Same here! I have no interest in reading Crescent City or ACOTAR (maybe throne of glass); they're just not my thing, but I will support bestie in any way I can.😂
Lol the beginning when you said it wasnt going to be a happy ending. It was SO HAPPY, TOO HAPPY. So easy, too easy. The ending had a little bow put on it lol
bro I literally feel you no matter what I was rooting for the ACOTAR characters the whole time I could never understand Bryce's actions or her attitude like those are my people Bryce was pissing me off 😭😭😭
I love Bryce but was also annoyed with her especially the way she treated Hunt like why does she expect him to be ok with all her plans after all that he had to endure? I really liked their relationship in the first and second book but not in this one.. Lidia really saved this book for me! I want more Ruhn and Lidia😍
idk I thought Bryce was justified with being wary of the ACOTAR characters cuz when she was asking what they would do about the horn they said theyd cut it out of her back if necessary
you sobbing the last 100 pages was so real 😭 exactly what i looked like LMAO. i’ve also heard rumors that the next CC may be like silver flames where we’re still in that world but maybe we follow ithan or tharion. i’m also SO curious how the next acotar is gonna be. i would love if we get elains story and then maybe an acotar wrap up with everyone’s POV? either way i will be eating up anything and everything this woman writes
i will say, when bryce jumped through the portal from Az and Nesta they literally said they would cut the horn off her back so that she couldnt get home. then reading one of the bonus chapters Rhys literally said he would have killed Bryce if she came back with them the first time. I wouldnt trust a different worlds fae to keep me alive if I had something that could kill all their people so you bet I would get out of there as soon as I could. on the other hand if I were in Rhys is position I would also not let her leave my court. She doesnot have a reason to trust them because they will always pick their people over her.
i dont feel like you can betray someone that you have no loyalty to. both groups owed nothing to the other one. i feel like if it was a group that we had no connection to we would all be like supportive of her. if it was a group we didnt know and she was spilling her secrets everyone would be like "girl you are so dumb. you dont know them. dont tell them anything" but with the inner circle we suddenly expect more from her. every fae leader that she has met has been terrible. her father and conners father were terrible to them so she had no reason to trust Rhys.
This book was incredible. No other books send me into every emotion like SJM. I feel like her books cant even be rated like other books because there is just so much MORE in them. 10 stars
The ACOTAR crossover was definitely a carrot! & I know it sounds wrong but somebody was supposed to die. Like Baxian or Tharion. SOMEBODY. It doesn’t seem complete without a death. 😩😂
Was so excited to watch this! No other books make me quite as emotional in every sense of the word as SJM books do. I also sobbed my eyes out. I think the theories about this book as an end to the focus being on Hunt and Bryce’s story are likely true and that’s why the ending was happy. Not that they won’t appear in the future bc I’m sure they will. I also think CC4 will probably be House of Many Waters with Tharion as the focal point. Especially with ACOTAR 5 being the next SJM book we’re getting I think it’s going to be more of Nesta as the main plot based off the bread crumbs in this book and I’m not mad (Elain who?). Finally, the TOG tie in has to mean something more. Maybe I’m just reaching because I will never get enough of TOG, but we literally get Aelin falling through Prythian in ACOSF and KOA, and the shifters are originally from Erilea? Also SJM dropping hints about going back to working on something very close to her heart? TOG all day. In some form please and thank you.
This has to be my favorite video of yours and I’m literally only halfway through. Please do more spoiler reading vlogs!!! ❤ I just finished this book yesterday and I’m loving everything you’re saying. 😂
I didn’t really cry reading the book, but I absolutely cried watching you cry reading it! Also, I 100% got pulled into reading the 2nd and 3rd books because I’d heard little comments about ACOTAR characters being mentioned
I just had an absolute mental breakdown 😅 after I calmed myself down, I thought “an SJM book would calm me down”. So I immediately thought of your page and watching this video!!! Just here to let you know that we LOVE YA DES!! 🫶🏽💖✨ your videos bring us so much joy and are such a safe space. Thank you for creating happiness and realness in your vlogs 💕💕
I'm so late to this, but I've been watching your videos while I'm working and you're just the cutest!!! Omg your thoughts while reading this were so similar to mine and I just love it!!
