I absolutely love Captive Prince series for one reason. It's the most realistic and non toned down portrayal of two people truly hating each other, that are forced to work together to achieve one goal. During this they are learning to respect each other, to appreciate each other company and only then they fall in love. It's a very complex development, which I enjoyed reading about. It's obviously an adult book and it discusses mistreatment, abuse and rape, but it's never done for entertainment. It's a way to start a discussion on a difficult topic through a fantasy world. More so all even remotely romantic scenes between the characters are 100% consensual. Penguin did a big disadvantage to this book when they've split it. The first book doesn't end on a right note.
That's why I left that genre. I decided to read more classics and seasoned writers, because I feel like they really know how to handle difficult subjects.
I feel the same about Harry Potter and the Cursed Child. I felt like the whole book just made no sense and was pointless. I just kind of block the Cursed Child out of my mind. I pretend that it didn't happen. It's not Harry Potter to me.
Just saying, I don't think it should be mandatory for an author to have LGBT characters. I have nothing against it but I don't see how it's a problem if a character isn't part of the LGBT community. Everyone is different and has different opinions and I don't think you should ridicule an author just because they don't have LGBT characters in their books. Obviously diverse books and characters are good but if an author doesn't want that to be part of their story I think everyone should be okay with that.
+Hplekk18 if you are referring to Cursed Child, my problem wasn't that the characters were straight. It was that all their actions and words made it seem like they were gay
I completely agree with your opinion on The Wrath and the Dawn! I've been trying to finish it for months now and I just can't. (So many people seemed to love it in 2015 so I wanted to know what all of the fuss was about.) I think it might be a book I give up on which doesn't happen often. I'm about halfway through and her wishy-washy feelings for the prince is just so annoying. I feel like the story could have had so much more potential if it had focused solely on her and she wasn't falling in love with him. But I haven't read any of the other books you mentioned so I can't speak on those.
I also hated the Wrath and the Dawn soooo much! I wanted to burn every character in the book. I have steered clear of November Nine so far because I know I will hate them.
Everyone talks about the queer baiting in cursed child, but I respectfully disagree. I did not like the book, but I think Albus and Scorpius show that it is okay for straight dudes to be affectionate and caring towards each other, and that the love between friends is equally important.
you became one of my favorite book-tubers now after this video. for real, oh and i only read november 9 which i omg HATED and the wrath and the dawn which i agree with you in every word you said about. so much love from Egypt xx
Also reading a review of Captive prince, I've heard that all the 'normalize/legitamate'' relationships were straight and the slave-master ones were same sex, so really it;s not that much of a heteronormative world now is it?
I've not read Captive Prince, so I can't really judge it, but I have always found it hypocritical that most booktubers (quite rightly) call out tropes that are even mildly abusive or problematic in m/f romances, but they seem to have absolutely no problem with blatant sexual abuse and rape in this book.
I agree with everything you said about The Wrath and the Dawn! After this year I've lost all interest in Colleen Hoover - Whitney's review is really what did it for me.
Happy birthday! And I love the cat ears. Those are so cool! Most of those books are ones I refuse to read, for pretty much the reasons you said. The one exception is TWatD, which I DNF'd anyway. I could not get into it, because I felt like it didn't deviate enough from the source material. And I haven't read Captive Prince, but I swear it sounds more and more like it was originally erotica while it was being written and then the author went "actually I'm going to add an actual plot in this book somewhere."
The only reason I didn't absolutely hate The Cursed Child was because it felt so much like fanfiction to me, I can't think of it as canon. To me, that's just not what happened after the seventh book and that way I'm kind of alright with it. Doesn't make any sense :D
The thing that frustrated me the most in the cursed child was that Ron was said to rn the joke shop. Like no, Ron is an auror just like Harry. Are you telling me I made this all up?
