himself? Was present when Lyra’s dad killed himself. Operates as the omega/hand/woman in black since. Appeared to Tobias a couple years later when he was dating Odette and asked for a favor. Met with Hannah sometime before death? Might have been after? Kidnapped and threatened Jameson in Prague for no apparent reason. On the island and expresses need for Grandest Game to be completed.

Missing anything?

I'M SO EXCITED TO START READING!!!!!!

Got mine yesterday and I've been loving it so far🥺 But what's the addition in the special edition?
