Can’t believe that none of the reviews mentioned how a supposed deadly assassin who can use every kind of weapon can’t handle a pool cue - and wtf is a pool cue doing in a completely fantasy world? And how the hell does she not wake up when the captn is creepily staring at her from her unlocked bedroom door WHEN SHE’S SUPPOSED TO BE A HYPER ALERT ASSASSIN sheeeeeeesh
To be honest tho, I agree with the reviewers. And I defenitely hate this type of books - "badass heroine who is way too powerful and also happens to be the most beautiful creature that walks the earth, hence all this romance in the book!" it's just... nah I'll pass.
ONE OF THE WORST PARTS in the series is when she runs back to the place after being poisoned which I think is STUPID. I have a cousin who got a snake bite and made the mistake of running too. He survived but has to take better care of himself from now on. And the assassin should have died!
It makes sense if you read the sequels… they build on one another! It makes sense she’s wayyyy too powerful fighting humans because she isn’t human she’s fae
I read ACOTAR and there's no way I could be induced to read another book by SJM (unless I was to be handsomely compensated for my time and mental anguish......say to the tune of $5k?)
Paolini wrote ERAGON at 16 😅 like... I'm all for supporting young writers... I myself wrote a book at 15... and I know the pain of seeing your cringey creation edited... but I understood there's the NEED for someone to tell you "hey, this needs editing", especially if you're going to be an international bestseller. The editor WAS NOT 16 I assume, I assume there wasn't even an editor. How do you let gummy bears sneak into a fantasy world? This is the problem of this book.
Yeah, though they are long to read, they have so much content that you can imagine yourself in that world where there are concrete rules, sensible consequences, and raw characters that act much like us
This. Video. Is. LIFE! I agree 100% with everything, although I enjoyed the first couple of books. Especially the last one, it basically sums up the entire series, which literally becomes a romance with a little bit of plot.
That's good to know. I liked the first book, but the second one disappointed me SO MUCH. I gave up after book 3. I despised the main character and all her ridiculous love interests. The only thing that kept me reading was the secondary characters, which were much more interesting. Favorite quote: "A review that in hindsight was extremely suspicious... loaded with the kind of gushing enthusiasm that one would expect out of a rabid Twilight Fan"... and then whatever she says a review ruled by someone's reproductive urges. Awesome. It makes me kinda sad that such a story about a pretty girl (who happens to kick ass but so rarely it hardly qualifies) who whines a lot and makes men fall head over heals with her is so popular with the young adult crowd. Teen girls deserve a strong woman to admire. Caelena Sardothien is a terrible role model.
Karen Baer I remember your anger when I first asked you about this 😆 I’ve still not read past book 3, and honestly don’t know that I ever will. There are just so many other books out there that I want to read!!!
I haven't read past book 3 either, and I have been spoilt and I am soooooo glad I didn't continue. Also DESPISE with all my heart the second book in the ACOTAR series by her, so... yeah. Probably won't be reading much by her.
Real talk though, this book was overhyped and it was soooo disappointing. The supposed great scenes were ironically off-screen and summarized. She was described to be the 'best assassin' but most of the time she was the one getting spooked and barely shown any credentials of being a competent one at that. The pacing is 'blah' and most of the attention was given to dresses and giggling about the prince. A person who has to fight for her freedom won't lament on how thin she got in prison or how slavery may have taken away her beauty (which was denied by almost every character in the book) so instead of being a well-rounded female character, she came off as arrogant, whiny and flat-out vain.
Most of the stuff you view as negative attributes to the character I thought were good character flaws. When I started the book and I read the phrase “Adarlan’s greatest Assassin”, I was a little scared that we would get an OP character but they quickly establish that she’s WAY out of her element. Her first fight with Chaol is a loss which I liked because it presented a challenge for her to overcome. In fact Chaol Stick bonk became a funny idea in my head when I read that part of the book. When I looked at it like Celaena WAS a great Assassin but a year of torture practically brought her back to LV1 I had a lot more fun reading the book. And for ONCE we have a character show more emotion than just Sadness Happiness or Anger. She does get jealous, she does get frustrated, and she gains confidence as the book goes on, she doesn’t dwell on the idea that she isn’t beautiful anymore, although scars are a big part of her character. And she can be really funny, in fact a lot of this book is pretty funny. As for the giddy dress stuff my friend who got me into these books says that it’s stuff real girls think about. It was a little weird reading it as a guy but I eventually found it quite charming. Reading it two times I realized that it isn’t really an Fantasy Adventure story. It’s more of a light Fantasy Romance book with an adventure subplot. If you don’t like to read characters sitting around and talking with each other while occasionally a great action scene will pop up its just not your thing. It’s more for someone who likes Pride and Prejudice, stories where characters can just be themselves and figure out the story on their own rather than it being forced onto them by outside forces.
Assassin's Blade is a collection of 5 short novellas which will give background to her character and why she ended up in tat prison. They're set before the first book. Unfortunately the first book takes long and you don't get to see the character at her best.
I can relate to a lot of these reviews! The PLOT of the series (outside of the 101 love stories) is really good and well developed but I find the character development, traits and actions of the characters to be completely implausible. The character's personalities make little sense and I have a hard time believing they are capable of simply being themselves aside from perhaps 2 characters... Arobynn and Manon. Even the latter as the series comes to a close feels like she's losing everything about her that made her such a special character. The main character is the worst in the book and it's almost as if it's the immature suppressed teenager dwelling deep within S.J.Maas that she always wanted to unleash on the world. Quite frankly this character is toxic. The more time she spends around other characters, they all seem to blend into her. She literally sucks the life out of interesting characters. Lastly, what's with all the love story plots? What is this? The Valentine's Day movie?
Haha, my friend would 100% love to have a conversation with you about the various love stories. It's the reason she put the series down (among other things). She was so angry that there's a different love interest in almost every book, or MULTIPLE love interests within one book :O I've only read up to book three and don't know that I'll ever continue, but...we'll see. I constantly go back and forth on whether I should turn them into my local used bookstore for store credit :/
That toxicity of her on just the first book made me not want to continue, hard to like a book if you can't see the main character as likeable even if they are the embodiment of cool stuff and powers
The guy who took advice from his girlfriend: "The kind one should've expected out of a rabid Twilight fan." OH MY GOSH, I'M TEARING UP! Seriously, I love these videos! I hate Sarah J. Maas books with a passion, so I'm just happy to crack up at these scathing reviews along with everyone else. XD
Erised Moon Jeez you don’t have to be so rude about that! These books had her soul embedded into them. You do not need to hate on her creative flows. How would you like it if someone hated on something your good at? You need to stop being so negative to beautifully creative pieces. Don’t do that. Did you go to elementary school? Have you ever heard the saying if you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say anything at all. Follow that saying. God your so salty!!