Cursed Child was just so awful, and it had so many little plot points that I found so cool. Like Harry's son being in Slytherin, that actually excited me because it sounded so interesting. But the book was awfully written, Voldemort getting laid? really? the way I described it was "a really bad fanfiction," basically. How stupid was the plot line though? not even just the time travel. The whole plot line with Voldemort's kid that was copy and pasted from The Omen. >.>
1) I love your cat ears! 2) now I'm weary about reading The Wrath and The Dawn because I hate when characters are back and forth between loving and hating a "romantic interest"
If you wanna read a fantasy book focusing on a male male relationship,, you should read Carry On! It's one of my favorite books of all time. Althought I'm not sure if you've already read that though.
I still haven't read cursed child and I'm debating on whether to even read it at all now. I love Harry Potter and don't want the series ruined for me but I'm still curious...
happy birthday!I read the hp books after the series had finished and the author had said that he was gay and while I was reading,I was looking for "clues".Nothing.No subtle references nothing.And the author saying that he was gay after the fact is not representation.
*puts on seatbelt* *buckles in* *grabs tea* YES I love how you found your birthday the perfect excuse to film this,ahaha,you go,girl I am so living for the video I HAD HELLA LOW HOPES FOR CURSED CHILD AND IT'S LIKE MY LEAST FAVE OF 2016,HI5 (or,you know,low5 since we had to go through that mental torture)
For some reason I really love these videos. And it's not because of the books themselves (I always like to read books for myself to find out where I stand), I just love the honesty. Obviously I love hearing about books people love, but it's fascinating to see the books people don't enjoy. Because there is nothing wrong with not liking something, and I feel like people try to conceal those opinions because they are afraid of hurting someone, but everyone is allowed their own opinions. So yeah, just wanted to say great video lol.
Although I will say I do not plan on ever reading Colleen Hoover after reading Whitney's review. How disgusting. I think that books ABOUT abuse are really important and should be written and read, but clearly that book was not ABOUT abuse, it just romanticized a clearly abusive relationship. I think that's so gross.
Honestly, I hated the majority of books I read this year and DNFd so many books (literally been in a slump the whole time!). But my most hated was the book I was most anticipating- Lady Midnight, which I waited 4 years for! I've not found anyone else on booktube who didn't like it, but the characters were boring and the plot wasn't great-the best parts were when the old characters returned. Really hope 2017 will be a better reading year for me!
Happy belated Birthday :) Also thanks for sharing your opinions on The Wrath and the Dawn because it sounds the like the kind of book that will annoy the frick out of me and I was thinking about buying it the other day so you saved me! :D
Oh no, I've been so excited to read The Wrath & The Dawn. I'll still give it a try and see how it goes. Definitely won't be picking up Captive Prince; I haven't heard many positive things about it. I just found you channel and subbed💖
I liked the way you explained the problem with coho books, interesting though that her latest book actually is about abuse even though nearly all her other books I've read of hers already covered that topic so well -.- And Whitney's review on November 9th was on point 👌 there were things even I didn't see Oh and Happy Birthday :D
I've heard so much about November 9 on book tube and it was all basically rave reviews. I was curious about the controversy so I checked out whitney's review and HOLY SHIT HOW DOES IT HAVE A 4.45 RATING?! Can someone please explain how a book like that can possibly be considered good?!
Happy 21st birthday!! Mine was awesome so I hope yours is too! PS I agree with you on all of those books. Thanks for making this video and actually being honest !
Yeah I tried reading two of Colleen Hoover's books and just couldn't. Her books are like the first ones I've dnfed. In one of her books she used the word "whore" in a way that I just didn't like and didn't really find funny at all. Idk it was off-putting. I had other issues as well.
tbh I only liked 'it ends with us' I liked the others because I hadn't read many books at that time and her books were easy and kinda cute to read blabla but now I think they're full of shit LOL except it ends with us ugh still love that book
Happy birthday!!! :D I hated November 9 so MUCH, it made me so angry and I was really confused because everyone seems to love her books and I was hate reading it by chapter 2! I really enjoyed the CP trilogy when I read it, but I went in not knowing anything about the endgame relationship so I read it without any preconceptions and I probably enjoyed it because of that, but I definitely agree with your points on the book. I hated the Cursed Child! Everything was wrong and I just... ughhh :( The characterization was so off! I couldn't believe the mess they made of the trio, especially Harry :'(
I thought we were going to have to fight when the first book you pulled out was TWATD (I love that book!!!) but you saved it with everything else on the list lol. Happy birthday!!!
