Jude doesn’t kill Valerian in the tower. She stabs him, yes, but she doesn’t kill him. He keeps quiet cuz he’s embarrassed that he was bested by a mortal girl, but Dain finds out abt the incident anyway and THAT is what he punishes Jude for, not saving Sophie (which would have probably had much larger consequences for Jude). Jude only actually kills Valerian when he drunkenly breaks into her house and attempts to kill her (either later the same day as she stabbed him, or the next day.. I can’t quite remember). She kills him, she hides his body, the Ghost shows up, she goes with the Ghost, she gets back afterward and then buries the body.
I was gonna say the same thing. I remember this scene so vividly because I was so shocked she actaully killed him like I dead ass GASPED because I didn't realize that the book was going to have so much murder in it for some reason until that point. twas like a turning point. sorry im yapping this series was big for me and the start of my reading journey and I have no one to talk to about it with so im bothering youuu lalala
@ nonono i LOVE this series!! you’re not bothering me at all haha. i remember being shocked as well, but that was a really big turning point for Jude, considering it was her first (of many) kill(s). definitely deserved bc Valerian was an a$$, but shocking nonetheless. and she did it with one hand too! a bada$$!!!
i love these books, but fair warning they’re explicitly not a romance. Holly Black never marketed them as romance. it’s very much a fantasy political novel with some romance elements. Jude and Carden are real enemies to lovers, and it takes a long time to get to the lovers part. so if you’re looking for a fluffy fantasy romance, maybe skip this one.
@ yeah, unfortunately BookTok heard “enemies to lovers” and immediately started telling people it was a romance. then, Holly Black kept having to tell people it was never a romance and never meant to be marketed as one.
Oh, good. Thank you for this comment, the description on goodreads made this out to be a romance book and I’m really tired of romance rn, so i wasn’t gonna read it, but a political fantasy sounds perfect.
Jude actually stabs herself without any glamour, Dain released the glamour to make her do it to prove her loyalty to him and punish her. she did it anyway
If the love interest in a book is a jerk in the beginning I can’t read it🙄🙄 I find it so annoying when a guy is literally super mean in a book and then when the main character gets to know him a little better he’s just a little misunderstood. Nope. There is no reason to be a jerk, manipulative and evil. I guess some people enjoy this kind of romance but I can’t deal with it, super annoying.
That's the same reason I couldn't finish reading this book :') I just find it really annoying when the love interest is a jerk, like what does the fmc see in him which I don't 😭
@@Arcseca Thiiis!! Like I know it’a fiction and not real life and people really love the enemies to lovers trope, and I do think it can be made well depending. But here he’a literally just a jerk and in real life that would turn me off so much😂😅 But like I said, everyone can enjoy some different things when it comes to fiction and some enemies to lovers works really well.
I had a hard time getting passed that as well 😅, but when you read later into the series you find out how absolutely messed up Cardan’s life was. His mother and brother, the only people who were really a part of his life were abusive, and he took it out on his friends and classmates. He an example of a person placed in a bad environment, and how you become a better person when in better situations lol.
You HAVE TO do the other books. I FREAKING LOVE THEM so that would be AWESOME. PS: I cant believe this channel just started cz this is just chefs kiss ✨
I remember reading the entire trilogy in like 8 hours and I was bored out of my mind so idk how you made this summary so appealing that I'm tempted to read it again lmao
OOH MYY I WAS WISHING FOR THIS EVER SINCE I SAW YOUR OTHER SUMMARY DAYS AGO I NEVER EXPECTED IT WOULD ACTUALLY HAPPEN!! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS WONDERFUL SUMMARY OF MY FAV BOOK!!!!!!!!!
I hate this trope in a book, Carden is so incredibly toxic at the start, and middle. Plus, they literally tried killing her. AND I especially hate when the fmc forgets it and makes a truce. LIKE GURL, in that situation, idgaf I’m holding a grudge FOREVER. WHO gives a shit if he apologizes… oh wait, carden didn’t. When the male mc is the reason for the fmc being put in a terrible situation.
