THERE MAY BE A LOT OF SPOILERS!

Hi guys! For those of you who have read the entire series so far, in your opinion, which moments, situations, scenes, descriptions, or parts of the narrative do you think would have been better as “show, don’t tell”?

Are there any moments where you feel it would have been much more effective or impactful if we had actually been shown something happening rather than simply told about it?

This can be about any character or any situation in the series. Is there anything you personally wish had been shown more instead of told? If so, which moments?

Hi guys!

I’m curious to see how different our tastes are as readers who enjoy stories about animals. Would you prefer a world with no humans at all, or do you like stories where humans and animals coexist?

What would you want the story to focus on? Mainly survival and adventure, or would you be equally interested in family relationships, conflicts within large groups of animals, power, war, friendships, betrayals, loss, and other more complex themes?

Would you like intense or even bloody battles? Would you prefer a dark and dramatic story aimed at older teens and adults, or something more lighthearted for younger readers?

What about fantasy elements? Would you want magic, a little bit of magic, or no magic at all? And what kinds of animals would interest you the most? Are there any particular animals you would especially like to see as protagonists?

Also, do you prefer animals that physically remain normal animals but can talk and think, or more anthropomorphic animals, like in Zootopia, that wear clothes and live more like humans?

And finally, would you be more interested in a standalone book or a series of several books, assuming, of course, that the story and writing were good enough to keep you interested? What about POVs? Would you enjoy following several different POVs, or would you prefer just one, or two at most?

There’s no right or wrong answer. I just find it interesting that we can all say, “I love books about animals,” while actually meaning very different things by that. So, if you’d like to share: what would your ideal book about talking animals be like?

Since we still know next to nothing about ACOTAR 6, I thought I'd start a little discussion because the anticipation is killing me! 😵😵‍💫🤯😅

What is the one thing you are most looking forward to seeing, and what is the one thing you really don't want to happen? Which character would you like to see as the main protagonist, and is there anyone you're afraid Sarah J. Maas might "ruin"? Would you prefer more romance or more action and political intrigue? Is there a couple you absolutely want to become canon? Do you think ACOTAR 6 will be better, worse, or on par with ACOSF? What would instantly make it a 5-star book for you? Which scene are you hoping to read the most? And finally, if you could ask Sarah J. Maas for just one thing regarding ACOTAR 6, what would it be?

And of course, if you don't want to answer these specific questions, just share what you expect, hope for, or fear about ACOTAR 6. We've been waiting for this book for so long that it would be really interesting to read everyone's thoughts and theories.

(P.S. If you want to mention spoilers from the previous books, feel free to do so! Just please use spoiler tags to be considerate of those who haven't finished the series yet.)

Hi everyone! 🙂😃

I've been thinking about Rhysand a lot lately, and I wanted to ask you all because I'm curious to better understand why he's such a beloved character.

1)On a scale from 1 to 100, how much do you like Rhysand?

2)If Rhysand weren't physically attractive at all, but had the exact same personality, made the exact same choices, and had the exact same story, would you still like him just as much? Or do you think his appearance plays a significant role in why people love him?

I'm asking out of genuine curiosity and would love to hear everyone's opinions, whether you're a huge fan of him or not.

Hello everyone! 🙂

I'd like to discuss a hypothetical scenario from The Lion King.

Let's completely set Scar's manipulation aside, because in reality the only one responsible for Mufasa's death is Scar himself. What interests me here is what happened afterward: Simba's exile and whether he should have stayed with the pride.

What do you think would have happened if Simba had not left the Pride Lands and had gone directly to Sarabi to tell her what he believed had happened?

Would she have forgiven him? Would the pride have accepted him, or would they have considered him responsible for Mufasa's death?

Personally, I believe Sarabi would have supported him, but I'm not sure how the rest of the pride would have reacted. If he had stayed and spoken up from the beginning, would things have turned out better or worse for him and for the Kingdom?

One more thing: regardless of whether he stayed or left, I think his reaction was completely understandable for a child experiencing shock, fear, and guilt, so I don't want to focus on that aspect of the discussion.

In the end, was it better that he left, or would it have been preferable for him to stay and face the situation from the start? What do you think would have changed, for better or worse, if he had never left?

I'd love to hear your thoughts and theories.
