Persassy is BACK! | Chalice of the Gods Review 🗡️🏺
Welcome to another reading vlog! This time we’ll be reading Percy Jackson and the Chalice of the Gods by Rick Riordan, which has been on my list for a while (hence the 8 month gap in filming, I’m guilty of being a procrastinator😅). I really hope you enjoy the discussion however. Let me know your thoughts below.

I know I’m so late, but the unhaul is brutal!
Yet I still feel I can unhaul more 😅😅
I LOVED this book! I read it literally the day it came out haha! I’m currently reading the heroes of Olympus series! Also can’t wait for September 24th when book 7 comes out!!
House of Hades 🙌🙌🙌 and YES!!! Can’t wait for the next one, hopefully I don’t procrastinate reading that one for 8 months😅
I just finished reading it (I know I'm so late on the whole acotar hype, but I refused to read it for years, after people described it as spicy fantasy 😂 🤢...because girl is a traditional fantasy lover lol)....I actually got over the "spicy" parts and stopped cringing after a while, but I had to come onto the Internet and see if I'm the only one who's bothered with how Tamlin and Rhysand are being portrayed. I'm a military wife and the whole PTSD thing hits home quite a bit, and I feel the author has totally ignored Tam's suffering and his sacrifices. I understand the idea of two broken people not being able to fix each other, but I felt like the book really did him dirty. The way Tam handled the whole PTSD thing was obviously catastrophic, but once again, anyone who knows someone who struggled with these demons in real life will know that communication for those who suffer is not that easy. I actually don't have a huge issue with Rhy. Just another character that is trauma riddled. I just don't like how Tam is being portrayed, just in order to make Rhy look better or to make excuses for his odd behaviour....
Your quick synopsis of this is incredible! Love love ❤
🫶🫶
damn, I've been tempted by All for the Game for SO LONG but yikes 😂haha I loved Nick in Extraordinaries, but I definitely get him driving you crazy.
All for the game is definitely one of those that you’re either going to despise or fall for, but definitely check triggers coz a lot happens in those books 😬
You killed him! You monster!
I’m so sorryyyyy, I can never forgive myself 😭😭
Ack my face
Revenge 😂🫶
Thank god I saw this. Don’t want to waste my money
I think it's wild how the fandom and the author treat Rhys and Tam as if Feyre and Tamlin couldn't have worked if they'd just communicated?
“Hey can u help me beat an evil villain” “sure” 😂😂
I didn't love Dracula either, but apparently I didn't get it. 🙄 I prefer adaptations like Stanley Kubrick's film and Dracula 2000.
I have never agreed with someone so much
My thoughts exactly. What do you mean the girl just killed your mate and you’re like ‘k you can just move in with me’ ??? The whole plot seemed so unnatural
I know nothing about the trilogy nor have I read the books but I think it’s kinda interesting that maybe the only way the trisolarians were remembered is by the retelling of the civilization they planned to destroy
Damn that’s beautiful!
YOU SKIPPED REBECCA?!?! I READ THAT ALL IN ONE SITTING!!!

You been there 🫶🫶 … stalker?! Jkjk
Tossing books, literally throwing them, causing damage. Why would anybody want them in that condition? I don't treat my books that way, not even the ones that I decide to get rid of.
I’ve bought books in worse condition. Sorry you were distressed by how I treated my books, if it makes you feel better, non of them sustained any visible harm just emotional ❤️🩹
Enjoyed the review! My Girlfriend recommended me the book and I enjoy a good fantasy romance type book from time to time so I figured I would read it and its a good thing I listened to a audio version of it because I probably wouldnt have finished it otherwise lol I thought the writing was just poor and the majority of things just didnt make sense.
congratulations on graduating, really enjoyed seeing all the books you read. i read a couple some good, some bad do wish i had done english lit but I didn't read when i was choosing so anyways...
Thank you! ☺️ and ahh not that’s annoying but hey at least you can enjoy books now without over analysing everything 😅
I tried. Read the first one. Trash
MC name is Feyre? Hard no. What’s up with the ridiculous names????
Fantasy for ya 😂
As if I would leave before the end, Sam.

