    Saving six is the next one in the boys of Tommen series, and it’s Joey’s story, saving six is from his first year of school to the incident I think, and redeeming six is a new timeline after everything. When I read it I didn’t feel like it was repetitive, but then again you have to go through the pain twice. I didn’t mind because I love these books with my whole heart (mostly because they RIPPED it out of me) I hope you like them when you read them!
    Pd: I feel like it’s important to point out that they describe with detail drug abuse and addiction, just so you know 😅

    Saving 6 starts a few years before binding 13 and then it slowly overlaps the timeline of binding/keeping 13. But it was definitely not repetitive

  • @jessmawson4582
    @jessmawson4582 Рік тому +4

    Love the video Rachel! You read saving 6 then redeeming 6. Saving 6 goes back to when joey was 12 up until the end of binding 13 if i remember correctly and redeeming 6 goes over keeping 13 and a little after. I didnt find it repetitive as only a few of the scenes appear in the 13 books and the 6 six books and reeading them in the other POV is sooo different.

  • @joellestewart1190
    @joellestewart1190 Рік тому +3

    So in Saving 6, it goes back to when Joey was 12 and met Aiofe, but also the day Daniel left. It then stretches on throughout the next six years of his life till he is 18, where it ends around the time Binding 13 starts, when Shannon switches to going to Tommen. Redeeming 6 is then everything that happened during Binding, and keeping 13, but on Joeys POV. I wouldnt say that it is repetitive per-se. Because there was a lot of times Joey was gone during B&K 13. But even on the scenes that are repetitive, you dont mind because Joeys POV of things is so interesting vs Shannons. And then I believe Redeeming 6 goes on just slightly after Keeping 13 ended, but that was mostly the epilogues.

    saving 6 is def different than b13+k13 but redeeming 6 basically overlaps both b13+k13. but it was only a handful of scenes that were overlapped if i’m remembering correctly. the times when joey would constantly leave the house and we didn’t know where he was, we get all of that in redeeming 6. like it still had way different scenes than what we saw in the first two books especially since we had aoife pov! it ends off differently as well & it’s worth reading tbh!

      @@BananaAnnie2858 Yes for sure. I'm new in Fantasy as well, it's not my preferred genre (i've only read the caraval series). I don't like high stakes fantasy with difficult worlds. Powerless has a hunger games / divergent vibe and there aren't many politics or world that is hard to understand. Basically the summary on the back sums up the world. Myself, I found it really easy to get in to, it is more characterdriven and romance plotline while the trials are happening than difficult world building. As i've said I read only the caraval series before in the fantasy genre, and it was super easy to get in to and follow. You should try it, it's so good!
