Are Harry Potter books good for adults?

There are seven main Harry Potter books. That's the core series. It runs from Sorcerer's Stone to Deathly Hallows. You also have a few extra books, like Fantastic Beasts, Quidditch Through the Ages, and The Tales of Beedle the Bard. There's also the play script, Cursed Child. But if you mean the main story, it's seven.

If you want to really get lost in the Harry Potter world, read the books in the right order. It makes the story hit deeper. You’ll follow the characters as they grow.

Most people say start with the publication order. That’s how the author meant for you to read them. You get the suspense built up the same way. The character arcs unfold naturally.

Read them in that order and you won’t miss a thing. Plot twists land better. New characters show up when they should. The magical world grows step by step. It all makes sense in context. You’ll feel closer to Harry and his friends.

It really depends on what you want. Throne of Glass leans more epic fantasy. You get assassins, battles, politics, and a big world. The plot builds a lot over the series, and many readers think it sticks the landing better.

A Court of Thorns and Roses leans more romantasy. It's heavy on fae courts, romance, and spice. The emotional pull is huge, and it's easier to binge. But some readers find the later books messy.

So if you want plot and a badass heroine, Throne of Glass might win. If you want romance and court drama, ACOTAR is probably your pick. Neither is objectively better—just different flavors.

Yeah, it's worth reading—especially if you like fantasy with a badass heroine. The first book is a bit rough around the edges, but the series gets way better as it goes. Celaena is fun to follow, and the world opens up in a big way. If you stick with it, you'll get epic battles, magic, and a lot of emotional twists.

But it's not perfect. Some people find Celaena too arrogant at first, and the romance can feel a bit dramatic. Also, the series is long, so it's a commitment. Still, most fans say it's worth it. If you like strong characters and a story that grows, give it a shot.

So, Throne of Glass is about an 18-year-old assassin named Celaena Sardothien. She’s been a slave in a brutal salt mine for a year. Then the Crown Prince offers her a deal: if she wins a deadly competition against other killers, she’ll earn her freedom.

She goes to the capital to compete, but she hates the royal family because the King murdered her own family. While she’s there, she gets close to two very different men: the Crown Prince, Dorian, and the Captain of the Guard, Chaol. But then contestants start dying in gruesome, mysterious ways. Celaena’s fight for freedom turns into a fight for survival, and she has to figure out what evil is lurking in the castle before it gets her too.

There are five main Game of Thrones books out so far. The series is called A Song of Ice and Fire, and the author plans seven total. So two more are still coming.

There are also a few side books, like Fire & Blood and the Dunk and Egg stories, but those aren't part of the main story.

Read them in publication order. Start with A Game of Thrones, then A Clash of Kings, A Storm of Swords, A Feast for Crows, and A Dance with Dragons. That’s the main series so far. Books four and five overlap, but reading them one after another works fine. Save the side books for later.

Yeah, pretty much. The books tell one long story. Skip around and you’ll miss who’s who and why things happen. Start with A Game of Thrones, then go in publication order. That’s the easiest way. The later books run side by side, but you still want the first three first.

So, Big Little Truths is the sequel to Big Little Lies. The story jumps forward ten years, and now the original moms are dealing with a whole new mess—but this time, it's their teenagers at the center of it all.

The plot kicks off when a severed human finger gets mailed to the school principal. At the same time, a creepy stranger in a green Volvo is spotted lurking around the kids, putting everyone in the tight-knit beachside community on edge.

Meanwhile, the original friend group is going through their own drama. Madeline is planning her 50th birthday, Jane's "perfect" marriage might not be so solid, and Celeste is still haunted by her abusive dead husband. The story flips between the moms and their teens, as they all get pulled into another messy mystery that forces them to face old secrets.

I'd say it depends on what you're looking for. A lot of people find it addictive, funny, and full of heart. The characters feel like old friends, and the drama is juicy. But it's not a tight thriller like the first book. It's more of a slow-burn look at gossip, family, and growing up, so some readers feel it's a bit too long and lacks that edge-of-your-seat suspense.

So if you loved Big Little Lies and just want to hang out with those characters again, you'll probably enjoy it. If you're expecting a fast-paced mystery, you might be disappointed. Also, it's definitely better to read the first book before this one—you'll be confused otherwise.
