- ⭐ Hello guys, today I have a little Read With Me video - where I will be reading Fourth Wing with you guys!
This is a real time video of me reading, that you can listen to and put on in the background, so that we can spend some time reading together. There is no talking or music, so it is relaxing, peaceful, and calm. It is great as some white noise / background noise, with asmr page flipping, underlining, highlighting, reactions, and giggles. There are also captions on screen, to give you some of my thoughts and opinions about the book, as well as other reading thoughts e.g. how I pick up a book, why I might pick up a book, popular tiktok books, fantasy, romatasy, and spice. So grab your own copy of Fourth Wing or whatever book you're reading, sit back, relax, and let's get reading!
Thanks for watching, I hope you enjoyed 🤍
My channel mainly focuses on these quiet and peaceful videos. Focused on content around books, art and studying 🌼🌱

![[ASMR] books that I have read this year! | satisfying tingles, peaceful and relaxing](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/Ny56Duy5BtM/mqdefault.jpg)
absolutely loved this book, i actually think it's one of the best books i've ever read! i really hope you will love it too!! 💕
I enjoyed my time reading this, and absolutely flew through it! The quick pace kept me engaged, and honestly I really like the world. It's definitely not one of my favourites as I felt like some of the emotions were a bit up and down for me, and I wish I felt more connected to the characters. That being said, this is great for a light-hearted, entertaining read - I binged the majority of it. After I finished this, I went to binge Iron Flame - which I didn't hate. But I definitely think the first book is tighter and more concise.
💕 I would love to hear your thoughts about the book, and what made you think it is one of the best books you have read? :)
@@koicoww to me the story and characters were just amazing! i was always on edge while reading, i was constantly excited! i cried and laughed and felt like i was a part of the world, it made me wish that dragons existed! it just all fit together so well for me :) but i have to say i only read the first 100 pages of iron flame but it just didn't really catch me :( my plan is to reread fourth wing and then iron flame right after! 💕
@@hannalovespink That makes sense! There's definitely a lot of action that goes on that is exciting, and it was cool seeing Violet complete these activities and succeed. It did also make me want to bond with a dragon haha. For me, it was also a great introduction to romantasy, and gave me a taste of the things that I liked and didn't like. I'm not sure how much fantasy you read, though I remember you liking some Russian lit too, but if you know of any books like Fourth Wing, I'm open to suggestions as it did make me eager to read more.
The beginning of Iron Flame is definitely slower than Fourth Wing, and the length of it is daunting, so that makes sense. I will say that a lot does happen in that book, but also doesn't - so, I think it's a great idea to reread the first book, and revisit it later. Plus, there is no rush to read it right now. As I read them back to back, I think it helped me continue on with the story and already feel immersed into the world. So, when the third book comes out next year, I wouldn't be surprised if I go back to them both (maybe not reread, but just remind myself of them), as so many things occurred.
Like you said, I like the world that Yarros created, so it makes me want to continue with series. Plus, it's just a entertaining, fun read. I say fun, but I also cried over one of the characters 💕I think the books are a guilty pleasure series for me
What are your thoughts about this book? :)
for romantasy, i think you might really enjoy "this is how you lose the time war" ! it's short and has those subtleties like you mentioned :)
as for spice in books... i generally don't like it because i find it too corny lol, i think a lot of people write it in a way i don't enjoy :/ in theory it could be a fun narrative tool, esp if it's relevant to the character and the story (i've actually seen ao3 writers be more masterful about this than published authors) but i've yet to run into a full on graphic smut scene in a book that i've liked
⭐
Ooh I have heard of that one! Though, I didn't know it was classed as a romantasy :O All I kind of know about it is that I should go in blind when reading it, as to not spoil anything. Plus, I will probably cry whilst reading haha. Now that you have mentioned it, it's definitely higher on my tbr list.
I agree about the spice. I think it can be okay if done right, but a lot of the time I find it to be overpowering or not match the tone of voice of the rest of the book. So, I'm not sure what's going on with all the spice these days.
I rather the subtitles in relationships, like when someone holds hands with someone else, buys them their own boat, and invites their family over - that's the stuff that makes me scream LMAO.
you're a ⭐
@@koicoww
exactly, it never matches the tone and it's just like "what is this doing here" bc it's just pages and pages of intimacy and it feels like we as the reader don't really need that lol ... i think booktok readers don't realize there is wattpad for stuff like that ._.
and AHHHHH exactly ldkjsklj and this is why kaz/inej will always be famous.
@@strawberrysunhat Literally! When the pages just go on and on, I think please just fade to black already!!!! It sometimes ruins the whole immersion for me, because why am I there watching ;-; it's crazy
Dude, that line is everything
@@koicoww LITERALLYYYTHEJDJ like why am i WATCHING 😭😭😭 esp when it has nothing to do with the story! for example, if it’s a romance novel and the character is overcoming issues with intimacy, and some of the scenes are uniquely describing how they overcome those with their partner, i’d actually find that interesting and would enjoy reading it as it’s relevant and actually part of the story…. it’s not just randomly inserted intimacy
the fight scene was so painful… to say “if you really cared about me, you wouldn’t follow” and then know what inej would ignore that and come anyway… they can read each other like a book. it’s especially gratifying bc at the beginning of the book, inej doesn’t really know where kaz stands with her and it’s the only reason van eck let her legs not get chopped off??? to go from that to what they have at the end….
and honestly that’s interesting bc i would agree, it’s the relationships between the crows that make the series. i do wonder if that might be diminished by a lower stakes setting like high school or college though… and frankly speaking the shadow and bone romance was nothing compared to six of crows romance. even her writing style improved by leaps and bounds, i found it difficult to believe it was the same author!
@@strawberrysunhat Yeah, a lot of the time it feels like it's just been added in for some type of fanservice or for the authors fantasies. So, it is what it is, I'll just skim read lmao
Every time you add in extra details, it hurts me even more, because they really are like that. They hurt me so much. It's even when he always does a quick look over her to check if she's been hurt or to be honest I don't even know why he looked at Inej at the end of Six of Crows (I thought she knew something, but she didn't) but I guess it's because she's his safe space / the person he relies on. And like you mentioned, about her not knowing whether she'll be of any use to him if they broke her legs, absolutely broke my heart. I mean, as the audience we knew that wasn't true, but the doubt within herself is devastating. Their whole relationship could've gone south, but they tried their best. It's literally making me emotional thinking about how they could've miscommunicated and sabotaged their whole thing, but they knew each other so well, and gave each other space, but still needed each other. I'm going to go throw up
Yeah, I hear you about that. There needs to be something else going on that builds interest, for example in this series, each one of their histories plays a big role in giving context to the situation. Although, a bit trope-y, I'd like to see her tackle something like childhood friends to lovers or something - so there's still the history between them, but of course times have changed and they have changed. Who knows if she ever will write a romance, as her name really strives in the fantasy genre, but I wish it was a side novel she released haha, like an indie passion project. I still think I will check out Shadow and Bone at some point, but it's interesting that you mention her improvement / change in writing. I might even check out her newer novels like Ninth House/ Hellbent or her new novel The Familiar, before then too. I'm curious, as I've heard good things about Ninth House?
