    🎁 I admire your dedication to wrapping all the books. I think you need to at least do a 2nd episode of wrapped books because you went to all the effort. It would be a shame to just unwrap them all.

    Everything you said about Dance with the Fae Prince has me quite intrigued 👀, especially since I am very much enjoying my time with the Loom Saga by the same author. Plus, you dnf-ing it bodes well for me, since we have such opposite tastes 😄
    Also, as someone who is currently reading the third book in the Sevenwaters series by Juliet Marillier (so, Daughter of the Forest, Son of Shadows), it's definitely _not_ a series of standalones - just an fyi 😉

Have you read the new Werwolf one? Im interested in that one too. I’m not a fan of the “you can’t look at your husband” trope. Is it a trope? I think it originated in Greek mythology with Eros and Psyche? Anyway, this was a fun video!

    I binged the Blood and Steel series back to back and haven’t read Slaying the Shadow Prince. It’s possible there were things I would have understood better but I can’t know for sure. But as it was, it didn’t stop me from understanding and enjoying the series. There’s obviously spoilers if you read the series straight through without the standalone but I knew that going in and accepted it.

    • @CoverswithCassidy
      @CoverswithCassidy  3 дня назад

      This is fair. I am normally not someone who says something feels necessary. Like I read without reading "novellas" or @standalones" often but honestly book four would have been a two star for me without the standalone. So I personally found it very important. I just think you miss way too much information that you don't even know you don't have. Like it feeels necessary to me or else the story isn't completed. But I also am someone who likes to have all my information so the rebellion and talemir just felt one dimensional without it

      @@CoverswithCassidyI use to be firmly in the camp of needing to read everything in an exact order. Even series of standalone novels. I’m to the point now that I’m not picking something up that doesn’t speak to me. I’m a degree of unhinged when it comes to novellas that are central to the story. The way I see it, either it wasn’t important enough to include it in the actual book or it’s so important, it should have been in the book. If it’s the latter then best believe I’m hate reading it.

    Hi! I'm confused. Of Thieves and Shadows by B.S.H. Garcia is the first book In a series and it is her first book. It is not related to Daughter of the Forest by Juliet Marillier. And Of Thieves and Shadows is amazing! There are two prelude novellas called From the Ashes and From the Depths. I hope you try it! I loved it and I just got the 2nd novel that just came out last month.
