I’ve actually never read Cinder 😢 but you best believe I’m still watching this video 😂
lol i never even heard of it
edit: wait im lying i checked it out at the library once and just didnt read it💀
I’ve seen this series in Chapters (🇨🇦) and other book stores but never read it. Now I’m excited to decide if I will enjoy it 🥳
realll
Read it!!! It's a great book!
Def should read it ! The series all together is four books (one novella, not necessary to read)
I LOVE this book series. Like, a cyberpunk retelling of Cinderella where she’s also ASIAN?!?! Yes, yes and YES!!! I think if all the books, Scarlet was my least favorite, since I just don’t care that much about little red riding hood.
Technically she isn’t Asian, she’s lunar
@@simonegardner4471 but her racial description is still described as asian
Scarlet was my least favorite as well, only because I absolutely loathe the "alpha/beta" bullshit that werewolf stories became. IT'S NOT A THING 😭
@@rightsarentpolitical It's fiction werewolves aren't a thing 😭
I get what you mean though and I think for me when it came down to it I just think that Scarlet just had less skin in the game, any connection she had to the plot had to do with someone else while every other title character had been affected first-hand by the plot.
@@djmensil7303 LOL fair point - I meant specifically with wolves, though. The trope comes from the misunderstanding of wolf packs, where there's an 'alpha', etc except the study that created it was very shortly after debunked - by the author - when they realized the wolf pack 'alpha' was literally the parent and besides the two leading parents, the rest were kids.
The werewolf mythological universe has spun into 'alphas', 'betas', and yes even the infamous 'omegas' from this misunderstanding, and the fact that's where it comes from is what is frustrating - had it been created from whole cloth it honestly wouldn't bother me as much.
PLEASE DO ALL THE BOOKS. I've read the entire series yet I will watch through all of your recaps
Man, I thought this said "PLEASE DO ALL BOOKS." 😔
If you liked the Cinder series, read the author's standalone book Heartless if you havent already!!!! Literally my favorite book ever and it would be fascinating to hear your take on it, especially since its pure fantasy setting and has some similar tones as Ever After High (and we all know you have a lot of thoughts on that one lol). I love Alice in Wonderland to a probably obsessive degree and Heartless is such a wonderful book that recreates Wonderland with a truly loving attention to detail.
agreed!! alice in wonderland may be my favorite and heartless definitely does it justice 🥹
Heartless is SO good!!
heartless is heart breaking 😭
Omg I was hoping someone commented this!!! Heartless is my favorite book ever!!
Yes absolutely! Heartless is so so good and isn highkey the reason I love joker/jester characters so much lol
My attachment to this series is unhealthy. I have read it 3 times and it has held up ever since, especially having read it at an older age. Yah, there are cliches, but Cinder is such a strong main character and KAI?!?!? My guy is amazing, deserves all of the love in the world ☝️☝️ Can't wait for the rest of the recaps!!
yessssssssssssss frrr he ISSSSSSSS
I had the biggest crush on Wolf when I was in middle school, he and Percy Jackson are the reasons why I would tell myself my type is tanned, Mediterranean guys with green eyes (Ironically don't think I've ever had a crush on a guy with greens eyes in my life).
So much of Amanda's channel can be summed up by "omg I loved this series in middle school and I completely forgot that it existed. This unhinged recap is making me want to reread it again as an adult" and I'm so here for it
We need recaps for all the books. This series was my favourite in 2015
Amanda explaining why Cinder is literally her copypasta
"Cinder is literally me. No other character can come close to relating to me like her. There is no way you can convince me that I’m not Cinder. Cinder could not possibly be any more me. It’s me, and nobody can convince me otherwise. If anyone approached me about this not possibly being me, I immediately shut them down with overwhelming evidence that Cinder was me. Cinder is absolutely me; it is indisputable. Why anyone would try to argue that Cinder is not me is beyond me. If you held two pictures of me and Cinder side by side, you’d see no difference. I can safely look at Cinder every day and say, “Yup, she’s me.” I can practically see Cinderwhenever I look at myself in the mirror. I go outside, and people stop me from commenting on how similar I look and act as Cinder is. I chuckle softly as I’m assured every day Cinder is me in every way. I can smile each time I get out of bed each morning, knowing that I’ve found my identity with Cinder and I know my place in this world. It’s amusing how similar she is to me; it’s almost like identical twins. When I first saw Cinder, I had an existential crisis. What if Cinder was the real me and I was the fictional being? What if she actually became aware of my existence? Did she have the ability to become self-aware?"
