an embarrassingly unhinged deep dive into The Cruel Prince | plot recap 
Развлечения
Jude is so “my father is the worst man alive & I am his favorite daughter” coded 💕
YES!!! The superior father daughter trope 💪🏻💕💀
Didn’t she actually say that in the books? 😭
"father i am what you made me i've become you daughter after all"
If Taryn has no haters, I’m dead.
if taryn has no defenders, i'm dead
REAL!
@@momomomo__REAL. If the book were from her pov I think she’d have less haters. She’s just as afraid as Jude is, Jude turns her fear into anger, but Taryn’s fear is disguised as acceptance. Jude acts as though Taryn is bowing down to the fae willingly, but there just isn’t any other path for her. They both have their flaws.
Frrrr
@@sketchycat6223it’s one thing being afraid it’s another selling your own sister out multiple times. So yea F her 😇
"our fav little snake, prince cardan" THE FORESHADOWING
(teehee)
Please please do wicked king and every other book ever. Your humour and the way you explain things. Chefs kiss. This video is criminally underrated and I will be suing someone.
thank you thank you thank you ❤️❤️❤️❤️
@@idkpaigelyyes pls do these w the rest of the series i love the storytelling!!
Everything this comment says
@@idkpaigelyThank you so much!! Will be looking forward to the rest of the series n other new projects u come up with!!!❤❤
Yessss that would be amazing!❤
did i already read this entire series? yes. will i still watch bc honestly it was a fever dream? yes.
Same fr
have i read this series 6 times? yes. will i still watch it bc i will consume any type of content abt it i can? yes
i love watching unhinged recaps of things i've already read
Same
@@snowfire321 YEAHH
I think that Taryn stealing the fabric out from under Jude’s nose was very bratty but that’s also just very much twin sister vibes. Like they share a face there’s bound to be some resentment there
10000%!!!!! I love the sibling dynamic in this series - vicious fights and unconditional love 💕
Also I mean, she was expecting to be proposed to that night. Kinda makes sense she’d want to stand out
Yeah its very sibling coded! This video and maybe even book doesnt set the stage for what their treatment as twins looks like - they couldve been treated as if one person, like they had no indiciduality, or on the opposite end one got favourited over the other. That definitely could end up in resentment, and acting out like this. Also, theyre 17. On the higher end of appropriate behaviour but tbh theyre still teenagers
The way they continuously betray each other always has me GAGGED
Vivi is an underrated character as far as I’m concerned. Gotta give her credit for sticking to her word, and I find the unconditional love for her siblings very endearing. It exists between Jude and Taryn also, and it always comes back around, which I appreciate, but not the same. Vivi would never do the things that Taryn does.
totally agree that there's not enough Vivi love out there, and I definitely love her as much as the twins and Oak, but I do think they all have their faults. Like Vivi wouldn't have done what Taryn did, but I think the way she treats Heather in the Wicked King is pretty infuriating. Nobody's perfect but they are all awesome ❤️❤️❤️
@@idkpaigely That's true.. It gets to a point where, although you want it to work out and for them to be together, you find yourself wondering if she deserves Heather..
The way Jude ATE everyone up when she crowned Cardan *silent screams*
i love collecting 20something girlies who make unhinged feature film length videos about books. each one i find pushes me closer to the edge myself
And you are not alone, not by a long shot!!
5:15 literally only 5 mins in and I just need to compliment you on how interactive-ish it’s feeling w the Jude’s brain jar & the puzzle pieces. As a frequent watcher of these types of videos, it’s really helpful and a fun way to stay engaged in the video
Thank you, I'm so glad!! Had to pull out all the stops for JudexCardan 💕
I dont understand why is she doing that?
@@hamdiyazid200with each Pearl in the jar she gets closer to figuring stuff out lol
I love how the first poem is about how wonderful it would be to be a fae child, and then the book opens and it’s so unhinged and gives off completely different vibes. Pretty clever if you ask me. 🧚♀️ 🌺
*when Jude was with Locke and we didn’t know what he was doing, I was like ‘awww they’re kinda cute’ and my friend who had already read the book was like ‘that will fade 🤭’ AND I WAS SO CONFUSED UNTIL THAT HAPPENED*
I was also so confused cuz before I started the book, I was so sure Cardan was the love interest because everytime I saw anything about the cruel prince, it was people fawning over Cardan. I was like "why is she being cute and making out with a side character???"