Didn’t cry while reading but watching this made me cry haha😭 I loved this book actually. Lidia was my favourite character in the book and Hunt grew on me but agreed Bryce was annoying sometimes.
I am reading A court of silver flames right now and working my way thru the Throne of glass serie and my all time favorit in all of these books are Lehaba and the fire sprites❤️🔥❤️🧡💛❤️🔥
FULL TRANSPARENCY! I am on a court of mist and fury and have 17 more books to go in this universe but idc I’ll forget by then this year is my Sarah J mass year 😂
I was so annoyed that the most impactful characters were literally dead. We literally got 10 pages of Connor and Danika in a 3000 pages series. WHY ARE THEY STILL HERE???
Book 4 is gonna be a spinoff, kind of like how Nesta got her own in ACOTAR. I bet it’s gonna be an Ithan/Tharion book. Ithan has the Sigrid thing, Tharion has Sathia and things HOMW. I also wouldn’t be surprised to get a hypaxia storyline
I had the same feelings!! Bryce definitely got on my nerves in this book and there was way too much info dumping that it felt like my brain was short-circuiting half the time but I LOVED Lidia in it! I'm very curious what the next book will be about (if there is one??)
Amazing video. I love how you covered the whole book for us and let us know your thoughts on it❤. I think it will be at least 2 or 3 years until we get another Crescent city book and maybe 1 year or 2 until the next ACOTAR book comes out.
Eeekk!! Your videos like this inspired me to do my own! I posted one today too! Watching your reactions is actually getting me through this Friday, love it so much!!!
I cried so much during the book, I was like you sobbing and my chest was hurting so much. Thank you for editing this for us I know it was hard and you had to force yourself to do it. I love this I just finished the book and ran here to see your opinion. 😊 You don't have another chapter after the acknowledgments? 😮 I have the Behind the scenes of her parents when Bryce dropped them in Velarys.
I haven’t finished the book yet so I can’t watch the video. But I’m def gonna like and comment and add it to my watch later list bc of course it’s bestie Des ❤❤
Did anyone else catch that the Bone King said Urd was called Wyrd in his world? Connection to ToG, along with the shifters of Midgard being from ToG's world originally. I hope we get all three series crossing over in the next book!
I honestly think the parts in the ACOTAR world are all set up for the next book in that series. If she did to much it might have felt like fan service so I’m not mad about what she did especially if it’ll lead to more plot for ACOTAR books.
I feel you! I wanted a shocking Bryce and Azeril love story switch or Nesta and Rhys to come into Midgard and save them versus just handing over the mask. Think the book would have been better if I read them back to back versus theorizing for a year ahead of time 😅
okay and also honestly Ithan's whole "I have to save everyone" personality started to bother me because he just messes up absolutely everything for everyone in the process.. like yeah its the thought that counts he cares but right he killed Sigrid, then she becomes a reaper, and its not even resolved at the end?? and Tharion + Ithan's crippling low self esteem throughout the entire book bothered me too like if you're so sad MAKE SOMETHING OF YOURSELF ALREADY. like why couldn't Ithan just acknowledge that literally everyone saw him as alpha but he was like no it has to be Sigrid like??? grow up be a man??? hello???
It didn’t feel like a 5 star to me either and I was really frustrated with characters. In my review for book 1 I said Bryce might be my favourite SJM heroine, and after book 3 she is bottom of the list! I hope she is in book 4 enough to redeem herself.
Am I the only one who found it weird that the only ACOTAR people that Bryce interacted with were Nesta and Azriel? Like what was Cassian doing, brushing his hair lol And also Feyre was only mentioned once, while Rhys was just in the background as a threat… it feels like so much wasted potential for the crossover to me
i feel like i’m in the minority that LOVE CC SERIES! more than acotar. n i loved acotar ofc. i think maybe cus im not a pure romance girlie but i like it as a sub plot! i also love the modern day & cursing and just the bff vibe and everything lol. ima read TOG in a few months but anyways love uuu!!
I think there was something about Ruhn and Rhys, Ruhn is a descendant from Helena and Rhys from Silene, so they are distant cousins🥰 Also Lidia reminds me so much of Aelin with the Firepowers, also her kid with wildfire... and called Brennan😮 And whats also crazy is that Urd comes from Wyrd, like omg
Have I read this series? Absolutely not. Am I still gonna watch my bestie read it? Yes
No, same. I don’t even read Fantasy. I just love Destiny. 😂
Same here! I have no interest in reading Crescent City or ACOTAR (maybe throne of glass); they're just not my thing, but I will support bestie in any way I can.😂
Same with me!
