Thank you!!!
i love how the only scene transition cassandra clare can think of is to have a character pass out and then wake up in a different location.
I mean if Dante can do it in his Divina Commedia who are we to judge her 😂😂

@@camillatortorelli7986 not comparing the divine comedy to cassy clare LOL
@@halodeer Well, IIRC, it was a self-insert fantasy in which he met his greatest hero, who showed him all the people he had beef with suffering eternally...
Which isn't to say Dante is crap. Fanfic can be phenomenally well written.
That Jace fancam working overtime with different music to incapsulate the insane storyline is honestly giving me life!
Literally my fave parts of this video lmaoooo
[Jace does something insane]
🎶TEE-NAGE DREAM🎶
Loved it too! So funny!
i absolutely love it every single time it comes on!!
Period😂❤ super funny
I'll never understand why after basically getting rid of the incest plot line Cassandra Clare just felt the need to reintroduce it with her ACTUAL brother
:'''''')
"why not?" 😂
because she clearly has an incest fetiche
because she loves incest obviously. 🙃
For contrast-to illustrate the difference between the actual incest versus the thought-it-was--but-it-actually-wasn't. 🤷🤷♀️ 🤷🏻♂️
I realize that the Shadowhunters have this weird thing against using mundane technology but a simple DNA test would have solved about 90% of Jace and Clary’s problems. And made the series about three books shorter.
They have angel blood, so DNA results would be interesting.
@@mwont “Sir, why is your blood glowing?”
“…Aurora borealis.”
“In your blood?!”
“Yes.”
“……can I see?”
“…nnnnno.”
I KNOW, RIGHT?!!!!
The ships in these series are great if you ignore
1. the age gap
2. The incest (turned out not to be incest)
3. The harassment (turned out to be incest)
4. And the fact that Jace was very clearly meant to be with Simon.
Otherwise amazing.
okay I wasn't expecting point 4 but you're like, absolutely right (as a Alec and Magnus shipper i am very used to ignoring the age, even though it is in fact, terrible)
@@Rat-ey It's a fantasy and fiction, it's okay to imagine things working out sometimes in fiction that maybe wouldn't work out or be possible in reality, and it's also involving a supernatural/fantasy creature that doesn't exist...he could be with a literal 100-yr-old grandparent and there would STILL be an insane age-gap present, technically! 😅😅🙃🫣😶🤭🤷🤷♀️🤷🏻♂️ Lol
(Never mind the _looks_ that society would give that grandparent for being with this person they can't tell is an immortal 100+ yr-old warlock who only physically appears, like, 21 but sometimes slightly younger or older...depending on the day/moment.👀 😅 🤣🤣)
I remember being so flabbergasted about all that happened 😂
Jimon is such a good ship, like, they're so toxic to each other, but so passionate. I remember in the tv show there was a point where they were not exactly fighting and I was so sure they would kiss.
OMG when I read Simon and Jace chapters I was always like “he literally only respects Simon. Why can’t they just be together instead”. Lowkey least toxic pairing in this
You’re so right; Simon and Jace should have ended up together.
fr like what was that scene on the ship so hot for 🤨 lmao besides subverting tropes in the second book would’ve been so fun
Nice, ship all the boys except for the actual gay one 😂
My gay ass was EATING IT UP back in the day 😭😭
@@greenberry6019oh we ship them too👀
@@greenberry6019malec is a thing 😂
"Imogen as we will learn has a flair for the dramatic. Perhaps it runs in the family, I don't know" CARI 😭
To be fair every Herondale is insanely dramatic.
I came looking for this comment I'm SCREAMING
@@attystark9463that was my point lol
@@attystark9463 is that family a not so subtle jojo reference?
1:39:42 I'm only halfway in the video. And I think I knew where the Imogen-Jace storyline will end up from the dialogue. But this comment make me gasp. Cari already make a reference /hint 😭
2:13:57 “sebastian kisses teary-eyed Clary in front of the ruins of her house where her family was ripped apart and her brother was potentially killed” knowing who Sebastian really is,,, this scene was insane
Right? 🫣
This is so f#cked 🙉
He was bold 🫡
@@PinkBubbleMartini clearly 😭😭
This sentence itself was truly a ride as well...
the jace fearless edits and the line "I've never been to England" made me full on burst out laughing. pure perfection.