the way I finished the video AND STILL wanna read the book just shows how well done this recap is
❤️❤️❤️
PLEASE read it the series is so good. i’ve literally read it four times in the past year and still want to watch this video
@@iwouldgiveyouthemoon_i have reread it 3 times, but i might make it a fourth
ive read cruel prince twice (i never reread books) and now Im an hour into this. nobody understands me like holly black understands me. we are all kindred spirits in this comment section i think. thank you for this video god... i love the jar i love your descriptions and your voice. top tier vid
I would not have discovered my love of reading if I hadn't read Tithe at age eleven and I'm eternally grateful
❤️❤️❤️
Real I’ve done the same thing
I legit never reread books but I might reread these a 3rd time ngl
Holly black is the best
this is feeding my cruel prince obsession
❤️🧚🏻✨
Amazing, I was so surprised no one else had made an unhinged recap of this so far and didn’t want to have to read it myself!
Thank you so much!!! I’m glad it was helpful 😊
"all you need to know at the moment is that Jude hates him. Passionately." I'm dead 😭
Please I am begging you, do a part 2, your energy is just so perfect for this
I love the contrast between all of the sisters. Viv inherently belongs and doesn't want to, Taryn will break herself to fit the mould and Jude will break the mould to fit her.
Finally I’ll understand what my girlfriend is talking about when she rants to me about these books, thank you!
lol that's so awesome!!!!!! glad I could help 🫡
Queen Orlaugh as Ursula 💀 I love it. Excellent work on this recap, doing this is a Herculean task. 😊 You’re amazing! 🎉
thank you!!!! 💕💜💗
I read the books but the way you’re recapping it is AMAZING
PLEASE do the wicked king,the queen of nothing and the stolen heir
Thank you for this, I hope you continue with the series! I'd been on the fence whether I wanted to read this series and you convinced me!
My thoughts on Taryn, the stealing of the fabric was foreshadowing showing that Taryn would be comfortable with taking something from Jude, like perhaps a boyfriend. While it may not have been malicious, it showed that Taryn didn't value Judes feelings more than her own, or even the same amount as her own.
Love this take!!!! I've never thought of it that way before
Yes, and like how in the end Jude ends up with the better dress, Jude also ends up with the better partner
I’m obsessed with the way you describe these characters, your manor of speaking is inherently poetic. I’ve had the “she’s very blue coded. Mean girl, beautiful, blue.” Line stuck in my head all day.
PLEASE DO THE WICKED KING AND THE QUEEN OF NOTHING IM BEGGING YOU ❤this was so good!
❤️❤️❤️
PLEASE continue this series, this was incredible and i need to know what happens next
Thank you!!!! I really hope I can continue!!!
24:36 Honestly this is a brilliant way to portray different reactions to trauma.
1:57:28 also Cardan is so into getting bossed around by her it’s not even funny
Girl, your enthusiasm is literally infectious. I‘ve never read the series, but the way you told the story has me so invested! Like I wanna go read it, but I’m scared I won’t enjoy it as much as I enjoyed watching you recap it lol. You did such a good job, and I would 1000% watch more of these(for other series too!)
(Also you could totally be an audiobook narrator if you wanted to, your voice and tone are perfect for it)
thank you!!!! definitely check out the books, Holly Black is a much better story teller than me she's AMAZING ❤️❤️❤️
I haven't read the books, but I stumbled across the audiobooks on RUclips (the channel is Ultimate Audiobooks) and I highly recommend them- the reader does all the voices, and I was super entertained. I don't normally read fantasy and I didn't even know about this series at all, but I was hooked lol.
As someone that has read both the books and listen to the audiobooks. I am so sorry, but I feel that I must let you know about some of the pronunciations…
The magical bargain, the geas- is said like “guess” but with a -sh sound at the end, “g-eh-sh”
And her last name is Duarte, said with an accent at the end- “duar-t-eh”
LOVE this video 🫶
L. M. A. O. I am actually laughing at how wrong I was, especially for geas 💀😂 thanks for telling me!!!!!!!
The royal family being succession characters is everything 🔥🔥
i started reading this series over a year ago and stopped in the middle of the wicked king. now i picked it up again, finished the rest of the wicked king and queen of nothing in a heartbeat. now i'm sad it's over but this is such a nice recap of the first book that I remember so little of and a way for me to still enjoy something that has to do with the series. definitely would love to see more of this, you're great!
