I'm not sure if you put books from your tbr onto your main shelves when you're done but I think it would be really satisfying to watch you find a place for them on your shelves when you're done esp when you can move a whole series :)
I loved Divine Rivals and was a bit disappointed in ruthless vows because there wasn’t as much romance. I still really enjoyed it though. I love Rebecca Ross and her beautiful writing.
Ruthless Vows was a 5 star for me, but I can also totally understand the low reviews. I completely agree with you that’s it’s different based on what you’re expecting and looking for from the books and reading is so personal. I don’t get mad when people rate a book that I love low because that’s the fun of reading…hearing everyone’s perspective!
if you loved the poetic love story in divine rivals, you would love The Unmaking of June Farrow. That book lives rent free in my head. there's not a day that goes by im not recommending it to someone. (Its also way faster paced than divine rivals) You will not be sorry, June Farrow changed my life for real
I think I'm one of the few people who thought Ruthless vows was better than Divine Rivals. I loved how we got more of the fantasy, and just everything with the war was so interesting. It was my first five star read of the year, which I hadn't had a five star read since I think last September
Ruthless vows was such a drag for me. It took me so long to finish the book, which is crazy cause I read the first book in a day. I truly think that this serie could have been a stand alone.
Imma be real. I don’t read romance books. So Ruthless Vows… you honestly sold that for me. I don’t really care too much for fantasy when it focuses more on the romance. So honestly the second book sounds right up my alley lol.
girlie I just finished A Court of Mist and Fury yesterday and I was influenced to read this series because of you. why would you do this to my heart ????
How so? No specific spoilers please! But I hate being in book slumps and I have these on my TBR.. Is it just heartbreaking in terms of a romance, do a lot of characters die, etc?
Your reaction to bloodmarked it so relatable. I LOVE that book so so much purely for how the love triangle & sel’s storyline made me feel. If you want to feel something similar but complete though, you have to read the Infernal Devices trilogy by Cassandra Clare! You won’t regret it ❤
Ruthless Vows was a 2 for me as well... And I love how we all have such different reading tastes just like you pointed out. This video definitely inspires me to finish off some of my own series!
I feel like for Bloodmarked the two main enemies were the Order. Then her personal battle was the demon who had “bloodmarked” her maternal line. Also the ending, I had no words… Loved the video!
I literally LOVE Carissa Broadbent--she's an autobuy author for me for sure. I have no idea why I don't see more about her stuff, she has had no misses for me so far!
I love the Daughter of No Worlds trilogy, definitely feel like it doesn’t get the love it deserves in the book community. So glad you enjoyed the last book ❤️
Yesss. Divine rivals really disappointed me. I still haven’t finished it cause I DONT CARE ABOUT THE WAR. I just needed scenes between iris and Roman. I feel robbed.
I'm proud of you for attacking the physical TBR. You may have already made a video like this, but I would love to see a video where you pick your least rated book from your physical tbr and the highest rated book from your physical tbr. Someone else said read til you find a 5 star, but make it so it has to be from your physical tbr.
I'm late watching this video (sorry), but you weren't alone with Ruthless Vows. I DNF'd after Divine Rivals was a 5 ⭐ book for me. Your feelings are so valid.
Our opinions on Ruthless Vows is so different! To me it was suchhh a perfect follow up from DR. I gave both books 5 stars. I loved that we got more elements of the world/story and I really loved watching to see whether or not Roman and Iris would be able to get to each other in the end, because everyone who got it early said it was a sad ending so I thought he was gonna die but it was a happy ending? I found both books so fast paced so its interesting hearing differing thoughts on it! No judgement though, we all have different opinions, just surprised me!
DES PLEASE PLEASE READ THE INFERNAL DEVICES BY CASSANDRA CLARE i know you should technically read city of ashes and glass before but i think you should just start TID. ITS JUST SO GOOD and nobody talks about it and i need you to hype it up because it’s my favorite trilogy of all time! the characters, the dialogue, the romances it’s just everythingggg
Ooh that would bother me too if you’re only getting crumbs of the romance 😢 I wish authors would focus more on the romance in general so it’s good for me to know that Divine Rivals focuses on it a lot. I’m reading Serpent & The Wings of Night right now and I’m loving the romance element and how it sometimes has really poetic lines ❤
I was so excited about ruthless vows but it was dragging, I also couldnt finish it and it took ages. I gave this one likd 2.75 (3 for me is neutral rating, no thoughts no feelings, but unfortunately it fell for me on the more negative side)
I am so scared to read ruthless vows because I needed so much days to read divine rivals and I really liked the romance and the letters in the first book but not really all the stuff with the gods because it confused me😅
I have glasses from Pair Eyewear and the only thing I dislike about them are the sunglasses. In certain light they will reflect from the front and the back so I can see my eyes and part of the background behind me reflected in the glasses making it hard to see. That’s the only thing that drives me insane. Otherwise the top frames are really cute and I love my pink base frames.
omg!! 😱 😅🤦🏼♀️thats so funny cause right now i’m currently reading something that is way too character heavy but I wanted more of the plot like way more.