The full hour +. Lol. As if I am invested in these characters.
This is so mee
Brannon, who Lidia named her son after, was the first king of terrasen !!!
And I think Lidia is a descendant of Aelin!
Lol the beginning when you said it wasnt going to be a happy ending. It was SO HAPPY, TOO HAPPY. So easy, too easy. The ending had a little bow put on it lol
The way I laughed when you said “the river queens daughter is sobbing AGAIN” 😂
bro I literally feel you no matter what I was rooting for the ACOTAR characters the whole time I could never understand Bryce's actions or her attitude like those are my people Bryce was pissing me off 😭😭😭
No same. I was getting so annoyed with Bryce.
You really delivered with this, you’re hilarious. Also, Brennan was the ancestor that Aelin inherited her fire from. TOG CROSSOVER IN OUR FUTURE??
I love Bryce but was also annoyed with her especially the way she treated Hunt like why does she expect him to be ok with all her plans after all that he had to endure? I really liked their relationship in the first and second book but not in this one.. Lidia really saved this book for me! I want more Ruhn and Lidia😍
Bryce sucks in this book.
I felt the same!
‘Girl the call is coming from inside the house.’ Ive never heard a truer statement in my life!!
I felt so disconnected from the characters in this book, but that scene with Rhun, lidia, and Pollux had me SOBBING while Lidia saved her sons
I literally laughed at how goofy that was
idk I thought Bryce was justified with being wary of the ACOTAR characters cuz when she was asking what they would do about the horn they said theyd cut it out of her back if necessary
you sobbing the last 100 pages was so real 😭 exactly what i looked like LMAO. i’ve also heard rumors that the next CC may be like silver flames where we’re still in that world but maybe we follow ithan or tharion. i’m also SO curious how the next acotar is gonna be. i would love if we get elains story and then maybe an acotar wrap up with everyone’s POV? either way i will be eating up anything and everything this woman writes

Bonus chapters for this book?? I was only aware of the SF ones (unless that’s what you’re on about)
@@emmelinaa this book had like 5 different bonus chapters for every different type of retailer.
the "who's Colin?" is so real
44:44 “awwww he’s sobbing 🥰🥰🥰🥰 when he sobs when he sees you 😌😌” HAHAHHA
This book was incredible. No other books send me into every emotion like SJM. I feel like her books cant even be rated like other books because there is just so much MORE in them. 10 stars
The ACOTAR crossover was definitely a carrot! & I know it sounds wrong but somebody was supposed to die. Like Baxian or Tharion. SOMEBODY. It doesn’t seem complete without a death. 😩😂
RIGHT WHY DID THEY ALL SURVIVE
The fourth book is * House Of Many Waters*
The way I screamed when I got the notification!! I'm so excited for this video!!
44:07 SHE SLAYED!!!!! And totally reminded me of one Queen of a country that starts with a T!!!!!
I loved the info dumping and personally this was my favourite in the series!
“i just wasn’t fully in it” proceeds to cry for half the video 😂
JUST FINISHED LAST NIGHT, your timing was perfect for this hahaha 🥰
Was so excited to watch this! No other books make me quite as emotional in every sense of the word as SJM books do. I also sobbed my eyes out.

This has to be my favorite video of yours and I’m literally only halfway through. Please do more spoiler reading vlogs!!! ❤
I just finished this book yesterday and I’m loving everything you’re saying. 😂
Omg you just posted! And Haley just posted too!!!
My day is completely amazing now :3
I didn’t really cry reading the book, but I absolutely cried watching you cry reading it! Also, I 100% got pulled into reading the 2nd and 3rd books because I’d heard little comments about ACOTAR characters being mentioned
Not me crying with you watching this vlog and bringing up all the emotions again😭💛
I just had an absolute mental breakdown 😅 after I calmed myself down, I thought “an SJM book would calm me down”. So I immediately thought of your page and watching this video!!! Just here to let you know that we LOVE YA DES!! 🫶🏽💖✨ your videos bring us so much joy and are such a safe space. Thank you for creating happiness and realness in your vlogs 💕💕
'i am more confused than where i started' is literally so real😭 each book just keeps getting denser and denser lol
Waited till I finished the series to watch this ❤️
I’ve been waiting for this one😭😭💗💗 never even read any SJM but I love hearing you talk about anything
Glad to see I wasn’t the only one sobbing at these parts
LOL the emotional rollercoaster is so well represented here in this video.
