    ✨ POST EDITING✨ 1. I realized I didn't even touch on how violent Rhysand can be because i legitimately forgot about it due to sjm making those scenes (killing people with his bare hands cause he's so angry, etc) so quick in order to focus on...wings. My b!
    2. After mulling this over for a few weeks (filmed this a while ago) and reading a few more fairy books, I will give Cardan the tiniest *tiniest* break for his bad behavior but I still stand by my opinion that Holly Black needed to give us more time to understand/accept his character change :)

      Hey! Just wanna tell you that an illustrated book in Cardan's perspective is coming out in November 24, 2020. It's called "How the King of Elfhame Learned to Hate Stories". Maybe you should check it out? He's kinda a fave of mine. Love the video btw 😘

Before dear Cardan I loved Draco for three years or so and shipped him so badly with Hermione that I ruined my grades...(because of fanfics...🥲) Well I still love him tho haha. ❤️

      And about After, I enjoyed the whole drama thing a lot. It was like I never freaked out so much while reading this series and even tho I don’t love Harden, I don’t hate him either. The confusing stuff was kinda nice too, because well it made me feel curious...😅
      I absolutely accept everyone’s opinion on him, but I just, I wouldn’t want to be in a relationship with him but reading about Tessa and Harden was a very new experience and interesting.

      To be honest, none of her characters got a decent redemption arc.
      Snape is another one, yeah he's a prickly asshole and not a great teacher. But on the other hand he was forced to stay a teacher by Dumbledor, a job that he clearly hated. Everyone is constantly insulting his appearance behind his back or to his face.
      He puts himself in years of mortal danger to make up for his mistakes and ends up dead and alone in a shack, without ever making another friend in his life.
      I'd probably be one bitter bitch in his situation too

    The darkling is sooooo difficult because I want to put him in 'deserved better' just for that final scene where he asks her to say his name (god! I'm still not over this), and then asks her not to leave him. But then the other part of me comes out that has a conscience and needs to stop excusing men out of terrible behavior just because they are hot and once in a while have emotionally vulnerable moments.

I just finished that book yesterday and it made me want to cry because I know that there was a soft side of him but he rarely showed it because he was taught to not bow down to anyone and be his own leader so he’s never let his guard down. And the only time we got a little bit of the soft side was with Alina. But I also have to remember that he had his bad times and was evil a lot of the times. :(

    Kaz is honestly one of my favourite characters of all time. While I do recognise that he did some questionable things in the books, I couldn't help but sympathize with his character because of the absolutely horrid things he experienced as a child. I also think that he had to maintain his cruel facade just to survive. I think inherently he is a good person and really does care about his friends even though he may not express it very overtly. Really enjoyed this video though :)

    Kaz is in the love category for me but I recognize that he's...problematic. Draco definitely deserved better. That's why I've read thousands if not more fics with Draco redemption arcs. The Raven Cycle books were a torture to read (the author's writing is very unique...it works for some. for me it was really out there and took me out of the story), but I did it anyway for Ronan & Adam.

    I honestly think cardan was so bad in the first book because we were seeing everything from judes eyes and Jude HATED cardan. Like he was obviously reallt bad in the first book but there was probably a ton of stuff we missed regarding growth because Jude didn’t recognize it either. Also notice how Jude started seeing the charming and kind and funny side of him once she stopped hating him as much? He could’ve always been that way but she just missed it because of how much she hates him. (ALSO I am NOT a first book Cardan apologist, he was AWFUL, I just love second and third book cardan and feel like there had to be some explanation of the way he changed so quickly)

    A bit late to the comments BUT I'm so so soooo sorry that you had to read After! I'm a One Direction fan and I was in the fandom already at the time it was being written (the fanfiction). I remember that there was certainly a big portion of the fandom that enjoyed it and actually looked forward to new updates but It never appealed to me because of how abusive Hardin's character sounded. And don't get me wrong, I'm all for fanfiction, I like reading it, so it's not even about "oh they portrayed Harry as x y z" but more about the toxic ideas it reinforced to (mostly) teenage girls. Thank you for this space to rant haha hadn't talked about that in a while.

