I feel that. The one time I read in the car, the second we arrived at our destination and I put the book down. I threw up immediately. 10/10 would not recommend.
@@colby.lifts08 it’s like more of your focusing on one thing, like your screen or a book, but everything is moving around you that makes some people feel dizzy. But it doesn’t happen to everyone
Interesting! Plot-wise, I have to say I preferred Cruel Prince purely because I had no interest in the underwater aspect of Wicked King, and Queen of Nothing was so short, I just couldn’t vibe with it as much. However, character-wise, I loved the later books, too. Seeing their development was so interesting :)
I just finished Crooked Kingdom yesterday, and I’m at the very beginning of the video, so when I saw this comment, I grinned like an idiot! I fell into the fandom HARD in 12 hours...
Wait... was this supposed to be a reference to Kaz or am I just over-thinking it? Becuase there is a part in Six of Crows that Nina says "Are you smiling" to Kaz and he says "Don't be ridiculous", and then the text went on to say "But there was no mistaking it. Kaz Brekker was ginning like and idiot." So....
I think i'm the only one left in this world who truly enjoys Red Queen. It made me laugh and cry and i think about it on daily basis. I loved absolutely everything about that book. ❤️
Red Queen is actually good. I mean, there were some things that I didn’t like, but all in all, it’s actually quite amazing. It’s just that I hated Mare sometimes because she was so insufferable and filled with self-importance (aka, the second book), but she actually became a decent character at the end of the third book.
I *almost* gave up on cruel prince halfway through. I just didn't understand the hype. BUT I made myself finish it and I'm so glad I did! The series as a whole is great but the cruel prince its self was meh for most of it.
I have just finished it. It is so good. I can understand the confusion that someone can have because there are a lot of dynamics, but by studying this myths at school it was just perfect (here in Italy it's normal to study ancient greek literature). The writing was fantastic.
ToG was the series that actually got me back into reading again 😂 I literally couldn’t put it down my coworker got mad I passed her in the series and finished before her. I cried so much in all the books especially the last one.
My discovery of booktok is the reason my library exploded this year!! I love that literature is being promoted on social media ♥️ Definitely something I can get behind!
I personally really enjoyed the cruel Prince series. It’s very much an enemies to lovers kinda thing. Some people just really don’t like/can get behind Jude which I get cause she does make some questionable choices but I loved the ending.
I LOVED the cruel prince! I think a lot of people go in thinking its a romance and then get disappointed when its actually mostly about jude with a side of romance. Out of the series Wicked King is my favorite
Sarah J Maas' books especially ACOTAR are quite problematic and they're recommended to the wrong age group so I really can't stand behind them, but I think you can understand a book's issues and still love the book so I understand the hype, I just personally read them when I was far too young and lived to regret it lol
If you want to try a fantasy series that is for a slightly older audience, I recommend the Discworld books by Terry Pratchett; I think they're not too mature to be classed as adult books, more of young adult area, mainly because they focus more on the plot and humour The ones that features Tiffany Aching are actually for younger readers, akin to books like Percy Jackson, but they are not isoloated from the rest of the books, maybe as a way to introduce teenagers to his works Haven't read most of his other books, so procede with caution if you are curious Sorry for the long reply 😅
@@hediyeh7853 i'd recommend it to someone older than 17 tbh. But, considering how forward young teens are. i'd say go for it. But, don't expect much, i didn't like it. It was quite problematic, i'd say check out review videos by cindy. She explains the issues well. Goodluck
I've been loving your videos recently soo much, I mean I've always loved your vids but I can see you're having way more fun now and it makes me so happy!! Keep it up Hailey, so glad you decided to play around with different ideas! ❤ Your kind of 'lifestyle' videos are already amazing and so much fun to watch 😍
I actually just did a reading vlog where I read popular booktok recommendations to see if they were worth the hype!! I find it so funny booktok recommendations are typically popular booktube recommendations from a few years ago 🤧 I love this video so much, I actually have a lot of similar opinions on these books. They're popular for a reason but some of them might be a littleee bit over hyped. And I'm SO happy you liked Legendborn, it's one of my favorites of 2020!! 🥰
I loved The Cruel Prince trilogy, but Sarah j Mass's writing feels like fanfiction. I cannot believe that I got so popular in place of actually good books with good world building, complex characters, and actual plots. ACOTAR was literally just whish fulfillment and her so called "found family" felt like a boyband fanfiction where Rhysand was Harry Styles.
