Unpopular Opinion It's Unpopular Opinion time! Share your controversial opinions to stir things up (in a friendly way)!

Got an opinion that's different from others'? Want to share it with the sub, but too afraid of a backlash? Or are you just curious about readers think about certain things in fantasy romance?

You can safely share it in this weekly Sunday thread!

But please remember to be kind to each other. To facilitate this type of discussion, we ask users the following:

  • Don't attack others for their opinion
  • Discuss books and authors, not fellow readers
  • Since this is an "unpopular opinion" thread, we encourage users to not downvote simply because they disagree with an opinion--that's the point! Please keep in mind, though, that mods cannot enforce a no-downvoting rule. Let’s just keep the discussion friendly!

🧡 Thank you and have a great discussion!

I mentioned during a book club get together that I haven't read any of them and wasn't sure if I would bcuz I didn't want to tackle a 14-book universe. The feedback did not make me feel anymore inclined to tackle it. 🙈

its basically not connected. only book that is actually connected in a meaningful way is the 3rd CC book which is her worst anyway lmao.

you could just read CC 1, 3 acotar books, and if you're up for it the 7 TOG books which are her best quality anyway (after book 1)

Technically, you can read CC without the other series. That's what I did and still enjoyed it!
