"Not only is he a cop, but he has a foot fetish and I just don't know that i can support him in this endeavor in this trying time".
I don't always agree with Chandler but I still love watching her reactions. They're always entertaining.
Samee! I love this book but even her hating on it is entertaining lol
I’m just gonna assume that since it’s sjm bryce & demon daddy are gonna be endgame and hunt is gonna be a republican
FINGERS CROSSED
Same!
Yeah kinda wanna him to be her mate now that she's "evolved" or something
NOOOO 😭
YES!!
If demon daddy takes her down under in the next book - I'm here for it.
Why is there a demon daddy
yes please, that's my only hope for the sequel...
@@AikiraBeats demon daddy is the kitty cat boi? I'm assuming... the prince that she summoned with obsidion salt when searching for clues.
Okay so I wasn’t the only one thinking this 😂 thank god
This will happen I call it lol. Ms Maas loves her romance switcheroos
the merman deadass was the best side character! taste
Honestly Tharion is my man
listen sister... i agree with everything you said. but i still ate this trash uP!!!!! I've accepted being the shit that I am.
i'm honestly & genuinely happy for you, i wish i had :(
WAIT A MINUTE house of earth and blood is the name of the book and crescent city is the name of the series?? my life is a lie
same
Same. Cuz everybody has been saying crescent city
I thought it was the other way round. The book is called crescent city and the series is called house of earth and blood
“He can smell that FRESH tilapia” chandler I-
😂 I ate this book up so bad and I have no shame. I loved it! It’s so nice to see your perspective though, this video definitely made me laugh because I can for sure understand your points. Especially the beginning omg I did not want to continue the book. BUT STILL this story like ruined my life, I loved it so much 😭😭
“I stopped reading the Bible because it was boring” is SUCH a mood
Yep couldn't say it better
Lol I stopped reading because the rape and incest was starting to weird me out
im suing you "he can smell bryce's fresh tilapia"
hehe
DNFing the bible is a power move
This comment without any context of the funniest thing I’ve ever read
Lmaoooo
I never picked up the Bible, anyone wants to tell me what it is about? But I did DNF the quran
This man/woman doesn't fear anyone🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
"Why do the other 500 pages exist?"
Literally, all I want to know!! 😂😂😂 Does SJM even have an editor anymore? Does anyone tell her "no?"
I agree with the book being slow in the start, but I thought the ending was cool. also, It's stated that the Autumn King is her father many times, and she didn't eat the horn, it was mixed with witch ink and tattooed on her back lmaoooo
right idk how she got the info mixed up LMAOOOOOOOOO
I cringed so hard when she said that... its crazy how everyone could read the same thing and yet come out with a different interpretation....
it speaks to how unnecessarily convoluted this entire story was lmao
"Seeks to active her light" ...I'm picturing them cracking her back and her lighting up like a glow stick XD
You: I really haven't heard very many people say they absolutely hated this book
Me: *enters the chat*
im living for this commentary “he can smell the fresh tilapia” like gURL
Unrelated but the thumbnail is so cute 🥺💕
thank you!!
imagine being less exciting than Rowan and Rhys 😭😷💀
i miss rhys... what’s wrong with me
DEAD 💀
Honestly hahahahah
totally wasn't feeling Hunt and Bryce's chemistry all too much. I think she might get with the devil guy lol
inabookshell knowing Maas she will find a even hunkier guy later on she kinda has a pattern but I hope she will surprise this time. And if we count chaol as the first real love intrest cuss it was the first she was in a relationship with than she has had a pattern in making the first love intrest a hated character ( tho chaol kinda came around but so did Lucien kinda ish) I really do hope she will surprise me. Otherwise she will just be too predictable. It might be the devil guy but it would be a pretty predictable move. Idk maybe I’m just looking into it to much.
devil daddy is my new favorite thing.
Bryce came for Clary Fairchild and Alina Starkov's bag 💀😂
I love Sarah J Maas but this book was boring, and predictable. The end was like her other books: MC is hiding a really powerful power from everyone in the world, oh no! But wait - in the end she has to reveal it to save the world!! Ahahahah!! So dramatic.