The "speak now" bit too lmao
Me, when Hodge dies: "Can't any of these goddamned people finish a sentence when telling Jace about his real identity" like for real
Can we all appreciate the fact that I've read this saga like 3 or 4 times already and the moment Cari puts a video out I'm like "Well time to watch a 3 hour video about a story I already know😂😂"
lmao its an honor :')
Same ✨🙋🏻♀️
✨ Same ✨
💯 and I still listen to the audibooks😅
This is me!
The fact that Clary has 3 love interests and they are:
1) the best friend she grew up with, whom she sees as a brother
2) her adopted brother, with whom she actually ends up with
3) her actual brother
Like that's a bit sus 😂
3 is a pattern and I'm glad someone else sees it💀
@@kodathepoet.if you recall in the first video, Cari said CC has a past fanfiction history? If I recall my history correctly, she wrote Harry Potter incest
@@gracel2martYUP! she wrote a Ron/Ginny fic which was titled……..Mortal Instruments. not kidding
And then like, when you get into the lady midnight, lord of shadows stuff, the main love interests are parabatai, which is kinda also incest in a way because parabatai with romantic love is wrong and shit
It's Love square.
I hope you do do books 4-6, because there are so many truly insane plotlines. I know theses videos are so much work but would love to hear your reactions
how did she think it was a good idea to keep going hahhaa
@@caricanreadcash grab 😅
Technically she’s still going with them. Weren’t we left on a major cliffhanger with Clary?
didn’t they literally have sex in hell at some point?? 😭😭
Yesssssss
“I was never your friend, I loved you the whole time.”
Ohhhh wow, that’s just… I’m assuming she was going for ‘romantic’ with that, but that’s just deeply, deeply sad. Imagine spending years thinking someone is your best friend, pretty much your only friend, like your whole life this one person is your constant rock. And then one day they turn around and go “nah actually, we were never friends, anyway, wanna make out?”
I’d probably never trust anyone again after something like that tbh, that’s not something you just come back from.
Yeah.. Unfortunately, looking back, Simon is suffering from nice guy syndrome
I like him, but Christ.
That line sounds so. Creepy. As well
Like, that first part, why would you say that... Why couldn't you her best friend and also in love with her, but like, in a way that you like her so much that you wanted to be around her, in no matter what capacity? Still unhealthy but so many people are in love with their best friends first. That just sounds heartless tbh
@@krussyarts he’s lucky he’s a genuinely fun character around the Clary Love stuff, because if he wasn’t busting out shit like “I have to buy you all Hanukkah presents anyway, it’s Jewish law. The god of the Jews is an angry god, and surprisingly gift-oriented” I’d have that boy burned at the stake.
Still not ideal, but at least he gets over it relatively quickly. Glad ol’ Cassie knew not to let that thing linger
@@xLiLlyx98 I think that’s what’s getting me about it, yeah. “We were never just friends”, clearly you were from Clary’s perspective.
Yeah, friends to best friends to lovers is a sweet progression, if it works out. But I’ve seen too many guys giving it the “oh my god, I acted like her friend for years and now she’s just slutting about with some guy, as if she’s not *mine*?” to find that behaviour cute or romantic, fictional or otherwise.
I kinda had this moment with a lot of my guy friends and it actually does burn.
I used to have a lot of guy friends and would be friends with them for years and share secrets with them, then at one point or another a lot of them ended up confessing they were interested in me and after declining their feelings a few times they all kinda stopped talking to me.
Now that I’m in a relationship of 5 years, none of my old guy friends talk to me at all. I recently had one guy check in and tell me I could always reach out to him, and then asked about my relationship. When I said my boyfriend and I were going great and went on to ask him about his life, I never got a reply.
If I was in Clary’s position and had no girl friends to rely on I would have crumbled.
this video really opened my eyes to the untapped potential between jace and simon that went unnoticed in my youth and i thank you for that
im a big jamon shipper rn bc of this vid (never read the books, just knew of them and a little bit about them)
Dude! Sameee!!! For some reason I never noticed before😂
Am I the only one who thinks that Cari looks exactly like how I pictured Clary while reading these books...?
honestly uncanny
What do you mean she's not cosplaying (heavy sarcasm)😂
My thoughts exactly. I love her copper colored hair!
yess especially considering the fact that i started reading the books cuz of these videos. the actual actor for clary looks so much less like clary than cari does
I pictured Clary as having that more orange-ish-red hair (that I associate with the phrase "ginger," though that might just be me"), curly hair, and freckles. also a slightly wider/more oval face
Please continue. The books just get more unhinged as they go on. It is beautiful.
