Overall, 'A Throne of Glass' was a fantastic read that left me eager for more. If you're a fan of fantasy, adventure, and strong female protagonists, you won't want to miss this series. Sarah J. Maas is a talented author, and I can't wait to see what she comes up with next.

Unfortunately, 'Velvet Sugar: Near Miss' by Everly Rain was a disappointing and frustrating read for me. The writing was clumsy and lacked clarity, making it hard to follow the story.

The characters were poorly developed and lacked depth, with unrealistic motivations and actions. The dialogue was stilted and felt like a series of info dumps rather than natural conversations.

The plot was convoluted and lacked coherence, with random events and twists that felt like they came out of nowhere. The pacing was slow and plodding, with too much repetitive exposition and not enough tension or conflict.