Uuuuuugh caraval. I hated that book so much. Why were there like 100 pages dedicated to a sentient dress?
😭😭☠️😭☠️😭
Oh I get the sentimentality of book souvenirs. I have a book I purchased when I was 15 at Auschwitz of all places that will probably never get unhauled

really enjoyed this, you did a great unhau with 80!! i love that david bust and your little nick-nacks. i've been meaning to unhaul if this gets out too but it was the first book i ordered (i think) and feel bad getting rid of queer books. DNFing on earth we're briefly gorgeous because of the writing!!! i literally gasped audibly... i mean you do you but wow. i will check out things we lost to the water as i want more of these stories as i LOVED the other, joint fave of the year for me.i bought mister magic on your haul/rec of it, hopefully i enjoy
It’s definitely hard to unhaul books with sentiment 😭 But you just have to be thankful for the time u had with them and let someone else have that experience now- that’s what I tell myself- because your not getting rid of them ur passing them on. I’m taking a lot of my queer ones to my library too so I know they’ll go into the community. Lmao u made me laugh with that ON Earth comment 😂 IM SORRY!! Mister Magic was definitely good! Loved the dark nature of it.
Yes. Catch up on your scifi reviews haha

You believe that's try reading buttons and lace
Oh 👀
Im sorta relieved Im not the only one. I want to preface that it is amazing that authors of every literary background can publish and make a living off it and even more fantastic they have the fanbase for it. But this book isnt a literary work of art as many others and advertisements make it out to be. Not say every book we read had to be this genuis work, but the hype for this book and under fantasy genre, people were giving me the impression this was up there with Tolkien and Martin. I really tried to like it but when I realized it wasnt going to get better I felt scammed hahaha. But in all good intention I'm glad its pulling people to read!
Very true! It pains me that, due to its popularity, this will be remembered alongside Tolkien, where as other more deserving titles such as Samantha Shannon’s Priory of the orange tree, which are miles better (in terms of being a complex and well crafted fantasy novels).
@@LoveSam- I agree with this wholeheartedly. I preferred the nameless one wyrm a million times over that literal worm in acotar 🤣 I also have to say something that really struck me was the lack of emotional development for Feyre. I eventually did read about 10 chapters of the next book mist and fury when I was trying so hard to like it. The way the author chose to show how guilty Feyre felt about all the deaths a WHOLE book after is bizarre. It was still scarce but imo mentioned more in the second book than when she was forced to face them. It's like she was attempting to show Feyre's ability to reflect but it failed miserably especially when she spent more time with the steamy bits and the descriptions of the city.
Thank you for your video, good to see I`m not the only one. I just don`t get the hype with this book, I`ve never read a SJM book before. Picked it up after hearing about it so much on social media, and it was meant to be soooo good. Upon starting reading it, i felt the writing is bad. Straight away i felt Cinderella vibes with the presentation of MC. As MC commits a crime she get sent of to "get the punishment", the "Beauty and the Beast" vibes came in strong. I even thought at some point; "when is he gonna introduce her to the library?" and lo and behold, just a few pages later that happens. Nothing is original in this book, it`s done before. There is also so many "why`s". A never ending list of why. Like the why`s of Twilight; why does a 100 year old vampire falls in love with a teenager, why would a 500 year old fay fall in love with a teenage girl? All characters are so boring and colorless, most of all the MC. She honestly has nothing special to her. She uses a weapon that basically is fay kryptonite and nothing else. Throughout the book it`s difficult to see if MC has anything to her at all. I honestly struggle to see why the characters are attracted to one another. There is no attraction. So when MC goes to save "the man she loves", I just keep wondering when that happened and what pages I obviously didn`t read. I often find that SJM avoids going into detail, like when she write about MC blackout when she drinks. And that this continues at the very end of the book. In my opinion, this is very lazy writing and you are suppose to just accept that "things happened, okay?". Well, this is hours of my life I won`t get back.
Wow thank you for taking the time to write all this! And I totally agree, the love felt so forced, one minute he’s threatening death and the next he’s madly in love?? And that’s just Tamlin. Not that Rhysand differs much from that description.
@@LoveSam- Strangely we are suppose to swoon over toxic guys... I don't buy it 😂
A trend that I hope the book community grows out of soon!
They basically published an average boring on boring fanfic book.
Not "dumb, dull, and delusional"! 😅😅
I liked the first chapter because it immediately caused the conflict to later occur in the book. However, I couldn’t read past chapter 21. Honestly disgusting for me and I couldn’t even pass the fact that Rhysand drugged her and forced her to do stuff, and the fact that Tamlin just sat there like a dog, while she basically sold her life within those three months for their entertainment.