Here you go :) ua-cam.com/video/tq5mjahpl6Y/v-deo.html
that blood they gave simon better have been from a kosher butcher shop. nothing but respect for my jewish vampire king
Blood is never kosher tho, it’s part of the horror and contradictions of being a jewish vampire, I don’t remember if that’s explicit in the books but I’m sure it was intentional since cassandra clare is jewish herself
@@camilafeitosa7743 that's really interesting! my family and i are not super strict about keeping kosher so i never knew that. also didn't know cassie clare is jewish!! still, for a jewish vampire, blood from kosher slaughter has to be a bit better than blood from non-kosher slaughter? or at that point would one just give up altogether?
I think they’d do that at least for a while but sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do probably
@@madie8769 Maybe, lol. Blood is "forbidden" to be consumed ordinarily tho, so I think we're gonna blow up trying to figure it out.
@@camilafeitosa7743that is fascinating because blood and blood products are also forbidden for muslims to eat (in fact i live somewhere where often it’s easier for me to eat kosher than zabiha, the muslim equivalent, since kosher law covers more than zabiha covers) but we also have laws that state if it’s a life or death scenario, you must prioritize living over following zabiha eating. ie if you’re starving and the only option is, say, pork, you should eat the pork and live. ergo i always imagine if you were a muslim vampire and you would die if you didn’t drink blood, blood then becomes permissible for you to sustain yourself. are there similar permissibility “clauses” in jewish/kosher law?
WHY DIDN'T CLARY DRAW A PATERNITY TEST RUNE?!!!! Jk but actually they coulda solved this with modern medicine for like $130 USD
But they arent human 😂😭 i dont think they could just walk into a normal hospital lol
"The old incest distraction method" has me dying
You are doing god’s work with these plot explanations
we're trying :')
Surely it is Satan's work, though no less impressive for it lol
absolute poetry what@@CP-ll6qg
PLEASE PLEASE do the next 3. Her books are so unhinged towards the end and your commentary is so perfect for the chaos. However, I feel like you can’t do the last 3 of TMI without doing infernal devices…it provides so much context for the 6th one lol
I forgot the the second three grouping even existed omg Cari doing a forgot the plot would be perf
Infernal devices should be done first before second trilogy of TMI.
your wish is my command! ua-cam.com/video/tq5mjahpl6Y/v-deo.html
As someone who has read far, FAR too much marvel fanfiction, Jayce just absolutely smacks of discount dollar store Loki. And I mean that with every possible compliment and insult both
I can honestly picture Jace having that massive grin that Loki always has and it’s sending me😂😂
If you’re talking about comic Loki then probably. MCU Loki didn’t come out until way after the first three books came out.
@@cindynguyen5661 i dont think they're saying cassandra copied marvel lol its just that they are similar characters
Considering he was (probably) based off the fanon version of Draco Malfoy, I guess it's just that bad boy archetype fandom loves in their dudes, lol
@maevem316 probably, lol. I really didn't mean to imply ms. claire had stolen the idea (the implied insults/compliments were towards the character), just that I was familiar with the character type and couldn't help thinking of Loki bc I'm a nerd
2:16:52 “This is not her house. Those are not her plates.” you had me CACKLING the whole way through, thank you
poor Jace constantly being kept in suspense as everyone dies without fully telling him who he actually is LMAO
anyway I loved this so much!!
your simon/jace commentaries are SO right and true even tho i’ve not read this series
we were robbed of the best ship
I love that Cassandra Claire comes from the Bambi school of storytelling. Big dramatic, chase and the death of your mom-hard cut to 🎶lalalala don't worry🎶 singing birds and pretty flowers
this is the best description of cassie clare’s writing 😆😆
I am so impressed how many cities of *insert word* the author came up with. Like imagine having to came up with different cool sounding cities for book titles and then also having to make that make sense in the plot
And then there's a prequel to "The Mortal Instruments" called "The Infernal Devices" and spin-offs called something like (iidrc) "The Unhallowed Relics" 'The Bad Thingumm-a-jigs" "The Deconsecrated Artifacts" etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc.
@@Mecharnie_Dobbs This gave me the biggest laugh.
@@Mecharnie_Dobbsi like to imagine that cassie clare has a wheel she spins when she needs a new title and then she just bases the plot around whatever it lands on
I have no idea if they're canon straight, but Simon and Isabelle are so chaos bisexual coded 😆 Simultaneously accepting no bs and bringing tomfoolery to the story, love that
As someone who read the first 3 books and couldn't stand to go on but still needs to know what happens in the rest of the series....please do the rest of the series this way, I love listening to it broken down like this!