I'm in the middle of 4th book of ToG and I'm litteraly hearbroken... Sure I was prepared for loads of handsome princes, prom dresses and not that deep dialogues and it was totally fine with me, I like that kind of stuff, but I also expected a love story. A great, epic love story that overcomes obstacles! But instead I got many illogical and shallow relationships. And it just make me sad and so disappointed. I'll never be fooled again Sarah J. Maas!
Actually, this is one of my favorite series i have ever read. i think the beginning was off on a rocky start, but after you are farther into the series you become so emotionally attached to the characters that it comes to the point where you cry when they cry. This series left me scarred in the most amazing way possible.
exactly! even by the end of the first book, i was so emotionally attached to chaol that i cried at the end. the end of crown of midnight crushed my soul seeing them apart!
Personally for me, I read until the day after the piano incident and stopped because everything I've read before that point just didn't do it for me and I don't want to suffer through the first book in order for me to be happy about the next ones or the series in general. No, in a book series, the first one sets the mood for the entirety of the story. And there are a bunch of trilogies I've gone through that got me hooked with the first sentence of the first book and this one consists of seven. Do I need to read four books before I can be happy about the series?
@@trishamariegarcia9067 Short answer: No. If you want to still read, read it online (for free if you know where to look), but don't buy it because you're honestly probably going to waste the money. I am reading it currently (I'm on book 5, which is Empire of Storms), and I still don't honestly like it that much. The MC is way too much of a Mary Sue, and the diversity... is literally nonexistent. Everyone is white and straight, POC? Nehemia was literally the only major POC, the others are 'tanned'. All the dudes are manly, ripped, possessive, territorial, and so full of fkin testosterone it's grating on my nerves. I do like one character, but that's mostly because she has yet to have shit romance. However, I know she is eventually going to have one and I am not looking forward to it.
Total agree with you.. loved the series, was a smooth read. I started with the prequel (assassins blade) and I’m really glad I did, I think that’s the best way to read it. SJM was writing throne of glass when she was super young.. I think the books get better as you go.
Never seen reviews be more accurate. Throne of Glass is terrible and the sequels devolve further from a Fantasy novel to ""which character is going to have sex with which next?" The characters are copy/pasted with different names. And I have not come across such a MarySue character in a VERY long time, and the MC is might be the biggest example.
Hahaha, that last one is my favorite! Does she like me? Does she like HIM??? I'll admit, I did almost DNF around 40%, but I powered through! I thought the ending and the ball scene made up for it :D
Bwahahaa!! this video brought me back to life :D TOG is the perfect example of how successfully appealing to the mainstream public is worth more than actually writing a decent story.
lolol I LOVE this. I haven't read these, but it sounds like from these reviews I probably wouldn't be able to suspend disbelief for it either. I LOL'd at the cardboard one!
Can you imagine that after reading these reviews I still went on and read it because I happened to stray on to the five star review area and thought to give it a chance. Biggest regret of my life. I stopped at 200 pages because the whole thing is a nightmare. Should've listened. Don't recommend it. If The Cruel Prince was shitty this was shittier. Ugh!
Back in the day, I was hearing all about the ToG series and was looking up the order of books to start out, but before that, I happened to read "The Selection" series by Kiera Cass (at least up till the "trilogy"). I dunno what came over me and what I was looking to get out of the series, but it's those pretty, pretty covers man! Maybe I was trying to read something entirely new. I went in expecting like a beauty contest or something, and there probably was some of that, but there was also some dystopia, some politics, some mysteries, and love trapeziums, etc. It was at that time that I learned the power of the funny one star reviews! I found one person's serious-sounding but hilarious review for the first book and I think they made it their mission to read (and review) the whole series just to like, feel pain or something. I was just looking for the same review today but couldn't find it, unfortunately. But I stumbled upon this gem!
I love this series, and Throne of Glass too, haha, but the last books have really not been my thing. I've still to read Tower of Dawn, which many people praised, but I find the criticism o the characters and these books SO FUNNY, even though I love them! Literally, I'm laughing my ass out watching this! They're all so right oh my gosh!!!
Ella Adam haha, that’s ok! I’m not a huge fan tbh. I’ve read the first three throne of glass books and thought they were ok, but idk if I’ll ever finish the series 😆
The last few comments were hilarious!!!😂. I did actually enjoy the books (I read all of them). There were definitely parts of each book that I thought to myself, “really?” But overall I did like them. But these reviews are hilarious
I just came from a video that the reviewer said this is a damn good novel, and all the comments there are focusing on the romance relationship of the characters, I just can’t help to think TOG is another Twilight story, glad I just read half the book and stoped.
I love these videos!! I liked ToG and the rest of the series but can totally see where people are coming from, their rants are so funny though! My favourite is the last one with all the "kapow"s! 😂😂
I just finished reading this book and the reviews you read were totally on point. I said pretty much the same things in my review, but I didn't hate the book as much as them. It was still an ok fun book to read. There was silly and stupid stuff in it, but fast pacing and yet I had enough time to really get to know the protagonist. I figured, it's YA and I'm an adult, not the target reader. My expectations weren't that high. I gave it some slack and rated it three stars.
😂😂 I also felt that way too in some parts in tog 😂😂😂 Reading the first book was quite difficult, especially since i dislike a main character who is so badass and who has it all. But i managed to finish it and read the other books, and I was glad I did 😍😍 celaena is a person who is more focused on herself, that she fails to realize the whole picture. But as the time goes by, her self realization and development grow better. I love her more now than i love her in tog. Especially in the EoS 😭😭😭 honestly, i think it was the best decision to read the rest of the book and to not give up.. there is more to this series. 😊 IG: @kei_thehuman
I went to my library last night to check out Throne of Glass but book one was all checked out, I am going to read this series. I love hearing these reviews Elliot.
The sad part about loving th ENTIRE series is knowing the first 2 books ARE IN FACT about simple teen crushes with some knives mixed into it and therefore UNDERSTANDING why people stopped at 2 books if not earlier (I personally still love those 2 books though, sure they aren't the EPIC FABTASY TYPE like the rest of the series....but because the rest of the series is so intense I often miss the simplicity of the first 2 books if only because our main characters didn't feel the constant pressure of war as much back then)
I love this series so much. I lol so much especially at that last one. I think you should do Dorothy Must Die. People either love or hate that book. I love it but I'd love to see the funny reviews you find for it.
Oh its amazing. It's a Wizard of Oz sequel/retelling kind of lol it's about another girl from Kansas who gets sent to oz but this oz is not the one she grew up knowing. Dorothy returned and took over. Dorothy kills those who don't agree with her. I'm a HUGE Wizard of Oz fan and I LOVE these books. I have yet to read the forth and final book because I don't want it to end lol
I literally just read a one star review of this book on Goodreads. I couldn’t stop laughing. Look for someone called Kitten with a lot of swearing and sarcasm.
