More Linburg 😜 just putting in my humble request after last week’s episode. She was fab - intelligent and clearly gels well with you 3

What’s crazy is what I remember about this series ISN’T IN THIS BOOK. I thought the big scary thing happened in this book, it’s the next one. I think even the big reason I love this series is…how things happen after the next book. You guys have to do the Queen of Atolia. Maybe not the whole series, but at least the next one. Please!

As a young girl who didn’t known she was a lesbian I really feel Will. I was obsessed with the queen. I tried to reread it recently and remembered that the queen of atolia is either better or just has more of the queen. lol.

Maria in that top 😍😍😍 Engagement comment!!

The basic plot sounds similar to the Hobbit to me. Here's my comment for your algorithm.🥰❤️

the dynamic's all wrong, will's the one who liked it and maria's the hater and katie's the one in the middle, what is happening

Scared and intrigued by Will taking up the defence 😮

I LOVE this series. I agree that the traveling does wear on a bit long but it was the first book I ever read where I had no complaints about the plot and the characters, and just thought to myself “that was a good book”. the second book is AMAZING as a follow up PLEASE KEEP READING

Read This book a couple of years ago and Im 100% with Maria. Boring until THE LAST FOURTH WHY??

commenting for the algorithm ❤

Interesting

omg watching you guys talk about the thief was almost painful. like,, i had the exact same problems with the first book being too slow but now that i've read the whole series and it's my favourite the first book has become a comfort book. so i'm like,,, what do you mean, why don't you love it???? lmao i'll say book 3 and then book 2 are my favourites of the series, so i think if you do read it you'll probably like them more?

I beg you to read the rest of it! I read it during quarantine and it was AMAZING! It keeps getting better and better each book

Please continue the series!!!!!!!! I've read it all this year and absolutely loved it, well for the first book I had to keep reminding myself it was written in the 90s for children, but it was ok. Also it helped to have some spoilers because I'd read all the blurbs.

Based on Maria and Katie's reception of the book, i get the feeling that "Thick as Thieves" would work so much better for them since it's similar to "The Thief" but improves on things so much more and doesn't have the same issues. Also it's my favorite book of this series so it'd be great if they read up to that point! EDIT: oomph, Katie's recounting of the scene of Gen in the room with the gods gave me the same chills I got when I read that scene. It still lingers with me to this day for how well it was written.

Perfect, i need a reminder before i finally read book 2

Omg bizzaro will!!! Yay!!!!

UGH HORSES. I hate horses in stories. They absolutely take over every scene they are in and I am not here for that.

I read this series last year and I loved it! I agree with your comments but ultimately enjoyed it. She should have combined the first and second book bc the gods thing goes nowhere here but it becomes a push and pull of the gods wanting him to do stuff and gen saying no. İf we weren't hiding gens identity from the audience we could have had pol remind him of his dad, and when he died a goddess could have appeared and told gen to look to strike some fear in him abt the coming conflict. I will say İ appreciate in retrospect that we got a chance to see inside gens head bc later on the pov gets more and more removed from him and we have to rely on our knowledge of him to know what he's thinking.

"Please stop"? More like "please keep going" judging from this thumbnail 😈

My Friday has been made. I've been wanting you all to read this series! 😭

A lot of people aren't big fans of the first book either; it’s more like a prologue. But the sequels make the entire series worth it. One of my all time faves.

Katie your hair looks gorg!! 🤭

about halfway through and will defending the book is so crazy lol! i 🤍 this podcast!!

I might read this series... I was hoping the author had another series after she had more experience but this is it.

Read this in middle school and loved it

Looking forward to an interesting analysis and review from you guys as always 😊

the cold opens of these videos are really what I always come back to seminal moment 🙏🙏

I don't usually get in a comment so early. Looking forward to some weird dissonance here as Will defends a book.

eenjoyed! excellent traveling! =)

Petition to send lemons to Norway. One like equals 10 lemons.

1:55:32 honestly by the end of this I just can’t believe the love interest wasn’t abusive

26:53 is my timestamp for future me

Is anyone else bothered by how eloquent Freye is considering she is illiterate? This girl has not read a single book in her entire life, she does not know words like "mesmerizing". If you're going to write in first person, from her pov shouldn't the prose be very plain, very matter-of-fact?

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, if you can so easily file off the serial numbers are you even really writing fanfiction? I fall into Will’s line of thinking. Glad to be seen

It feels Jenna doesn't understand that people aren't born the way they are as adults. People are products of not only their nature, mostly good, and their nurture, the trama and life they live. Like the systems, culture, and status a person is raised in makes them who they become. And its like Jenna doesn't get that cus shes talked about Casima and just said that "people didn't pick up on the fact that shes just a bitch". Which is interesting cus how did you end up that way. The characters are so flat that Stanley is jealous and the world is so devoid of anything that there are huge chunks of it that haven't rendered yet.

Jeremy is Hux!!! It’s so that its Gingerrose too

Great review as always

The entire concept of this book sounds very straightforward, and for Colleen to not even do any ounce of research into people who were formerly incarcerated is wild to me!

Lady Anne? Did you play Persona recently? :D

The thing is Tamlin was a great character actually; we saw him in the first book when everybody tells us he's not even the shadow of what he was, but he is still a good leader and a good friend for everyone. Finally in the second book we see him full power, but NO! WAIT! He's now more traumatized than before! But who cares because he can't read minds (also 3 months is a stupidly short time space for literal inmortal beings). I feel that we never got to see the real happy Tamlin except for the calanmai scene where he plays and dances (such a cute scene in my opinion, and everyone says it's cringe because it's not Rhysand). Also the summer court part... oof man... poor Tarquin

I just finished the book, and I have a goal of reading every Hugo award winner and nominee. I was very angry that the ending changed narrators, and it felt like a long time to get to an unresolved ending.

Please do Verity, I would love your reactions

I was in my late teens when this series came out. A few years ago I happened to find the whole set on eBay for super cheap and scooped it up to read with my mom. We read it together in 07 and kept talking about how good it was and how we wanted to reread it ever since, and now we get to.

I'll be honest: At some point I forgot the kid's name was Diem so I was hearing Will and Maria say "DM" a lot and was just thinking of dungeon master. Have never given a Colleen book or book video the time of day before but for Unresolved Textual Tension I'll make an exception.

You're my favorite podcast, but at times listening to you is really hard to enjoy because of the bad audio quality :( I think it is Maria in general who speaks too far away from the microphone.

I love that moment where you as the reader go "oh he has a smartphone." Pause. "*Oh. He has a smartphone.*"

The name "Scotty" was ruined for me and I didn't even know until now. Every time Scotty is mentioned, I hear the song "Scotty Doesn't Know" from Europtrip in my head.

Speaking of which, I heard It Ends with Us is getting a movie adaptation...

Please read November 6th by CH!! Hilariously bad