    Diana Wynne Jones was an astounding author and all of her books are amazing. Yet the trilogy World of Howl is something that out of all of her books I've read so far stayed in my heart the most. Story of Sophie, Calcifer, Howl and of the kingdoms we visit throughout the three books are so well written and imaginative I couldn't stop reading for hours on end. Any time I'm talking with someone and he mentions the Studio Ghibli movie Howl's moving castle (Or Castle in the sky which is how it's called in the country I live in), I always recommend the books. I mean, there is so much more to the characters than meets the eye! Howl's moving castle is the first book and probably the loveliest. Then the second book Castle in the air, then the third House of many ways. Man I loved those books. :D

But to me that idea of people just continuously inspiring each other is lovely.

    You should totally give the Raven Cycle another go. I LOVE IT! It is very character focused and in the following books you learn so much about the inner workings of all these really complex humans. There is even a whole book from Ronan’s POV which if I’m honest I wasn’t initially very interested in but it was really really enjoyable. I’m not sure if you’re more of a character driven or plot driven reader because it for sure isn’t some people’s cup of tea. But I think you’ll enjoy it. The world building creates a setting that is so whimsical and also jarringly realistic at the same time. Read it in middle school/high school and it has stayed with me since! I think your rating for Ronan will for sure change if you continue the series.
    Love this channel and find it so interesting to hear other people’s opinions!
    Really happy you decided to make it so I can feed my book addiction!

    I just discovered your channel a couple of days ago and I've absolutely been binging your videos. It's been so interesting to see just how similarly we feel about some books and how drastically different about others.
    Cardan and Hardin going in the lowest tier cracked me up, because that is not where I would put either of them. It's always very jarring for me when BookTubers bring up the AFTER series' fan-fic past because I tend to forget that was ever a thing. I discovered and read the books as published works.
    To me, that series has always just been a crazy accurate, epically messed up modern-day re-telling of Dangerous Liaisons, (a book that has a part of my soul in its mits,) with a Wuthering Heights and Pride and Prejudice twist. While everything you said about the character is true and valid, I can't imagine a dark, contemporary re-imagining of Sebastian Valmont being any way other than how Hardin is. It's one of those stories and characters that isn't easy for everyone to stomach, but it's quite literally supposed to be that way.

    I’m actually glad I’m not the only one who feels the same about Cardan, I agree with your opinion 100%. I started the Cruel Prince through booktok and I actually had to stop 1/4 of the way through because the way they were bullying her just felt weird because on booktok so many people love and praise Cardan and I remember thinking .. “am I reading the same book??”
    Anyways, I decided to pick it back up again this year and finish the series and it was like ..just okay imo. I agree that I feel Holly didn’t give him a good enough redemption arc that made me want to look past his “bad boy ways”. He was almost too cruel and then his redemption arc was like .. mediocre at best. He was just existing. Like what did he do that made him so good after? Did I miss something ?
    I still enjoyed the book but for as much as it was hyped up, I was a bit disappointed.

    I know that this is just her opinion but she shouldn’t have put Cardan on the bottom saying that he let his friends drug the girl he loved and made them strip here, and then just put Rhysand on the top when in the first book he did the same thing. He drugged feyre himself made her kiss random people. Both of them changed in the later books, Rhysand also hid medical information from Feyre. She was going to die and he didn’t even tell her!

    • @caricanread
      @caricanread  3 роки тому +3

    Ok to be honest, I agreed with most of these except Cardan. I agree he did some sketchy stuff, but you also get a lot better of a feel for his character in books 2-3, and you understand that he definitely deserved better. Also like so much of his life is dictated by court politics and the fact that if he shows happiness or affection toward anything, it can and will be used against him to hurt him.

    Regarding the After serie, I didn't read the fan fiction nor see the movie but i have read all the books. As the story unfolds you get more information about the character's childhood and events from his past. I don't have knowledge or experience about that kind of situations but i can understand he didn't know how to get over them in a good way. At the same time, during the whole story it is interesting to see how he becomes more self aware and changes into a reasonable human being.
    I enjoyed watching your video and cannot wait for new books to look into. All the best! 😊

    That being said, considering what I guessed you liked based on your opinion about cardan and Locke, I believe other malfoy fan fictions would suit you better (the fallout, love and other misfortunes, the disappearances of Draco Malfoy, The Auction…)
    TW manacled is one of the darkest book I’ve ever read -and I’ve read many dark romances-.
