I’m dead, haven’t read any of the ACOTAR books myself but as soon as you whipped out the notes app of grievances I felt SEEN
Here for the ACOTAR slander 😂
Omw, you had me literally cackling listening to your ACOTAR critique 😂😂
"maybe don't bake eugenics into your social hierarchies" - dead, absolutely dead 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
i am SCREAMING i did not think you would get to the other side of the compliment sandwich 🤣 i haven’t read it and don’t intend to but your points are so valid
haha it took a MINUTE but we got there
The video quality looks SO GOOD in this video!! You look amazing, as does your lumme sweater!
also the notes app list of grievances for ACOTAR is so real, I could only make it through book 1 so I applaud you for making it so far 😂
It's so refreshing to hear well thought out criticism about ACOTAR, instead of listening to everyone gushing about how "hot" and "well written" it is.
ok there aren't even that many smut scenes! 90% of book three is war strategy!
Gf I am soooooo with you on the acotar qualms (the cauldron being A CAULDRON truly is the worst thing I can possibly imagine), but I still enjoyed them so much looool
Great episode! The lighting and this setup is so beautiful and the lumme is breathtaking!
if the cauldron has 0 haters I am dead!
Well done on the color work sweater! Carrying the pattern grafting is impressive. I’d vote for leaving the neck as is , it compliments the color work pattern 🫶🏻
I haven't read ACOTAR, but your commentary was epic!
Your finished sweater looks so good! I live in Florida and definitely don't need have a thick color work sweater but I need to make that sweater. Also I LOVE when you talk about media, I haven't ever consumed any of the media you talked about but I like listening to people talk about "silly" things they are passionate about. I mean silly in the best way possible like light-hearted or fun.
LOVE the complaining and ranting and reveling 😂 I’m in the same boat as you where I had some gripes with ACOTAR, but generally felt entertained. I’m working through the Throne of Glass Series and finding that I’m not as enthralled, but it is also 8 books…we shall see…On the note of the KNITTING!!! I love your Lumme and the high contrast looks so good on you!
Great job with the sweater surgery! 🙌
Very much appreciated the real talk about ACOTAR. I rolled my eyes so much at the “vulgar gestures” and the telepathic conversations. “Vulgar gesture” conjured up memories of Ross’ “friendly finger” fist bang from Friends.
I love my weekend hat! I didn't do the double fold because I felt it would be too bulky. I also shortened it because I like the rounded look - cant wait to see yours, love the green!
Lumme (you pronounce it like loom-meh) is the water lily in Finnish! Love the jumper, the colourwork is so delicious with that contrast 😍
😂😂😂 love the acotar rip apart, cherry on top of another great podcast
I have no idea what books you are talking about but I am just here for your grievances about it. I love your personality!! Now I want to do this with books I read. LOL
Came for the knitting, stayed for the hilarious ACOTAR review 😂 You have a new subscriber here! 👋
No idea what this book series is, but I’m dying listening to your review 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 I’m obsessed
"You're like, 'am I still watching a knitting video?'"
I didn't even question it tbh, this is the stuff I talk about while I'm knitting with friends anyway
YUP I am also trying SJM because everyone has peer pressured me into it. Started with Throne of Glass. I get the hype but you are so right on the CYA point. She writes whatever wish fulfillment she wants and then tries to randomly cover it up and make it okay. Like... the king in this book is evil because he killed so many people.... but the main character is an assassin who has just casually killed a shit ton of people her whole life. We just don't care about those ones as much bc they happened before the book started. Girl...
Your ACOTAR sandwich was so good
You have to read Mistborn!!! The magic and universe are so good.
As someone who hasn't read any of the ACOTAR books I loved your review and no longer feel like I'm missing out on anything. I like watching fantasy but make it make sense. Also the last fantasy book I have read was probably harry potter too lol
If you haven't heard about that yet, there will be a KAL for the Lento starting on the 6th April from... Laine! I think!
