    As someone who avoids spice, I really appreciate that you explained what your rating is based off. I find most people don't do that and it negates the reason for having a spice rating to begin with.

    • @jaimefok
      @jaimefok Месяц назад +4

      Glad it’s helpful! I know everyone rates spice levels differently so thought it would be good to clarify!

    The cruel prince feels like more traditional farie stories, like the tricksters that people fear to upset. So if you like the more faire mythology it would be good for that.

    • @jaimefok
      @jaimefok 28 дней назад +1

      yeah agreed! I think this is also why it has more of a classics feel.

    your spice rating is actually super helpful, especially with the way you explained it. my favorite books are either no spice or 1 and that's how i can take the most perfect recs from you ☺️

    Thanks for doing this video. A lot of good suggestions. Your video is a reminder that I should read my first R.F. Kuang book. Also, that I should read my first Sarah J. Maas book. In the latte case, I am somewhat imtimidated by the lengths of the books. I recently read Divine Rivals and loved it. It started Fourth Wing this morning
