des you just convinced me to start throne of glass... only you could convince me to read a 1,000,000 page series
I finished it last month 🤩
@@sacredsunflower8930 what’s the series order?
@@xxzynpxx6010 I would definitely read the assassins blade first and then read the rest, so in chronological order. It just makes so much more sense to me and makes the prequel something you actually want to read
@@xxzynpxx6010I would start with throne of glass read it that way that’s what I’m doing it’s better
@@mikaela_malfoy_odinsonstart with throne of glass, then read assassins blade before crown of midnight. in that order you can understand the events in crown of midnight and heir of fire better
I read Assassin’s Blade first when I read the Throne of Glass series and it made the series so much better in my opinion
Interesting bc i read it after heir of fire and felt like I appreciated more since I was invested in the celaena. I think it’s just that good that order doesnt even matter
same, made me understand throne of glass more and you feel more emotions if you read assassins blade first, bc other wise you already know what’s going to happen
@@justinn9342 Most definitely, reading it first made it more emotional and more meaningful
I still haven't read it yet after finishing the whole series and honestly, I'm so connected to her i think I'll ball my eyes out even more
I think reading assassins blade first might make the ending more emotional. But reading it fourth will make everything leading up to the end more emotional, at least that was my experience!
I feel like you're an older sister explaining to us how to get into fantasy giving us all this tips & tricks and i love you for it
Have I been reading fantasy for over a year? Yes. Did I still watch this video? Also yes
Literally me 😂 I loooove fantasy
Oh my gosh, please continue on with the Caraval trilogy. I just finished it and it gets so much better as you keep going!
Yessss, it so good. Especially "Legendary"💫
Yesss the second book was my fav ❤
Another fantastic and CRIMINALLY underrated fantasy series is The Prison Healer by Lynette Noni. The characters are to die for, the magic is really easy to understand, the politics are superb. These books will also have you’re jaw on the floor and staring at a wall.
The plot twists had my jaw on the floor fr
Does it have closed door romance or open door?
@@keltyworthington2633 closed door :)
You reallyyyyyyy need to continue with some Cassandra Clare books. The ending rubbed a lot of us wrong😅😅 but it gets better and her other books in the shadow hunter universe are absolutely AMAZING. If anyone reading this is trying to get into fantasy, her books are a great place to start.
I second this!
Currently in my fantasy era so needless to say im so freakin excited for this 🎉😊
Loved your opinion of TOG. I haven’t read it yet, but my husband has and he said he wouldn’t have liked reading the assassins blade later.
Queen Des, giving us what we need! I had no idea where to start with fantasy books but just started Six of Crows and ahhhhhh, love love love - def. agree that it’s beginner friendly. 💛
This video could not have come at a better time. I was literally just thinking about starting a fantasy book and try to get into it (I’m an AVID romance and thriller lover) so thank you des!!!!❤❤
watching this so I can go into my fantasy era correctly
AHH I WAS LITTERALLY WATCHING SARAHS VID WHEN I got THIS NOTIFICATION! I LOVE YOU!! ❤
Yay destiny uploaded I just love her vids so so much she makes me so happy your amazing queen ❤️🫶🏻 and i will read the assassin blade first! And I saw the priory of the orange tree!!!
I read Assassin's Blade after Heir of Fire and honestly loved it, I think if I started with it I would've struggling way more to get in to the rest of the series
I took your advice in the tog series and just received assassins blade I really hope I can get into the series but I trust you! Your are the ultimate book goddess and I’ve been in love with your channel since I discovered you!
This channel made me want to read again even in the summer. Thank you Destiny
i haven’t been this excited to watch a video in SO LONG
yay thank you for this video!!! really need to dive into some of these fantasies
If you haven't already, you should read the Remnant Chronicles, also by Mary E. Pearson! That trilogy is set in the same universe as Dance of Thieves, but they don't have to be read together. They're so good!!
Agreed!!!!
