It was actually awesome to hear your thoughts on ridding mythological tales of their original identity, because while I'm neither American nor anglophone, recent trends on retellings of "celtic" myths done by americans always make me wonder how does it feel to people who feel emotional personal connection with their myths to see this happen to them. I do research on modern folklore interpretations and what they lose in the process and why as part of my degree, so this is very interesting to me, but I feel like goes under the radar a lot in more anglophone spaces.
Read legendborn and bloodmarked last month for the first time and LOVED them both! Exceeded my expectations and are two of my new fave fantasy books. I can’t wait for oathbound.
Legendborn is one of my all time favourite books! I read it for the first time two years ago and I still think about it all the time. Bloodmarked is a fantastic sequel so I’m fairly certain you’ll enjoy it if you enjoyed Legendborn so much.
Noooo i'd hate it if it got a TV series it takes away the imaginary component of books i love 😭 (and obv if it does come out i can't just not watch it 🙄)
@@Gewoonaardig2 Think long term! Streaming has opened a gateway for the potential of good iterations of IP media (Witcher, Bridgerton, Umbrella Academy, etc) We get the right production company with the budget? It's gonna be GOOD.
I would 100% love a video essay on OUAT. I've never made it beyond the first, like, two seasons, but I'd love to hear someone else dive into it and discuss it.
As a welsh girl this book series is genuinely one of my favourites! I didn’t expect the welsh language to be shown so much in the book and it made me so excited!
I have never been so early with a UA-cam video, you’re videos are such a calming safe space for me. Hope you know you make a huge difference and much love❤️
Watching you read is infectious, to watch anyone get this much childhood joy and nostalgia from a book is so wonderful! As an English teacher who constantly tries to persuade kids into reading for pleasure, watching you read and dissect this bought me so much joy!! ❤
Legendborn is also my favorite YA Fantasy! Actually Legendborn and Bloodmarked are pretty much on equal footing. Can’t wait to see what you think of Bloodmarked!
I am so happy you read this!!! Bloodmarked was honestly even better prepare yourself 😅😅 Babel is a book I am TERRIFIED to read 😭😭 I know I need to push myself and just do it but the fear is real
I have been waiting for this video, yeeesss !! (Feeling v called out with the obsession starting with Merlin but also so true, what a SHOW...and yes OUAT was bad but I still turn to it as a comfort show :") )...anyway, I loved hearing your thoughts on this as you read! I agree, I think both the legendborn books are so well written and they both still live rent free in my head...genuinely one of my all time favourite fantasy series! I am so glad you loved the book and can't wait to hear what you think on bloodmarked!
You should read the FIREBORN trilogy! It's so amazing I was surprised by how good it was! ( Btw I'm not talking about Fireborne, I'm talking about Fireborn without the e lol 😂)
I loved this video because you also verbally react to what you're reading the same way I do lol. It's nice to see another reader do that as a way of processing what you're reading.
Legendborn is like top 3 favorite books of all time for me! I loved this vlog & I’m so glad you liked it! I loved hearing your thoughts. As a Southern Black American, I have never felt so seen in a book before & I was so curious if Black non-Americans felt the same way so I loved hearing you talk about that aspect as well. I am v inspired to read the books I’m afraid of now starting w priory 😅❤️💙
I liked reading this book for the Book Explorer's Tavern book club. Also, liked getting started a new book that I've put off for a while. Thank you for that and I also love the book club.
Jesus i love your videos🤎🤎this was so calming and wholesome! THIS is the type of reading vlogs people should do! I loved it. The vibe of your videos and edition is amazing!🤎🌼☺️
This is so serendipitous. I just read Legendborn and Bloodmarked in March after putting it off for years! I cannot wait another few years for the next books 😭
For me, Bloodmarked was even better than Legendborn, but I will say that you should prepare yourself. It is a lot, and will cover a lot of material. However, it is my favorite book.

I started rewatching Once Upon A Time, so im up for a video about this!
Just finished Our Share of Night--began reading the deceptively slim paperback and it took me about a month but I enjoyed every minute of it. Part of my current pattern of reading stories about ghosts with queer relationships, I can't get enough
The day that my bloodmarked copy came in I reread legend born that whole day, then read bloodmarked and I cried 💀💀
Bloodmarked was TOOO much 🙁

If Legendborn doesn't get a high-quality TV series, I WILL riot
No literally

I second this! I would also love a video on the BBC show Merlin!

read this and loved it but im scared to read the sequel.. will it top it for me idk
For me, Bloodmarked was even better than Legendborn, but I will say that you should prepare yourself. It is a lot, and will cover a lot of material. However, it is my favorite book.
I started rewatching Once Upon A Time, so im up for a video about this!
I'm so blown away by how well presented this intro was done. Whole video is 10/10 *
I like your reading series. Can't wait if someday you will react about shadowhunters universe.
I absolutely loved this video. I smiled throughout the whole thing! This was amazing. I got the recommendation from Shawnaci ❤
I recommend you watch "Was Merlin a Real Person?" by Horses (yes, that's his UA-camr name)
Just finished Our Share of Night--began reading the deceptively slim paperback and it took me about a month but I enjoyed every minute of it. Part of my current pattern of reading stories about ghosts with queer relationships, I can't get enough
I've always seen people talk about Legendborn but never really wanted to read it, but now, you've convinced me, I got the ebook 😏
You should read morgan is my name, book one of a trilogy. Soo good, strong women, romance, magic and beautiful landscapes.
not me giggling and kicking my feet whenever you giggle at THIS BOOOOOK
omg Ive been meaning to read this for MONTHS😭
“Do it slay her” he was talking about Alice being a savage, going off on Victoria.
Eventually can you do a vlog reading Chalice of the gods? Or will that be once the other books come out?
This was such a wholesome video to watch; I loved Legendborn and am so happy to see you be so equally obsessed with it!
I still have to read the series 😭😭
I’m sending you love and a great year❤❤❤
chalice of gods???????
I'm sad the Discord link is invalid :(
Try again! Thank you 😊
💛💛💛💛
I need to get myself a copy of Legendborn ASAP!
