read LOTR

I read both, personally I like the FMC from fourth wing more. I also like the character development more, ACOTAR doesn’t have character development, the best way to describe it is that Sarah J Mass loves her characters too much to develop them and lets them be flat characters that can do no wrong. Fourth Wings characters are put through it, and actually change, while the best development that Ferye(I don’t know how to spell her name) went through is being a bad bitch, damsel in distress(1/2)

Depends on how invested you want to be

Both are the equivalent of watching those reel shorts stories but as a book and such uncreative lore

I know I’m late to the game, but read whatever is most appealing to you. I never read ACOTAR and wasn’t a big fan of Fourth Wing, it’s not what I wanted out of a romantasy and dragged on for my liking with a lot of unnecessary repetitive wording, but based on what I’ve been spoiled of ACOTAR, Fourth Wing is arguably more appealing than ACOTAR. Writing alone, people’s tastes are different and i hope you enjoy Fourth Wing :)

If you read acotar you may be one a SJM high and not be too happy with fourth wing. If you read fourth wing first, you may enjoy it and thennnnn enjoy acotar

i finished acotar but couldn’t get through the first book of fourth wing if that helps 🤣🤣

I prefer fourth wing but I have a bias for dragons, and I dislike ACOTAR for several reasons that I’m very much in the minority on, but I feel like Fourth is a better action adventure with romance, while ACOTAR is more of a romance fantasy

I loved fourth wing but haven’t read acotar

Back to being a bad bitch, that once again Sarah J Mass doesn’t let her characters be in the wrong, ever, which is incredibly frustrating. (2/2)

Acotar for sure

Do yourself a favor, only read Fourth Wing and none of the rest in the series. They get progressively worse

fourth wing is the lesser of two evils imo
