i've had a lot of thoughts about this book for a long time, but haven't really known how to talk about it. i think i more or less got it all out, but maybe we'll have to do a part two at some point. what are your thoughts on fourth wing and the controversy surrounding it? do you think it deserves the hate/praise it gets? october reading wrap-up: ruclips.net/video/BTwFHpG0CxU/видео.html i'm on b...

    You are one of my recent favorite RUclipsrs🤍🤍 I feel very similarly to you about Fourth Wing! I definitely feel like it is overhyped for what it is, but it also got me out of a huge reading slump. I feel exactly the same way about ACOTAR. I hadnt read in literal years, and ACOTAR kickstarted me beginning to read again, and starting a bookstagram account! I will forever be thankful to both of them, just for that🤍

    Omg yes. From blood and ash was so... ugh. I really liked the idea for it, you know, the maiden who should not be touched or looked at and a romance with the guard, but... I couldnt stand Hawke. He behaved like a horny teenager, his every joke and almost every conversation was sex/horny/flirty related. They had ONE conversation, ONE that wasnt even that deep, but from that one they started to mention all the time how they "feel as if they know each other for ages". Just...no. Maybe Rhysand longing for Feyre for 54 chapters has risen my standards, but Hawke was such a disappointment. Their relationship was flatter than Earth viewed by a flatearth-believer. Gosh

    I read the first two chapters of Powerless and didn't like it. It annoyed me that there was a 'hook' in the first sentence that turned out to not be true. She thinks there's blood but it's actually honey. It felt like clickbait so I gave it up.

    I really wanted to give blood and ash series a serious try, I love vampire stuff. the first book definitely had some improvement points, but I enjoyed it. second book got so slow and repetitive and during the third book I dropped the serie at the point where poppy got saved and I thought she was dreaming because it happened so easy and out of nowhere, and I was hoping for Poppy to work something out herself, that's when I litterally threw the book away

      @olivesbooknook 2 дня назад

      Yeah I think PWMOV is a pretty bad representation of her work. My favorite of hers is Happy Place - I also really love Beach Read. Beach Read feels more like a classic romance, Happy Place feels more like an emotional study on different types of relationships (with yes, some romance in there). I even enjoy most of her other books, Book Lovers and Funny Story but wow….there’s a pretty large gap for me with People We Meet on Vacation.

    Some of these books I was gonna get, but I might pass on them now, so thanks for your opinions on them! I definitely agree with you on Powerless, too. I actually looooved Powerless and Reckless, simply because it was a fun book. However, it was way too similar to Hunger Games, felt very cliche and copy-paste for a lot of parts, there wasn't as much emotional depth as I would have wanted, and I agree: the writing style was younger then I thought. I enjoy most YA books I read because I really dont expect much going into them 😂. I read them to get out of a slump and to have a fun, easy read and that's what I get most of the time. Sometimes they exceed my exceptions, and other times the "faults" are too much to allow me to enjoy the book. But yeah, my book preferences are just a bit different from YA, so I dont expect soooo much from them

    This was so enjoyable to listen to! Your husband is hilarious and all of his references to things cracked me up. It was also really interesting how much he was able to, like, distill down to the basics of why so many people love this series (easy to follow, fun characters, makes you want to read on, etc.). The way he described his thoughts was really insightful. I feel like I’ve personally been more negative about the series over time, but it really reminded me of why I truly loved the first book so much when it came out. Very excited to see his opinions on the next book(s)!!

Let me know if you’ve ever heard of the book, I’m 300pages in and I’m still on the fence between loving it and not liking it at all.