I love these videos!!! And I need to do one for my fave books (will credit and link back to you). Doesn’t it make you wonder if you read the same book as them at times?
AllThingsEquilateral hahaha, it does! I mean, even if I don’t love a book, I usually don’t hate it as much as some do these people do 😆 And let me know if you do end up doing something like this! I’d love to see it! And thanks for saying you’d credit me. That’s very kind 💕
For the person who wrote the comment about "lowering the standards for female assassins" MUST have missed the part where Celaena used to be a SLAVE for 1 YEAR and had lost a lot of weight, had NO training and overall was malnourished and weak... but yeah
I’m almost done with the way of kings the first part one book!! Really enjoying I really like kaladin character at the moment.. 😄😄 happy reading to u thanks for the message always
I love this video, I am one of the could not finish the series, I read book one and part of book 2 that was enough for me, I found celena extremely annoying, just my opinion x
suzanne cattanes she’s definitely super annoying. I’ve read through the end of book three, which ended up being my favorite of the three because she gets beat up ALL THE TIME in that one 😆
The first book is honestly...meh but bear with the series till the 3rd book. The real story starts from the third book. The starting 2 books are average coz sarah got a contract for just 3 books and tried to keep the plot simple. But around halfway through writing the third one her contract was increased to six books.
SJM is a good writer and knows how to sometimes write good paragraphs but she takes romance what should be a sup plot into the main plot so actually the blur at the back of the book should be. Clumsy assassin who flirts with every male character in the book series. Also she likes book's and chocolate isn't she just relatabel :D ?
BooksAndJams haha, they’re definitely not for everyone 🤣 if I pick them back up, I think I’ll just expect to like them in a guilty pleasure kinda way 😆
I just realized i contradicted myself, a few weeks ago I said I would not read this series, I should stick to that or at least try book one. A little help here should i read it or not?
I've read the first five novels. And the funny thing about the description of characters is that I imagined Rowan to look like an orc from the Warcraft movie hihi.
YOURE SO GREAT FOR DOING THE OMF WOWW. I just read this book and I'm legit going to laugh my ass off at this video I can already tell. I guess I'm the only one who pronounces Chaol cHaol. SMH Celaena is so hated I have no idea why skvkd
Okay, despite the fact that I really didn't like the first two books in the series, I actually love the ToG series 😂😂😂but I still found this hilarious. I find the plot and world building and writing in the later books in the series to be very great and well developed. My problem lies in some of the characters, how a lot of the male characters just seem to have to be same "walls of muscle" with different hair and eye colours and some of them lack depth and development. I disliked the heterocentric romance we got throughout most of the series and the lack of diversity though I guess that was kind of fixed in the most previous book where we got an almost entirely poc cast. And I also did not like how so many characters were being paired off in thrown into relationships even if it just felt forced. In the first book which you're reviewing I found the characters to be very one dimensional, they lacked development and depth and sensible motives, I found the plot to be very thin, we're supposed to be in a death competition fighting for Celaena's freedom but we barely feel the tension or urgency of this situation as the author shoves aside the competition and glosses over most of it to make room for more flirting, winking and candy which I don't necessarily mind but there's more pressing issues to deal with which I'd rather read about. It had an intriguing premise which had the potential to be an overall amazing and exciting book but that potential was squandered in the first book. The first book was "A shallow, deceitful collection of words and sentences that fails to deliver" 😂😂 I thought that as the series progressed the characters got more development, and the plot got thicker and more interesting, stakes got higher and I could feel the threat, the looming danger and threat of war which I really enjoyed reading about. The series as a whole is one of my faves, I really enjoy reading it and I really love most of the characters and I'm intrigued by the plot but I've still got some problems with it, I'm a fan of the series, but I'm not biased, I'll treat it and critique it as I do any other series 😂
Finally someone who thinks alike me! I find the plot great, but what really is messed up about this series is that most characters lack personality, they're just stereotypes with no depth at all
Lmao this is such a great video😂😂 do you care if I do one of these for a different series? Obvs I'll give you full credit for your idea 😋😜 Lmao I love people😂 the last one is hilarious 😂
Well, I knew something was off when asked how many guards she killed on her first attempt to escape, she said 20 fuckin 4!! With a pickaxe, mind you, but I kept reading. Finally, I put it down after she defeated the 4th guy she fought with the complicated technique of "sweep the feet ".
eleni s. uhhhh....I don’t care for C (I forget how to spell it too :P) and I didn’t mind Feyre in the first ACOTAR. She drove me nuts in ACOMAF, though, so that’s tough 😆
So many people hated on Celaena's personality, how she's basically like a cat how she'll be focused one moment and then easily distracted the next, but that's just part of her charm. And you learn why she's so fond of books as you go deeper into the story. You learn more about her as you go on. And, yes, she did focus on outfits a lot . . . because she's a girl! Heck, those who've read the whole series know more than that! Also, understand, she had been INPRISONED for quite a while. She didn't have those luxuries while she was down there. She was beaten and abused and forced to work. They tired her out and, honestly, she's appreciating the small things. Honestly, that's what I'll do when the pandemic's over. Have a better appreciation for things I love like libraries, book stores, cafes and bakeries, all the places Celaena would probably go to.
I have to give Throne of Glass credit. I discovered booktube because I was confused what happened in the last battle. So I started looking for video reviews and voila booktube. It wasn't as bad as these reviews made it seem but didn't instill in me a burning fire to continue reading.
Myn Kobayashi haha, it’s definitely not as bad as these people make it out to be. I personally don’t think it’s bad at all-it’s just not my favorite thing ever. It’s a typical YA book to me :)
Tbh all the side characters are all structured/defined by their love interests. It’s all flimsy romance and teen shit. The main character is a total Mary Sue that is only badass by name. I’m usually the type that would NEVER drop a series despite not liking it but when I read TOG, I just can’t handle it and have drop it on the fifth book. I wasted so much time in hoping the story would progress to be better. The first 3 books feels like a prologue even the 4th one tbh.
Abibliophobe27 hahaha, while most of the reviews are quite accurate, I’d just advise going into the book with a “I’m not going to take this too seriously” mindset. You’ll probably enjoy it more that way 😆
Elliot, sorry you are hearing from me a lot, but I would like to hear about one star reviews of Fablehaven by Brandon Mull, that is one of my all time favs also would like to hear what you personally thought about it
Please do one on ACOTAR too.That one is insanely popular.I read only rhe first two and decided anything written by Sarah J Maas should be kept a mile away from me.😩 I hated her writing style and characters with an all consuming passion. 😱 IG: @zish_wordsforchange
I love this idea, so fun! There’s an absolutely hilarious review of the Book Thief on Goodreads, although the reviewer actually gave it 3 stars, it reads like a 1-Star review. You might not want to read it on your channel because it’s pretty vulgar, but it’s hilarious!