I just got the first one! I was hoping it’s good, so glad for the reassurance 🤭
Yes omg
i read assassins blade after heir of fire and the way it connected to the series made it have a huge impact on how much i loved it. i think if you love little details that turn into huge plot points that’s the best way to read it but i do agree that it has more of an emotional impact if you read it first. i do wish i got to understand sam and celeana’s relationship more while reading the first books but i don’t think i would have remembered the significance of the characters “introduced” in the later books as much. pros and cons to both! :))
i’ve been on the journey for about the past year ish of reading all of the shadowhunter chronicles (which is basically almost every book cassie clare has ever written)
and i would love love to see you make a video on reading them , and i completely understand the hesitation to read them after city of bones 😭😭
but i can confidently say cassie improves her writing SO MUCH
it literally feels like a different author .
i do love the mortal instruments but god the rest of her series are so so incredible. anyway this is my petition to have des read them and make a video on it 😫😫😫
I’m trying to get into fantasy and I totally started with the ACOTAR series 😂
Me too lmaooo
hi i have a question, does acotar have romance in it? and if it does is it really minimal? also if you've read throne of glass could u tell me abt that one too?
@@prettywhenicryx yes there is romance and there’s quite a bit throughout the series. It’s considered Romantasy.
@@prettywhenicryx I haven’t read Throne of Glads yet but I heard there is not much romance in it
@@austintsulilohi tysm!!
Literally the video I was just needing! Thank you!
If you loved Once Upon a Broken Heart series, I highly recommend you keep going with Caraval cause you meet Jacks in the other 2 books!
I love these long videos SO much
If you ever get interested in more classic fantasy. Hobbit and Lord of the Rings (pls). I would LOVE to see you read those books. The world building is complex, but worth it. And there's a side character romance, and it is beautiful. It's however, not a fantasy romance that you like to read, but J.R.R. Tolkien has (probably) influenced the fantasy genre more than any other fantasy author.
It's definitely something that would take reading more fantasy to appreciate (or if you watched and enjoyed the movies like me, not the hobbit movies tho). But I would love to see you read it at some point!
Oh my gosh yeah!! The Hobbit and The first of the trilogy The Fellowship of The Ring, were my favorite!!!! They got me into fantasy!! I'm reading The Two Towers now
Hi Destiny
I was searching youtube for book reviews, and I first found your videos. ❤
I enjoy watching your awesome videos and hearing your reviews 😊
destiny i think you should definitely read the lunar chronicles!! they are amazing fairytale retellings set in the future and they have some of my favorite characters and romance and plot and are literally just so so good. love u🩷🩷
Perfect timing! I literally just started getting into fantasy 💛 I am currently reading and vlogging my experience with the zodiac academy series and it's made me really curious to try some Sarah J.Maas!!
ahhh I love your vids! ur servinggg
i loved this video. it’d be so cool if you did this with authors or just other genres. i just started the throne of glass series and i’m loving it so far but i’m reading assassins blade third since i’ve already started it so i hope that doesn’t affect me to much. i’ve read a decent amount of fantasy so i just really enjoy it in general lol
I agree 100% about what you said comparing Throne of Glass and The Courts series. Throne of Glass is my absolute favorite ❤❤
I’ve been waiting for this one turn it up 🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼
This video is perfect for me and so many people diving into fantasy books❤ your an icon Destiny! (;
YOU MAKE SO HAPPY ❤️
Thank you for this video! I’m in my fantasy romance era after reading ACOTAR and I can’t wait to read some more fantasy books! :)
hi i have a question, does acotar have romance in it? and if it does is it really minimal? also if you've read throne of glass could u tell me abt that one too?
I love throne of glass!!! I read it before Acotar and I feel like you can see her writing improve since she wrote throne of glass first, but I still love throne of glass more 💓😊
yes omg destiny you need to read the lunar chronicles (which is cinder, what you were talking about) it’s no joke an amazing book series!!
I found The Atlas Six an amazing book and loved the plot! If you thought that book was very lyrical and confusing, then the second one is even more confusing. It's all over the place but there's definitely a lot of scenes that are worth it. Also has incredible quotes.
and now im in a fantasy mood thank you!
