Ok guys, so this is definitely meant to be a lighter discussion. So for most of these books, I don't really think they were trash, just that most of these were definitely weaker in a lot of aspects than the other books in the series. However, there are 2 books in particular on this list that honestly, really did suck and I genuinely didn't like them. But for the most part, I did like the books on this list, but I could tell they were missing things others in the series did have. Topic: Worst/Weakest Books In My Favorite Series 1. Throne of Glass (Throne of Glass #1) by Sarah J. Maas - Ok, So I think we've established I really enjoy the ToG series. Especially from Heir of Fire on. So why do I think book one is the worst of the series? Throne of Glass itself had 100% a different feel for me from the rest of the series. It felt clunky. It was the most awkward book of the series for me to read. It felt like I was reading it in chunks. It absolutely did not have the smooth flo...