Also thanks for sharing your thoughts on ACOTAR, as a """fantasy girly""" I, too, am not a fan and it's nice to hear someone from the knitting community share those views once in a while!
oh this is great to know!! thanks!
the compliment sandwich i'm dying!! i like the acotar books but everything you said is correct 😂 it has so many issues and pretty much every character is the worst with no impulse control (honestly this is just what sjm's characters are all like, the more i think about it the more characters i'm adding to my mental list). i much prefer the throne of glass series, but there are honestly better fantasy or romantasy series with better queer and bipoc rep
Came for the projects stayed for the ACOTAR slander
I really like how the lumme sweater neck looks on you, when you folded it I thought it was too short
another thing not related, your video looks crisp today
Your ACOTAR commentary omg 😂 part of me thinks you’d really enjoy Throne of Glass but wouldn’t blame you for walking away from SJM! Your Lumme is beautiful!! And I think the Lavender Lanark will be amazinggg
Amazing amazing! The lumme jumper is so gorgeous on you like YOU MADE THAT?!! Also I am so here for ACOTAR slander it is yucccckkk 😂 and I will say I appreciate the next book I read after Acotar because the writing was so terrible like girl stop using the SAME PHRASES OVER AND OVER! Anyway great video Mandy 🎉
I love the look of the colorwork sweater
Great job on grafting your Lumme sleeves.
i think the height of the collar is nice & looks very modern
For really good fantasy with a solid female protagonist and less focus on romance, try the Mistborn trilogy by Brandon Sanderson. :)
Your lumme makes me want to make my own! And for the marla…. Maybe a pressed flowers cardigan?
Did you get a new camera? You look SO GOOD. Also the lumme 🤌🏼🤌🏼😍
i've been using the cinematic mode on my iphone and it has made a world of a difference. thank you!
@@knitsbymandy girl YES it seriously looks amazing
Absolutely cannot get enough of your videos - feels like I’m hanging out with my pal! I hope this doesn’t come across dickish but we pronounce Lanark as ‘LANark’ (emphasis on the first syllable)
Lots of love from Scotland 🏴❤️
I appreciate the correction! Thanks for watching!
It will look great in an inclination cowl
Ahaha I really enjoyed the Acotar critique. I love fantasy but I read the blurbs for Acotar and it sounds too romancy/fan fictiony for me.
Ok so I'm not crazy. I heard all the hype about SJM and tried (my very best) to listen to House of earth and blood (only book of hers the audio book app I use has). I tried until my husband made me to stop due to my CONSTANT moaning.
Why is everyone so muscular, toned, tanned, fit... and it is mentioned in like every other sentence? "Yeah we need to talk about the violence spreading in the town" she said while staring at his muscular body that was perfectly tanned to liquid gold. "Yes, these are dire times" he answered, while looking at her perfect cleavage, smooth hips and endless legs that attached to her fit, toned body that she liked to show wearing skin tight mini dress. I maybe made that up, but that is all my mental notes of the book after 13 hours I used listening to it.
Edit: ok I read maybe this later serie has much more if this... nonsense.
okay I forgot a scene where the main love interests get it on in a WAR CAMP it’s truly wild
I’m reading acotar (on the last book right now) and omg… the hype is really exaggerated hahaha. Don’t get me wrong, I appreciate the books but they are far from my top books. Lots of things make no sense and idk how I feel either with the love circles haha. Book #2 is also my favorite.
Okay, belated, but don't judge all of fantasy by SJM! There's a lot of variety out there beyond what's super popular right now, though obvi it's fine if it's not your thing at all and you don't feel any kind of pull towards magical worlds and stories.
Yes! Definitely not trying to speak/judge on an entire genre, have seen some other great fantasy recs in the comments :)
oh hello video quality 👏not sure if you got a ring light or something but the lighting in this video is amazing! love your content btw, I just binged all your videos like a tv series (knits by mandy as a reality tv show perhaps)
just tried a new setting on my iphone! thanks so much for watching!
I need your thoughts on the traitors finale!!
Loved that CT won! I know some people were upset that he and Trishelle voted MJ out, but I thought it was great TV!
@@knitsbymandy same! I watched with my mom and she felt so bad for MJ, but I was living for the drama
may I make a fantasy recommendation... "mist born" series by Brandon Sanderson. Much better development of the supernatural that happens in the world. more like a big kids fantasy read,,,like the author realizes that the reader is smart.
Also, SJM used Breonna Taylor’s death to advertise a book release 🤷🏼♀️
I haven’t read ACOTAR and I was honestly not really interested. Your review validated my choice not to read it. It sounds just as… not great as I thought it was. 😂
