Oh my, where do I even start?

I had just finished The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue when I decided to pick up ACOTAR as my next read. Obviously, with Schwab's gorgeous prose and fabulous character building still fresh in mind, my first Sarah J. Maas had something to live up to. All and sundry were talking highly about the 'fabulous fantasy books' of SJM though, so eventually I took the plunge and ordered the first 4 books in this series. I was actually looking forward to starting them, as well. Hindsight, eh?