Tales of Adventure haha, that reminds me, someone suggested I do this for 50 Shades, and I’m so afraid I won’t be able to read any of the negative reviews 🤣
Omg Sooo true!! EVERY REVIEW!😂 I hate this series so much that even looking at the cover gives me chest pains. Where are negative star ratings when you need ‘em! I HATE IT WITH A LIVID PASSION!
I mean the person who says hr throwing up over cramps is simply she hasn't hade her cycle in a WHILE, that shit gotta hurt including how for me my cramps are horrible. Maybe Assassin's Blade wasn't out but if they read that first they wouldn't be complaining
As someone who loves to do a lot of kick ass things and is a boy mom who's always playing rough, I also 98% of the time have a full face of makeup on and can appreciate a good dress. I feel like I could be a shockingly girly assassin and still be quite deadly hahahah just saying.
I recently download Goodreads competition Byzans and was SHOCKED at how HORRIBLE it was. It works by you joining groups for books you have read or are reading so you can discuss the books. Throne of Glass series books all had several hundred members while ALL of the classic books (1984 Anna Karenina Madam Bovary Great Gatsby to kill a mockingbird ect) had five members each at MOST. I was SHOCKED! Yet it suddenly made sense to me why so many people are fans of the Throne of Glass series. They have never read any classics so therefore have no idea what a good book is or what good writing is. They have nothing to compare this horrible series to so they just assumed it must be the best. Please I advise everyone to read at least one classic book on your own. That way you will be able to recognize good books instead of fawning over literal trash.
Give it a go at least. TOG is one of those series where half of the readers hate it while the other half adores it. I'd suggest just don't expect perfection for like 2 books. If anything, those are where Celaena is trying to "be who she wants to be AKA irresponsible" and after that is where she finally changes in one important sense. If anything, expect a fairy tale type of story filled with crushes, ballrooms and a bit of adventure. Because really, the action and high-ish fantasy don't begin till book 3. Also, another suggestion, don't get invested in the romances too much until book 3 either because then it'll just be annoying for you.
Don’t read it, it’s a waste of time. A year ago I bought the entire series so I felt obligated to read it. I was hoping for it to get better after finishing the first 3 but then I felt TOG is giving me depression for how bad it is. I burned the series on the fifth book. Didn’t finish it. Try Chinese novels but if you can’t read Chinese, try the translated version. It’s REALLY good. Start with the basic; english name is “THE GRANDMASTER OF DEMONIC CULTIVATION.”
@@ubermenschzarathustra862 yeah...half the readers feel that way. I get why. At the same time the other half absolutely love it. Its why i have suxh a hard time suggesting it to my friends, its just one of those series thats unpredictable for different people. For 2 of my reader friends, one loves it while the other hates it.
Lol, Oathbringer (the third) came out like a few months ago, a fourth book coming any time soon would be amazing, but unreal. Thankfully Mr. Sanderson has a LOT of books to pick from.
I have to admit that going through one star reviews of SJM books is one of my guilty pleasures. The stuff people post on there is hilarious!
Khaled Jaber hahaha, it’s one of my guilty pleasures too! Well, not just her books, but any book 😆
Can’t believe that none of the reviews mentioned how a supposed deadly assassin who can use every kind of weapon can’t handle a pool cue - and wtf is a pool cue doing in a completely fantasy world? And how the hell does she not wake up when the captn is creepily staring at her from her unlocked bedroom door WHEN SHE’S SUPPOSED TO BE A HYPER ALERT ASSASSIN sheeeeeeesh
To be honest tho, I agree with the reviewers. And I defenitely hate this type of books - "badass heroine who is way too powerful and also happens to be the most beautiful creature that walks the earth, hence all this romance in the book!" it's just... nah I'll pass.
Eirvven oh I agree with a lot of these too!Haha, I just don’t think the things they mentioned made me quite as angry as it did them 😆
She’s a total Mary Sue.
ONE OF THE WORST PARTS in the series is when she runs back to the place after being poisoned which I think is STUPID. I have a cousin who got a snake bite and made the mistake of running too. He survived but has to take better care of himself from now on. And the assassin should have died!
It makes sense if you read the sequels… they build on one another! It makes sense she’s wayyyy too powerful fighting humans because she isn’t human she’s fae
I read ACOTAR and there's no way I could be induced to read another book by SJM (unless I was to be handsomely compensated for my time and mental anguish......say to the tune of $5k?)
She supposedly started writing this at 16
You can tell
Paolini wrote ERAGON at 16 😅 like... I'm all for supporting young writers... I myself wrote a book at 15... and I know the pain of seeing your cringey creation edited... but I understood there's the NEED for someone to tell you "hey, this needs editing", especially if you're going to be an international bestseller. The editor WAS NOT 16 I assume, I assume there wasn't even an editor. How do you let gummy bears sneak into a fantasy world? This is the problem of this book.
So much respect to everyone who dislike this book.
Wait until you read the sequel and then everyone will worship YOU for hating that book like I do
“I can’t cover Stormlight Archives with Throne of Glass” -> loved that.
Yeah, though they are long to read, they have so much content that you can imagine yourself in that world where there are concrete rules, sensible consequences, and raw characters that act much like us
😂😆🤣 These are hilarious. That last one...!!! Dead.
Love ToG (series as a whole) though 😆😜💜
Jashana C haha, some of them pretty accurately describe the book 😂
Elliot Brooks They really do 😜
This. Video. Is. LIFE! I agree 100% with everything, although I enjoyed the first couple of books. Especially the last one, it basically sums up the entire series, which literally becomes a romance with a little bit of plot.
Rekha Ravikumar haha, romance with a little bit of plot seems to be kinda her style 😆 I’ve not read the last two that are currently out.
That's good to know. I liked the first book, but the second one disappointed me SO MUCH. I gave up after book 3. I despised the main character and all her ridiculous love interests. The only thing that kept me reading was the secondary characters, which were much more interesting. Favorite quote: "A review that in hindsight was extremely suspicious... loaded with the kind of gushing enthusiasm that one would expect out of a rabid Twilight Fan"... and then whatever she says a review ruled by someone's reproductive urges. Awesome. It makes me kinda sad that such a story about a pretty girl (who happens to kick ass but so rarely it hardly qualifies) who whines a lot and makes men fall head over heals with her is so popular with the young adult crowd. Teen girls deserve a strong woman to admire. Caelena Sardothien is a terrible role model.
Karen Baer I remember your anger when I first asked you about this 😆 I’ve still not read past book 3, and honestly don’t know that I ever will. There are just so many other books out there that I want to read!!!
I haven't read past book 3 either, and I have been spoilt and I am soooooo glad I didn't continue. Also DESPISE with all my heart the second book in the ACOTAR series by her, so... yeah. Probably won't be reading much by her.
Rekha Ravikumar I didn’t care did that one either. I’m pretty surprised it’s as loved as it is, but to each their own I guess!