Cardan never tried killing her, he saved her from them by pricking her finger so that she would suck it and taste the salt in her blood which releases humans for faerie enchantmants. The one who tried killing her was Valerian and he did it with no approvel or knowledge from Cardan. And Jude didn't forget it, she murdered Valerian and buried him in her yard. Cardan prides himself on his virtue of hating murder. By the time this happens Jude has already killed a messenger for Dane. Also we learn Cardan is as much as a victim of his friends as Jude is, he doesn't like them at all, he is stuck with them because they are all he has. Because Dane, the one who Jude decided to work for, made it so by framing him. Jude learns that this powerful arrogant prince is part of a facade of an abused neglected child. Despite her being human, she was under the protection and care of Madoc and has loving siblings, Cardan was taken in by his other abusive older brother who whipped him. Cardan is actually the least Cruel Prince and when he gained power he only turned nicer.
i know you said you didn't care if he apologizes or not, but he DID actually apologize to jude in book 2. it was actually kind of sweet, their conversation!
The only defence I have to this one in particular is they're fae. The fae DO NOT have human morality. It's why I can't read a lot of books with the fae in them because the authors will only play with the 'bad things' to then later justify 'good and bad' while ignoring what fae nature is. When both Seelie AND Unseelie aren't good side vs bad side. Both just follow certain codes and they aren't GOOD CODES. Especially to humans and especially to each other.
@zink6379 people always judge this book too early and never read on its so odd....the complaints that they have would be resolved if they FINISHED the book!! Then again, Faerie is a dark world and I'm glad Holly Black portrays it as such. Some people either don't like it, or just aren't ready for the cruelty the setting brings.
I genuinely love Oriana when we get into books 2 and 3 all of her actions make sense and she was just doing what she had to do and she did end up reconciling with Jude I believe.
I heard good things about the book. I got the book. I tried to read the book ... couldn't do it. The characters were flat, the dialogue was bad, and watching this summary to see what happened after I stopped reading, there are so nonsensical twists everywhere. It makes me glad to have pushed and delayed reading on, because now I am convinced I would have sworn off reading for a while in fear of getting another book of this .... Strange calibre. I wish all the fun to everyone who enjoyed the book, but I seriously don't get all the hype it got...
I was not a reader b4 I read this book. So I use at least a month reading the first book, but after the ending I went straight to the second. And I it only took me 3 days to finish it. And the last book took me 1 day. It was such a fun experience 😊 I think they just use the 1st book for building the characters and world and the other two are the real thing. Just wanna share my experience:)
@jasminecwng I wish you happy reading and welcome to being a Reader. There are so many books, not everyone can enjoy every book, but everyone can find books to enjoy. Thank you for sharing your experience. It is always wonderful to see new people getting inspired to dive into the world of reading.
it was a good read for new/younger readers. I disliked many parts of it and thought it was messyily written and plotted out, but i both loved the larger idea behind it and the world it was set in. there were many ideas i felt had potential if it hadn't been so poorly executed, but I ultimately enjoyed it despite the glaring flaws.
This is great ! but it’s always so funny how you can tell someone hasn’t read the other Holly Black’s faeries books cause of the way they draw Kaye, Severin or Ben (Severin’s lover)
I'm not going to finish the video. Not because it wasn't good or anything, but because I already switched over and bought the book. XD I'll be back though
I BEEN WAITING FOR THIS ONE. I lowey wanna see Eva and Justin's story because you know...I know out tyna protect you kids but why burn someone's body ALIVE ...also I need more on Vivi and Heather like I know they have a short story but still I need more,same with Nicasia. Also I started reading The Modern Faerie tales serie by Holly Black (Kaye's story) I personally find it way more interesting.
To everyone interested, this is an "enemies to lovers" Where they actually tried to murder each other not just can't stand each others guts abd banter then lust came and had sex etc. 2nd if all, if you want romance this ain't for you. This is mostly based on political fantasy, focused on a badass woman trying to gain the place she deserves.
unpopular opinion but I hated this book, it was something about the pacing and I feel like there was a few plot holes. Also I didn't like the relationship between jude and carden, I think their romance came in way to late and it was out of place but idk maybe I js don't like fantasy 💗
