Gotta say, when Winnie woke up and thought about how it was cold even though she was surrounded by the lost boys I was hoping that the implication was that the lost boys had gone cold because they died in their sleep. Alas 😔 Very slay video, I hope the medications and focus on mental health help, thank you for making a horrendous book fun to listen to parts of XD
I am VIVIDLY reminded of the quote someone shared from an English professor: “if y’all are going to take Hemmingway’s advice and ‘write drunk, edit sober Y’ALL HAVE TO DO THE SECOND PART.” Only she wrote on, idk, shrooms or something.
As an aspiring writer I would love some ideas on where I can get some accurate information and research materials if you know some. I wouldn’t base a magic system on your cultures because they’re not mine and grossly misunderstood but just having native people exist and affect the story would be nice, if you know of some books or websites I can browse. I’m in the Pacific Northwest so if there’s somewhere I can go as well… ❤
1:07:20 Every time she said “lagoon” I kept accidentally hearing it as “legume” and it took me this long into the video to realize I was hearing wrong😭 I was like “damn these boys like their beans”
girlfrieeeend i am the number one whisper hater of the WORLD and when i tell you that natalie's whispering has never once been annoying!! calm down and/or tell your favorite shitty authors to STOP WRITING IN CAPS bc that denotes yelling okay xox
Honestly, I don't even like her whispering that much. I don't hate it either, it's kinda just whatevers. I understand why this random commenter didn't. The problem came where they decided to comment about it?? Like Natalie wouldn't see? Like bro, it's okay to not like whispering, I don't either, but what happened to keeping your opinions to yourself sometimes? Instead of bringing them up unprompted in such a catty way?
I will never shut up about how much I love your long-form content. Don't get me wrong, I love all of your videos, even the shorter vloggy type ones, but I LIVE for hours upon hours of feeling like I'm talking shit with a girlfriend. It is truly my happy place never stop being you
I don't like that the group that represents indigenous people are called fae. The fae come from European folklore and using the term for a group written to represent indigenous North Americans feels icky.
People who comment annoying things like that remind me of that episode of House where the guy has a broken finger, and he’s poking every part of his body and he’s like “Ow. Ow. Ow. Ow. My entire body hurts when I touch it.” And he literally thinks his entire body is injured without ever considering that maybe he’s broken that one finger.
hell yes i willingly clicked on an hours long rant video - i'm here for the whispers, the ranting, the yelling, the different voices, the EVERYTHING that has been around since... uh. [checks notes] the beginning? yea. The beginning. Ok that done - Thank you for the video dearest! ♡
@daniellehershey4731 This is not a hate comment, nor do I agree with hate comments. But isn't that what this channel is all about? Reading bad books and then complaining about them online is engaging in content and complaining about what they chose to engage in.
I'm only in the acknowledgments section, so more thoughts may arise as we move through the story, but something that immediately raises alarm bells for me is the way the author talks about representing "the Native culture." What culture? Despite some shared ways of understanding the world, my tribe has very different customs, language, socio-political structures, spiritual practices, etc than other tribes. I can tell that the author is well-meaning & I appreciate her taking responsibility, but this idea of "Pan-Indigeneity" can really hinder Native efforts to be seen, understood, and supported. (was happy to see this video pop up in my feed! I hope you're taking care of yourself and finding your way out of the nightmare guilt spiral 🖤 I think all too many of us have been there before & understand your need to step back)
I had this same thought. Like the blanket language was strange. Representing native culture... which ones? I also had a thought further along in the book that its strange that the fae are still somewhat the "villains" of this story with Tinkerbell being the resurrected, abusive, awful evil queen of the fae. Technically I guess all of the characters are villains in their own way but Tink was the "final boss" of the story which seems to go against wanting to redo the Native rep in a more respectful way. Like the idea was good in theory but could've been executed better (which could also be said about everything in the series) Thank you for this comment and the kind words
@@emmaexlibris im not native, but i was wondering abt that use of words too.. i mean doesnt take a genius to look up on google that theres more than 1 native/indigenous cultures, whether thats in north america/current-day USA, or other places that have indigenous ppls
@@weirdobookclub”i want to write indigenous people more respectfully than the original!” proceeds to write two incestuous manchild frat bros and the big bad evil queen who is also, yes….. tinkerbell (still genuinely confused about that choice) ((i also have the creeping and gross suspicion that part of her desire to “do Native rep” was just her wanting to write hot Native men as love interests)) I saw another commenter pointing out the inherent dissonance between attempting Native rep + making them fae (a fundamentally european concept) and couldn’t agree more. i feel like the author just. shouldn’t have said anything about trying to do Native rep and just let the story be the mess that it is. I’m still only about halfway through the review (and have no desire to eeevvverrr read these) but i haven’t heard a single thing that i would call good rep so far. like bestie where are the sensitivity readers you thanked
@@melowlw8638it’s honestly a little baffling to me. this author is based in the US-we have hundreds of federally recognized tribes, and many state, local, and unrecognized tribes. it’s just…. common sense that there’s no one universal Native culture? it’s hard to believe she got feedback if even her acknowledgements are using phrases like that lol
9:46 I thought I remembered enough of the series, but as soon as you mentioned her banging the tree, I knew i needed to go back and rewatch your other reviews 😂
He was two weeks old? Two weeks? I was barely remembering to bathe when my son was two weeks has this author ever had a baby?? I refuse to imagine Pan with anything other than his angsty midwestern shitstain voice. ARE YOU A LAMP?
So Tink is the Elsa prototype, cool cool good to know Surfer boi twins, activate! So the Lagoon is a primordial ooze that is just hanging out in the middle of the island like "no biggie, fam!" Why is he horny for legumes. Please explain, why the humble peanut, which isn't even a real nut, makes him harder than a Lego at 2am