Hi Destiny!!! Here I am again asking you to read Belladonna and This Vicious Grace :)! Loved todays video! 💕
I read assassin's blade third, my defense of that reading order is that I think caring about celaena is essential for really feeling strongly about her in the novellas. I also think reading the assassin's blade right before heir of fire puts her headspace at the start of heir of fire into context- you know exactly why she's so low and everything that has lead up to this point is fresh in your mind. but there's so much debate over this for a reason, truly any reading order works as long as it's before queen of shadows! love your videos ❤
I agree! This is the way I read it. The ending of Assassin's Blade still punched me in the gut and then those events were fresh in my mind for Heir of Fire or Queen of Shadows, I dont remember when I read it but the events were fresh and fuck Arobynn Hamel, thats all 😂 it still has a big emotional impact reading it later on
I was taking a nap. However I just woke up and this just put me in such a good mood. ❤❤
Obsessed with your vidsss!
My queen posted 🎉
Im really craving some fantasy rn and it’s great that everyone on TH-cam is too!
As someone who read Assassin’s Blade first, I would highly recommend following that reading order. It’s a prequel so the events take place before Throne of Glass. It helps you understand the main character and some of the things she’s been through which have brought her to the place she’s in at the start of TOG. TOG also refers to people and events from AB.
Dance of Thieves is my ABSOLUTE favorite duology
Omg the Invisible Life Of Addie Larue got me into reading as well!! I always tell everyone that it’s so special to me because if led me to love reading
Funny thing
My first fantasy book was The Invisible Life Of Addie Laure. And at the time I didn't even know it was considered as a fantasy book. I just picked it up because it was one of the most popular books at the time. And I gave it a 5 ⭐. It's one of my comfort books
I read Crescent City first, before knowing anything about SJM. I wanted a thick adult fantasy to throw myself into after not having read for years. Definitely did not disappoint.
That’s what happened to me! It’s been so difficult to decide which sj Maas book to read next
@@marynbooks0622 same! I read acotar and tog first books yrs ago and gave up on Maas, then I needed an adult book and Crescent City hit so good, she improved a lot. I'll probably go back to see what the hype for ToG is about
I've read most of acotar, but I only really loved acomaf. Haven't read SF yet. I want to start on ToG but.. woof, that's a long series.
I LOVE YOUR SHIRT!!!! Like OMG 🤣🙌💗👩🏼⚖💕🖤💗
Never have I ever clicked so fast
same I absolutely love fantasy books
@@savanna8898 me tooo! 💜
As a kid I read the guardians of time trilogy by Marianne Curley and I absolutely loved them was reading them at 10 years old and ate them up, i grew up on loads of fantasy books and geeked when I saw acotar and seeing so many people getting into reading because of it makes me happy 🥰
Just finished ACOTAR, starting ACOMAF. I’m loving this series. I had to look this video up!!!
I don't even read fantasy but I'm here for you destiny!! 😊🎉
YAYY another video
Makes my day❤️
You HAVE to read the Fortuna Sworn series. It is a lesser-known series (might be self-published) but it's very well-written with a heavy romance subplot. The whole plot is just amazing, though, and the found family is the best I've read. The first four books are out now, the fifth comes out later this year, and there's only slated to be one more book after that. Highly, highly recommend.
yaaay new vid💛
You have to get into the mortal instruments series!! keep reading, it gets so much better. Her second series, the infernal devices, is my absolute favorite. and she has like 4-5 series spanning 15 books plus novelas and short stories. I have been reading it since I was 17 years old and 9 years later I'm still obsessed
I LOVE LONG VIDEOS LIKE THIS
love you des❤
Des’ saying of the day: “let me tell you this” 😂❤️
I read The Assassin’s Blade first. I feel it made the series flow better and I got better insight into Arobynn’s character. Also it just made certain things hit harder.