Seeing these characters in this art style is so silly. Cardan here just looks like a happy little guy and not at all the bastard ball of angst he actually is lmao
I watch these when I want to know what a book is about and not read it. i actually love the "murder dad" dynamic but I don't like horrible jerk male leads
You see I could not get into it cause Jude is not a good person. The crule Prince is a bad bad creature who takes joy in torturing and mutilating others. Here ending up loving him makes here a bad person and because of the power of plot armor she is somehow shielded by the consequences of getting involved with him. There is a manwha that is called the beast within (+18), and it follows this naive girl falling in love with the bad boy type but as a twist she is not protected by the plot and she gets abused by this man and keeps lying to herself and it really puts these situations into perspective it is a realistic portrayal with fantasy elements of what actually hapens when u date psychopaths. Because when I see the crule prince, I just think these people could argue a case for Hitler 😂 and I m sick of mediocre dudes with abs being romanticised
The book was really interesting and exciting, still a lot of logically strange stuff and I didn't like that love story at all, so don't want to continue and read the next books. It's not just rivalry between them, Kardan was really cruel and abusive. I can understand him but not feel love and sympathy to this character. I even thought Dain would be a better match for Jude as he was more mature and friendly to her. He seemed surprised about her act of true loyalty, it could evoke some new feelings in him. Anyway, it was an interesting book, I recommend it if you like fantasy and court intrigues. Thanks for your video, it was nice to remember some moments!
The entire point was that Dain while seeming mature and friendly was the most cruel out of the royal siblings. Cardan was the way he was because Dain set him up to fail by framing him for murder leaving Cardan to be ousted from the palace to be raised by his other abusive brother. He seems nice, but he made Jude stab herself and sent Jude out to murder someone for him and even once tried to kill her younger brother in the womb to hide a scandal. While Dain hides cruelty behind friendliness Cardan hides friendliness behind cruelty, regularly his insults are actually warnings. When Cardan gains power he less and less puts up a cruel facade.
@NoNameHereOrThere That's true. But still relationships with Cardan don't seem realistic to me. While many girls fall for relationships with cool and seemingly reliable men and only later find out some skeletons in their cupboard. So for me it would be more interesting to read about. Still I don't consider dain especially evil, just a typical aristocrat eager for power, if you watch game of thrones for example, many characters there are the same
@@katehanyu6032 I think even for Game of Thrones standards he is pretty evil. He tried to kill his own lover and child. He framed a child for murder. He made Jude stab herself. That Jude and Cardan don't have the typical young girl and ancient shadow daddy relationship is what is fun about it. Jude has the power in their relationship and is allowed to be a ruthless scheming female character without being held back. Cardan sits back, charms people, plays the fool and then warns them about the hospitality of knives Jude can provide instead.
I finished the books only because I had borrowed them and couldn't give them back without completing lol. But in the third book he gets a little better, and Jude is head over heels for him so nobody cares that he's bad
@@nara9404 so he’s still a shitty person and the only good thing about him are his looks? What is this for 12 year old little girls? Yeah I’m not reading this crap
@bigpulgalokes The thing is, the author KNOWS he's a bad person and doesn't make excuses for his behaviour. Usually, authors would try to justify it for the sake of making him look better.The main girl is also morally gray, just like him, if not even more so. I love how she put a twist on the guy in the book. It taught an important lesson. That so called villains in fiction had people they loved as well. They dont have to be one dimensional assholes who love no one and have no hobbies. But love interests were getting so boring. Glad I read this.
Is it just me, or do the first eight minutes remaind anyone else of Zodiac Academy? Like, twin sister, only real family left, enter new magical world, bullied by hot/popular squad, one sister is ready to throw hands
So the cruel prince... is a bully?... I dont usually read romantasy but i king of had some expecattions because of how everyone hyped this book. But a bully?! Seriously??
Which book would you love to see me animate next??
Powerless by Lauren Roberts