Okay it has been a few hours and I have ✨️thoughts✨️ It feels like many of these readers (and writers) grew up with their main access to interesting, readable 'literature' coming from fanfic. So much of the stylized writing and plot coming from dark romance screams early 2010s fandom smut. Making the female protagonist into the biggest Mary Sue - do we even know Winnie'd hair color? Or eye color? Or literally any description that confirms she isn't a body-safe silicone replica of a Darling with low grade sentience? The story had an interesting foundation, but holy fuck it need several more drafts and a copyeditor.
"The biggest one being, I am not the one" 😂😂 this is already great. We're similar age and have sorta similar accents (Tennessee and Kentucky) so that sounded JUST like something I'd say lol. I 💗 your vids, definitely for me! I LOVE rants and your Wild vid had me immediately sold. Keep it up!
'Next rant review: Flames of Chaos...' Hearing that title damn near gave me war flashbacks. It's the first (and so far only) time I've ever DNF'd a book. You are so much stronger than I am!
@StarSquishie I usually spite read books I find out I don't like just to day I finished it. I barely made it half way into FoC before I literally could not take it anymore.
@@redhaze03 Ngl I read the entire thing because I just couldn't imagine what would happen next. Every single chapter was so jarring and bizarre. But it probably helped that my brain literally could not focus on the smut scenes, I was so put off by them that I just had to scroll through them. Literally couldn't force myself through a single sentence.
I'm sorry but I keep thinking that the cover of the Never King is Gideon Nav from The Locked Tomb series beause I keep thinking that those are aviator glasses.
I am a simple girl, I see someone use a Dean Winchester gif and I press the like button... But in all seriousness great video and thank you for your service, I know you have endured many horrors to bring us this content ❤
In my experience, if you're going for X and vibes and the vibes are /working/ some of the worldbuilding/background starts to form out of that. If you have no ideas to fill out the in-between bits, you probably need another edit JUST for tone and mood. Sometimes small details don't get followed up, especially if you don't have a whole series 100% done before you start publishing, but if it's good generally that doesn't get counted against you so much. Self-published doesn't have to mean poorly/unedited!
1. I am so happy you are feeling better. You are such a delight both whispering and shouting. 2. Beans merch soon??? 3. I rescued a Siamese with heart abnormalities and going to an animal cardiologist was expensive and bonkers, but my boy has been on blood thinners ever since and it’s made a huge difference. I had no idea that due to inbreeding, Siamese regularly have heart issues. I’m glad beans is doing better, though!
Can I just say… all your references and clips are just pure perfection😭🩵and I love your voice range, voice changes, whispers, yelling, all of it. It’s so engaging especially while I’m multitasking with this video playing in the background
Oh yay!! I have my popcorn ready for you to talk shit about a series I liked. Honestly I get so much joy out of being like “yeah I loved this but I get why you hated it”. Thanks for doing the work!!❤️❤️
I honestly love how many other videos you have mixed in so that when an ad pops on I actually just assume it's part of the video. I don't skip them as a present ❤
I don't know if this is a new hair cut, but it's great. Suits you amazing, I'm very jelly. No notes on book, I'm distracted by your wonderful haircut and wanted to share the positivity :)
Girl this series felt so random and wild at the same time and I still can't make sense of things💀🤣 honestly thank you for reading this madness for us😂❤
One of the only good things to come from my discovery of this series is that it gave me an idea for a Peter Pan retelling. Not a smutty one but more of a mystery.
I just need you to know i remembered drop dead gorgeous existed literally 2 weeks ago and immediately listened to dressed for friend requests a dozen times in a row
I'm genuinely so sorry that this ended up being such a boring end to the series, but as always, your review was so much fun to watch! I always giggle when you upload and your videos make my day every time. I hope you find yourself doing better, soon. As someone who also struggles with mental health, I know that can be hard, but you have a group of people here who are very happy to have you! Please take care of yourself first and foremost!
This is super random but I listen to these at work a lot and now I associate these awful books with stacking palettes of supplies for a lead mine in rural Alaska. Any time I have to handle stuff for the mines, horny Peter Pan lurks in the back of my mind. Thanks…?
Thank you for reading bad books and then giving amusing rants about them. I never have to waste my time reading them, and I enjoy hearing how others have been driven mad in my stead.
Happy to have you back!! I always look forward to your reviews, I'm glad you took a break so you don't get burnt out. I always think I'm insane when people are raving about these books but then you come along and voice everything I am thinking! 😂
I'm so sorry you get crappy comments, I know how much negative people can suck. I just wanted to say - I love your videos, and they've helped me through a really tough time I've been having lately, so thank you! Keep doing you ❤
I watched your short speaking on the dark romance genre not being what you expected and now this video. I have to say, I’ve found myself seeking YA lately because it is easier to find plot with a side of romance. I am just looking for an easy, quick, cute read to zone out to without cringing.
I love your long-form content!!! I'll admit that I had no freaking idea how these series ended... with Winnie as Queen? of Neverland? Welp, I have to watch Natalie's again.
I'm so glad you have Beans as emotional support for the ride, what a beautiful baby he is ❤️ Can't really say anything about the book, it was kind of a nothing burger. I'm intrigued with the crocodile going after hook, though!
I've been a silent viewer for ages now and especially enjoy your humour and the way you read the lost boys watched all the vids and just wanted to comment today to counter those dumb comments you got to spread some positivity. This series is insane but your reviews make it more fun so thank you
HEYY GIRLIE, ive alwayss searched yt for REAL rant reviews that actually REVIEW lmaoo ,n so i found u! watched ALL the vids while doing art n am so happy about it ,i was gonna ask if u MAY read the (once upon a broken heart)series i wanna buy it but have no time to read due to my work ,u r amazing at this , lots of love ❤
i’m currently writing my own peter pan retelling, and every time i think i’m getting a little too stupid with it i rewatch these reviews and it makes me feel so much better
Hello and good day. All of your videos are very enjoyable. I think that these reviews are important and therapeutic. These books are out there like bad fake news. Thanks for doing reviews of the worst ones.
I love your sassy attitude! Anyone who doesn’t like your videos can kick rocks with open toed shoes. I find your sarcasm and rants hilarious and subscribed because of how funny you are. I love your reviews ❤

