      good video bro I love this... Some of these books have really cool synopses and its OK if u don't really like most of the books that u typically read. I have ALL of these books on my TBR and I can't wait to read ALL of them. And, like u said, we ALL have different views & opinions on whatever book we read as readers. So its OK if u don't fancy most of these books... Keep up the good work by the way...

      oh jesse,in one of your previous-majestic as a unicorn-videos you said something about this series.the series was i think by tolkien,but anyway it was a fantasy ( which i love,fantasies).the problem is i dk what series it was.all i remember is that it had a turtle on the front cover and you said something about how your not scared or intimidated by the commitment to this series,i really cant remember.

It's weird, it happens completely out of the blue, and it's downright CREEPY.

    I understand what you mean with Empire of Storms, I found myself looking forward to reading about Lysandra and Adion and Elide and Lorcan and damn did I miss Chaol in that book but I think I still enjoyed it a lot as I realised that is what always happens to me when I read Sarah J Maas, I fall in love with the 'side characters' more than the main protagonist and her love interest :)

    Can I just say that I love the world map mural in the background. I'm new (just subscribed after watching one of your stuggles a reader goes through videos) and I was wondering if it was a wallpaper or painted on or just one huge poster. Sorry if you've already answered it but I'm looking for something similar to go in my library near my writing/reading nook. Great video by the way. It's really disapointing when a sequal doesn't live up to it's predecessor. It makes it hard to finish a series when the first and/or second book is lackluster.

    By FAR the one I agree with you the most on is Magnus Chase. I didn't really like the Ship of the Dead either, I was SO HAPPY that Magnus and Alex happened, but I feel like Uncle Rick strung us along for the Blitzstone romance and it never happened. I think the worst book sequel I've ever read was Magic Study by Maria V. Snyder, I gave the first book 5 stars and loved it so much, and then book 2 happened. I honestly have no idea if I'll continue, I think I'll just look at the first book as a standalone. And it's funny that you mention the Death Cure, The Maze Runner is my favorite book of all time and even I didn't like the finale.

    *Spoilers*
    I do agree with you on the points from Scarlet and Magnus Chase as I have read both. I thought they were good books but I was a bit let down when I compared them to the earlier books in the series. The plots were scattered and in Scarlet I wanted it to be less romance. Magnus chase was good but also did not live up to my expectstions that I put upon it as I was super excited about the first. Allegiant let ne down because of the ending and I cried a lot because of the ending. It was a little easy to tell that Tris was going to die as she randomly started switching POV. Death Cure made me really sad and I didnt like the direction that the author decided to go in. Great points!

    When I saw Allegiant, my whole system curled. I threw that book so hard across my room I honestly thought I was going to break the wall XD So, I never really clicked with Tris? She was one of those characters for me that I tried forcing myself to love since she was the main character, but I just didnt live for her. Yes, she was a really good character, and yes she did amazing things, but..I just didnt click entirely with her, thus when she died, it pissed me off beyond belief, not because she died, but because of the effect it had not only on Tobias, but the entire story, and it made me so angry because it literally makes no fReAkIng sEnSe

Maybe Scarlet will be Cinder in hiding!” Like a disguise name while she’s on the run. But then I read the synopsis and I was like, “No! I want more Cinder I care not, for Scarlet!” Since finishing the book I have been getting such this is going to be not as good as the first book vibes. So I’m glad my thoughts were confirmed with this video.

      Probably the worst book I've ever read lmao. Characters were somehow even worse than they were in the first book, bland, forgettable and interchangeable. The whole book felt like a dragged out filler, for some reason everything that happened felt so unimportant in the long run. T h e l o v e t r i a n g l e. Thomas passed out like 20+ times aka cheap cliffhangers to keep us interested. The noseless cranks and lightbulb monsters (who were supposed to be scary I assume) were so humorously bad that it was just cringy. Nothing makes sense in this book, every little plotline is left hanging and is forgotten, no answers are ever given to anything.
      I'm so sorry if anyone likes this book, but it is without a doubt one of the most boring pieces of crap I've ever read. I tried to read the Death Cure, but dropped it like 20 minutes in, it was just so bad.