OMG You didn't like November 9! I've been putting it off because of a lot of reasons but I definitely want to read that review and see if I'd still want to read it or not. Have you read It Ends With Us by Colleen Hoover! I really want to know your thoughts about it. :D
I haven't read Harry Potter and the Cursed Child and while I own it, I'm becoming more and more turned off by it just from what I've heard. I'm not sure if I should pick it up just to form my own opinion or if it would be a waste of my time.
Just read what you wrote in the description about Carve the Mark and I thought there was something fishy going on with that book lol Even on goodreads the reviewers seem kind of restricted. I think I'm just going to stay away from it because I don't agree with the tactics the publishers are using and I didn't like Divergent anyway.
I actually really enjoyed Cursed Child, but only bc I saw it as a really weird fanfiction. If I thought about it as "the 8th Harry Potter book", as it was advertised, I probably would have hated it, but because I thought of it as fanfiction I could enjoy and laugh about the ridiculousness of it :)
I recently read the cursed child and to me it was just a quick read and in the end I was really disappointed. I feel like it's quite silly to kind of put a continuation into the old story anyway for me the cursed child spoiled the characters and the old hp books
I read The Wrath & The Dawn and thought it was okay but I read like 20 pages of the next one and it. was. just. terrible! So glad to see other people that also don't think that these were just the best books ever! I can't even talk about Cursed Child, it was so shitty!
I read November Nine in 2015 because I saw a lot of buzz by big booktubers about it. I hated it. By the middle of the book I almost dnf'd it. Skimmed the last 100 pages. Not her best book.
Book Scholar - From what I remember, yes. Ultimately, focusing on their relationship distracted too much from the Golden Trio, but it can be considered canon.
After this video I would trust you with my life haha you speak the truth! I 100% agree with the Cursed Child and your reasons for hating it. Also I'm glad to know your thoughts on Captive Prince because I was really excited to read it based on the general premise like you but after what you said I'm not even gonna go near it.
When I read The Wrath and The Dawn I guess??? I like it, but I don't remember a thing. I feel like it's meh. What I think it's the worst about Colleen Hoover is that she used to work in social work. I always thought her books were exploitative.
i read the whole captive prince trilogy in hopes that it'd get better but LOL NOPE. it really bothers me how popular the series is despite having rape scenes every other page.
I absolutely hated November 9 and I agree with everything you said about Colleen Hoover, I seriously cannot understand the hype around her and her trashy ass books.
I really disliked The Wrath and the Dawn. I have never hate read a book before but with that book I did. It was such a popular book but it was terrible!!!! Great video (and happy late birthday!) :D
Aw Riley, Dumbledore's sexuality was far from an after-thought! You don't need to tell every detail about a character, for those details to exist! That's the only thing I disagree with though, the rest was pretty spot on.. Though I haven't actually seen the play.. I'm seeing it this Saturday, so I'm eager to see what everyone's talking about!
Oh, but I loved this video. I might actually enjoy Least Favorite Books videos more than Favorites...because I am petty and love to hate on crappy things. Oh well. ;)
already said so on twitter but, happy birthday!! cursed child is such a masterpiece of awful. i thought it veered into "so bad it's good" territory, but i did read it after a really horrible round of comics. I read a lot of crap this year, but I'll give my Worst to flash volumes 6 to...8, i think? from the nu52 run. Sexist, racist, homophobic, & bad characterization in general. It's a miracle I read all of it Glad I never got into Colleen Hoover and Captive Prince honestly sounds worse every time I hear about it.