I'm so late to this, but I've been watching your videos while I'm working and you're just the cutest!!! Omg your thoughts while reading this were so similar to mine and I just love it!!
Yeeeees!! Cannot wait to watch this entire film. I am ready. Thank you Destiny❤️🔥
Yesss!!! More Sarah J mass!!!
Finally finished the book and immediately came to watch this video. YOUR COMMENTARY HAS ME CRACKING UP! that’s exactly how I felt the ENTIRE book. 😂
finished the book and came straight here
Didn’t cry while reading but watching this made me cry haha😭 I loved this book actually. Lidia was my favourite character in the book and Hunt grew on me but agreed Bryce was annoying sometimes.
I feel like I’m reading this with my bestie. Thank you for this! 🫶🏼
I haven't read the series and I'm not even a fan of fantasy but I love listening to my girl talk about books! ☺
It makes me excited to finish the book 2 . I really loved your videos!!
Finished it yesterday, beyond excited for this vlog❤
bestie you delivered with this one
I am reading A court of silver flames right now and working my way thru the Throne of glass serie and my all time favorit in all of these books are Lehaba and the fire sprites❤️🔥❤️🧡💛❤️🔥
i do not want to read this book, but ur enthusiasm is making me want to😭😭 but thanks for the vlog des
not me crying with you during the last 100 pages even though I already read it
UGH I'LL HAVE TO COME BACK AFTER I FINISH IT 😭😭
FULL TRANSPARENCY! I am on a court of mist and fury and have 17 more books to go in this universe but idc I’ll forget by then this year is my Sarah J mass year 😂
This was such a great video! Thank you des!!! 🫶🏻💕
Starting a book at 1:30 am is chaotic energy to me and I love it 😂
I haven't read the series and dont plan on it but i still love watching your videos ❤
PLSS ur reactions are so real i feel like we are besties
I’m not finished but I’m listening to it on audiobook and I think it makes me enjoy it a lot more
I was so annoyed that the most impactful characters were literally dead. We literally got 10 pages of Connor and Danika in a 3000 pages series. WHY ARE THEY STILL HERE???
I could see crescent city going and following Lidia and her ties to Brannon (from throne of glass)
Book 4 is gonna be a spinoff, kind of like how Nesta got her own in ACOTAR. I bet it’s gonna be an Ithan/Tharion book. Ithan has the Sigrid thing, Tharion has Sathia and things HOMW. I also wouldn’t be surprised to get a hypaxia storyline
I had the same feelings!! Bryce definitely got on my nerves in this book and there was way too much info dumping that it felt like my brain was short-circuiting half the time but I LOVED Lidia in it! I'm very curious what the next book will be about (if there is one??)
I’m so glad I finished HOFAS yesterday so I can watch this start to finish
Amazing video. I love how you covered the whole book for us and let us know your thoughts on it❤. I think it will be at least 2 or 3 years until we get another Crescent city book and maybe 1 year or 2 until the next ACOTAR book comes out.
I genuinely don't know what I would do without bestie des 🫶
Finished yesterday and now can finally watch this eek!
Watching this when you haven’t even read book one is a vibe
Eeekk!! Your videos like this inspired me to do my own! I posted one today too! Watching your reactions is actually getting me through this Friday, love it so much!!!
Hewoooo Miss Destiny, you'll be my destiny for book vids
Been waiting for this one 🎉🎉🎉🎉
I cried so much during the book, I was like you sobbing and my chest was hurting so much. Thank you for editing this for us I know it was hard and you had to force yourself to do it. I love this I just finished the book and ran here to see your opinion. 😊 You don't have another chapter after the acknowledgments? 😮 I have the Behind the scenes of her parents when Bryce dropped them in Velarys.