I found The Song of Achilles from BookTube. I'm currently reading it, it's really well written and I love how she's put the story together. I think you'd really like it!
I have so many books to read and literally no time as my exams are from next week and then I have lot of assignments and things to do ...and in this hard time only ur videos give me relief ❤️❤️ Luv u Hailey🥰
Ok! Six of Crows is now on my want to read list! Your enthusiasm is infectious! I also love The Selection series and read it in the same time frame! A few days 😍
I got my entire reading list (60 books) from it. I ignored all of the common ones (Six of Crows, Shadow & Bone etc as I'll get to them eventually in my own time). Also tried to vary the genre, culture and content. Best decision ever. 6 books in and I love the ones I've gone through so far.
Please read six of crows even if you don't read Shadow and bone .....u won't regret it...it's the best...six of crows deserve to be read by everyone 😭 I didn't really like shadow and bone much but six of crows is just amazinggggggggg
I completely agree with you, especially about the cruel prince! Personally I found myself enjoying books 2 and 3 a lot more than the first one so I would be curious as to whether you will read the rest of the books and what you think of them!
I like the way you edit your videos now, like a lot of people here. It really adds something new and refreshing to your video’s. Keep up your good work girl, you deserve all the hype and support too! 💕
READ CRESCENT CITY. It is the ultimate slow burn with the romance but the angst is sooo good. The story is a tad slow with all the details, but it all pays off! The last 30% of the book is SO worth it.
I read a gentleman guide to vice and virtue recently, and I loved it so much, and it I think it deserves so much more love, cause I've never heard anybody mention it.
I’d love to see more versions of this video! Ones that are hyped up that you haven’t read and plan to read, or ones that you don’t plan to read would be fun!
Ahh I loved this video! I agree with you on Sarah J. Maas Books! I really, really like them but sometimes it's a bit overwhelming because they are everywhere. So far I've read the first 3 books of Throne Of Glass and Crescent City House of Earth and Blood and I enjoyed it so much. I plan on reading A Court of Thorns and Roses soon. I also loved how respectful you were to the books you didn't like! Some people get really mean and love how you put it!
The cruel prince was the best fantasy book’s I’ve ever read. Holly black was inspired by Brian Ford, the artist who paints fairies, he was was inspired by the landscape of Dartmoor, which is where he currently lives I think. It’s great because I live on the outskirts of those moors so I’ve always felt a special connection to black, especially since I grew up with my nan telling me fairytales about the moor. This book is without a doubt everything I always expected to read from faefantasy books but never got when I first started reading the genre. Probs one of my fav books in general.
It’s so intimidating to start a new huge series!! Like that’s so much commitment so I just put it off and still haven’t read any Sarah J Mass or Cassandra Clare but I really want to!
In tfota series I read the first book and was like okay... Alright... But then I read the second book "The wicked King" and LOVED IT!!!! And now it's like one of my fav series!!
I think that a lot of these books that I have read - especially The Cruel Prince, Red Queen, and Serpent & Dove - were books that I really did enjoy and found good but just had way too much hype. It's like, I liked them but not THAT much
Not me getting distracting when she is talking about Sarah j mass and just staring at throne of glass slowly slip out of its cover 😂 I’m entertained so easily 😂😭
i'm currently on book 3 of throne of glass and HOLY SHIT it's so good!! i think you have to get past the first book!! yes the first book is really good, but with each one the story gets better and better and AHHHH I'm so obsessed it's bad
ACOTAR was an absolutely amazing series while I was reading it. Interestingly enough though, I don’t remember any of the characters specifically so when people talk about them, I can’t picture them.
i love this because i’ve been watching you since like 2015 and i’ve also been seeing tiktok recs for a few months now so i know this video is gonna be good
“I was reading it in the car” *cries in motion sickness*
I feel that. The one time I read in the car, the second we arrived at our destination and I put the book down. I threw up immediately. 10/10 would not recommend.
