Girl I 100% about Celaena’s character, she was so annoying! She was like “I could rip his throat out without even batting an eye” “I could break every bone in his body in 2 1/2 seconds” like BUT WHERE THOUGH??
Hard agree. I remember waiting for her to rip some guys throat out and then being disappointed when that didn’t happen. Also when she would be like “Yea the tournament was cool, two people died, whatever. Anyway check out these dresses.” The tournament was the interesting part and she would gloss over it in two sentences!
@@madisonvava8342 Omg 💀💀 Totally agree, I swear the whole book was just her chilling in the castle and the actual exciting parts of the story were summarised in two sentences at the start of each chapter.
I read until the middle of the third book and she hadnt impressed me much so I just dropped the series. The entirety of the second book was just her pretending to kill people while instead just helping them flee the country. Like her only job is to be an assassin and I still havent read about her actually killing people lmao
@@abdrox2 omg exactly what I thought and I only read it because I bought it and the spanish version is really expensive and I hate it ☹️ I've already gave the books as a gift because I will never read them again
Oh so true. Same with ACOTAR. Funny thing is, not only the fans, th3 characters also think they're the best thing walking on earth. They're laughably narcissistic and entitled.
@@unprofessionalcritic3107 Even when I myself was a fan, the charcters were always so arrogant and obnoxious. There was only 2 or 3 that didn't make me want to beat my head against a wall whenever they open their mouths
i used to be one of those fans :(( i’d buy all of sjm’s books and wouldn’t hear a negative word about her or them. idk what happened or why but something finally snapped in the middle of empire of storms and i was like “ok what the fuck am i reading” 💀💀 i finished tog and acotar for a conclusion’s sake but i’m good on the rest lol i’ve been delivered.
lily: i don’t think anyone’s out here “thinking throne of glass, best series of all time, literary masterpiece, ticks every box” me realizing that that’s literally how i would’ve described it a couple years ago: 👁👄👁
The first 3 books of throne of glass are actually not bad really. I had the same complaints on the first book, Celeana was all talk with nothing to back it up. 4th book on, it just falls off a cliff.
The thing about throne of glass is that after you read the third book the first 2 literally don't matter at all. Like at all. Even character development goes out of the window
This! I actually liked the second book, but the third was meh and book four was a total train wreck :S stopped reading after that... I hate what SJM does to some of her characters
Julia Stetter Do u guys buy physical books? I want to get into reading again but I'd rather buy a digital subscription of books then maybe buy physical copies that I can display in my room instead of buying every single book I want to read but end up not liking it. How do you guys read?
@@MoMo-ob9xw I got the ebooks for cheap, really glad I didn't spent any serious money on these... Usually I buy physical books, but only if I think I'm actually going to like them. And if I end up not enjoying them I just sell them :)
I highly recommend reading Crown of Midnight. Yes, it's still trash but it really brings what little was enjoyable in ToG to the forefront. It actually has a plot, acts like the love triangle never even happened, doesn't only talk about action but actually has tons of it, and makes Celaena a more interesting character. Also, there are TONS of twists and turns.
Continue the series, you’re gonna love it! For all that Celaena talks in the first book, she actually will blow your mind (and half the continent) in future books. Also, there is a reason why she’s trying to remain lowkey. As for the love triangle... just continue reading. The first two books are mostly about the three of them having fun in Adarlan, getting to know each other, and those are the books in which they make their “happy” memories about the “good old days” when they were all aloof about what’s going on in their world and what awaits them. There will be a lot of new characters and a lot of character development for the original cast in future books. You will not regret it!
The MC enters a public competition to become the king's private personal assassin. Did Sarah j Maas ever realise how stupid that premise even is?!? Think about it. It's a PUBLIC competition!! Just how effective would an assassin be after winning a public competition??? Answer: NOT VERY!
You're by far the most entertaining/fun to watch book reviewer on YT. It's not even what you say (and I happen to agree with great majority of it), but the way you present it. Very, very cute. Way to go; keep it up; you've got your new YT subscriber. See you in your next video!
I always say if you start throne of glass you should start w the assassins blade. Celaena in throne of glass is recovering from a year of forced labor and starvation and all she particularly has left is her talk, but as the books go on and she gets her strength back you see why she is the way she is. She trained since she was 9 and we see her at 18 when the series starts so as we see her become stronger it is an earned strength but it’s also like you have to understand that aspect of it yknow
Same thought, it would look forced if we see her in tog suddenly shift into this strong woman that she once was. I like that it was a gradual process...
my issue with throne of glass is the first two books are like semi enjoyable but then the story takes a gigantic twist into fae nonsense realm and it was awful
Exactly. It could have been good if SJM just stuck with royalty/war/politics themes but she just had to add Fae. All the magic was completely unnecessary and ruined the potential of the series
Not even five minutes before this was uploaded and I got the notification about it was I just thinking of how excited I was for your next video. 😄 Thank you for reading my mind and giving me more of your lovely content to enjoy. You’re one of my favorite TH-camrs by far. ☺️
Good morning Lily. Seeing that title put a smile on my face lol. I was waiting for this, thanks. Also, happy late birthday, I hope you had a nice day ;)
I haven't read ToG yet, cause I read Assassins Blade first, thanks to a recommendation to read it before ToG. And I'm glad I did, cause it shows Celina's backstory and she does a lot of stuff.