im crying
😂
“She just like me fr fr”
lmao
This series has such a special place in my heart omg
Omg Lunar Chronicles! I am not ashamed to say that I did actually spend money buying the only-on-e-book choose-your-own-adventure cross-over that she wrote where Cinder meets characters from her other series as she tried to get ready for her wedding.
No wayyy how much 👀for a friend ofc
@@m.josena4485 like 10 bucks I think
I was so obsessed with this series in middle school I even got my mom to read them and it's still one of our favorite series 8 years later
Cinder does not get enough LOVE! Thank you for covering these things that I love!!
YESSS SOMEONE WHO PRONOUNCES “IKO” RIGHT 😭 😭 although peony is actually pronounce pee-uh-nee and channary is pronounced “sha-narry” or possibly “sha-nah-ray.” Marissa Meyer has a whole pronounciation guide on her website! Apparently there are people out there who pronounce Kai as “kay” 😭
I was one of those people 😂
OH MY GOD. I gasped so loudly when I saw this in my recommended. I love this book series so much. I already know this is gonna be great.
NoooOOOOOOOOO please please please do the other books!!!!!!!!!!!!! I saw the thumbnail and thought you did the first three CRYYYYYY. I love these books. They opened me up to the wonderful world of Ao3. Cress X Thorne forever ❤️❤️❤️
When you posted this video, I already had Cinder on my tbr (and I actually tried to read it 3 other times but never actually finished it) so I saved the video for when I finished the book. This book is my new favorite fantasy/dystopian fiction ITS SO GOOD I need to immediately read through sequels
I think it would work infinitely better as an animated film, like I love these books, and a lot of the things in this book would look GORGEOUS in an animated film. Please continue this! I'd love your thoughts on the rest of the books. Winter is my favorite, even if it is a chunky book. I also like how each book was interspersed with fairytale quotes.
Yes exactly, I see the world so much more fleshed out if it's animated. Even as I read it so many years ago I imagined the characters as if they were illustrated in my head.
@@memorian8472 I envision this entire series as an 80s shoujo anime
Something about the way you explain books is so satisfying so glad i found your channel
I loveee the book Cinder!! These videos are always so fun too watch and entertaining though even if I’ve already read the book!! This is totally unrelated but I ADORE YOUR BIBBLE POSTER #ALLHAILBIBBLE
I absolutely ADORE the fact that canonically Marissa Meyers said that emperor Kaito looks like Kai from the K-pop group EXO!
The lunar chronicles series has a chokehold on me i reread scarlet repeatedly
img how did u know i just finished rereading the series?!? this is perfect timing
Omggggggggggggggggg Finally someone else knows about The Lunar Chronicles. It's one of my absolute fave book series with it's futuristic ,action-packed ,mature and dark retelling of these famous fairytales
stop it would be literally everything if u played cinder like i would be completely sat omg
I would love for you to do this whole series!!
I LOVED THE CINDER SERIES AHHHHHHHHHH
i got this book a LONG time ago because one of the employees recommended it to me and just got to reading it recently and im NOT DONE YET i will come back to this video

Literally one of my favorite series ever
I love this! I loved this series so much, I would love a recap of the rest of it
This is one of my favorite all-time favorite series! Please do the rest of the books!
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE DO THE OTHER BOOKS!!!! I always saw the Cinder books, but never got to reading them. I read others like hunger games, twilight, the selection, divergent, discovery of witches, etc. PLEASE DO MORE PARTS OF CINDER, Amanda. I love your vids

I remember reading this in high school and the ball had me so stressed out
Ok I NEED you to do a review on “divergent”

Yes yes yes yes yes yes yes PLEEEEAASSSSEEEE do a video on the rest of those books I absolutely loved them!!