Here you go :) ua-cam.com/video/tq5mjahpl6Y/v-deo.html
Sentences Cari has said: "He has stapled an angel to the ground."
PLEASEEEEEEEEEEE CONTINUE THE SERIES. the last 3 books are so unhinged theyre so fun. your reactions are so funny i love them and i wanna see u recap the plot!!
Here you go :) ua-cam.com/video/tq5mjahpl6Y/v-deo.html
I love how you pair Jace and Simon like the couple that never was through this video, anytime a love triangle becomes messy I also go, actually have we considered making the two love interests a couple
tehee 🤭 big supporter of just making it poly or making the love interests date each other instead of the mc
you would love the thieves series by Lexi Blake hahahahah
Yep! Ignore the axis!
the infernal devices ahaha
I’m cackling at the mental picture I have of Jace just being like “Gotta blast!” and yeeting himself out a window when the Lightwoods started asking how he jumped like that
I would love to see you complete the second half of the TMI series. Maybe even do the entire Shadowhunters universe so far (even though I know that will take you a WHILE!). Especially since Cassie overlaps plot points and characters A LOT with her series
Yes!! I def would love to see one for TID because will herondale has my whole heart
the way i would KILL to have a few shifts that i can kill just listening to cari talk about this
Here you go :) ua-cam.com/video/tq5mjahpl6Y/v-deo.html
I love how invested I am in this video series as if I haven’t been in this fandom for over a decade
I feel this!!
I freakin LOVE how you refer to Jace as Simon's boyfriend😂
Clary:"His is my boyfriend Jace and my boyfriend's boyfriend Simon"
i don't think you understand how incredible these videos are and how fun you make them. I could watch a 10 hour video of you explaining the plotline of literally any book ever and i would live for it. Please never stop making these types of videos
1) I don't care what book you pick, just please keep making these multiple hour videos. It's the only thing that keeps me alive at work! I love these so much
2) everyone in this book needs a Dr cause it's not normal to black out this often 😂
1:30:43 Valentine is obviously annoyed that Simon is alive, or that any vampire is, but then he realizes HOW Simon is alive, and he's unreasonably upset "Johnathan! You don't realize what you've done!"
Erm, yeah, he's not the only one who doesn't.
im glad u posted it because then i don’t actually have to read it which btw makes me so happy. i cannot read this whole big series, my mental capacity cannot handle them ❤
❤❤❤
I forgot how funny Magnus was. I remembered this series was high drama all the time and a bit unhinged but the meme choices and music make it so much better.
i’m so sad you didn’t include jace’s line in the werewolf bar about wanting to be an angsty teen, it’s literally one of my favorite lines from the entire series
I love these videos, because I haven’t read the books, but the Netflix Series is a guilty pleasure of mine, so I’m just sitting here like “Oh, I know what happens next!” Immediately followed by “WTF THEY DID THAT COMPLETELY DIFFERENTLY”
I loooove the show on Netflix but it's so incredibly inaccurate to the books they kind of feel like alternative universes 😂😂 both are still so fun and chaotic tho 10/10 would recommend
the Netflix drama essentially took the characters some vague concepts from the book and ran with it and did their own thing still very entertaining
three and a half hours?? oh my god i can't wait to devour this video
i appreciate the hard work you put in your videos so much, cari ❤ thank you for making this
thank YOU!
If you are willing to put in the work, I will totally watch you summarize the later books! This series is so nostalgic for me and I love these videos so much 😊
EDIT: Also my own out theory (aside from the fact that Cassie just hadn’t fully fleshed out parabatai) is that Alec’s unrequited crush on Jace hampered their bond because they weren’t on the same page. Parabatai are supposed to be in lock step, so when one of them is keeping this big secret from the other one, and their feelings for each other are mismatched, I could see that interfering with the soul binding a bit.
I totally agree!
AGREED!
"I've never been to England" KILLED ME. fucking shot me dead the delivery on that was perfect
you don’t realize how often these characters black out until these summaries honestly
Cari: Imogen, as we will see, has a flare for the dramatic
Me: well, she is a Herondale
Cari: perhaps it runs in the family
My favorite thing about these videos is Cari being an accidental cosplay of Clary 😂 i read these books as a teen and these recaps are hogwild thank you for blessing us all with this delightful content 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
I looove these videos! You really have to do the next three, because years later I'm still not over JACE TAKING A CONDOM TO THE DEMON REALM, GIRL
Here you go :) ua-cam.com/video/tq5mjahpl6Y/v-deo.html
@@caricanread!!!!!!!
the jace edits tho ✨❤️
he’s killing with that sublimely androgynous look that dreams and aspirations are made of 👑 (and also his illegal amount of attitude lol)
A recap of the Infernal Devices would also be incredible!! Especially to give Brother Zachariah's backstory before City of Fallen Angels...iykyk 😭❤
Oh, please do continue. I think it's fascinating how Cari always manage to capture the essence of each character, especially Simon. This video alone ended my seasonal depression, i'm not even kidding. Now we just sit and wait for the other parts.