Everyone seems to be saying with Throne of Glass "You should read Assassin's Blade first, it's much better if you read Assassin's Blade," and all I'm thinking is "Then Assassin's Blade should have been the first book in the series, not a bunch of prequel short stories."
EXACTLY! And if it "gets better after the third book" why are there book 1 and book 2?! If you want me to invest in a series, atleast make sure you do the first ones well. First impressions matter (atleast for me)
Happy helluh belated birthday! 🎉 I've actually never heard anyone call ToG trash. They usually act like it's one of the best YA fantasies, and I've been putting it off for years. But why does hearing it's trash make me wanna finally read it? 😭
i had a feeling you were gonna post this week. also what is your work from home job? due to a few neurological issues i’d really love to work from home.
I’m on book 4 Rn and I really recommend it I’m a ftr and I’m loving it! The books get way better as you go, book 1-3 are just set up book but shit gets real after
To be honest, i feel like would not like throne of glass that much if i haven't read assassin's blade before it. The writing and celaena was better in assassin's blade... But I won't be that kind of reader who will give a book a low rating just because I don't like the protagonist/character...
I’m reading it now but after book 3 and I do think this is a better way of reading it because it expects you to know who she is straight up and doesn’t give the back story of her like in books 1-3. Personal choice but I found it good to formally meet her and then dive deeper into her past later on once you understand her current character and in TAB you learn why she’s that way.
Please tell me you're gonna continue with the Throne of Glass series! I live for your commentary/review. (and yes, I love the series but I'm well aware of what it is - but books 3 especially helped me so much, so always gonna love it)
This series got better and better to me... but I still don’t like what Maas did with our girl and Rowan versus, say, Chaol or Dorian. And Dorian ended up being my favorite. The best thing in this series to me was the powerful sense of friendship/fellowship by the end, along with the final battles.
I'm currently reading the fifth book and I know the series is not that good and most of the characters are kinda annoying, but it still is really entertaining. Sarah j Maas other book series is, in my opinion, way better and actually good (even though I still could have done without a few scenes which were kinda cringy)
So I didn't know the second book was an actual book so I thought it would be a rant about people making lily read a bad book and then when the intro came and I saw the jacket from that first rant video from years ago I really thought shit was about to go down lmao
I have totally the same opinion about Throne of glass. The first one wasn't as bad but like there's so many after them and not as good that I was kind of just like meh lost interest 🤭
the story does get better as you go through the series, trash or not I love the series. The worst part of Because you love to hate me was Christine's, it just seemed like a rambling mess.
I remember my old supervisor telling me about this series of books. It sounded interesting and I picked up the first book. I had to force myself to get past half of it before giving up and returning it. The book was just do bloody boring and annoying.
Oh yes! I was waiting for the ToG book review and I share quite a few points as well. It was not a good one. If you’re an assassin for almost a decade of your life and then go to actual forced labor, you shouldn’t be acting like a normal teenager. Ever. It just makes zero sense to be irritated at the stupidest things, explode over something as stupid as a missed target to that extent or walk into walls because you’re so extremely unguarded that you’re literally falling a sleep around a stranger. The terrible characterization in my opinion is what ruined this book for me and ultimately made me put a stop on ever continuing. Half-assed bs of its gets better after x amount of books still doesn’t erase the awful books in the series till then. I put off on reading the anthology, but you made me really interested to see how I’ll feel about the stories when I personally get to them so most likely going to read that one after I finish The Beast Warrior as a break between the planned TBR for August and September.
iT gEtS bETteR aFtEr tHe miLioNtH bOOk. No thanks. why'd I have to endure thousands of pages of bad writing and poor characterization to get to the good (questionable though) part if I have already lost faith in the author? I have actually finished ACOTAR series because the stans say the second book is the best thing written on earth. and I still thought it was of poor quality.
Zisha Tanzila Zisha Tanzila EXACTLY!! The amount of time I spend reading less series could be spent on series that actually impress me from the start.That kind of gate keeping needs to stop. I hate hate overhyped books, creating even more unrealistic expectations for an author that so polarizing is just a recipe for disaster.
Yeah, I had to quit after the second book of TOG, it was just so bad writing and very poorly done action scenes. Celeana was annoying and a total Mary Sue. And yes actually the fans of Sarah J Maas for some reason think it's the BEST SERIES EVAH and praised it like it's game of thrones or something. They do it with her other series too, ACOTAR, also about "faes" (can't she write about other mythical creatures? seriously) I don't get the hype about it.
I agree, there is nothing specifically unique about her books. The writing style is cringey, the characters are unlikable as heck, the plot is not exceptional, just okay. Especially, the male character's they're all the same. If people enjoy her books, I have no problem, but please accept that it has problems and that not everyone likes them.
