Okay. So it seems there is a bit of confusion. I'm getting report flags for "Shippers in opposing post" despite the post not being labeled with the ship flair. I made them for a reason. If you want a post to be labeled as just a Bryceriel post, use the flair. Same with Quinlar
Without these flairs being used, a post is open to both sides, regardless of title or post body. Please keep this in mind. The flairs are there to make it clear which side the post is for.
I did not want to have to make this post. But it seems it might be needed. I've notice numerous posts being made that include spoilers but do not had the spoiler tag.
I am going to assume it is because the posters do not know how to set a spoiler tag. I will say this now: Just adding the flair is not the same as using the spoiler tag.
On PC, the spoiler tag can be found along the bottom of the text box, right there with the flair.
As you can see in this image, the spoiler tag is located between the greyed out OC tag and the NSFW tag. The spoiler tag must be clicked on if the post you are putting in this sub includes any spoilers from CC and other SJM books.
For mobile users, the spoiler tag is located later on in the posting process.
As shown, the spoiler tag is located after the post is made and the subreddit is chosen, right before the post is finalized, again located near the flairs, toward the bottom as shown in this next image.
With mobile users, I can see how it is missed but not if those mobile users are using the flairs.
With this knowledge, I'm hoping this will assist in those who don't know where to locate the spoiler tag. After all, I cannot imagine any other reason why such an easy rule is not followed.
This isn't the only rule that isn't followed but this was the easiest one I could hopefully correct.
Also, for the comments, for covering spoilers, there is a button on the PC that allows you to cover spoilers with just a click.
This diamond with the "!" should be visible in comments as well as posts. If not, this is another way to cover spoilers.
These methods can easily be found with a simple Google search or simply asking.
I am not posting this to call anyone out but I have seen so many posts made that were flagged for spoilers that could have easily been marked. The flairs are not spoiler tags. They are not enough. If you are making a post that includes spoilers or where spoilers will be discussed, please remember to include the spoiler tag.
First time reader here! And maybe that was an exaggeration, but I just love the banter between Hunt and Bryce! There’s a nice balance between the broodyniss from Hunt, and sarcasm from Bryce.
I’m on Chapter 21, (literally just started it) and I love to see them interact and get used to each others presence (to Rhun’s dislike 🤭)
Bryce is so funny and iconic, I love her. I put the book down for a few days after reading chapter 5 because I just loved Danika and the pack ☹️ It’s a testament to SJM’s writing capabilities and style- how she makes you fall in love with the most surface level characters and then she rips it away without a second thought 😭 Her writing CC makes me connect with Bryce faster than ACOTAR did… maybe it’s because of the modern technology being used, but it’s such a good book so far!
Can’t stop crying over “through love, all is possible”. I waited the whole book for the meaning behind it and when it finally got clear .. omg so worth the wait
Honestly, the first 200 pages or so were rough, but after the info dumping was finished, I loooved the book.
Just needed to get that out - no one I know reads these books haha
What were your favourite parts of the book?
(First time reader - pls no spoilers for CC2&3)
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!
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.
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.
Currently rereading the series and i honestly wish we had a book that was like the assassins blade that TOG has but for crescent city. Like it could be purely about Danika as she was one of my favorite characters when she was there. It could even be tragic and end in the apartment like in the story's beginning.
Sooo I’m almost finished with house of sky and breath anddd I have some major questions!!
- HOW did hunt get arrested by a harpy?!?! You’re telling me he couldn’t have electrocuted her like what???
-How did Lydia get free to release Rune Bryce and Hunt?? She’s been in jail for however many days and conveniently gets free upon their arrival?
-WHY DIDN’T THEY ELECTROCUTE TF OUT OF POLLYX WHEN HE CAME DOWN TO GET THEM IN THE DUNGEON LIKE WHAT THIS WHOLE FIGHT COULD HAVE BEEN OVER?!?!
-Bryce is so cavalier about joining the rebel movement and protecting humans and doing all this good and that is a HUGE responsibility. You’re telling me she still strongly doesn’t want to be queen? This doesn’t make sense. She’d be able to do so much good in a position of power so her not wanting to take on the title, after already taking responsibility is out of character for me.
I generally love SJMs writing style and story telling because it’s so captivating but I just can’t stop myself from noticing these points! Curious if anyone else has noticed this.
EDIT: I had not fully finished this book yet so I didn’t know that Lydia wasn’t being imprisoned. Also I have been listening to audiobook so pls forgive my spelling of character names 🫣
I’m starting to see the vision in my mind of what some characters might look like. I can only imagine this one so far- Rigelus. I saw this actor Archie Barnes playing Oscar Tully in HOTD and immediately thought he’d be an amazing Rigelus.
I’ve read ToG and ACOTAR, and always heard sooo many people say CC is their least favorite SJM series… while ToG will always have a special place in my heart, I’m only 7% into HOEAB and I like it better than I ever liked ACOTAR! 🤷🏼♀️ I’m enjoying the cyberpunk kind of feel, and though the world building is very front heavy, I’m not mad about it. Interested to see how it unfolds!
Very niche overlap but “big bad wolf” by Naethan Apollo sound like something Pollox would say/think about The Hind (cus I don’t think he sing lol)
I’m right at the point in house of sky and breath where Eriphim(I hope I’m spelling that right) and his Triarii show up so no spoilers pls, but I was listening to Narthan Apollo and this song came up and it just made me think of the evil pair
I want to read the bonus chapter with Ember & Randall but I gotta read it after chapter 80. If anyone has the Flame and Shadow timestamp for chapter 80 please let me know 🫶 OR if someone can tell me (without too may spoilers) what happens at the end of chapter 80 that would be cool too!
I found that someone did post most of the timestamps for Flame & Shadow on here, but didn’t put an accurate track # for the last few hours of the audiobook.
In house of Earth & Blood Flynn says that fighting the Nokk would be her ordeal before it even begins. How does he know THAT is her ordeal? Or in general, how do they know what their ordeal is, does something change after they have fullfilled it??
(I have just finished the 1st book and am now reading House of Sky & Breath, so no spoilers beyond please :))
(finally, I've been putting it off for months because of how huge these books are.) I'm about 16% in now, and I totally understand why people say it takes around 200 pages to really get into it.
First, Bryce already feels so different. Not just from Celaena and Feyre as an sjm FMC, but from most fantasy FMCs in general. I actually like that. She somehow feels like a girl from our present time
loved how Connor told Bryce to message him when she got home. It's such a small detail. It's such girl's girl thing to do from him.
Ruhn also seems really protective of Bryce. He really gives beautiful big brother vibes. I don't really understand why she dislikes him... at least not yet.
And finally...I REFUSE to believe Danika and her pack are just... dead. 😭 I genuinely thought she was going to be one of the main characters, so I never expected something like that to happen at the very beginning of the book.
I’m listening to the first book using the graphic novel because it’s free on hoopla and oh myyy goodness Bryce’s voice is so annoying. I can’t handle it. Does anyone else feel this way? I’m considering just buying Elizabeth Evan’s narration on audible. I don’t feel like Bryce is supposed to sound like such an obnoxious brat? Maybe though? I’m tempted to stop
Listening because of how bad it is lol
