I love a lot of JLA's books. The Covenant is one of my all time favourite series because the angst is absolutely sublime. I like The Dark Elements, The Harbinger, and Lux series too, plus some of her contemporary romance, but Fall of Ruin and Wrath... nope. I 100% agree with everything you said about it.
I also love JLAs old series so much lux, origin, dark elements, covenant, Titan ... All were so good but FROM BLOOD AND ASH definitely started good but I lost interest and Fall of Ruin and Wrath was just bland
I understand how you feel Rachel. I don't know how I feel about SJM. I DNF'D Throne of Glass so I am not sure about ACATAR or Crescent City.
I've just began the video, but girl, you should maybe give a try to the Lux serie by JLA! I discovered her with that serie at least 10 years ago and she is now a staple for me, even tho i don't love FBAA as i love Lux. It's more on the YA side, but it was so so good, so fast paced and the FMC is not dumb and naive like Poppy. Plus, you see the worl evolving and the characters too.
I love experiments like this! I recently gave a previous DNF a second chance and it became a new favorite. But have definitely had less successful results too haha
I loved from blood and ash but it was like the first fantasy romance I read when I got back into reading a few years ago- I doubt it would stand up now with the amazing fantasy romance I’ve read since then!
Hi Rachel, this is so much fun! I'm also currently working on giving authors a second chance reading vlog and was sooo surprised by the outcome! Also: I LOVE your ACOTAR editions!! 😍
Her name is Rachel! :) Raven is the color of her hair “raven haired reader”
I absolutely loved from Blood and Ash ❤
🔥 I'm so glad you did this! I've been wondering what your opinion of JLA was...now I know...and I get it. I love the FBAA series especially the beginning but now it's going on to long ..she needs an editor that will help her complete the story in reasonable time. But loved this vlog wish it were better outcomes for you but now you really know.
your hair always looks so good I'm jealous lol 🔥
aww thank you!
here’s to not using too modern vocabulary in fantasy romance! gosh, I was so put out of the story by some of the words used in smut scenes when I was reading something by Danielle L Jensen the other day. 🔥
An honest review is always so refreshing 🥰 Loved this 🔥
I love how positive this video is 💌
idk why but JLA has just never called out to me either... I read blood and ask a couple years ago and it was a 3. I just remember being bored but enjoyed the ending. I dnf'd that series
Love your channel... You have the best recommendations & honest reviews. I was curious about Flame & Sparrow if its a great read. But I'm so glad I watched this video...now I know .
Currently reading Glow of the Everflame, based off of your recommendation! Wow! I love it
Thanks Bestie :)
“a horny glass of milk” 💀
Fall of ruin and wrath was my first JLA book and I did not understand the hype of her books. Might give her another try, might not 😂
I would love to see you do Laura Thalassa! I thought The Bargainer series was pretty meh but loved Bewitched.
Ugghh such a good book 📚
Loved the concept 🔥
didn’t like a fall of ruin and wrath either and I read that other one. It’s safe to say I won’t be adding that to my TBR.
I loved Fall of Ruin and Wrath and the FBAA series. Glad you gave her another try but sorry you still feel the same about JLA's writing. I think the reason I like her more than SJM is because there is more romance with fantasy than fantasy with very little romance. Even though I like SJM's books, I actually prefer JLA's.
Hope you are enjoying your new house and are fully settled in now. Love your content.
❤🔥🔥🧨Thanks for the video! Reading Bride by Ali Hazelwood right now!
🔥
I felt like Fall of Ruin and Wrath was super for the lolz for me. Definitely not a serious read with the ridic stuff going on. 😂
Girl you should wear your hair natural more often! I’m loving the volume
i'm sorry you didn't love your reads! it was super interesting to hear your opinions on these books 🔥
🔥🔥❤
🔥❤️
I’m too petty to give authors a second chance in 2024. 😅
Here for the Sunday sermon 💅🏻🤍
your "hair situation" is absolutely stunning!! idk what you're talking about!
🔥🔥🔥
thank you!
I loved the song of the marked and then the rest of the series was bleh and so repetitive. It's a good day when Rachel uploads❤🔥
my feelings exactly 🤍🤍 thank you!
I’m reading Flame and Sparrow now and am feeling the exact same way! Way too easy for the FMC to get information and have no clue what her motivations are
precisely!!
Ivy the sweet little Angel 👼🏻
🔥 also love your pink shirt!!
Well, at you now you know.
first! love your content
thank you!! 🩷
@@ravenhairedreader you’re welcome!! i love watching your vlogs when i’m in a reading slump and i’m contemplating going back in my SJM era - what order do you recommend i read her series in?
also i recently bought bride by ali hazelwood and i can’t wait to read it!
my book recs for you:
1.the house across the lake by riley sager
2. serpent and dove by shelby mahurin
3. eternal reign by caroline peckham and susanne valenti
they’re so good!!
Whomp whomp 😢 that's a bummer.
❤❤❤
The “_____ of _____ & _____”formula for fantasy books gets so confusing 😂
Fire emojis for the dumpster fires 😅🔥🔥🔥
🔥🔥🔥🔥
i am a bit confused by you saying "I have to read the last 40%" -- like no u dont?
Feel the same way about JLA😅
❤📚📚❤️
I disliked Blood and Ash so much that I cannot convince myself to try more JLA. It’s unfortunate because I read two of her other series, The Dark Elements (would’ve loved this if I read it in high school) and Harbinger (love the male main character), and they were fine. I wish she would hire another editor though. I remember seeing so many spelling mistakes. It would take me out of the story every time, and after a while it just felt lazy and unprofessional.
❤🔥🔥
Good afternoon my dear friend
I also hate modern slang in fantasy books (that aren’t urban fantasy). This is why I could NOT deal with That Time I Got Drunk and Saved a Demon by Kimberly Lemming. I ended up DnFing it- sooo much Gen Y/Gen A slang that I just could not get into the story as I found it so distracting.
I haven’t read any of SM Gaither’s books but I’m with you on JLA, I don’t get the hype with the Blood & Ash series. I found the first one ok although nowhere near as well written as SJM’s books (I see them get compared a lot) but the series went downhill from there and I gave up after the third 🙈
I've read fbaa 1-2, and another JLA book. I like the ideas and concepts but her writing style is really not for me. I find it very frustrating to read her books. I wish I could enjoy them but I've accepted she's not for me
A hot girl walk around the god realm 🤣
Cringe on that term in the JLA book. No, no, no! 🔥
As soon as you said “fuckboy” I knew that I would never give that book a try lol
Girl I told you 😂!!! Fall of Ruin and Wrath is so boring and also the romance is cringe 😬!!!!
Facts 😬
Never read any of her book? But that cover puts me off !
