@@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.
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. 🧚♀️ 🌺
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.
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.
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
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
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..
*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???"
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
Got to love how toxic almost everyone of Jude's relationships are. Her foster father killed her real family. Her sister has betrayed her several times. Her husband harassed her all of her childhood, then she kidnapped him, then forced him to be king, then he got exiled by him. Her step-mom doesn't like her. She's separates her brother from his mother and pressures him into being king. I swear, Vivi might be her only unproblematic relationship.
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 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.
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.
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)
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!
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
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 🫶
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!
My hottest take about this series is that I actually love Locke. He is so secure in himself that it's honestly endearing. At no point does he go "damn, this isn't right." And I respect that.
JUDE LITERALLY PULLED A DREAD PIRATE ROBERTS?? LIKE IN PRINCESS BRIDE??? THEY WERE BOTH POISONED??? oh my god I might have to read this book despite not generally being a fan of this genre. (I am however a huge fan of the unhinged recaps genre, keep it up :P)
Tell me why I was gasping, upset, surprised, genuinely shocked and so into the story wanting to know what happened next as if I haven't already read it.
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!
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
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
Wait you’re so right abt the Jude-taryn fight. Before I read the series, I saw a fanart of that on instagram and I was like, “this is it??” Cause like that’s basically a normal sister fight but with swords and stuff
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!!!
This is so well done, great job! About Taryn stealing Jude's fabric - in that moment, i thought of it more like her calling dibs. Jude was just looking at the fabric, no? She didn't say anything yet out loud. I feel like this is real sibling moment. Not something i would be mad about.
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.
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
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❤️❤️❤️
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
Never read those series, but after your video im really interested to read it!!! Thanks! Also, your English is so easy to understand to a non-English speakins person! Like i get every word that you prounanced right! Maybe that's a strange compliment, but it was really helpfull to me! Thanks for a video!❤
I did not expect to be so thoroughly entertained for 2 whole hours, and now I’m behind on everything I planned to do, but pay no mind. I read the whole series and forgot about it entirely. Admittedly, I had more fun watching this video than I did reading the trilogy.
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
Obsessed with this. Literally the page where Cardan has written Jude’s name over & over to the point where the page is stained with ink, I lost my mind. Insane.
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!
Omg, I can't believe I just watched a 2hour video about the cruel prince. I just finished the book and I'm so obsessed that I didn't even realize it was 2 hours long! Please make more, I love it!
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💙
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!
great video! i appreciated that u paid homage to the creators who pioneered this format, while still adding a lot of ur own personality. it felt v fresh! hope to see u do the rest of the series.
I've never seen anything about this book series except some pretty fanart of Jude x Cardan, and now that I have watched the full video, it made me want to read it, so thank you a lot!
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 like this series because it adheres to the folklore of the fae as much as possible with the iron and the weird ass shit and the sealie and unsealie courts. sjms fae pissed me off even when i first read them bc theyre just buff humans with super powers and weird furry kinks.
Great video! Thank you algorithm Gods for bringing me here 🙏 A great addition to my rotation of recap videos (since I’ve already watched Jenny, Mike and Caris videos 2000 times). Keep doing these please! 🎉🎉
Oh no! 😢 You didn’t mention the dress that gets mysteriously switched with something she didn’t pick, but is insanely beautiful. It becomes important later!
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 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)
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
This is one of the recaps dome in this format where I've come away WANTING to engage with the source material as opposed to extremely grateful I've never touched it 😂
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 ?😂
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.
You have no idea how psyched I was when (as someone who has never read the books) the part about Vivi using her powers to stop them was used. I was like, "OMG, so Jude is going to accidentally kill Taryn, causing her desire for freedom to backfire and wind up haunting her with her twin sister's death, that's such a cool move!" then that didn't happen, whoops >.> Your summarywas great! Definitely gonna keep watching them~
The wholee timee that you were building up to Taryn's mannn I was like sooo sureee it would be Lockkkkeeeee Idk why I'm so happyy that I guessedddd ittt goshh
i decided to put this on in the background while i drew jude x cardan fanart because since finishing the series yesterday i’ve been in a trance state. and omg 1) your voice and presentation are so engaging and fun! 2) ooof the way you pointed out so many little details i kinda overlooked in my reading? like all the jurdan interactions and what the exact implications of liriope’s acorn-voice note were,,,damn thank you, it’s been So Great listening to this and immersing myself in the story and ugh!!! i hope i find videos for the other two books from you too 💛