Wow reading that review makes my blood boil! I've mostly heard great things about Colleen Hoover but after reading that with such detailed examples I will never pick up anything by her. That's such trash. And that plot twist! Hell. Fucking. No. No way. Bye. (Just junking about big booktubers raving about her books is making me kinda sick too...)
Harry Potter and the Cursed Child is on everyone's list of worst books of the year.
Kenzie Staley it isn't on mine xD
Delia Meier
You are a miracle lol
Kenzie Staley it isn't on mine either but that's because I didn't had really high expectations & I never actually saw it as canon
I think I`m the only one who actually enjoyed reading this book:D
I enjoyed it too, a lot actually!
I absolutely love Captive Prince series for one reason. It's the most realistic and non toned down portrayal of two people truly hating each other, that are forced to work together to achieve one goal.

Penguin did a big disadvantage to this book when they've split it. The first book doesn't end on a right note.
This video cleared my skin, watered my crops, payed my bills. 😂
This is the best comment I've seen on youtube in a very long time :)
speaking of CoHo I tend to stay away from NA in general bc 90% of them try to romanticize rape and abuse and it's a HUGE nope for me.
Sounds like YA is publishing a lot of disgusting, exploitative crap these days.
SFF180 November 9th and Captive Prince are actually adult and technically the cursed child is middle grade
That's why I left that genre. I decided to read more classics and seasoned writers, because I feel like they really know how to handle difficult subjects.
@@Jeremysepicreads if you say so. i wasn't stating whethet it's a good or bad book, only the age group.
Wow you disliked so many extremely popular and well-loved books! Praises for your courage to share your true opinions girl ;D
I feel the same about Harry Potter and the Cursed Child. I felt like the whole book just made no sense and was pointless. I just kind of block the Cursed Child out of my mind. I pretend that it didn't happen. It's not Harry Potter to me.

The scene you described from Captive Prince turns my stomach, ugh. The LGBT community deserves better book representation then that.
I feel more secure in my decision not to read Cursed Child now.
you became one of my favorite book-tubers now after this video. for real, oh and i only read november 9 which i omg HATED and the wrath and the dawn which i agree with you in every word you said about. so much love from Egypt xx
I love to see when the same books show up on some people's favorites vids and other people's least favorites 😂😂😂
UR EYEBROWS !!!!!!!!!!!!!
i honestly could have guessed all the books on this list lolol
Happy Birthday! I love how passionate you are about books, it's so nice to watch!
Reading your below text, I'm kinda excited but also interested in hearing your thoughts on Carve the Mark!
Also reading a review of Captive prince, I've heard that all the 'normalize/legitamate'' relationships were straight and the slave-master ones were same sex, so really it;s not that much of a heteronormative world now is it?
I actually loved The Wrath and The Dawn, but it was nice to hear your opinions! Love your videos

I feel like Cursed Child is on so many of these lists!!
I agree with everything you said about The Wrath and the Dawn! After this year I've lost all interest in Colleen Hoover - Whitney's review is really what did it for me.
I haven't heard much about Captive Prince but I know it has recently become extremely popular on booktube - glad to hear your thoughts!!

The thing that frustrated me the most in the cursed child was that Ron was said to rn the joke shop. Like no, Ron is an auror just like Harry. Are you telling me I made this all up?
I went from a 2015 video to a 2017 one and omg your brows have changed so much haha
Cursed Child was just so awful, and it had so many little plot points that I found so cool. Like Harry's son being in Slytherin, that actually excited me because it sounded so interesting.

I love how you found your birthday the perfect excuse to film this,ahaha,you go,girl
I am so living for the video
I HAD HELLA LOW HOPES FOR CURSED CHILD AND IT'S LIKE MY LEAST FAVE OF 2016,HI5 (or,you know,low5 since we had to go through that mental torture)
YOU HAVE THE SAME BIRTHDAY AS ALEXANDER HAMILTON! Do you listen to Hamilton?