thank you!!!! I'm so glad it brought a little Elfhame whimsy back to you 💕
Read the one about Oak!
reading is so often a pretty solitary activity so I’m obsessed with this vibe! every time you just silently put marbles in really made me laugh. also this made me realize that I’ve read this book maybe a concerning amount of times? with the way my mind was literally filling in with dialogue and quoting things with you. also also, unrelated but I love your hair
thank you!!! there can never be too much JudeXCardan 💕💕💕
You have no idea how much this video means to me. The folk of the air series has been my favorite since it came out so getting to listen to you recap it all in such a fun way made my heart so happy!
that's so incredible to hear, thank you so much!!!!! ❤️💕💖
as someone who’s read this series four (?) times, it’s so funny every time a marble is added to “jude’s brain”. because it’s always so accurate 😭
Finally, someone has done it. The Cruel Prince plot recap. I'm ready.
There arent enough comments here for all the work put in. It was great cant wait for the wicked king
thank you!!!! 💕💕
You are the face of this book series just as cari is the face of ACOTAR. I do need more!
Thank you so much for doing this!! I read Cruel Prince Earlier in the Year and waited too long to pick up the next book, so this was a perfect recap! I hope you continue the series!
Yay I’m so glad it was helpful!!!!! Thank you ❤️❤️
A two-hour deep dive/ info dump on the cruel prince is so iconic
This video is amazing but the mike’s mic olivia wilde nod made it iconic
girl i am ALSO taryn apologist ty for speaking the truth
Taryn is for the non confrontational lover girlies ✨💕🧚🏻
This is literally the best book to do an unhinged recap on! The recap was so good btw!
Thank you so much!!!!!
I don't know how you managed to make this video so entertaining for someone who has already read this series like 3 times! So funny and the perfect level of depth
Will be naming my kid Jude in the hopes that they’re half as cool as this Jude.
i just finished the whole series literally last night, and i wasn't done with it yet and wanted to be put back in the magic. your descriptions and recap is the absolute best
thank you so much!!! I'm glad it could bring you back into Elfhame 🧚🏻🍃✨
IF LOVING CARDANS TAIL IS WRONG I DONT WANNA BE RIGHT
we're on the right side of history with this one 🫡
I mean if your gonna be an otherworldly being might as well look the part right?
Oh my god I’m revisiting this series after sooo long and all I can remember is how much I hated Taryn 😂
i love how u broke this down SO much please continue this series feel like u could make even the bible feel so animated 😭
This is so fun and detailed! Makes me remember all the little things in the books that needed some more explanation! Like how Grimsen gives Cardan an earring for eavesdropping at the Queen of Mirth event in The Wicked King, but I'm not sure what conversations Cardan used it to secretly listen to!! Please make a video on the other two books in the trilogy. Would love to hear your analysis!
I LOVED this. After I finished the series, it never left my mind. I miss this world and characters already. I also love how you giggle after your own jokes
As someone who watched after reading the first book herself, I adored this! so nice to hear someone else retell the story and to feel like I was able to excite over it with someone else! Hope to enjoy many other recaps from you! 💕🙏 The effort you put into this was astounding!
thank you!!!!! the goal is always to obsess together 💕
i just finished this book and i really love the excited/delighted laugh at every jardan scene because that's exactly what i sounded like too
it's unavoidable, they're just too perfect 😭
Please do this epic job for the other books in the series as well. Every one of your jokes and giggles gives me a spark of joy. Well done! 👑
This felt like reading the book again and really put me back into the mood to finish the book! (left it off after she captures him after the bloodbath)
have i read this series 5 time over? yes. will i watch this video talking about the plot? yes.
ive been waiting for someone to do this with this level of unhingedness or else i was going to have to do it myself so thank you
Based on how I've heard people talk about this book before I thought it wouldn't be my cup of tea at all, but it actually sounds awesome, maybe I'll give it a go now even though I already know the whole plot lol
me too lol
I haven't read the book, didn't think i would like it, thought it was a roast when i clicked on it... and this video was genuinely SO entertaining! You're great at this.