Real talk though, this book was overhyped and it was soooo disappointing. The supposed great scenes were ironically off-screen and summarized. She was described to be the 'best assassin' but most of the time she was the one getting spooked and barely shown any credentials of being a competent one at that.
The pacing is 'blah' and most of the attention was given to dresses and giggling about the prince. A person who has to fight for her freedom won't lament on how thin she got in prison or how slavery may have taken away her beauty (which was denied by almost every character in the book) so instead of being a well-rounded female character, she came off as arrogant, whiny and flat-out vain.
In the first book, kinda. It wasnt as noticable in the rest.
Most of the stuff you view as negative attributes to the character I thought were good character flaws.
When I started the book and I read the phrase “Adarlan’s greatest Assassin”, I was a little scared that we would get an OP character but they quickly establish that she’s WAY out of her element. Her first fight with Chaol is a loss which I liked because it presented a challenge for her to overcome. In fact Chaol Stick bonk became a funny idea in my head when I read that part of the book. When I looked at it like Celaena WAS a great Assassin but a year of torture practically brought her back to LV1 I had a lot more fun reading the book.
And for ONCE we have a character show more emotion than just Sadness Happiness or Anger. She does get jealous, she does get frustrated, and she gains confidence as the book goes on, she doesn’t dwell on the idea that she isn’t beautiful anymore, although scars are a big part of her character. And she can be really funny, in fact a lot of this book is pretty funny.
As for the giddy dress stuff my friend who got me into these books says that it’s stuff real girls think about. It was a little weird reading it as a guy but I eventually found it quite charming.
Reading it two times I realized that it isn’t really an Fantasy Adventure story. It’s more of a light Fantasy Romance book with an adventure subplot. If you don’t like to read characters sitting around and talking with each other while occasionally a great action scene will pop up its just not your thing. It’s more for someone who likes Pride and Prejudice, stories where characters can just be themselves and figure out the story on their own rather than it being forced onto them by outside forces.
Book; The next trial is coming up!
Me; Finally
Book; Yes, so they did X and that was the trial, back to romance and gowns!
Assassin's Blade is a collection of 5 short novellas which will give background to her character and why she ended up in tat prison. They're set before the first book.
Unfortunately the first book takes long and you don't get to see the character at her best.
I can relate to a lot of these reviews! The PLOT of the series (outside of the 101 love stories) is really good and well developed but I find the character development, traits and actions of the characters to be completely implausible. The character's personalities make little sense and I have a hard time believing they are capable of simply being themselves aside from perhaps 2 characters... Arobynn and Manon. Even the latter as the series comes to a close feels like she's losing everything about her that made her such a special character.
The main character is the worst in the book and it's almost as if it's the immature suppressed teenager dwelling deep within S.J.Maas that she always wanted to unleash on the world. Quite frankly this character is toxic. The more time she spends around other characters, they all seem to blend into her. She literally sucks the life out of interesting characters.
Lastly, what's with all the love story plots? What is this? The Valentine's Day movie?
Haha, my friend would 100% love to have a conversation with you about the various love stories. It's the reason she put the series down (among other things). She was so angry that there's a different love interest in almost every book, or MULTIPLE love interests within one book :O I've only read up to book three and don't know that I'll ever continue, but...we'll see. I constantly go back and forth on whether I should turn them into my local used bookstore for store credit :/
That toxicity of her on just the first book made me not want to continue, hard to like a book if you can't see the main character as likeable even if they are the embodiment of cool stuff and powers
The guy who took advice from his girlfriend: "The kind one should've expected out of a rabid Twilight fan." OH MY GOSH, I'M TEARING UP!
Seriously, I love these videos! I hate Sarah J. Maas books with a passion, so I'm just happy to crack up at these scathing reviews along with everyone else. XD
Hahaha, some of these are so funny. People can be so creative with their hatred :P
Erised Moon I've never read a Sarah j mass but her books get very high ratings at goodreads.com.Why do you hate her books?
Erised Moon Jeez you don’t have to be so rude about that! These books had her soul embedded into them. You do not need to hate on her creative flows. How would you like it if someone hated on something your good at? You need to stop being so negative to beautifully creative pieces. Don’t do that. Did you go to elementary school? Have you ever heard the saying if you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say anything at all. Follow that saying. God your so salty!!
@@adelinelupin-malfoy358 Well if you love her so much why don't you marry her?
Adeline Lupin-Malfoy Pfftttt you sound like the type of author who expects everyone to like your creations and can’t handle the slightest criticism.
I'm in the middle of 4th book of ToG and I'm litteraly hearbroken... Sure I was prepared for loads of handsome princes, prom dresses and not that deep dialogues and it was totally fine with me, I like that kind of stuff, but I also expected a love story. A great, epic love story that overcomes obstacles! But instead I got many illogical and shallow relationships. And it just make me sad and so disappointed. I'll never be fooled again Sarah J. Maas!
Actually, this is one of my favorite series i have ever read. i think the beginning was off on a rocky start, but after you are farther into the series you become so emotionally attached to the characters that it comes to the point where you cry when they cry. This series left me scarred in the most amazing way possible.
exactly! even by the end of the first book, i was so emotionally attached to chaol that i cried at the end. the end of crown of midnight crushed my soul seeing them apart!
Personally for me, I read until the day after the piano incident and stopped because everything I've read before that point just didn't do it for me and I don't want to suffer through the first book in order for me to be happy about the next ones or the series in general. No, in a book series, the first one sets the mood for the entirety of the story. And there are a bunch of trilogies I've gone through that got me hooked with the first sentence of the first book and this one consists of seven.
Do I need to read four books before I can be happy about the series?
@@trishamariegarcia9067
Short answer: No.
If you want to still read, read it online (for free if you know where to look), but don't buy it because you're honestly probably going to waste the money. I am reading it currently (I'm on book 5, which is Empire of Storms), and I still don't honestly like it that much. The MC is way too much of a Mary Sue, and the diversity... is literally nonexistent. Everyone is white and straight, POC? Nehemia was literally the only major POC, the others are 'tanned'. All the dudes are manly, ripped, possessive, territorial, and so full of fkin testosterone it's grating on my nerves. I do like one character, but that's mostly because she has yet to have shit romance. However, I know she is eventually going to have one and I am not looking forward to it.
@@УТКА-ш7и out of curiosity, was that one character you liked Manon Blackbeak?
Total agree with you.. loved the series, was a smooth read. I started with the prequel (assassins blade) and I’m really glad I did, I think that’s the best way to read it. SJM was writing throne of glass when she was super young.. I think the books get better as you go.
I didn't read the book, but at least now i know that she's a deadly assasin :)
I hated every single page of this book and agree with all of this. This made my day ❤️
Stephanie Lechelt hahaha, I’m glad!!! ❤️❤️❤️
Never seen reviews be more accurate.
Throne of Glass is terrible and the sequels devolve further from a Fantasy novel to ""which character is going to have sex with which next?"
