I loved the way you talked about this book!! It's really refreshing to hear someone talk about her work in such a nuanced way! I'm really impressed by SJM's love of writing, and the way she's pumping out books like CRAZY. I also liked what you said about just writing the books we want to write. I forget that Throne of Glass came out in the paranormal romance and urban fantasy era of publishing. I read this book when I was in my last year of high school and that seriously felt like forever ago. Great discussion as always!!
aw thank you kelley!!! I can almost guarantee I'll get less nuanced as I read more LOL. I also admire that about her, and it's sooo wild that this book is over 10 years old now like what
I came here to watch you roast a book from the author, I thought I would never get into their works, but now I might be inclined to give TOG a try. I tried Acotar but it wasn't for me. I would love to see you do this kind of breakdown for Fourth Wing but It's asking too much cuz that book looks huge. Well that's that. Thank you! I love watching your breakdowns and vlogs ❤
omg haha to clarify I dont think it's a good book or a must-read, but it was definitely an interesting one in the context of the canon (?) of YA fantasy, and I was in the mood for something cw-esque! I have been eyeing fourth wing for a while but struggling to find a used copy at a reasonable price, but once I do I'll definitely do a video! tysm for watching
omg that cover is crazyyyy LOL. i had no idea that this book was picked up after being pubbed online first. it really is an ancestral wattpad novel 😭!! it's so interesting that a *sequel* hit the bestseller list before the first one. i feel like that's so rare these days, as is getting an 8-book deal :(
Will I ever read SJM books? Not at all. Will I read some of my fav booktubers/authortubers discuss the good/bad of her works? For sure. 😆
haha I'm happy to put myself through them for your guys' sake!!

@@lynndjung Fourth Wing is even worse. Like bad. Even certain character deaths weren't sad for me. Legit Wattpad-esque. Read better fanfic
haha this kind of makes me want to read it more
Your earrrings!!! Where did you get those moth ones?? Love the take on the book btw, thank you for the stuff you create 😊
I got them at a Buffalo Exchange in Southern California! tysm
That cover gave me the CHILLS. The flashbacks of me trying to find this book fantranslated hit hard
it feels like a legit ancient relic at this point HAHA
Omg I heard ACOTAR and lemme tell you, it’s a good plot and her writing gets better, but omg the romance is really FUCKING toxic
I LOVE THIS SERIES (IS IT??) OF YOU READING BOOKS FROM A WRITER'S PERSPECTIVE
ahh thank you I really enjoy doing these!!
I never liked the book either when i read it. But i do understand the hype tho. I get how people will like it, but it was not for me for some reason
I agree!! I'm definitely not the target audience but I can see the appeal 100%

goddd I know right??? I miss the days when publishing gave debut authors a fighting chance