OMG pls pls make one about Wicked King this was spot on girl, I read The Cruel Prince a while back and wanted a refresh and this was perfection
Never read a page of this book in my life BUT THE WAY I NEED ANOTHER PART
I passionately adore these books, and you’ve done them so much justice with this!!! The map, the marble jar, the pictures…it’s all perfect. Thank you for your service❤️❤️❤️
anything for Queen Jude 🫡
you have the exact right energy/vibe for this video thank you so much it was such a fun watch
your organised recap is so incredibly type A I love it
Pleaassee bless us with more of these videos❤❤!!! I can't stop listening to this. It's as if a friend, raving about a book, is giving me a plot breakdown with giggles and humour, and I'm innnnnn for the entire show
This is so good! Please continue the series ! Your thoughts and commentary are very interesting and you get across the vibes of the book so well!
I love how well done this is, can’t wait for more
girllllll thank you for this, you are the queen no one else. pls do the whole series soon!
I LOVED THIS!!! We need the rest of the series😭
PLEASE do the rest of the series. This is probably the best recap I’ve ever watched where I really understood the plot, the characters, the vibes, everything.
this was the best thing I’ve watched in months and I can’t wait for the second part!
love this sis!! amazing work, i was waiting for someone to recap my fav series
ILYSM, while i was writing my story I was listening to ur video and SOMETIMES I JUST HAD TO STOP AND LISTEN because u literally have a way to be funny while making the story intriguing 😭😭 as a fan of folk of the air, TYSM FOR THIS GEM
The Fae description, you've sold me lol. This was one of the first fae books I every read and the descriptions of them in other books still throw me like wdym? theyre not medium ugly and on a cigarette/chocolate diet ?😂
LOL it's truly such a shock when they're described as like a John Cena muscle head 💀
i’d watch 10 hours worth of tcp content from you, this is one of my favourite comfort videos
Please continue the series!! I’ve recently read the trilogy but i’m still obsessed with it that i’m willing to take anything😩 Also i simply love deep dives of any books cuz theyre fun to watch💙
ive been waiting for SOMEBODY to do this FINALLY. how did i not see this
Girl this was so enjoyable and easy to follow. Excited to see what's next!
read this whole series in a long weekend. loved it. remember none of it. did not actually know what the plot was until watching this- thank you for your service
THANK YOU I’ve been really interested in watching videos like these
I honestly can't even begin talking about this series without spiraling, I love it sm it's my favourite forever n ever. I get insane just thinking about it. Dangerously obsessed
Please continue this series! LOVED IT
PLEASE do the rest of the series this is iconic omg
This was soo good! We need a deep dive for the next 2 books!!!
I'm absolutely begging for you to continue, your commentary was so fun
Okay after reading The Prisoner's Heir, I keep coming back to this video because it is so entertaining. We need this to be a series!!!
Dude the way your passion for the book comes through in your telling makes this such a fun watch. Please do the rest of the books
❤️❤️❤️
Happy to get this video and then see the 2nd part is already up! So happy.
this was SO GOOD!! i never read the books so i was gasping and giggling with you, and now i have to go read the next ones!! this video was so much fun xx
u seem to be such a kind soul 🥹 ur energy is wonderful!
Ahh this was so good!! PLEASE make more, either for the rest of this series or different books!
SLAY GIRLIE!!!! This video is criminally underrated and I really do hope you do the rest of the books, I read cruel prince and wicked king when I was like 13 and this was an unhinged walk down memory lane, ily!!!
💕💕💕
omg i loved loved absolutely loved this video and NEEEED a continuation of the story. i loved the way you narrated it with the acorns, the swords, and ofc the brain marbles. please mark a part 2. love your humour. i am too invested in this now.
❤️❤️❤️
I’m addicted now I need more!!! You’re awesome at this!!!❤
Your story telling is so under rated, I really really hope you continue this series. ❤
❤️❤️❤️
thanks so much for this! i read the first book and then had exams and a bunch of other commitments and felt really uneasy about starting book two with a shaky memory so this was perfect!! and i just saw u uploaded book two yesterday so im gonna get straight into reading then come back for your recap!!!!
slay queen this video is so good idk why it doesn’t have one million views!! if you’re able to continue the series that would be amazing! thank you for all the work you put into this one!!! 🧚🏻💕
❤️🧚🏻✨
The best, most unhinged deep dive - please do the rest in the series!
omggg your so underated , i love the way you managed to explain the book
Thank you!!! 💙💙
i really really really hope you do this for the next two books! this was amazing because I read this series such a long time ago and missed them all!