She didn’t eat the horn,the tattoo on her back is the horn crushed up🤷🏼♀️just sayin,love your video tho💛
2:21 I mean what can you do... it fits so they sits
I’m legitimately worried that SJM is going to follow her track record and make Aidas the main love interest by giving him a Rhys-inspired redemption arc...
i'd be worried for the lack of originality except hunt is blander than unbuttered toast and i crave some FLAVOR
chandler ainsley TRUE but i’m so done with her redemption arcs because they kind of... aren’t even redemption arcs???
Madelaine Rowley Maas showed so many paterns between tog and acotar I really hope for some originality in this series. Even in this book she is showing signs of these paterns already but she might still surprise us.
I REALLY hope that Hunt is the end all be all. I can understand how Hunt can come off as "bland" but I like him. Idk, he's a cool guy to me. I feel like his backstory is good and Maas can do something with that in the next book.
@@shanelclark2949 Same.
I want them to be an end game.
NOT THE DEMON CAT GUY
Idk why but I somehow end up liking the side characters more than the main characters,, like ruhn,, therion,,, hypaxia,,, fury,,, *chef's kiss* what really let me down was the fact that bryce was the starborn Fae,, I wouldve really enjoyed the dynamic of her being an average half fae/ human and overcoming her obstacles using her wits and physical prowess without some other worldly power
This! One of the reasons I liked Bryce more than other main characters is because she’s not special. She just does her best. But having a chosen one is more important I guess…
Okay for the record I would absolutely be down for Aidas “demon daddy” being the future love interest bc I love him for absolutely no reason. But SJM always has one love interest in the beginning and then the end game later on 😪 so I doubt Hunt is the end all be all
Literally only want to read the next book for Tharion and Aidas
Same and because I wanna see how Ithan and Bryce’s relationship develops
I walked away from this book thinking it was less of a romance and more of a love letter to friendship. Prob Bc the romance was boring AF & bad. Was 80% of the book painfully boring? Yes. Was the world unnecessarily complex & info-dumpy? Helllls yes. Did I like the characters? Not really. BUT I enjoyed the end. From the big bad battle & first tragic death through to the end. I read that part twice. Really liked it. Beautiful, messy ode to friendship as family, IMO. Was it worth struggling through everything else? Meh. I could’ve taken 1/4-1/3 of the info included & the read the end & had a better experience. But maybe SJM will create an epic world in this series? That would be great.
Sarah said “ACOTAR but make it urban fantasy”
when you get nervous about not being able to remember their names but they all die soon after so it doesn't matter. I liked the book more than some of SJM's other books because I saw it as being more focused on the familial love between Bryce and Danika; yes there's Bryce and Hunt but she got through certain important events because she loved her best friend who was quite literally her ride or die best friend.
what did we expect from a character named HUNT lmao
I really enjoyed the video! Friendly reminder everyone: stay home!!!
not u saying she's pulling a cassandra clare LOL sjm is NOT into incest KFDJFDKGHHJGLHJ
i already know i'm going to betray myself and pick this up at some point down the line
LOL I bought my copy the day after it came out just to spare myself and get the betrayal over with right away I recommend you do the same.
I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS ONE, TURN IT UP
looool prepare for... a time
Basically when reading the back cover I thought Hunter was a girl and thought it was going to be a female-female main relationship... and when I heard it wasn't... not interested honestly. Especially after hearing reviews of it, I realize it's not quite for me.
Okay I loved this book, but the way you dragged it through the dirt for all of its typical sarah j maas cliches had me cACKLING
I still don’t have a copy of this book and I’m mad about it
I hate, HATE, this book. It was such a chore to read. I had to buy the audiobook and do other things while listening to it in order to get through it. And then return it because it was trash.
I enjoyed this as an urban fantasy, Bryce, her friends, her chimera, liked the mystery aspect, and world that Maas built. ACOTAR/ACOMAF are still my favorites. Did not like Hunt.
Here's a good quarantine idea: Take a shot every time they say the word "fuck".
idk what it is but you going through an entire book like scene by scene is my fav kind of review especially when they’re longer videos and I can curl up with my dinner and put them on
Same that's what I'm doing
When you were talking about the drop all I could think about was that scene from The Covenant where they drop off a cliff.
ugh that movie is phenomenal
I loved Ruhn and yeah, I also got that vibe that maybe they were gonna pull a Cassandra Clare (so glad they didn’t) only cause Hunt mentioned that the Fae like to keep their bloodlines pure and in the family. I love that Bryce and Ruhn love each other.... but that comment by Hunt really F-ed me up for a while.