That’s what I was thinking! And Sophie doesn’t “fall” into the water, she throws herself into it on purpose

Oh thats why I was so disappointed with the romance in the bokks.
Now it makes sense why 😅

Oh, good. Thank you for this comment, the description on goodreads made this out to be a romance book and I’m really tired of romance rn, so i wasn’t gonna read it, but a political fantasy sounds perfect.
Yeah they should rather Read Tithe and The Coldest Girl in Cold Town. Also Severin is a brunette 😭

yeah but jude is pretty messed up too, so u get to see her revenge in their constant fight as she does messed up stuff too.
I dont have thhe attention span for these books but videos like this convince me to buy it tyvm
Does tyvm stand for thank you very mean.
@@luckystar9279 very much but very mean can work too my wallet
I just listened to the audiobook
The audiobook is really good! The voice actor does a great job at doing different voices for so many different characters
@@luckystar9279 it stands for ‘Thank You very Much’
You HAVE TO do the other books. I FREAKING LOVE THEM so that would be AWESOME. PS: I cant believe this channel just started cz this is just chefs kiss ✨
This is the book series that got me into reading. Cant wait for your next video!
Same!
I'm so glad!
Me too. I stopped reading for years and this started my love for reading again
I have been obsessed with this series for forever, thank you for the summary!
You're so welcome!
See, I love how this is connected to Holly's first trilogy of Modern Faerie Tales. Which Kaye and Roiben are main characters in two of those books.
Waiittt I remember seeing a bit from Kaye's perspective at the end of the Queen of Nothing but I didn't realize that there's actual full books of that
Oh man, ive said it before but this is the only way i want to see my book summaries.
With cute animations.
Thank you for doing what you do! 😭
Thank you for explaining, I was confused and was like “that’s really it?” Tbh this book is over hyped
to be fair it's so much better to actually read everything go down with dialogue and context
I remember reading the entire trilogy in like 8 hours and I was bored out of my mind so idk how you made this summary so appealing that I'm tempted to read it again lmao
OOH MYY I WAS WISHING FOR THIS EVER SINCE I SAW YOUR OTHER SUMMARY DAYS AGO I NEVER EXPECTED IT WOULD ACTUALLY HAPPEN!! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS WONDERFUL SUMMARY OF MY FAV BOOK!!!!!!!!!

Wow, you earned yourself a new subscriber. Love it. Your doodle, the humour, thanks for the video!
All the best ❤
I drop the book after the scene with Jude crawling around in her underwear. No apologies was given and I can't stand SA in books.
She literally murders the guy who did that lol

She literally got revenge by burying him in her yard
Like game of thrones?
A deadly education would be amazing. Scholomance is one of my favourite series
PREACH!!
I literally adore this book! Thank you soooo much for doing a recap on it, definitely subscribing to this channel (Can’t wait for more videos 😆)
Yay! Thank you!
I genuinely love Oriana when we get into books 2 and 3 all of her actions make sense and she was just doing what she had to do and she did end up reconciling with Jude I believe.
I love watching recap videos for books I had long forgotten that I read

I finished the books only because I had borrowed them and couldn't give them back without completing lol. But in the third book he gets a little better, and Jude is head over heels for him so nobody cares that he's bad
@@nara9404 so he’s still a shitty person and the only good thing about him are his looks? What is this for 12 year old little girls? Yeah I’m not reading this crap
@bigpulgalokes
The thing is, the author KNOWS he's a bad person and doesn't make excuses for his behaviour. Usually, authors would try to justify it for the sake of making him look better.The main girl is also morally gray, just like him, if not even more so. I love how she put a twist on the guy in the book. It taught an important lesson. That so called villains in fiction had people they loved as well. They dont have to be one dimensional assholes who love no one and have no hobbies. But love interests were getting so boring. Glad I read this.
Is it just me, or do the first eight minutes remaind anyone else of Zodiac Academy?
Like, twin sister, only real family left, enter new magical world, bullied by hot/popular squad, one sister is ready to throw hands
