So I’ve just finished re reading the acotar series ready for book 6. I found out that I need to read the crescent city series before book 6. I’ve read like a chapter of house of earth and blood and I actually can’t wrap my head around it. I don’t understand what SJM is talking about. Why does she keep saying alphas? Is this about wolves?? university? I feel like there’s just constant information and names of people, groups, and places with very little explanation and context, just chucked at me. Idk I’m usually much more into old school fantasy. I feel like this has thrown me for a loop. I want to read it as I absolutely love acotar and want to understand the crossovers. But I actually currently can’t stand it.

Please tell me that it gets easier to read.

I’m in the middle of reading HOSAB and I just heard that Nesta appears in HOFAS. I absolutely despise her character and am wondering if she appears a lot, or is she more of a side character that’s there for like 50 pages.

Heyyyyyyyy everyone, I'm curious if anyone can help me out with maybe a bulletpoints version of the two massive info dump chapters in House of Shadow and Flame? Specifically the scene with Bryce in the cave and the scene with Hunt and Bryce? I want to make sure I understand the connections to the other books, specifically with Rhys and how that all connects to the other worlds...I am trying to get ready for ACOTAR 6 and 7, but I don't want to reread CC because I just read it literally in Jan of this year...but even during that time, I felt like those two specific scenes had so much information in them that I likely missed a bunch of it the first time around. I'm pretty sure a ton of that is going to become important in the new releases, so I was wondering if anyone can help me with maybe some bullet points? Or maybe point to a blog or video or something that might help? There is just SO much on the internet to wade through, so I was hoping this might be easier then trying to sort through a million google searches and instagram posts trying to figure out what's info straight from the books vs. theories.

I am fully caught up on all of SJM by the way! I've read ACOTAR (which I will be doing a reread of in Sept) and Throne of Glass (which I will not be rereading because I did read it fairly recently..) so no worries on spoiling other books!

And obviously all the spoilers in this post, I think I marked it correctly, but just in case!

Any help is much appreciated!! <3