Also am I the only one who was confused about the very last chapter with the demon and Bryce’s boss?? Bc I still don’t understand it
Wow you took the words out of my mouth! Everyone always asks for “fantasy romance” and I’m like...there’s a genre for that....
Bryce and Danika should have been in a relationship, that is all
omfg "does she got that stink, stink?" really took me completely out lmao 🤣
also the witch queen is literally manon reincarnate. not complaining tho
5:05 “my hair is looking rough” *has perfect hair*
I hated this book. All it’s proved to me is that SJM is incapable of writing original characters and no one edits her books.
I have not read this (yet? Ever?), but as soon as I saw your thumbnail I knew I had to click because you’d be honest, so thanks for that! I’m even more torn on if I want to read it now 😫🙈
GOD YES . I've never once read a SJM video but I have watched every single vlog for this book I can find for some reason. Excited to see what you end up thinking, most people I watch have all given it above a 3.
I really have enjoyed your videos lately because now I look at a book, even if it's 300 pages and say well I can finish this today easily in like 4 hours. I really love how you're able to push through so many books so quickly. Now when I try to finish a book in a short period of time I think of it in hours it'd take and I think I've gotten faster (mainly more focused). But all the same I appreciate how your videos seemed to help me in realizing that.
ur in for a treat (kind of)
the color coordination of the thumbnail... amazing
I did really enjoy this book but can totally see all of your opinions... also if this turns out to be a hades/Persephone retelling with demon daddy I would die happy because I also would choose demon daddy over hunt
Same
I know you are wary of high fantasy, but you should check out the Black Jewel Trilogy bu Anne Bishop. SUPER dark with many traumatized/damaged characters
the foot fetish thing made me 🤢
*grabs popcorn" I enjoyed the hell out of this tropey goodness buuut when Chandler is roasting a book I AM HERE FOR IT
"Am I bitter and a bitch? Yes, for sure. Certainly" HAH, if that isn't the most relatably Slytherin offhand comment then I don't know what is
"Same dumb bitch. Different sweatshirt." My life motto
This has been the only SJM book that I’m rooting for a different love interest from the moment we meet the first one. Can’t stand Hunt and his judge-y, overbearing, crybaby attitude
I totally agree about hunt I really want to see the next book involve more of aidas and also really loved ruhns character he reminds me of a better version of Lucian
You are hilarious. “ how do you info dump in the first 16 pages of a book?”
I don’t get Rhys vibes from Hunt tho. Rhys is effortlessly arrogant and wonderful supportiveness but Hunt is judgmental of everyone and arrogant for not having any real agency over anything
Really disagree 🤷🏻♀️ Hope the next books are better for you because I really enjoyed this book! 🙂
maybe it’s the quarantine but I couldn’t keep all the details straight when YOU were telling me so the idea of having to do it myself gives me rona symptoms
this whole thing was a mess, but to be fair so is the book lol
'Does she got that stank stank??' killed me off
11:30 the SOUND i just made was utterly ungodly
I could not make myself like the main character so there was no way I could love the book. The most beautiful, powerful, sassy and masterful (fights with swords without practice and is a gun master AT THE SAME TIME. Like seriously. One in each hand) woman in the world. Thinking about it even now is upsetting me. I do agree about Rune. For some reason I cared more about him.
And the entire book was either predictable or so left field that it didn’t make sense
I got an ARC and dnf'd so fast, the info dumping was too intense and it was too soon after giving birth and my two braincells were like 'abort mission' ☠🚫☢⚠️
I also got the sexual vibes between Ruhn and Bryce. Sorry for the spam comments, I just haven’t found someone who also wants to like the book but just CANT
how though? i think that’s a you thing... sorry dude but there were no sexual vibes between them
Mannnn, everyone’s bringing up Aidas and I’m intrigued and nervous. 😭
This thumbnail? Impeccable
Angels and vampires in one world is weird? I guess, maybe, I'm just too used to seeing that happen at this point. One of my favorite book series from in my youth...the vampires actually WERE the -(fallen)- angels!!😅🤣🤣😹
((Or maybe it's 'cause I was introduced to vampires, old-school -- back when they were or were kind of associated with demons &/or the demonic, so .. really....it kind of just actually makes perfect sense, to me, if sometimes they're also depicted right along with the opposite or the antonym or whatever you wanna call it of that too? WHO KNOWS!!! LOL))
I dunno, I actually kinda like it[ usually] when people put multiple different things together - and _especially_ if they aren't something that's usually seen together - instead of keeping things totally separate; I get kinda bored if there are ONLY one or two creatures in a world...but, at the same time, I guess I kinda also understand how it is or can be a little weird at the same time too. 🤷♀️ i guess maybe I'm just sort of a ho for strange mashups and crossovers and fusions and hybrids and shite in general, anyway, so. Id(e)kK. I feel weirdly compelled to try and read this book someday, JUSTT to see how I feel about it too or not. 🤣🤣 .....buut, my TBR list is already basically impossibly long, maybe next year or the year after that or something, we'll see.🤣 Lmfao!