Here you go :) ua-cam.com/video/tq5mjahpl6Y/v-deo.html
I'm so happy you briefly inserted the Taylor Swift song during the Fearless rune scenes Cari. Incredible editing as always!
Please continue, the rest of the series is so unhinged! Also, the rune(s) Clary changed in Valentine's summoning was the one binding/preventing the summoner from being smited. Love that for her.
It feels like the characters spent more time unconscious than actually doing things in these books, holy heck.
did i just finish a grueling 8 hour shift? yes. did i already watch part 1 to this video? yes. am i going to watch this 3.5 hr part 2 video? yes. will i be eagerly waiting for part 3? yes.
If you’re able to do the second trilogy, I would be SO EXCITED! I’ve never been able to force myself to read them, but I want to know about them so badly 😭
honestly you're missing out😭😭 it's some wild sh*t going on but like it's so good you can't stop reading them
honestly they're far better than the original saga!!
Here you go :) ua-cam.com/video/tq5mjahpl6Y/v-deo.html
I'm begging you to continue this series. I loved it as a teen and its just so unhinged and choatic in the last three. I'm living through listening to these and reliving all the moments
Here you go :) ua-cam.com/video/tq5mjahpl6Y/v-deo.html
when i tell you the scene in the fae court was pure ART to my 15 year old self. like you can’t convince me that scene was not LITERATURE. “close your eyes and think of england” STOP
😂😂😂
Okay, haven't watched the whole vid yet but just want to reiterate that "forgot the Plot" is my absolute fave thing on booktube, ever ❤️❤️❤️
thank you :''''')
These videos give me LIFE!!! The editing, the scripting, all of it! Maryse as Moira from Schitts Creek is absolutely fantastic.
And the insanity of books 4-6 need to be documented.
*minor spoilers maybe??**
The Sizzy stuff, Malec stuff, Sebastian’s weird ASS SHIT, and the connections to the other series are CRAZY, and they deserve their moment in a video. But only if your sanity can take it 🙏🙏🙏
Here you go :) ua-cam.com/video/tq5mjahpl6Y/v-deo.html
the herondales love confessions and way with words always get me in my feels like how they express about their love for someone is something i adore
ALSO i would love for you to keep doing this like the whole saga if you enjoy it, it's so entertaining watching your commentary, doesn't matter how much it takes you 💗💗
Jace was sad so he tried to commit hate crimes against werewolves…. I swear to god Jace is the worst 😑
All of the Taylor Swift inclusions? Incredible. I absolutely adore your here's the plot videos!!
You are doing such a service for those of us (me) who never finished this series but desperately need to fulfill their curiosity of how much worse Cassandra Clare can do
Having not read these books in close to 10 years the amount of plot/lore I remembered SHOCKED me
Absolutely obsessed with the Jace fancam being a main character in both videos
YES I NEEDED THIS SO BAD thank you so much for gracing us with this video series :,D
thanks for enjoying :'''')
Carrie PLEASE continue the series! It really does get absolutely unhinged.
Here you go :) ua-cam.com/video/tq5mjahpl6Y/v-deo.html
Cari: so the dad leaves him there with the demons roaming....
Me: father of the year
Cari: father of the year
Me: nailed it
WE NEED MORE, WHOLE SERIES. I AM IN LOVE WITH YOUR CHANELL
i posted part 3 last week
I absolutely love your plot recaps! I've read the books 5+ times. I knew that Jace and Clary weren’t siblings since book 1, and waiting for the characters to realize it was pure torture! Knowing how evil Valentine was why did they believe him for even 5 minutes? 😂😂😂 also hearing the story explained outloud made me realize just how wild this series was.
i listen to these "forgot the plot" videos like audiobooks when i'm driving to work, and i JUST finished getting caught up on your acotar and crescent city videos. excited to relive the rest of this buckwild series!!!
i cannot stress enough how much theese books marked my teenage years and ive been wanting to reread them but was lazy cause remembered they kinda suck so thank you so much for this jasjsjajsjsajj i still absolutely love them
I'm sorry if this is a weird thing to say but you are SO GOOD at this 😂😂😂 I am following along absorbed. Your storytelling skills are fantastic. I am more entertained by the way you are narrating the book than by the action in the book itself.