And yes I love Hamilton

Happy belated Birthday :) Also thanks for sharing your opinions on The Wrath and the Dawn because it sounds the like the kind of book that will annoy the frick out of me and I was thinking about buying it the other day so you saved me! :D
Oh no, I've been so excited to read The Wrath & The Dawn. I'll still give it a try and see how it goes. Definitely won't be picking up Captive Prince; I haven't heard many positive things about it. I just found you channel and subbed💖
happy birthday!! i got rid of my copy of cursed child because I couldn't stand to look at it on my shelf anymore.
I liked the way you explained the problem with coho books, interesting though that her latest book actually is about abuse even though nearly all her other books I've read of hers already covered that topic so well -.-
And Whitney's review on November 9th was on point 👌 there were things even I didn't see
Oh and Happy Birthday :D
I've heard so much about November 9 on book tube and it was all basically rave reviews. I was curious about the controversy so I checked out whitney's review and HOLY SHIT HOW DOES IT HAVE A 4.45 RATING?! Can someone please explain how a book like that can possibly be considered good?!
Happy 21st birthday!! Mine was awesome so I hope yours is too! PS I agree with you on all of those books. Thanks for making this video and actually being honest !
"I love hating books" Same to be honest, hahahaha. Great video and happy belated birthday

I'm so glad I didn't read cursed child, also I completely agree about captive prince, I can't believe its so popular
To me, Cursed Child was bad fanfiction. I refuse to see it as canon.
I thought we were going to have to fight when the first book you pulled out was TWATD (I love that book!!!) but you saved it with everything else on the list lol. Happy birthday!!!
OMG You didn't like November 9! I've been putting it off because of a lot of reasons but I definitely want to read that review and see if I'd still want to read it or not. Have you read It Ends With Us by Colleen Hoover! I really want to know your thoughts about it. :D
Happy Birthday! I adore you and your unpopular opinions and they should be celebrated!
I haven't read Harry Potter and the Cursed Child and while I own it, I'm becoming more and more turned off by it just from what I've heard. I'm not sure if I should pick it up just to form my own opinion or if it would be a waste of my time.
Just read what you wrote in the description about Carve the Mark and I thought there was something fishy going on with that book lol Even on goodreads the reviewers seem kind of restricted. I think I'm just going to stay away from it because I don't agree with the tactics the publishers are using and I didn't like Divergent anyway.
omg i hated november 9 too! i don't understand the 5 star ratings
Happy Birthday! I love you and your channel 💕
I actually really enjoyed Cursed Child, but only bc I saw it as a really weird fanfiction. If I thought about it as "the 8th Harry Potter book", as it was advertised, I probably would have hated it, but because I thought of it as fanfiction I could enjoy and laugh about the ridiculousness of it :)
I recently read the cursed child and to me it was just a quick read and in the end I was really disappointed. I feel like it's quite silly to kind of put a continuation into the old story anyway for me the cursed child spoiled the characters and the old hp books
This is amazing! Thoroughly enjoyed your rants haha
I read The Wrath & The Dawn and thought it was okay but I read like 20 pages of the next one and it. was. just. terrible! So glad to see other people that also don't think that these were just the best books ever!
I can't even talk about Cursed Child, it was so shitty!
I'm reading the Wrath and the Dawn right now, and I'm actually loving it! To each their own though :)
ugh the book I HATED in 2016 was The Crown. When I finnished it I wanted to throw it on a wall.
I read November Nine in 2015 because I saw a lot of buzz by big booktubers about it. I hated it. By the middle of the book I almost dnf'd it. Skimmed the last 100 pages. Not her best book.
Happy Birthday Riley hope you have an amazing day
Seamus & Dean were in a relationship with each other, but the publishers didn't think focusing on that worked with the story.
Caitlin is a Kitty Cat wait...what?
Book Scholar - I read it in an interview awhile back. It's part of why Dean & Seamus weren't getting along when Dean was dating Ginny.
Wow. I didn't know that. J.K. Rowling confirm this?
Book Scholar - From what I remember, yes. Ultimately, focusing on their relationship distracted too much from the Golden Trio, but it can be considered canon.
