Oh my favourites are Throne of Glass and ACOTAR by Sarah J Maas! I just love her writing. And I’ve recently read This Savage Song by Victoria Schwab so I’ll definitely check out A Darker Shade of Magic! 😀

A Darker Shade of Magic is really good. I liked it. I have yet to get to This Savage Song though. It’s just sitting there on my shelf aha.
