I started The Will of the Many a while ago but wasn't in the mood. I knew I had to put it down and pick it back up at the right time to give it its fair chance. You've definitely validated that decision, and it's pushed up my TBR!!
The Four Winds was the first Kristin Hannah book I read and I was so confused why people loved her so much, so I feel you there. I often find that she researches everything that people dealt with during the time period she’s writing about and has them all happen to the main character.
I’m so glad to hear you had all the same feelings towards The Four Winds that I did! It was my first Kristen Hannah book and I was soooo disappointed with the ending. I felt like it was all this build up for absolutely nothing. But also thanks to you I have read The Women since then and loved that one so now I know not all Kirsten Hannah books are this sad.
@@witandlearning thank you thank you!! This one was actually from a temu order 😂 but I LOVE enchanted oddities or house of Jupiter for merch in general!
I think you will like If you could see the sun even more. It has more of a twist to it, and it's also cute and interesting. If you could see the sun is my favourite book by Ann Liang.❤
So glad you picked up The Will of the Many! Been looking forward to your review:) I got to about the 200 pg mark and took a break, but I am planning on finishing it.
I have read so many books in the genre similar to that of Kristin Hannah.. That is why i would really recommend you to read Khaled Hosseini. He has three books,i have read two of them and they have a beautiful bittersweet ending that leaving you smiling but aching. As someone who has watched all your reading and book vlogs,i think you would love his writing.
I have to agree with your thoughts on The Four Winds. She did a fantastic job of bringing the struggles of that time to life. It did get monotone after a while and I almost DNF'd it near the end because of it, but I decided since I was so close to finishing that I could do it. The ending was a bit of a letdown,
The thumbnail 😂 I love it. I haven’t had a 5 star since July either! But I have had a lot of 4 stars that I’ve enjoyed. I hope you read ‘I Hope This Doesn’t Find you’ by Ann Liang, I really liked that one!
Hello all, friendly reminder to diversify your reading, such as supporting authors that are people of color❤ my personal favorite bipoc authors include Talia Hibbert, George M Johnson, Aiden Thomas, Karla Cornejo Villavicencio, Ann Liang, Bell Hooks, Octavia E Butler, and Susan Abulhawa❤
I enjoyed The Will of the Many the whole way through, but I did not decide it was 5 stars until that last chapter. It set my theory crafting right off! The Strength of the Few is now my most anticipated release for 2025.
Great video. I’m going to be honest, I was considering reading The Will Of The Many, but your explanation, although was intended to explain things, just killed my desire to read it. Not your fault, I’m very glad you did it, made me realize this book is not my cup of tea. I’m not a Sci Fi girl, hate cliffhangers and usually get bored by books that lack at least a small romance plot in there. So, right now? It’s a no for me, even with the amazing reviews. Maybe in the future? As the series progresses… Who knows… Will immediately add This time it’s real to my TBR though, never read this author before, I’m very intrigued. Kristen Hannah is an author that I’m avoiding this year, as I just can’t deal with sad books. Again: amazing video! 🙏🏻👏🏻
Hi!! I recently found your channel and I’ve been meaning to get to the will of the many but it’s chunky😂 and I dnfed the four winds ngl but I love the women and the great alone. I need to read more Kristin Hannah
2:48 I actually have the same problem as your friend, except that I rate a lot of books 3-4 stars but never 5 star (and I don't really know why). Anything that could be 2 stars or below, I don't even read 😂⭐
I'm not sure if you would 5 star it but I recently read what Alice forgot by Liane Moriarty and I love her writing. Then I read nine perfect strangers and also liked that a lot. So I recommend her.
I just read my first Kristen Hannah book and I felt like she was doing her characters dirty with all the trauma she had them go through 😅😂 I can handle sad books and movies, I can handle hard topics, but I just felt that at a certain point, it felt like I was being emotionally manipulated for maybe no good reason. I could understand how some people might really get swept up and enjoy this type of novel, especially since I find her writing is well crafted while remaining accessible. But I don’t think I will be the person for her books. With that said, I will be adding the Will of the Many on my list as a longtime scifi girlie
I usually LOVE her books! But I also love books that make me cry 😂 the four winds just didn’t hit for me like the rest. I hope you love the Will of the many as much as I did!!
I feel the same, I have a total of 5 five star books this year out of 57 books I have read 😅. It is really concerning 😂. Though I had a lot of 4.5 stars 😊.
If you liked the Will of the Many, you should definitely try the Red Rising saga! For me, the two have a very similar pretext, but Red Rising was even better executed than the Will of the Many :)
what books do you think I’d rate a 5⭐️?
maybe something by taylor jenkins reid
@@chin_88 oh LOVE HER! There are still quite a few of her older books I haven’t read yet!
The dagger and the flame is SO good. Great writing and world building with side plot of romance