Have you ever read "House of night" series by P.C. Cast? It is ya, it was my favorite when i was younger but i just stumbled upon it again and i can't wait to reread it! I'm 35 now, but still excited for it 😁😁 vampires, dark academia, powers, romance... it has it all, HIGHLY recommend!!
I was trying to buddy read Ruthless Vows and both me and my friend were STRUGGLING to get through it…. I had to switch to audiobook and my friend DNFd 😂
This vid was sm fun and inspired me to get to the series I haven’t finished❤ sorry ruthless vows was dissapointing, I’m cr it and I feel the same as you:/
Well i gave divine rivers 1 star ⭐️ and ruthless vows 1star ⭐️stand by my choice we all allowed to rate books what we want its our own opinion. So don’t be mean to Des or anyone on their rating even i dont care if someone gives my favourite 6star books a 1star coz that’s theirs opinion can we waste our time on real problems please & thank you

Love that you're reading from your physical tbr! you should do another "this video ends when i find a 5 star" using your physical tbr
I would love to see this!
i agree
Oooo
I would love to see that too!
Me too
You need to do a vlog of reading books that you have been putting off or have been in your TBR the longest.
POV: you are watching Destiny reading books to avoid reading your own books.
this notification came at the perfect time i’m fasting for ramadan and i have one hour left i REALLY needed a distraction
im fasting too and 1hr left for iftaar!!!!!!
I'm fasting also! Doing the exact same thing!
Me too! Ramadhan kareem guys!!
Me too ❤❤
Quick genuine question: Why do Muslims fast? I've heard it's a way of feeling closer to God? If that's true how does it?
You ,Haley Pham and Sara made me start reading books again, thank you ❤️🔥💜 all of your videos are just amazing
same
You should make this a series until you read all the series from your physical tbr!
I'm not sure if you put books from your tbr onto your main shelves when you're done but I think it would be really satisfying to watch you find a place for them on your shelves when you're done esp when you can move a whole series :)
that’s what i do with my books! i do it at the end of every month and it’s so satisfying to find a new home for them.
yes!!
omg so true i'd love to watch this
I loved Divine Rivals and was a bit disappointed in ruthless vows because there wasn’t as much romance. I still really enjoyed it though. I love Rebecca Ross and her beautiful writing.
Ruthless Vows was a 5 star for me, but I can also totally understand the low reviews.

ikkk!! I loved it ❤
if you loved the poetic love story in divine rivals, you would love The Unmaking of June Farrow. That book lives rent free in my head. there's not a day that goes by im not recommending it to someone. (Its also way faster paced than divine rivals) You will not be sorry, June Farrow changed my life for real
i second this!! i adored this book 🥹
the way this video gave me sm motivation to read- JUST what i needed
I love the striped sweatshirt. I'd wear it in a heartbeat - never give it back. I also loved the pink sweatshirt with the collar.
I think I'm one of the few people who thought Ruthless vows was better than Divine Rivals. I loved how we got more of the fantasy, and just everything with the war was so interesting. It was my first five star read of the year, which I hadn't had a five star read since I think last September
Des,we need a video where Mila chooses your tbr or what books you buy💕
good idea!
I remember you saying you were going to declutter your space. I would love those videossss
Ruthless vows was such a drag for me. It took me so long to finish the book, which is crazy cause I read the first book in a day. I truly think that this serie could have been a stand alone.
1. i’m always so impressed with your shoe wall 2. the ocd in me wants to straighten them up 😂😂 3. i think every book you read instantly goes on my tbr
4. where is the blue sweater from???
This is one of your most excited/passionate videos in awhile. Can't wait for you to do a part 2!
Imma be real. I don’t read romance books. So Ruthless Vows… you honestly sold that for me. I don’t really care too much for fantasy when it focuses more on the romance. So honestly the second book sounds right up my alley lol.
Btw for anyone wondering why I’m sub’d.. book vibes ✨
Ehhhhh, the fantasy element wasn’t that great, imo.
girlie I just finished A Court of Mist and Fury yesterday and I was influenced to read this series because of you. why would you do this to my heart ????
Ruthless Vows put me in the biggest book slump. I bought it on release day and read about 5 chapters and have not been able to pick up a book since.
I had to power through so much in that book.
How so? No specific spoilers please! But I hate being in book slumps and I have these on my TBR.. Is it just heartbreaking in terms of a romance, do a lot of characters die, etc?
girl! the fact that i’ve done the exact same thing with ruthless vows! i read divine rivals in 2 days i’ve been on ruthless vows for 2 months..
Your reaction to bloodmarked it so relatable. I LOVE that book so so much purely for how the love triangle & sel’s storyline made me feel. If you want to feel something similar but complete though, you have to read the Infernal Devices trilogy by Cassandra Clare! You won’t regret it ❤
These are my favorite types of booktube videos!
