Books Series You Originally Hated But Are Glad You Finished | Lemony Snicket, A Throne of Glass & More
Marissa's in a reading slump. Megan's burning through the books. And, together they're talking about book series that they hated at first but are glad that they finished. Without too many spoilers, they talk lots about A Throne of Glass and Realm of Knights by Jennifer Anne Davis. They end it off by pulling the next topic from the infamous Book Jar.
We open, as always, with a dive into our most recent reads. Megan discusses Anatomy: A Love Story by Dana Schwartz. Marissa discusses two very recent reads: The Boy, the Mole, the Fox, and the Horse by Charlie Mackesy and Monstress, Vol. 1: Awakening by Marjorie Liu with illustrations by Sana Takeda. After that, they dive into this podcast's topic: What books did you hate at first but you're glad you finished the series for?
Marissa begins the discussion by bringing up the weirdness of her willingness to DNF series, even when she won't DNF books themselves. Megan starts off by discussing The Maze Runner by James Dashner and how the series kept her on her toes. Marissa brings up a popular novel: A Throne of Glass by Sarah J. Maas. In her first reading, she didn't hate it... but it also took her about ten years to want to continue the series. Megan discusses The Remnant Chronicles by Mary E. Pearson, which disappointed her at the start but pulled her back in with force. Marissa recalls a children's series that she did finish, and did love, but never really hated: A Series of Unfortunate Events by Lemony Snicket (Daniel Handler). Megan dives back into her Mulan-Esque novels with Realm of Knights by Jennifer Anne Davis. Marissa finishes off her list with Sailor Moon by Naoko Takeuchi and Megan mentions her honourable mention.
From there, the readers discuss new books, up-next reads, and draw for the next podcast's topic.