Please do other books I love this series and it’s so underrated so happy to finally hear someone enjoying them as much as I do
This must be my all time favourite series. I've already re-read it twice (I usually don't reread) and I am craving a third re-read. It's just so good! Also please do make vids about the other books!!
After reading the last three books, I can finally watch this video😭
SAME HAHHAHA
YESSSS CINDER THANK YOU FINALLY SOME LUNAR CHRONICLES CONTENT !!😁😁😁

Yesss so excited you’re doing this series!! 🎉

Cinder in jail was like “sir this is a Wendy’s what are these words you are saying..”
Please please PLEASE do an unhinged recap of the Legend series by Marie Lu
This is legitimately my favorite book series, which is a bit awkward seeing what my username is lmao
Omg where did you get the Bibble poster from? It’s not a want it’s a need
I feel if we all send one (possibly two) dollars we could make a fan made movie adaptation. Amd I so want to talk/read about the books rn with someone lmao
"a bibble a day keeps the depression away"
So it IS as unhinged as I remember
YES SOMEONE ELSE WHO PRONOUNCES IT EE-KO
dude i relisten to the lunar chronicles every summer😭🫶🏼
I love listening to u read
please do the other books too!!
omg yess I love this series
I could not get through the books after Cinder. I hope you do recaps of those, too so I can know what happened
Technically, according to the author. Iko’s name is said how you say it. Nobody else says it like that but you are technically right😂
NOOOOO i need more
You are totally Cinder! I imagine she would like sort of like you!
PEE ONI!?!! PEONY. LIKE THE FLOWER. LIKE ELENA CALLS HER BELOVED FLOWER HOME WHICH I KNOW YOU KNOW WHAT IM TALKING ABOUT I SEE THE BIBBLE IN THE BACKGROUND
Right when you said she was both Ik right away she was celine
When you finish this, you should do an unhinged recap of the Monster High Books by Lisi Harrison because oh boy, they were wild
DO THE OTHER BOOKS!!!!! PLEEEEEEEASE
DO THE OTHER BOOKS PLEASE
I PRONOUNCE IKO THE SAME WAY 🔥
Your pronunciation of Peony is making me cackle bro
Yes please
Omg please do the rest of the lunar chronicles!!!???
Now I must reread cinder
Do the rest of the series and my life is yours....🧎
Okay hold on I can’t just let you brush on past that dcom comment! You didn’t have to call out my exact line of thinking like that 🫣
WAIT NO YOU ACTUALLY DID IT I CNT AMANDA THANK YOOOOOU
I literally manifested this thank u queen for making my dreams come true
The Lunar Chronicles was a major inspiration for the sci-fi script I wrote in college. Marissa Meyer announced last year that the series is being made into animated movies.
Really? It’s finally getting an adaptation??
Boooo, I want a live adaptation
ANIMATION?? Count me in oh my god
@@a.j.w9992 why would ypu ever want the books to limit themselves like that, there's so much scifi imagine how bad the effects would look! I could not disagree more
Yay! I don't know how I missed this news but thank you for the comment!
I recently read The Lunar Chronicles (like first half of 2023 and I'm reading All Stars Above) and I loved it, I was also pleasently surprised that the author didn't use the "not like other girls trope" considering what time it was written (like, Cinder isn't stereotypically femenine but it's more of not allowing herself to do so because how society treats cyborgs rather than feeling superior and she's still really supportive to the girls in the rampion crew). Also, the men in those books are top tier
I realized that in my recent reread too. As someone who always had a soft spot for "tomboy" characters it always irked me when they acted like they were "not like other girls". I resonated with their feelings of being an outsider and preferring non-traditional activities/style but not their hatred of femininity. I really enjoyed Cinder's character, her desire to be a normal girl but feeling too much like an outsider made me really endeared to her.
@@RHKang-hl3ps and I love her. I identified more with Cress because she was as delulu as I am. Either way, yeah, Cinder it's really more of a "I don't enjoy femenine activities, but I'll encourage you to be yourself" and I love her for that, also her whole journey. Cinder it's a really strong protagonist in the sense that she's really well written for me
@@chibibeingchibi3197I feel attacked!! Cress is my absolute favourite too!! Her delulu resonated within me and made her so endearing!!