Was i crying screaming throwing up at the end without even reading the book? Yes yes i did
I haven’t finished the book yet so I can’t watch the video. But I’m def gonna like and comment and add it to my watch later list bc of course it’s bestie Des ❤❤
“I need to read Cassian finding about guns” REAL
I laughed so much during this book, beside the sobbing parts ofcourse😅. "Two angels and a fae Prince walk into a dungeon"... 😂😂 loved the book
loved this video! did you read all the different bonus scenes?? i loved Ruhn and Lidias - you should do a video reacting to them all! x
1:11:38 this is hilarious and so real!!!!
Did anyone else catch that the Bone King said Urd was called Wyrd in his world? Connection to ToG, along with the shifters of Midgard being from ToG's world originally. I hope we get all three series crossing over in the next book!
I honestly think the parts in the ACOTAR world are all set up for the next book in that series. If she did to much it might have felt like fan service so I’m not mad about what she did especially if it’ll lead to more plot for ACOTAR books.
Watching this knowing I’ll never read the series, but I just wanna hear Destiny talk about it❤
I feel you! I wanted a shocking Bryce and Azeril love story switch or Nesta and Rhys to come into Midgard and save them versus just handing over the mask.
Think the book would have been better if I read them back to back versus theorizing for a year ahead of time 😅
Can we get “Rhun what the hell” on a shirt please and thank you 😂😂
Sadly cant watch it since I havent read the series yet but still impressive how much time you put into this video❤
don’t know if this makes sense but it’s so weird hearing my name 😭😭
okay and also honestly Ithan's whole "I have to save everyone" personality started to bother me because he just messes up absolutely everything for everyone in the process.. like yeah its the thought that counts he cares but right he killed Sigrid, then she becomes a reaper, and its not even resolved at the end?? and Tharion + Ithan's crippling low self esteem throughout the entire book bothered me too like if you're so sad MAKE SOMETHING OF YOURSELF ALREADY. like why couldn't Ithan just acknowledge that literally everyone saw him as alpha but he was like no it has to be Sigrid like??? grow up be a man??? hello???
I believe the reason they kept bring up how much Rhy and Arjun looked alike to put in in your head that.. THEY ARE RELATED. Through Theia
I had pretty much the same thoughts as you while reading it. 90% of the time I just wanted to know how Az was coping without TT.
It didn’t feel like a 5 star to me either and I was really frustrated with characters. In my review for book 1 I said Bryce might be my favourite SJM heroine, and after book 3 she is bottom of the list! I hope she is in book 4 enough to redeem herself.
OMG I said the same thing, and feel the same way now!
Am I the only one who found it weird that the only ACOTAR people that Bryce interacted with were Nesta and Azriel? Like what was Cassian doing, brushing his hair lol
And also Feyre was only mentioned once, while Rhys was just in the background as a threat… it feels like so much wasted potential for the crossover to me
OMG exactly this. I was soo disappointed.
i feel like i’m in the minority that LOVE CC SERIES! more than acotar. n i loved acotar ofc. i think maybe cus im not a pure romance girlie but i like it as a sub plot! i also love the modern day & cursing and just the bff vibe and everything lol. ima read TOG in a few months but anyways love uuu!!
Same! I love CC! 😅
The ugly crying is me the whole book too 😭😭
Good thing about my forgetful mom brain, I can watch this whole thing then read the book like I didn’t watch it. 😂
I just finished the other day!!!! it was a JOURNEY
lol Nesta probably had something Haunting Adeline like she was reading in that chair when it opened lol
I still haven’t read this trilogy yet…therefore I have zero clue as to what my bestie is even talking about however I’m still gonna watch this
Watching this even though I read the first book and only half of the second one lol.
3 minutes ago!! ilysm des 💗
Just finished this tonight! Ugh I’m so mad we didn’t see more of the acotar characters!!!!!! 🤦♀️
My weak wrists crying with these mammoth books like mam thats a weight lift 😭
I have never clicked so fast on a video in my life.
Girly!!! Where did you get your robe? I’m in love 😍
I cant watch it because i havent read the series yet but love you ❤❤❤
I think there was something about Ruhn and Rhys, Ruhn is a descendant from Helena and Rhys from Silene, so they are distant cousins🥰
Also Lidia reminds me so much of Aelin with the Firepowers, also her kid with wildfire... and called Brennan😮
And whats also crazy is that Urd comes from Wyrd, like omg
Currently reading, only watching until you start talking about it😂