Ruthless Vows was a 2 for me as well... And I love how we all have such different reading tastes just like you pointed out. This video definitely inspires me to finish off some of my own series!
Girl I love you, you are so awesome continue to shine daily. God bless you on this lovely day/night ❤🎉
Girl anytime im reading a book a find an ambience that matches the vibe of the book and put it on the tv 😭
omg des we 100% need a video where the amazing Mila chooses your tbr
Romance crumbs… 🤣 great description ❤️
You summed up my exact thoughts on Ruthless Vows it broke my heart to barely have crumbs of our beloved couple 😢
The queen has posted!!!✨️💝
ur skin is glowing des! 🥰
I feel like for Bloodmarked the two main enemies were the Order. Then her personal battle was the demon who had “bloodmarked” her maternal line. Also the ending, I had no words… Loved the video!
Girllll, how are you always looking so pretty! (and i love your clothers)
I was SO HAPPY when I saw that the first book you are reading is ruthless vows because I’m reading that book right now!
Totally agree with the rating for Ruthless Vows.
I took a break from reading but when I started to watch your videos you made me want to get into reading again. I love your videos!
i love these kinds of videos, obsessed with the satisfaction of finishing series so i love to watch people finish some!
I love your videos so much destiny❤❤ you have literally become my comfort youtuber
I literally LOVE Carissa Broadbent--she's an autobuy author for me for sure. I have no idea why I don't see more about her stuff, she has had no misses for me so far!
I love the Daughter of No Worlds trilogy, definitely feel like it doesn’t get the love it deserves in the book community. So glad you enjoyed the last book ❤️
Please read Shadowhunters soon! Every time I see the series on your shelf I get excited thinking that you'll read it. It's my favorite book series.
Yesss. Divine rivals really disappointed me. I still haven’t finished it cause I DONT CARE ABOUT THE WAR. I just needed scenes between iris and Roman. I feel robbed.
ahh always a good day when des posts, thank you des i hope ur doing better❤️love this video!!!
I couldn’t agree more with every thought you have towards divine rivals and ruthless vows!
I'm proud of you for attacking the physical TBR. You may have already made a video like this, but I would love to see a video where you pick your least rated book from your physical tbr and the highest rated book from your physical tbr.

Destiny! I LOVE the sweatshirt you’re wearing on 15:22! Where is that from?! Blue is your color! Beautiful!
I was gonna ask the same thing lol it’s so cute
really loved this video, we definitely need more of these!
I uploaded the same video on Wednesday and honestly it’s such a fun way to get through the ever growing TBR 💖🥰
I would love to see a video where you start and finish a series all in one video. ❤
DES PLEASE PLEASE READ THE INFERNAL DEVICES BY CASSANDRA CLARE i know you should technically read city of ashes and glass before but i think you should just start TID. ITS JUST SO GOOD and nobody talks about it and i need you to hype it up because it’s my favorite trilogy of all time! the characters, the dialogue, the romances it’s just everythingggg
I’m reading the infernal devices right now and I’m on the first book. It’s really good so far.
Was just rewatching your vids when I got this notification :)
haha that’s the best feeling
Destiny is such a funny human 😂❤
Yessss the romance in divine rivals hit different but lore part gave me shadow and bone
Ooh that would bother me too if you’re only getting crumbs of the romance 😢 I wish authors would focus more on the romance in general so it’s good for me to know that Divine Rivals focuses on it a lot. I’m reading Serpent & The Wings of Night right now and I’m loving the romance element and how it sometimes has really poetic lines ❤
i literally had to wait to watch this video bc i was still reading bloodmarked and I LOVED ITTT. i cant wait for oathbound!
Everyone wake up des posted!!🤭
I was so excited about ruthless vows but it was dragging, I also couldnt finish it and it took ages. I gave this one likd 2.75 (3 for me is neutral rating, no thoughts no feelings, but unfortunately it fell for me on the more negative side)
I am so scared to read ruthless vows because I needed so much days to read divine rivals and I really liked the romance and the letters in the first book but not really all the stuff with the gods because it confused me😅
I rated Divine Rivals 4.5 and Ruthless Vows 5 stars. Ruthless Vows was my favorite personally!
I LOVE seeing you finish series!! We def need another one
I loved the editing style and music you chose for this video!
this has nothing to do with the video but where is the sweater from 17:00 from?😭 it looks so cute and comfy!!
I have glasses from Pair Eyewear and the only thing I dislike about them are the sunglasses. In certain light they will reflect from the front and the back so I can see my eyes and part of the background behind me reflected in the glasses making it hard to see. That’s the only thing that drives me insane. Otherwise the top frames are really cute and I love my pink base frames.
How many sport shoes you can have? 18:42
Desteny: Yessss
omg!! 😱 😅🤦🏼♀️thats so funny cause right now i’m currently reading something that is way too character heavy but I wanted more of the plot like way more.
Yay bestie Destiny posted❤ I’m sending you love (:
This video concept is amazing ❤ we need more of it
I also gave RuthlessVows two stars. 🥴 I just was so ready for it to end.
