    One thing they changed in the show I didn't like was Matthew letting Gillian live. I get it because the writers made her a lot more sympathetic in the show than the book character, but it took some of the weight out of being a vampire's mate. But overall, I agree that the first season was a very good adaptation that improved on the book in a lot of ways! And casting Angelica Houston and Alex Kingston as the matriarchs was a boss move. They both killed their roles throughout the series.

    • @aims2859
      @aims2859 Місяць тому

      Totally agree! I 100% meant to mention that they changed the Matthew/Gillian thing but it slipped my mind. I'm guessing they were worried how viewers would react to the idea of Matthew murdering someone Diana used to be friends with, especially since in Season 2 we actually witness the nitty gritty stuff he does in London as opposed to only hearing about it via Diana in the 2nd book.

    Hey there! New fan! I discovered your channel earlier when I saw part one of this series. I'm gonna warn you, if you do end up reading the third arc in the Warriors series "Power Of Three", just know that some of the books in that series aren't very well liked. Some of them are boring, the pacing is incredibly slow and the plot is basically non-existent. However a lot of important things to know happen so I wouldn't recommend skipping it entirely. Some books in POT have a lot of issues.. for example Outcast, which is pretty bad. I literally got so bored reading Dark River that I stopped reading halfway through and just listened to a book summary. If you're gonna read the third series in Warriors, go for it! I'd love to hear your thoughts! But just know it's not exactly the best... Eclipse is probably my FAVORITE book in Power Of Three. It's basically famous for a certain scene and character.. One more thing to say! -Erin Hunter also has a similar series to Warriors, but it has dogs instead! It's called Survivors! It's not very well known or popular as Warrior Cats but I'd love to see your thoughts on that too!

    • @aims2859
      @aims2859 4 місяці тому

      I've read POT already! Probably twice when I was younger. I stopped reading after the end of OOTS so I know everything that happens up until the end of that arc. I did start filming a readthrough of POT a few months ago but got a bit burned out around Eclipse. I might continue though if these videos pick up traction again! And tbh I don't really like dogs hahaha so that's why I never read Survivors. I did read Seekers (the bears) as a kid though!

    I cancelled my adult and ya subs last year because I felt the book selections just weren’t good! And then for several months (or it seemed that way) they did the cover art on the stenciled edge. And I hate that! Do something else! My last adult book was Shanghai Immortal which I’m very excited to read. I started it once and I was enjoying it, but I’m a mood reader and something else caught my eye. For the YA sub, some of the picks were letting me down, but it was mostly the editions that had me cancelling my sub. I wanted to cancel my YA box after I received the disappointing June box. But they were boasting “This edition is very unique and different from our norm!” Once I received my book I was disappointed AF! They had done all the elements before so I don’t get how they could even say this. I hate when they just flat out lie about what to expect in a book or their items. The prior month was Sing me to Sleep and they promised “This edition looks like the sea in book form and we love it.” Don’t make that kind of promise if you can’t pull through. I was so upset. I love the ocean and mermaids and sirens. This edition was pathetic. I’m subscribed to the Romantasy box. The first book is out for delivery today! I have high hopes because the editions and selections of both adult and ya have been so much better this year! And this will be my only subscription.

I'm going mid may through July and i'm only taking a travel capsule hiking wardrobe that is fully half of what you packed. Did you find you over-packed? Also that dirty clothes bag is usually for dirty and one side is for wet, like towels, swimsuits.

    Hey! Really nice video! Kinda glad youtube has started pushing videos with less views to my recommended. I am kind of surprised to see you don't get more views cause I really like your editing style :) - Interesting take on shipping Cinderpelt and Fireheart😅 I've always felt a little iffy about romantic mentor-apprentice relationships since it sort of mirrors a real life teacher-student dynamic, so I always saw them more as a brother-sister duo. Also, would love if you made a part 2 on the super editions! I also always thought the lake territory is worse than the forest, so would love a summary of one or more of the prequels! Might join you in reading the books again too. Watching the video I realized just how little I actually remember...😅 (Btw. You earned yourself a sub ;)