what am I doing here, I never even read Sarah J. Maas, I see Chandler uploading, I click ... I'm a simple girl...
She didn't eat the horn... It's in her tattoo. Like it was inked into her back.
BARNACLE BOY 💀
I feel like I’m watching myself read this book. Lol. I’m like uuuuuggggghhhhh just keep going, just finish this damn book. But it’s so hard. I’m just not enjoying this one at all. I love ACOTAR and loved TOG up until Heir of Fire. So I knew this would be hit or miss. It’s definitely a miss for me.
i’m 303 pages in am just boredddd
I'll be back in a few weeks when I finish queen but I ALREADY KNOW THE VLOG IS GOLD!!!
She didn’t eat it lmfaooooooo
Bryce and Hunt looks too good to be the end just cuz it’s SJM😐~~so i think it’s gonna be demon daddy and Bryce
i care so much about Ruhn tbh and since bryce is [redacted] i wonder how important ruhn will be later????
i’m so glad i’m not the only person who didn’t give a fuck about bryce or hunt
Danika had the Horn ground up and tattooed on Bryce. So no Bryce didn't consume the horn. What she consumed was the Synth. A drug that kinda fixed the "Horn" in other words activating it.
i love this trashy shit love u sarah
FRESH TILAPIA I AM DEAD
I literally love all of your videos!! Thank you for posting
You had me laughing the entire time. Thank you, I agree with almost everything you said. Almost.
I HATE AND WILL HATE, if sarah butchers Hunt's character. (even if you dont like him) I'm so sick of her destroying what she develops to recreate it with some other perfect endgame. I cant stand it. I hate it. I hate it. I hated the change in Tamlins character to put rhys on a pedestal. And the works.
Anyway.
Thank you for this video review, it was great! Thank you!
SAME. Like sis please keep Hunt. This guy literally is a good guy!
@@shanelclark2949 Exactly! Even if they have a fall out and arent end-game, lets just have it where its an actual relationship type thing, not some over the top character flip. I dont want to read that all of a sudden Hunt likes torturing puppies and electrifying humans. (because he does have that little hint of adversity towards humans)
NOT THE LEHABAH SLANDER 💔
We stan an honest queen with a cute asf thumbnail 💖
Chandler! You don't have to read the Bible from cover to cover! LMFAO you should read individual books within the Bible instead of all of it in one go
i was in middle school lol
@@chandlerainsley fair enough
Fingers crossed we get more Adias-demon daddy in the second book
looooooove these!!! thank you for reading this book to me. appreciated. ;p
I personally i loved this but also that's the only book of hers that i have read so that might be why
I. 👏🏼 Am. 👏🏼 Here. 👏🏼 For. 👏🏼 This. 👏🏼
lol she didn't eat the horn. She had it inked on her back.
This was my first SJM book (and frankly this might be the only one) and im not gonna lie, I like the book a little too much😅. But I agree that there were too many pointless scenes and repeated dialogue, I think the book could have benefited from another editing session. Maybe scrap 200 pages at least
I agree Bryce is definitely Calaene and I did not like her at all (I gave up TOG after book 2) which explains why I had so much trouble liking Bryce in here. I felt Hunt's personality was a lot more bland compared to Rhys. I wanted a couple to fangirl over like Feyre and Rhys and man I did not give a damn about Hunt and Bryce as a couple. THANK YOU for not liking Bryce. I FEEL VALIDATED!