The characters are copy/pasted with different names. And I have not come across such a MarySue character in a VERY long time, and the MC is might be the biggest example.
I thought I was the only one who noticed it. I just couldn't stomach it anymore. I had to stop.
If you want a good assassin then enjoy Robin Hobbs books in the Farseer Trilogy
Dianne Polmanter yes, I need to get some Hobb!!!
Hahaha, that last one is my favorite! Does she like me? Does she like HIM???
I'll admit, I did almost DNF around 40%, but I powered through! I thought the ending and the ball scene made up for it :D
A World of Words I think it’s best to just not take the books too seriously 😆 And I agree, the last one is hilarious!!! Kapow 🤛
I was debating whether to buy throne of glass! I got my answer. Thank you, Elliot!
Bwahahaa!! this video brought me back to life :D TOG is the perfect example of how successfully appealing to the mainstream public is worth more than actually writing a decent story.
lolol I LOVE this. I haven't read these, but it sounds like from these reviews I probably wouldn't be able to suspend disbelief for it either. I LOL'd at the cardboard one!
Hahaha, the cardboard one is so funny! It's such an interesting and creative way for that person to describe their anger and hatred for the book :P
Can you imagine that after reading these reviews I still went on and read it because I happened to stray on to the five star review area and thought to give it a chance. Biggest regret of my life. I stopped at 200 pages because the whole thing is a nightmare. Should've listened. Don't recommend it. If The Cruel Prince was shitty this was shittier. Ugh!
Back in the day, I was hearing all about the ToG series and was looking up the order of books to start out, but before that, I happened to read "The Selection" series by Kiera Cass (at least up till the "trilogy"). I dunno what came over me and what I was looking to get out of the series, but it's those pretty, pretty covers man! Maybe I was trying to read something entirely new.
I went in expecting like a beauty contest or something, and there probably was some of that, but there was also some dystopia, some politics, some mysteries, and love trapeziums, etc. It was at that time that I learned the power of the funny one star reviews! I found one person's serious-sounding but hilarious review for the first book and I think they made it their mission to read (and review) the whole series just to like, feel pain or something. I was just looking for the same review today but couldn't find it, unfortunately. But I stumbled upon this gem!
I love this series, and Throne of Glass too, haha, but the last books have really not been my thing. I've still to read Tower of Dawn, which many people praised, but I find the criticism o the characters and these books SO FUNNY, even though I love them!
Literally, I'm laughing my ass out watching this! They're all so right oh my gosh!!!
I generally liked the series, but these reviews cracked me up lol, especially the last one 😂
her bookshelves are literally goals
I throughly enjoy ur video!!! But I’m
Sorry not fan of Sarah j mass books I tried to read her books I couldn’t get in to it!! Take care 😄😄
Ella Adam haha, that’s ok! I’m not a huge fan tbh. I’ve read the first three throne of glass books and thought they were ok, but idk if I’ll ever finish the series 😆
The last few comments were hilarious!!!😂. I did actually enjoy the books (I read all of them). There were definitely parts of each book that I thought to myself, “really?” But overall I did like them. But these reviews are hilarious
That last one though 😍 kinda accurate even though I love the series
Danielle Oliver hahaha, it’s so funny 🤣
I just finished Throne of Glass two days ago lol I enjoyed it...They were all funny but the cardboard one was pretty great 😂
Elizabeth D haha, oh my gosh, it was such a creative analogy 🤣
I just came from a video that the reviewer said this is a damn good novel, and all the comments there are focusing on the romance relationship of the characters, I just can’t help to think TOG is another Twilight story, glad I just read half the book and stoped.
I feel lucky I managed to find someone on facebook who was willing to buy these books from me for 30 bucks. My bookshelf felt constipated
I love these videos!! I liked ToG and the rest of the series but can totally see where people are coming from, their rants are so funny though! My favourite is the last one with all the "kapow"s! 😂😂
I can’t cover Stormlight Archive with Throne of Glass.
RESPECT TO YOU
I read the first book. It was all to predictable what happened in the book. Seriously, even a kid could write a book like that.
This series is one of my guilty pleasures. So much of it does not work but I can't pull my eyes away.
I just finished reading this book and the reviews you read were totally on point. I said pretty much the same things in my review, but I didn't hate the book as much as them. It was still an ok fun book to read. There was silly and stupid stuff in it, but fast pacing and yet I had enough time to really get to know the protagonist. I figured, it's YA and I'm an adult, not the target reader. My expectations weren't that high. I gave it some slack and rated it three stars.
😂😂 I also felt that way too in some parts in tog 😂😂😂 Reading the first book was quite difficult, especially since i dislike a main character who is so badass and who has it all. But i managed to finish it and read the other books, and I was glad I did 😍😍 celaena is a person who is more focused on herself, that she fails to realize the whole picture. But as the time goes by, her self realization and development grow better. I love her more now than i love her in tog. Especially in the EoS 😭😭😭 honestly, i think it was the best decision to read the rest of the book and to not give up.. there is more to this series. 😊
IG: @kei_thehuman
"Don't look back. Just go." 😂
Erica Borland haha, some of these 🤣
The reviews are legit better than the book.
Erica Borland haha, that’s amazing 😆
bahahaha these were funny to listen to! I love TOG but it's always fun to see people hatin' lol
bytheBrooke haha, and hatin on it people do!!! My goodness 😆
I went to my library last night to check out Throne of Glass but book one was all checked out, I am going to read this series. I love hearing these reviews Elliot.
Celaena fears Arya Stark.
Arya would beat the fuck out of Celaena. No question.
The sad part about loving th ENTIRE series is knowing the first 2 books ARE IN FACT about simple teen crushes with some knives mixed into it and therefore UNDERSTANDING why people stopped at 2 books if not earlier (I personally still love those 2 books though, sure they aren't the EPIC FABTASY TYPE like the rest of the series....but because the rest of the series is so intense I often miss the simplicity of the first 2 books if only because our main characters didn't feel the constant pressure of war as much back then)
Why are books that are so terribly written getting published? Oh, right... PROFIT 🙄
Because people read them apparently..... which might be worse
I love this series so much. I lol so much especially at that last one. I think you should do Dorothy Must Die. People either love or hate that book. I love it but I'd love to see the funny reviews you find for it.
Cass Cutting oh, I’ve not even heard of that book! I feel like such a loser 😆
Oh its amazing. It's a Wizard of Oz sequel/retelling kind of lol it's about another girl from Kansas who gets sent to oz but this oz is not the one she grew up knowing. Dorothy returned and took over. Dorothy kills those who don't agree with her. I'm a HUGE Wizard of Oz fan and I LOVE these books. I have yet to read the forth and final book because I don't want it to end lol
Cass Cutting oh my gosh, that sounds so interesting!!!