@@sweetytweety1671 You can't tell me she isn't delulu, like miss girly imagined and developed a crush of a famous guy and needed to pretend to be another person to exist...that's the most me a character can get
I need to read the rest of this series
girl i do not play abt the lunar chronicles i need a tv show graphic novels movies soundtracks tv interviews fan cams annoying tiktok videos and a cast filled w sexy talented unknown actors of hollywood
I mean, it's not 100% the same as everything you're requesting, but there is a fanmade audio drama of TLC!
Commenting before watching the video: I loved this series. Yeah it has some cliches and bonkers moments and contrivances and weirdly done but okay prequel and short stories and epilogue book, but it has a good nostalgic place in my heart. Though the new character covers are pretty, I do like the minimalistic sorta simplicity of the originals. I have all of them, the ones with the original cover. The characters were pretty great and though the trope of chosen ones are done to death I do love this series still.
The Lunar Chronicles is one of my favorite series of all time and Cinder is easily the best one out of them all (in my opinion) - I would love to see your take on the others too!
Despite being written in the 2010s, his and Cinder's relationship, and the book as a whole, still absolutely hold up today and I love rereading this story because it's just as good every time. It's full of cliches and tropes, but the characters and story are so fun that I don't care! Plus, the whole thing with Kai's and Cinder/Selene's names meaning the ocean and moon... it's SO cheesy, but I eat it up every time.
(potentially spoilers for later books for those who haven't read)
The elevator scene still gets me EVERY TIME. (The way Marissa Meyer writes love interests >>>) And then the "you're even more painful to look at than she is" hurts so much, but then to later learn he thought she was too beautiful because of her gift is just! He is so down bad for her and YES it's low-key love at first sight and YES they've known each other for a few months throughout this whole thing, BUT they take four books to learn about each other and don't get together until the end and it's so satisfying and well-done and I love it!
it's so sad that there hasn't been any adaptation of this series yet, but I'm also kind of grateful because I would be devastated if it got butchered. (Though I heard there were rumors about it getting animated movies?) Would love to see you be involved in some way or make a cameo - make it happen, Marissa!
I just saw that it was optioned to be an animated film. I hope they do it justice!
These books have such a special place in my heart! I loved how diverse the main cast was and how all the girls were badass and totally allowed to be feminine! I also feel like Levana is a good example of a villain with a tragic past that doesn't excuse her actions.
Most female action characters aren't masculine though. There's a difference between masculinity and casual/Practical clothing.
You made me reread The Hunger Games and NOW you are making me reread The Lunar chronicles. If I turn into my 12 year old dorky self I'm solely blaming you Amanda!
YESSSSSSSS REALLLLLLLLLLL
For future reference peony is pronounced pe-uh-nee. It's a flower😂. Also I absolutely adore this series. It is one of my favorite book series ever
oh my gosh, I'm so glad someone said it. It was driving me SPARE XD
yes.. icl that was irking me lol
I loved this book series but Kai is so fricken funny he is so down bad
Okay I haven’t actually watched the video yet because I don’t want any spoilers but the timing is crazy. I bought Cinder YEARS ago and finally started reading the series about a couple weeks ago!
I read this series for the first time as an adult late last year and i absolutely loved it 😭 i just know teen me would've eaten these books up had i read it then.
I swear we had the same exact childhood, every time I see your videos under my recommended it’s always something i loved reading or watching growing up 🤞
Pronouncing it "iko" makes sense, it's Asian, but also in any language other than English lol. If it were "eyeko" it would be "aiko" ...
Also, I never knew much about these books and haven't read them... but I'm definitely going to now!
I absolutely love this book series🤭 your recap put a huge smile on my face 🥰
Amanda thank you for reminding me how much I love this series. imma reread it now. i remember when i started reading Scarlett in high school I was sweating in my very mormon home because it was a little bit spicy. I can’t wait to revisit this series.
Please do Scarlet, Cress and Winter! I love the Lunar Chronicles!
Every time you post I'm happier I'm subscribed.
P.S i totally understand you wanting to be Cinder, i always wanted to be Winter😭. Even though she was supposed to be the most beautiful girl in the world even without her glamor. (My younger self was too confident for my own good)😂
