Finally Reading Graceling + Finding Great Book Banter | Book Review
มุมมอง 230ปีที่แล้ว
I am extremely late to the game but alas - I finally read Graceling! This book came out over a decade ago but I finally read it in June and ended up really enjoying it. It had a pretty rough beginning, but then quickly turned into a great read about a young girl who experiences major personal and emotional development while saving her kingdom. What's not to love?? BTW - I recently revamped and ...

I’m glad you’re still reading them. Book 4 is my favorite in the series. It breaks a lot of patterns in the first 3 books.
I trashed this book on good reads 😅
Loved the book and also had some of the same criticisms when it came to expanding on the final changes we see in Katsa and Po in the end of Graceling. Then I sat with those feelings a while, without the closure I had anticipated after the plotline climax. And you know something? I wound up loving the detached nature of things left unanswered to us, because it mirrored their mutual desire to meet the unknown world head-on.
@@erikarosell I love that perspective!
I too want to read the divergent series. I think I have nearly all the books. But as far as a 5 star read I just finished 1984 by Orwell. It was great. Also check out the Rose Code by Kate Quinn maybe that will get ya out of the "mid" slump category. 😊🥰 Both of those were 5 stars for me ⭐ 🌟 ✨
you can start watching the movies as you finish the books! Since you’ve already finished the first 3 books, you can watch the first 3 movies. you won’t get anything spoiled
I've bounced off Sanderson several times. I just can't seem to connect with the characters. I feel like I'm missing out, but I just can't get into his stories.
Start with 1!
Absolutely! I’m reading them all in order. I have a playlist of videos for the first three reading vlogs so far 🙌
@@gabriellelue ill give em a watch!
Never read Harry Potter before. Now I will !
Oh. I like to remind people to keep in mind how old Harry is in each book and try to remember how kids act and think. Don't expect some of his reasoning or decisions to seem logical to an adult. Harry is a kid with an issue with trusting authority figures or adults in general because of the Dursleys..and Snape's bullying him doesn't help with that issue either.
Keep in mind that everything you're reading is from Harry's perspective so of course Draco and Snape are going to seem over the top. Hermione is an overachiever. Believe me, as one myself I would have been tempted to do the same thing she did. We always crave more knowledge and we're always harder on ourselves than anyone else ever could be. As to the movies..a lot is left out from the books and some of the changes on characters' personalities and deeds leave..a little to be desired. 1-3 are fairly excellent adaptations although I didn't care for some of the changes and info left out in this particular adaptation. You usually only find out some things in the movies later then we found them out in the books. They don't usually bring things forward. You should be safe watching each movie after each book..well once you catch up that is. 😂 From 4 on there are a *lot* of changes. I love the movies as a separate thing from the books because some from here on out are really bad adaptations even if they're great movies on their own.
You’re right - I definitely kept viewing things as though from the narrators perspective rather than Harry’s. I also do think that how the books convey the story is good for a younger audience 😆 and thank you for clarification on the movies! I’m excited to get into watching those
28 year old first time potter reader here. Dyslexic reader too. And I’ve loved the books. I started the series in February and I’m already over half way through the order of the Phoenix. It’s one of the greatest stories ever told.
I love that!! I’ve definitely enjoyed it thus far as well. I still have to read book 3 and am planning to do that soon 😀 do you usually read a lot of fantasy books?
I would rewrite it😊
I’m debating leaving. It’s just so corrupt here. Very unGodly place.
NYC sucks
Meghan Markle look alike
Not really
I've recently rewatched the film series and was watching some TH-cam interviews with Jo Rowling when TH-cam suggested your video. I'll never get used to Americans calling it Sorcerers Stone 😂 Philosopher's Stone, as it's known outside America I read in 2001/2002 when I was 11 years old. Somehow (I was not academic at school) I won some award at the end of year school presentation in which the prize was a book voucher, so we went to the book store and I can't actually remember why but that was one of the books I bought with the voucher. I only read the one book and I only read it once - fast forward maybe 8-10 years, a new friend I'd made was raving about how good the books were, so I decided to buy the series on iBooks and read them from start to finish in my morning tea and lunch breaks at work. So I must have been 18-20 when I started reading them properly, not much earlier than you, so I was a late comer to the books too. I agree with most of your thoughts in this video, by now you've probably read the series, but I don't want to spoil the series if you haven't but a lot of your questions toward the end of the video are answered in the last three books.
Harry is usually the one finding them because he is following the voice in the walls not by random accident
I guess I must have missed that connection for some reason 😆
@@gabriellelueread better next time then. They say it a few times in the book that the basilisk using thr pipes in the wall and harry can hear it and he follows it. That is why he finds these attacks
@@SimbaEdits77 what I meant by “missing the connection” was that I guess I didn’t make the connection that by him following the voices that’s what led him to the accident and that the voice he was following was causing the accident. I obviously read that he was following the voices and separately read that he found the accidents. What I didn’t connect in the video was that the voice was committing the crimes. Hope you have a great day
@@gabriellelue its quite obvious but alright. People are just hating on this book for no reason
@@SimbaEdits77 I definitely still enjoyed the book. Just wasn’t my fave of the series so far. I agree though, I think I was a little oblivious when reading and missed it 😆
Do you plan on reading all of them??
I do - at some point! Do you enjoy the current format or have suggestions on how I should do the next one?
@@gabriellelue this was nice the way you did it!!
Loved this
Thank you!