I literally just read a one star review of this book on Goodreads. I couldn’t stop laughing. Look for someone called Kitten with a lot of swearing and sarcasm.
ohhh, I was feeling bored, this lifted up my mood x)
the last one tho lmao that's too accurate tho xD
filipab0oks hahahaha, I’m glad!!! And it was probably my favorite one 😆
"I can't cover Stormlight Archive with a Throne of Glass"
oooooooooof
oh my, that last one was hilarious. I'm looking forward to more of these.
TutsiSlayer69 hahaha, it’s pretty accurate too 😂😂😂 And I can’t wait to do more!!!
I love these videos!!! And I need to do one for my fave books (will credit and link back to you). Doesn’t it make you wonder if you read the same book as them at times?
AllThingsEquilateral hahaha, it does! I mean, even if I don’t love a book, I usually don’t hate it as much as some do these people do 😆 And let me know if you do end up doing something like this! I’d love to see it! And thanks for saying you’d credit me. That’s very kind 💕
For the person who wrote the comment about "lowering the standards for female assassins" MUST have missed the part where Celaena used to be a SLAVE for 1 YEAR and had lost a lot of weight, had NO training and overall was malnourished and weak... but yeah
I’m almost done with the way of kings the first part one book!! Really enjoying I really like kaladin character at the moment.. 😄😄 happy reading to u thanks for the message always
Ella Adam yay!!! I LOVE Kaladin!!!!!! And I love Kaladin with Syl. They’re the best 💗
I love this video, I am one of the could not finish the series, I read book one and part of book 2 that was enough for me, I found celena extremely annoying, just my opinion x
suzanne cattanes she’s definitely super annoying. I’ve read through the end of book three, which ended up being my favorite of the three because she gets beat up ALL THE TIME in that one 😆
The first book is honestly...meh but bear with the series till the 3rd book. The real story starts from the third book. The starting 2 books are average coz sarah got a contract for just 3 books and tried to keep the plot simple. But around halfway through writing the third one her contract was increased to six books.
Amen.
LOL that last one was pretty accurate though... 😬😬😬
Lindsay Puckett hahaha, I know!!! So funny 😂
Hahaha, this is great.
The Name of the Wind, please!
Xacur gosh, I would LOVE to do one for Name of the Wind 😆
SJM is a good writer and knows how to sometimes write good paragraphs but she takes romance what should be a sup plot into the main plot so actually the blur at the back of the book should be.
Clumsy assassin who flirts with every male character in the book series.
Also she likes book's and chocolate isn't she just relatabel :D ?
haha. I already had no plans on reading this series, but this just sealed the deal. Hilarious!
BooksAndJams haha, they’re definitely not for everyone 🤣 if I pick them back up, I think I’ll just expect to like them in a guilty pleasure kinda way 😆
I'm reading the Witcher saga and can't help staring at your collection lol 😂
I just realized i contradicted myself, a few weeks ago I said I would not read this series, I should stick to that or at least try book one. A little help here should i read it or not?
Such a brilliant idea :) The Mortal Instruments and A Song of Ice and Fire would be funny!
Rachel'sReadingCorner oh man, absolutely!!! I’m adding those to my list 😄
These reviews are hilarious 😂!! I love throne of glass!! It took me forever to read the first book, but now it is one of my favorites lol!!
Chasity Parrish I find it entertaining, but I also find a lot of these reviews to be fairly accurate 🤣
I've read the first five novels. And the funny thing about the description of characters is that I imagined Rowan to look like an orc from the Warcraft movie hihi.
I was looking into this book but think I'll go with Nevernight instead.
I still need to read that 😩
this was hilarious 😂😂😂 please do more videos like this!
ivymuse will do!!! 💕
I agree if you read it first. Read assassins blade first and then start the series. Game changer
YOURE SO GREAT FOR DOING THE OMF WOWW. I just read this book and I'm legit going to laugh my ass off at this video I can already tell. I guess I'm the only one who pronounces Chaol cHaol. SMH Celaena is so hated I have no idea why skvkd
Okay, despite the fact that I really didn't like the first two books in the series, I actually love the ToG series 😂😂😂but I still found this hilarious.
I find the plot and world building and writing in the later books in the series to be very great and well developed. My problem lies in some of the characters, how a lot of the male characters just seem to have to be same "walls of muscle" with different hair and eye colours and some of them lack depth and development. I disliked the heterocentric romance we got throughout most of the series and the lack of diversity though I guess that was kind of fixed in the most previous book where we got an almost entirely poc cast. And I also did not like how so many characters were being paired off in thrown into relationships even if it just felt forced.
In the first book which you're reviewing I found the characters to be very one dimensional, they lacked development and depth and sensible motives, I found the plot to be very thin, we're supposed to be in a death competition fighting for Celaena's freedom but we barely feel the tension or urgency of this situation as the author shoves aside the competition and glosses over most of it to make room for more flirting, winking and candy which I don't necessarily mind but there's more pressing issues to deal with which I'd rather read about. It had an intriguing premise which had the potential to be an overall amazing and exciting book but that potential was squandered in the first book. The first book was "A shallow, deceitful collection of words and sentences that fails to deliver" 😂😂
I thought that as the series progressed the characters got more development, and the plot got thicker and more interesting, stakes got higher and I could feel the threat, the looming danger and threat of war which I really enjoyed reading about. The series as a whole is one of my faves, I really enjoy reading it and I really love most of the characters and I'm intrigued by the plot but I've still got some problems with it, I'm a fan of the series, but I'm not biased, I'll treat it and critique it as I do any other series 😂
Finally someone who thinks alike me! I find the plot great, but what really is messed up about this series is that most characters lack personality, they're just stereotypes with no depth at all
Lmao this is such a great video😂😂 do you care if I do one of these for a different series? Obvs I'll give you full credit for your idea 😋😜
Lmao I love people😂 the last one is hilarious 😂
BreeInBookland go ahead!!! Let me know when you do-I’d love to see it!!! Also, that was very sweet of you to ask 💕
Well, I knew something was off when asked how many guards she killed on her first attempt to escape, she said 20 fuckin 4!! With a pickaxe, mind you, but I kept reading. Finally, I put it down after she defeated the 4th guy she fought with the complicated technique of "sweep the feet ".
I haven't read ToG, but have a question for you: Which character do you prefer, Celeana (sorry if I misspelled) or Feyre?
@eleni_sdro
eleni s. uhhhh....I don’t care for C (I forget how to spell it too :P) and I didn’t mind Feyre in the first ACOTAR. She drove me nuts in ACOMAF, though, so that’s tough 😆
So many people hated on Celaena's personality, how she's basically like a cat how she'll be focused one moment and then easily distracted the next, but that's just part of her charm. And you learn why she's so fond of books as you go deeper into the story. You learn more about her as you go on. And, yes, she did focus on outfits a lot . . . because she's a girl! Heck, those who've read the whole series know more than that! Also, understand, she had been INPRISONED for quite a while. She didn't have those luxuries while she was down there. She was beaten and abused and forced to work. They tired her out and, honestly, she's appreciating the small things. Honestly, that's what I'll do when the pandemic's over. Have a better appreciation for things I love like libraries, book stores, cafes and bakeries, all the places Celaena would probably go to.