Omg this is incredible!! You should do the Infernal Devices trilogy next! 🙏❤🕰 All the drama with Tessa, Will, and Gem 👌
Thank you for this, Cari! Unlike your Crescent City and ACOTAR videos (which I adore), this is a series I'm actually familiar with, and re-experiencing these books in this format was fantastic. I hope you do decide to finish the series!
My mom overheard the UA-cam video and yelled at me for watching a video about incest and then made jokes about it when my brother came in the room 💀💀 💀😭😭
oh nooo 😭
cari, you HAVE to continue the series, please! I remember reading the books when I was younger but stopping at one point, and finally through your videos I got the motivation to pick them back up! Would be amazing if you covered as many books as possible (including the 'prequels' and so on! I love these videos so much, they make my days when you post
Definitely do the next three. They get so weird…
Here you go :) ua-cam.com/video/tq5mjahpl6Y/v-deo.html
PLEASE keep going, your voice is so calming and I love these videos in the background while I do work, plus the way you joke and summarize these books is rlly funny
Thank you so much for doing these videos!!!! Things I have enjoyed immensely: 1. Simon is also one of my favorite character's- thank you for saying that. Simon is the best. 2. Simon as Jaces boyfriend… hilarious! I support that. 3. And yes, Godfrey Gao ❤️. 4. And the way you’re like - Clary girl what are you doing? This is not your house! And what did they just tell you? They told not to go there! 🤣🤣 please continue the rest of the series.
I’m binge watching your videos like it’s the actual series 😂❤
the fact that you put in Le Sserafim's Fearless cracked me UP! you're absolutely doing the god's work with these plot breakdowns! Thank you Cari
Truly the best Christmas present would be the continuation of this series! Love, love, love your plot summaries, so entertaining and hilarious
Look I know the mortal instruments is like weird and has some questionable things going on (you know what I mean) but I still love it and I’m very invested. Like it’s bad but I love it. Honestly it’s the Cassie Clare effect.
Oh I’m so into it too. Like logically I know they’re not that great, kinda questionable YA but god there’s something about the shadow hunter world that just hits me
A cari can read breakdown is THE ultimate way to consume a book, hands down.
These videos are SO entertaining, please please do the other trilogy!
I cannot believe I have to go back to reading books on my own without your comments and reactions and funny edits.
Thought you should know:
I used the Baltimore National Aquarium wifi to download part 1 and part 2 (while I was looking at the fish😂) and then binged all 5.5 hours of your Mortal Instruments breakdown on the drive back home.
I love this cari series because when I was a teen I only read the first book and I was so bored that I never read the rest but I always wanted to know the tea. So thank you Cari for putting in all this time and effort and saving my braincells from the trauma. Love you. 🫶🏽
BABE! WAKE UP! Cari just dropped a new plot break down 💗🙌🏻
1:30:04 simon and jace romance??😭 i kinda like it lmfaoo💀💀
kinda crazy that Stephen, a Herondale, joined an anti-downworlder cult 😭
PLEASE CONTINUE THIS SERIES!!!!!! videos like this are my favourite to listen to at work 10/10 your voice and audio quality are also rlly good. this series was my life as a teenager.
The taylor swift moments have me ROLLING. This was the one series I never read as an avid YA reader during its peak, and this summary actually made it an enjoyable time 😂
I'm halfway through the vid and the Lion King rising sun cut absolutely took me out 😂😂😂
Thank you for the comedic splendor, as always, Cari! 🌻❤ I'm down with a cold in the middle of summer and this is the exact brand of entertainment my cotton-filled brain and dramatically aching limbs yearn for lol. 🫠
Hope you have a good weekend! 🙏🎐
I love these videos for many reasons including the feeling of hearing you quote a sentence that I forgot about but suddenly remember in really vivid detail, such as Simon saying "I can't believe you know someone named freaky Pete." I had forgotten that line but wow, it sure came back to me very quickly. amazing.
I am loving these videos. And YES it will be amazing to hear the other three books from the series too!
These book explained videos have really helped me understand my wife so much better. My wife lives for the mortal instruments and acotar and you are helping understand all of those worlds so much. Thank you for all your hard work😊