I went down the Ice Planet rabbit hole last year, and I loved it! Lol!
My first video of your and I can believe how beautiful you are ❤❤❤
You're too kind, thank you ❤ I hope you enjoyed the video and stick around
I definitely love your video. I grew up watching Harry Potter movies and I started to read these books when I was a teenager. The way you talk makes me feel calm and relaxed to enjoy the video. I learn English right now, so fast English is difficult to understand. ☺️❤️
I'm so glad you enjoyed the video! I'm happy to help and your comment is a good reminder for me to always speak clearly in my videos haha
Rebecca yarros is a racist author. Very disappointed to see you promoting her work. Never thought you would support her. Unfortunately i have to unfollow. Can't keep following someone supporting racist authors
Have you read: Mercy Thompson series by Patricia Briggs or Darynda Jones the Charley Davidson series?
I haven’t! What are they about 👀
Oh hey, this is fun! Patricia is my sil's aunt. Haha
I also feel like i am more critical than others and i also love to read fantasy/ romantasy
I love that. Welcome fellow critical reviewer haha 🩵
Hey, great timing! I'm writing a fairy tale noir and I could use some good fantasy books for inspiration!
The book was great
The books were ten seconds of plot thirty minutes of sex I forced myself to finish the series but it was hard
You’re not wrong about that haha
@@gabriellelue I just finished the last book yesterday and I really feel like the plot had serious potential but wasted on over sexing Winnie
@@user-gk6go5wb4f I agree! Especially as the last book, I thought that one fell so flat on what it could’ve been. And by the end of it Peter was like an entirely different person than how he was originally portrayed, and I think the series was worse off for it
@@gabriellelue Yes exactly poof they just killed the protagonist without any challenge but spent almost a whole chapter describing the four of them and Winnie
Don’t worry the next ones are great I think you are going to love them ! ;))
One of my fav ya books. Katsa and Po are in Bitterblue but they're not the main focus.
Are you ever going to continue reading this series? I think that you will find that the future books keep getting better and better. PLEASE read and review the future books, especially the next one “The Prisoner Of Azkaban”(though I would personally read them all). I’ll be very 😢if you decide not to. 😭
Thanks for letting me know you enjoy the series! ❤️ I do plan to continue it in upcoming months. To be transparent I’ve had an extremely busy work schedule with my full time job so I haven’t had the mental capacity to make TH-cam videos but I anticipate I’ll be able to start again next month 😆
@@gabriellelue Thanks for responding. I didn’t realize that you had stopped making videos. I can understand that life can get very busy. Take your time and when you decide to continue, I hope you will do so with this series.
@@MsAppassionata it’s only been about a month break but yes definitely looking forward to continuing 🤍
i was going to say this, but hopefully soon they'll be back to it again!! last i saw, she is reading the red rising series!
@@gabriellelueI really hope that you will continue this journey! I am so sad that you seem to have dropped it just before it gets deeper, darker and more adult 😢
I loved it
Promo'SM
I was so ready to binge all your Harry Potter videos… 😢
Next video in the series is live! th-cam.com/video/MKH_cIOm94M/w-d-xo.htmlsi=JDVclU3jJYuGPwtc
Graceling is one of my favorite YA fantasy books!!! I read it a longgg time ago, (like 10 years ago!) but I loved it at the time. So glad you liked it. Defffinitely gets better as it goes on. And Po is top tier as fictional dudes go (and what happens at the end with him 😫). If you liked it, you should read Bitterblue. I did not love Fire, but Bitterblue is wonderful.
Okay and also Katsa and Po are in Bitterblue, but it’s set 10 years later. It’s Bitterblue’s story , but they’re definitely in it, and it helps answer some questions that are left at the end of Graceling.
I haven’t read anything by Emily Henry yet but I’ve heard really good things about People We Meet on Vacation. This also sounds like it could be a fun read!!!
Yes I’ve also heard such good things so I had to check it out. I hope you enjoy it whenever you get to it 😄
I’m with you there! Sometimes it feels like everything has to be PERFECT before we hit record. LOL Deters us from filming! And yes we should be rereading our faves like we used to as kids! 😊
I’m 24 and I just started reading HP for the first time as well! I’m currently halfway on book 2. Have you seen the movies before?
ahhh i love that! I hope you're enjoying them :) I think I watched the movies around 2015 or so, but to be honest I don't remember much of what happened as I wasn't fully devoted to it at the time. I think I might rewatch them this fall
@@gabriellelue that’s awesome! You get to experience the book’s magic first!
Honestly, to me it was more like Hunger games meets bachelor meets Throne of glass. (Throne of glass is where she got the plot of the whole book)
I can definitely see the inspiration from TOG (i.e. girl with mysterious background living in a castle, a guard and a prince/king who she flirts with, solving mysteries to why she's there, etc) though I wouldn't say Trial of the Sun Queen hit the emotional impact that TOG did quite as well, unfortunately
I started this series this year too!! Currently I’m on book 5 and I’m loving everything ab this series, sm better than the movies.
so glad you've been enjoying them! I've kind of been on an extended break from reading them as I've been reading more Adult and NA books. I need to pick it back up though
i didn't know this book was so popular, tournament is a buzzword for me in books so i'm pretty interested in this one
It’s definitely having a few moments of fame on social media right now! I’m the same I love a good tournament/competition in books 🤭
Which book is the 3rd one from?
It’s from a new novella by J Bree called The Scepter!
Love the content!
Thank you!