I have to give Throne of Glass credit. I discovered booktube because I was confused what happened in the last battle. So I started looking for video reviews and voila booktube. It wasn't as bad as these reviews made it seem but didn't instill in me a burning fire to continue reading.
Myn Kobayashi haha, it’s definitely not as bad as these people make it out to be. I personally don’t think it’s bad at all-it’s just not my favorite thing ever. It’s a typical YA book to me :)
Yeah exactly.
Tbh all the side characters are all structured/defined by their love interests. It’s all flimsy romance and teen shit.
The main character is a total Mary Sue that is only badass by name. I’m usually the type that would NEVER drop a series despite not liking it but when I read TOG, I just can’t handle it and have drop it on the fifth book. I wasted so much time in hoping the story would progress to be better. The first 3 books feels like a prologue even the 4th one tbh.
Too funny! I won't read this series exactly for the last review reasons.
The reviews make me want to read this book! Want to see if I end up hating it or not.
Abibliophobe27 hahaha, while most of the reviews are quite accurate, I’d just advise going into the book with a “I’m not going to take this too seriously” mindset. You’ll probably enjoy it more that way 😆
Elliot, sorry you are hearing from me a lot, but I would like to hear about one star reviews of Fablehaven by Brandon Mull, that is one of my all time favs also would like to hear what you personally thought about it
For a better book about assassins, may I recommend Nevernight? They actually assassinate people in that one.
I love the last one😂
5:53 I need that for my book...
Please do one on ACOTAR too.That one is insanely popular.I read only rhe first two and decided anything written by Sarah J Maas should be kept a mile away from me.😩 I hated her writing style and characters with an all consuming passion. 😱
IG: @zish_wordsforchange
I love this idea, so fun! There’s an absolutely hilarious review of the Book Thief on Goodreads, although the reviewer actually gave it 3 stars, it reads like a 1-Star review. You might not want to read it on your channel because it’s pretty vulgar, but it’s hilarious!
Tales of Adventure haha, that reminds me, someone suggested I do this for 50 Shades, and I’m so afraid I won’t be able to read any of the negative reviews 🤣
I don't know if I want to start ToG but I liked ACOTAR so maybe I will pick it up:D This series is soo funny:D The last one was my favorite:D:D
EvaMuellerreads the last one was my favorite too!!! 😆😆😆
I laughed so hard from start to finish of this video xD
im staring at the books behind you...are you my aunty?
Omg Sooo true!! EVERY REVIEW!😂 I hate this series so much that even looking at the cover gives me chest pains. Where are negative star ratings when you need ‘em! I HATE IT WITH A LIVID PASSION!
Bridge Four hahaha, I’m sorry for your chest that I had the book displayed for most of the video!!! 🤣
I mean the person who says hr throwing up over cramps is simply she hasn't hade her cycle in a WHILE, that shit gotta hurt including how for me my cramps are horrible. Maybe Assassin's Blade wasn't out but if they read that first they wouldn't be complaining
Yeah the cover is so beautiful. Makes me so sad.
That last review 😂😂😂
GracelingAccountant hands down my favorite. “Kapow” 🤣
Thank you for not covering Stormlight Archive.
As someone who loves to do a lot of kick ass things and is a boy mom who's always playing rough, I also 98% of the time have a full face of makeup on and can appreciate a good dress. I feel like I could be a shockingly girly assassin and still be quite deadly hahahah just saying.
MessohJessoh I agree :) I actually didn’t mind that she was girly at all. Other stuff, like the candy thing...that one was pretty hilarious 😆
You enjoyed making this video? You look happy.

Trinidad Lara haha, I did! :D
Love this book
I kept being annoyed by how she'd just let bros hang out in her bedchamber like whatever.
Hi finally finished the first part of the way of kings!! 😄😄
Ella Adam yay!!! ❤️❤️❤️ I think you mentioned that on Instagram too. That’s so exciting!
I recently download Goodreads competition Byzans and was SHOCKED at how HORRIBLE it was. It works by you joining groups for books you have read or are reading so you can discuss the books. Throne of Glass series books all had several hundred members while ALL of the classic books (1984 Anna Karenina Madam Bovary Great Gatsby to kill a mockingbird ect) had five members each at MOST. I was SHOCKED! Yet it suddenly made sense to me why so many people are fans of the Throne of Glass series. They have never read any classics so therefore have no idea what a good book is or what good writing is. They have nothing to compare this horrible series to so they just assumed it must be the best. Please I advise everyone to read at least one classic book on your own. That way you will be able to recognize good books instead of fawning over literal trash.
The one about her vomiting after running is not true because of her visit in the mines. Anyone (even a male character) would have done that.
damn it, i bought almost the whole set because the covers were nice and two years had passed since i bought it and haven't read all of them
Give it a go at least. TOG is one of those series where half of the readers hate it while the other half adores it. I'd suggest just don't expect perfection for like 2 books. If anything, those are where Celaena is trying to "be who she wants to be AKA irresponsible" and after that is where she finally changes in one important sense. If anything, expect a fairy tale type of story filled with crushes, ballrooms and a bit of adventure. Because really, the action and high-ish fantasy don't begin till book 3. Also, another suggestion, don't get invested in the romances too much until book 3 either because then it'll just be annoying for you.
Course....you could just sell the books of you want. Otherwise that was such a waste of money 😅
Don’t read it, it’s a waste of time. A year ago I bought the entire series so I felt obligated to read it. I was hoping for it to get better after finishing the first 3 but then I felt TOG is giving me depression for how bad it is. I burned the series on the fifth book. Didn’t finish it.
Try Chinese novels but if you can’t read Chinese, try the translated version. It’s REALLY good. Start with the basic; english name is “THE GRANDMASTER OF DEMONIC CULTIVATION.”
@@ubermenschzarathustra862 yeah...half the readers feel that way. I get why. At the same time the other half absolutely love it. Its why i have suxh a hard time suggesting it to my friends, its just one of those series thats unpredictable for different people. For 2 of my reader friends, one loves it while the other hates it.
Hi do u wen Brandon Sanderson the way of kings the forth book coming out??
Ella Adam probably not for a couple of years 😩
Lol, Oathbringer (the third) came out like a few months ago, a fourth book coming any time soon would be amazing, but unreal. Thankfully Mr. Sanderson has a LOT of books to pick from.
I would like to see Twilight/Life and Death (mostly the Life and Death) and my favorite one was the last one you read
Amber French that one was my favorite too :) I’ll definitely do Twilight :) and I’ve not heard of Life and Death :O I feel so lame!