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"
The way they continuously betray each other always has me GAGGED
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

The way Jude ATE everyone up when she crowned Cardan *silent screams*
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

I dont understand why is she doing that?
@@hamdiyazid200with each Pearl in the jar she gets closer to figuring stuff out lol
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!!
Please I am begging you, do a part 2, your energy is just so perfect for this
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 😊

Yes, and like how in the end Jude ends up with the better dress, Jude also ends up with the better partner
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
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.

this is feeding my cruel prince obsession

❤️❤️❤️
PLEASE continue this series, this was incredible and i need to know what happens next
Thank you!!!! I really hope I can continue!!!

Read the one about Oak!
The royal family being succession characters is everything 🔥🔥
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 🫡
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 💕💕💕
Queen Orlaugh as Ursula 💀 I love it. Excellent work on this recap, doing this is a Herculean task. 😊 You’re amazing! 🎉
thank you!!!! 💕💜💗
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 😭
This video is amazing but the mike’s mic olivia wilde nod made it iconic
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
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!!!!!!!

My hottest take about this series is that I actually love Locke. He is so secure in himself that it's honestly endearing. At no point does he go "damn, this isn't right." And I respect that.
They could never make me hate Locke 😭
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?

Tell me why I was gasping, upset, surprised, genuinely shocked and so into the story wanting to know what happened next as if I haven't already read it.

it's unavoidable, they're just too perfect 😭
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
Wait you’re so right abt the Jude-taryn fight. Before I read the series, I saw a fanart of that on instagram and I was like, “this is it??”
Cause like that’s basically a normal sister fight but with swords and stuff

I'm absolutely begging for you to continue, your commentary was so fun

i like this series because it adheres to the folklore of the fae as much as possible with the iron and the weird ass shit and the sealie and unsealie courts. sjms fae pissed me off even when i first read them bc theyre just buff humans with super powers and weird furry kinks.
omggg your so underated , i love the way you managed to explain the book
Thank you!!! 💙💙
Great video! Thank you algorithm Gods for bringing me here 🙏 A great addition to my rotation of recap videos (since I’ve already watched Jenny, Mike and Caris videos 2000 times). Keep doing these please! 🎉🎉
Thank you so much!!!!!! ❤️❤️
It’s like you knew that I want to understand the book without having to read it🤣
Oh no! 😢 You didn’t mention the dress that gets mysteriously switched with something she didn’t pick, but is insanely beautiful. It becomes important later!
She did
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 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)
I loooved your explanation. The way you explained it all was just so entertaining oh my gosh
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
This is one of the recaps dome in this format where I've come away WANTING to engage with the source material as opposed to extremely grateful I've never touched it 😂
I have not read this series but omg I’m obsessed, I am begging you to do the rest of the series
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 💀
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.
You have no idea how psyched I was when (as someone who has never read the books) the part about Vivi using her powers to stop them was used. I was like, "OMG, so Jude is going to accidentally kill Taryn, causing her desire for freedom to backfire and wind up haunting her with her twin sister's death, that's such a cool move!"
then that didn't happen, whoops >.>
Your summarywas great! Definitely gonna keep watching them~
A two-hour deep dive/ info dump on the cruel prince is so iconic
pls pls pls pls pls do wicked kind and queen of nothing
best book recap ever!!!
Happy to get this video and then see the 2nd part is already up! So happy.
this is actually a masterpiece of presentation and recap, thank you so much
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
PLEASE do the rest of the series this is iconic omg
this was the best thing I’ve watched in months and I can’t wait for the second part!
The wholee timee that you were building up to Taryn's mannn I was like sooo sureee it would be Lockkkkeeeee Idk why I'm so happyy that I guessedddd ittt goshh
i decided to put this on in the background while i drew jude x cardan fanart because since finishing the series yesterday i’ve been in a trance state. and omg 1) your voice and presentation are so engaging and fun! 2) ooof the way you pointed out so many little details i kinda overlooked in my reading? like all the jurdan interactions and what the exact implications of liriope’s acorn-voice note were,,,damn thank you, it’s been So Great listening to this and immersing myself in the story and ugh!!! i hope i find videos for the other two books from you too 💛