After this video I would trust you with my life haha you speak the truth! I 100% agree with the Cursed Child and your reasons for hating it. Also I'm glad to know your thoughts on Captive Prince because I was really excited to read it based on the general premise like you but after what you said I'm not even gonna go near it.
If your birthday is January 11, then GIRL WE SHARE BIRTHDAYS!!!:)
When I read The Wrath and The Dawn I guess??? I like it, but I don't remember a thing. I feel like it's meh. What I think it's the worst about Colleen Hoover is that she used to work in social work. I always thought her books were exploitative.
i read the whole captive prince trilogy in hopes that it'd get better but LOL NOPE. it really bothers me how popular the series is despite having rape scenes every other page.
Isabel Levisky does it? wow. all the good reviews don't seem to mention that -_-
sexydoorframes maybe not EVERY other page but yeah, there are loads of abusive/rape scenes tbh and people seem to disregard that somehow 😐
Worst book that I read of 2016 has to be A Court of Thorns and Roses
The books that I really hated this year was The travelers wife and Dankfever! also, I'm not gonna read hp and the cursed child for sure!
I absolutely hated November 9 and I agree with everything you said about Colleen Hoover, I seriously cannot understand the hype around her and her trashy ass books.
Mine was Cursed Child too or The Hidden Oracle. Happy Birthday!!!!!!
HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY!!
YOUR EYEBROWS ARE SO NICE
I really disliked The Wrath and the Dawn. I have never hate read a book before but with that book I did. It was such a popular book but it was terrible!!!! Great video (and happy late birthday!) :D
Aw Riley, Dumbledore's sexuality was far from an after-thought! You don't need to tell every detail about a character, for those details to exist!
That's the only thing I disagree with though, the rest was pretty spot on.. Though I haven't actually seen the play.. I'm seeing it this Saturday, so I'm eager to see what everyone's talking about!
I pretend the curse child doesn't exists, idc
I hated the main character in The Wrath and the Dawn. She got on my nerves!
Happy (belated) Birthday! Youre anger towards some of these are making me second guess the ones in the video that were on my tbr ... :/ Im conflicted
Yes, yes, yes! Everything you said is so spot-on!
Happy belated birthday!!!!! Sorry it's so late. Hope you had a great day!!!
Well happy birthday to u girl!
Thank you for your review. I was thinking about reading Captive prince but you just save me from that bad taste you talked about.
Happy Birthday ! :D
My birthday is January 10th!
Oh, but I loved this video. I might actually enjoy Least Favorite Books videos more than Favorites...because I am petty and love to hate on crappy things. Oh well. ;)
already said so on twitter but, happy birthday!!
cursed child is such a masterpiece of awful. i thought it veered into "so bad it's good" territory, but i did read it after a really horrible round of comics. I read a lot of crap this year, but I'll give my Worst to flash volumes 6 to...8, i think? from the nu52 run. Sexist, racist, homophobic, & bad characterization in general. It's a miracle I read all of it
Glad I never got into Colleen Hoover and Captive Prince honestly sounds worse every time I hear about it.
Happy Birthday! :)
I DNFed Wrath and the Dawn.Existence by Abbi Glines and Unknown by Wendy Higgins I have more but those are the top ones.I'd say strongly disliked.
If you filmed the same day as you uploaded this, we have the same birthday!😊💕
We share the same birthday!🤗 Happy belated birthday! ❤
Happy birthday!!
Happy Birthday! 😙
I couldn't agree more about November 9, or Colleen Hoover novels in general. I've read a few of them and I've disliked every single one of them.
WE HAVE THE SAME BIRTHDAY
Wow reading that review makes my blood boil! I've mostly heard great things about Colleen Hoover but after reading that with such detailed examples I will never pick up anything by her. That's such trash. And that plot twist! Hell. Fucking. No. No way. Bye. (Just junking about big booktubers raving about her books is making me kinda sick too...)
Oops I'm reading The Wrath and The Dawn right now 😂
Totally agree with your list
