Sarah, thank you for putting this together. I've read the first 5 books (including assassin's blade) but then life happened and even though I have the books, I hadn't found time to read them. This recap really helped me refresh my memory, thank you for doing it. You did a really good job.
let me know if you have any suggestions!! i'm considering blood and ash (i'm not really enjoying the books but i don't hate them, but my bestie loves them and it would help me read them lmao)
Reading the book now and watching the video as I move along. Love it and it’s a good understanding complement. Will watch the other ones for her next books. Thank you!
I just finished the book. Then I came here and listened to your recap because it's so fun but also I get a refresh on the parts of the book that i didn't quite get when i was listening to it first time. ❤❤❤ thank you! it makes me like the series so much more to hear your version too.
I've been struggling to get through book 3. It's so much heavier and more depressing than I thought it would be, and I wasnt prepared for that, coming from ACOTAR. I'm here to have it all spoiled because I just don't know if I can make it through. Thanks for doing these videos. I haven't decided yet if I want to pick the books back up, but really, Manon's seems to be the most interesting storyline so far
I just recently finished the whole series (now starting ACOTAR) and I'm not quite ready to let go of the series so I'm really enjoying these recap videos!! I'm reliving it. Thank you for doing these! 💕
Best thing to wake up toooooo! Now I really have to hustle to finish the tandem read 🤪 This book was my favorite so far. Arobynn makes me sick and he got what he got. Aelin is such a badass and I love her sm 🫶🏻 My heart was breaking for Dorian this entire book omg Ress and brullo made me cry like a baby oh my god.
@@fantasyfixations YAY! I had read through Queen of shadows then took a break and read all of acotar so I’ve been watching these recaps so i can dive into the tandem read ready! You picked up on SO much stuff that I missed! And you’re a great storyteller!!
i love her too!! it's crazy how i went from hating her SO much to loving her but her evolution is incredible 👑 dude i didn't even touch on this in my recaps but i actually thought the same thing when i first started the books. the way he interacts with her room and her clothes really freaked me out and i thought he was in love with her lmao my bff read them with me and she thought i was crazy but im glad you saw it too!! once they were actually together in person i didn't feel that way anymore but yeah i was nervous for a minute 😂😂
@@fantasyfixations I definitely got squicked out and bristled when he got near Lysandra. I'm watching your tandem vids now and excited for one of my favorite scenes in any Maas book (featuring Lysandra of course)
omg is it the one where she tells him to get out ??? i absolutely love the way she makes him work for her forgiveness and fully tells him how badly he hurt her and how he made her feel 🙌🏼 queen behavior
@@fantasyfixations She's put up with enough! I don't recall that and I wish I did. I meant the scene with the sea dragon. That sequence is so long, but it's awesome how the tension keeps shifting across characters and ramping up for everyone
omg YES !!! i do love the way it jumps from each member of the team helping her its so well written and keeps you on the edge of your seat until that last moment. her TOG fights are just top tier!!

you're so welcome!! i'm so glad these videos are helping this story be more accessible to more readers, they are so special to me!!
I still haven’t stopped crying at the Lysandra part. It gets me every time I think about it.
omg i knowwwwww
Honestly I feel like while chaol was a jerk in this book, aelynn also was really rude to him and I feel like they both just didn't communicate well
Great recap , I enjoyed it!
Thank you for being so concise and straight to the point I can now move on to the next book with a good refresher in mind… appreciate you!
you're so welcome!! making these has been such a highlight and I'm glad people are enjoying them :) I'm excited to try out another series next!
AHHHHHHHHH SO EXCITED TO WATCH! Had a TERRIBLE day at work but this video will get me back right!!!!!!
Dorian girlies rise! 🙌🙌🙌
he's number 1 !!!! ✨🫡
Those recap are amazing! And the fact that you used Geralt for Rowan make it super difficult to be objective about him 😏
Rewatching all these recaps after finishing the series is everything thank you for your service girl🫡
Was so looking forward to this! Would love to watch you do another series after this. Great job.
let me know if you have any suggestions!! i'm considering blood and ash (i'm not really enjoying the books but i don't hate them, but my bestie loves them and it would help me read them lmao)
Thank you SO much for these breakdown videos! I have enjoyed every minute of them!! ❤