Are...are you doing the censoring in real-time? That's so impressive, holy crap!
I can't believe Nikki actually used the word unalive in the author's note. Girl... the social media algorithm can't hurt you. That's a published book
Pfft

THE SHADOW CAST BY PETER PAN IN HER HOUSE
IN THE SYNOPSIS
ABOUT A BOOK ABOUT HIM LOSING HIS SHADOW
WHEEEEEEEEEEZE
as an indigenous person, i've been hoping and praying for more representation, but...this is not WHAT I MEANT😭

"What are you, a lamp?" Is SENDING me
To quote everyone's favorite weatherman, Brick Tamlin, "I love lamp!... I love lamp."

Same for me tbh 😂

Thanks for this new opportunity of nothing happening but us bonding 🤭❤
At least we have each other 🖤

Ugh yes. I really try to enjoy those days because they’re so freaking rare 😭🖤
love your new (?) glasses!
Thank you! Yea they are new and I have been loving them 🥰

Happy to have you back!! I always look forward to your reviews, I'm glad you took a break so you don't get burnt out. I always think I'm insane when people are raving about these books but then you come along and voice everything I am thinking! 😂
I'm so sorry you get crappy comments, I know how much negative people can suck. I just wanted to say - I love your videos, and they've helped me through a really tough time I've been having lately, so thank you! Keep doing you ❤
I watched your short speaking on the dark romance genre not being what you expected and now this video. I have to say, I’ve found myself seeking YA lately because it is easier to find plot with a side of romance.
I am just looking for an easy, quick, cute read to zone out to without cringing.
I love your long-form content!!!
I'll admit that I had no freaking idea how these series ended... with Winnie as Queen? of Neverland? Welp, I have to watch Natalie's again.
I'm so glad you have Beans as emotional support for the ride, what a beautiful baby he is ❤️
Can't really say anything about the book, it was kind of a nothing burger. I'm intrigued with the crocodile going after hook, though!
You have quickly become one of my all time favorite UA-camrs. I would never read these books, but I live for your reviews of them! 🐈⬛
Your cat is so cute! Ngl whenever I watch a video on UA-cam that has a cat in it, I want to pet it.
PMDD gang ❤
1:11:29 Extra likes for the Stone Sour clip. It made this book more bearable. 👍🤘
Having a boring ass day at work and then I see this!! Hell yeah ❤ (also I’m a fan of your “weird yelling”, never change)
I've been a silent viewer for ages now and especially enjoy your humour and the way you read the lost boys watched all the vids and just wanted to comment today to counter those dumb comments you got to spread some positivity. This series is insane but your reviews make it more fun so thank you
I clicked so fast- legit a present after a bear of a work week. Cannot wait for you to shred this!

Hello and good day. All of your videos are very enjoyable. I think that these reviews are important and therapeutic. These books are out there like bad fake news. Thanks for doing reviews of the worst ones.
I love your sassy attitude! Anyone who doesn’t like your videos can kick rocks with open toed shoes. I find your sarcasm and rants hilarious and subscribed because of how funny you are. I love your reviews ❤
THANK YOU LEE ❤💀