I just read this after wanting to for 2 years and I am hooked ready for the rest of the series
I saw a very beautiful library in the video. You have many books. I enjoyed your video my friend
If you love Dance of Thieves and Vow of Thieves please read The Remnant Chronicles, they take place before DOT and VOT, and I absolutely loved them! Also, Morrighan came out recently and it is set way before any of them, it’s probably my favorite in the series!
destiny AND sara in one day?! yes please 🤩💘
The An Ember in the Ashes quartet is underrated it’s sooo good
The way des read my mind 🙂💀😭
Loved this video!! Thank you!
girl i’ve ONLY read assassins blade and it made me ball my eyes out. so even tho i haven’t read the rest of the series i recommend reading it first
I read assassins blade fourth and I feel like it hit so much harder BECAUSE I knew how it was going to end. Like I thought knowing what was coming would have prepared me for it but i was def not prepared lmao
I'm starting the Thrown of Glass series soon and I really dont know what to read first I think I might read Assassins Blade first because people say it makes more sense that way and my peanut brain needs it.
Obsessed with youuu❤
Hi Destiny, love your videos! Would you consider doing a vlog of you reading Twlight?
I’ve read acotar and house of blood. But I’ve never read throne of glass. Do u think I would like it? I want to get the heart of the raven prince. I have the crescent city series but what pisses me off is that one is hardcover and the other is paperback. Ugh. I’m so excited for the new episode of yours and Sara’s podcast!! ❤
I hope you read more Cassandra Clare, I know the ending is kinda of city of bone is kinda weird. But i definitely recommend reading the rest of the series and her other series!
If you love jacks I the once upon a heart series please continue with the caraval trilogy. I agree the first book is meh but the next book is from the pov of her sister so it makes the book more interesting
love the legally blonde shirt lol
5:58 omg I got it so ACOTAR / SJM universe is equivalent to grey anatomy, a very long series (of books / episodes) which if people love it they LOVEEEE it
YES READ THE ATLAS PARADOX! I loved it and cant wait until January 2024 for the 3rd book.
the remnant chronicles trilogy is before the dance of thieves duology so maybe that’s y it was a bit confusing!
I don’t think this is a fantasy book but I recommend Not Even Bones. It’s a trilogy and it got me into reading. It’s a twisted up world with monsters and monster hunters. The main character Nita gets put on the black market and she does some unbelievable things with the help of a friend!! I definitely recommend!!
The rest of Caraval is SO WORTH IT. Legendary and Finale are way better and if you continue and still don’t like legendary just move on to finale
LOVE UUU
The Thorne of glass series has been amazing so far i am tandem reading books 5 and 6 right now and will finish off with a very chunky book 7
i just started reading fourth wing and it’s pretty interesting so far
I personally think that in the Cruel Prince triology the third book has quite a lot romance and then afterwards you see the signs in the books before. I think after you reading it talking about the romance will come easily. Aside from the romance part the triology is soo good and I still think about it a lot.
Hey Destiny! Absolutely LOVE your videos! Do you think i should read acotar first or fourth wing.. i haven't read fantasy since harry potter and percy Jackson like 10 years ago😂 so confused like crazy
You looking stunning miss girl!!😍
I'm trying to be in my Sarah J Maas era because I feel like I'm way behind the times. 😂 I'm reading the Throne of Glass series now. Not too far into it, but loving what I've read so far. ❤
Des you should definitely try Zodiac Academy!!!
A fantasy guide without Tolkien or Sanderson is CRAZY
this is more romantasy.
Destiny for your next 24hr readathon, maybe it would be easier if u started it at night so getting through the night will be easier. and when its finally over the next night u can just go right to sleep! easier and it wont mess up ur sleep schedule
Reading one dark window --- gotta put it on your tbr
This is my fav video ever!!!
I really enjoyed the Lunar Chronicles series. Word of advice, do not read the prequel Fairest until after you read Winter.
A great fantasy series.
hey destiny, love your videos, do you think that you can do a romance guide video, with a section of the video dedicated to YA closed door romance, thans!!
Yes!we'll def love it!!
