    I saw this post so I had to quickly read all three books and I'm so glad I did. What an entertaining series! Jude had a crazy streak that I loved. She was tough and powerful and full of risk taking. I wish there was more Jude and Cardan verbal sparing and sexual tension. They were fun! I would love to see what other series you recommend.

      Yes do a review of ACOTAR. That's a great series, I also love the Thrown of Glass series. I have just started her new series that's adult as opposed to YA.

    Brilliant Review. I love this series so much and it definelty healed my Reylo heart.
    For the casting of the twins, you could have one actor play both twins or get actual twins.
    But I would love the series as a TV show that can extend on the other characters as well

    it was so refreshing to read a fantasy/romance series where the plot and pacing, and conflicts outside of the main romance, were as strong as the romance and character development

  • @molliethomas2585
    @molliethomas2585 4 года назад +6

    Before I forget, Girls With Sabers just had a great live chat where they talked about Star Wars Rollout, and how it had baby Ben Solo and a ton of blue butterflies, and how blue butterflies often represent rebirth. This could be a little nudge from the writing team that Ben Solo will return. Some of us in the chat even speculated that when Rey goes to the WBW she will be lead to Ben by blue butterflies.

    • @LordsoftheSithPodcast
      @LordsoftheSithPodcast  4 года назад +3

      We saw the Rollout and the pretty butterflies. It could be a nudge he'll return, for sure. It could also be just more scraps they throw at us. I'll wait until I see it. But the episode was beautiful.

    Finally read these books (YES, loved them) so I could listen to this and I love your point about Jude liking dresses! That was refreshing to me too! I feel you on the mini-rant about Rey being basically a dude's idea of a "strong woman."

  • @mlrafiki
    @mlrafiki 4 года назад +1

    Very interesting hearing you talk about which book was your favorite. Personally, if I had to rank them from favorite to least fav they would be: Wicked King, Queen of Nothing, and Cruel Prince. I acknowledge that QoN had problems, but I think I was just so happy to read a fitting conclusion (which used solid folktale motifs) to a fantasy romance that I was willing to let the issues slide. CP on the other hand dragged for me. It was so obvious from the beginning that Cardan liked Jude that sitting through her deceiving herself and having a supremely boring romance with Locke was almost more than I could tolerate. But Wicked King was a delight from start to finish.

    Personally I wouldn't want Timothee Chalamet to play Cardan because I don't think popular young actors should be cast. I think it would be great to let new talent be given a chance to shine. Especially those beginning their career. It should be a role that they become known for as their career progresses.

    I'm listening to the audiobook. I do think it is well written, it's not for me. It could be because I've grown out of the YA genre, but also personally I prefer a more old traditional portrayal of the Fair Folk.

    • @LordsoftheSithPodcast
      @LordsoftheSithPodcast  4 года назад

      It's a little on the younger side, I think. But I thought the portrayal of the Fair Folk was quite traditional, as in not lying, liking violence, etc. By curiosity, where do you think there's a more traditional portrayal of the Fair Folk?

    This is so fun that you are doing this book series! I read it and really enjoyed the enemies to lovers romance. I also loved that practically everyone is morally gray and the fae world is dark and gritty.
    Also, The Modern Faerie Tales trilogy is not good. I'm not trying to be mean, but I was hoping for more of this awesome fae world and it just wasn't that. I did make it through all the books, but would never recommend them to anyone. A good one that is in this same world is The Darkest Part of the Forest. It's really good!

    Atleast you girls get the ship you always wanted with these books. I just wanted to ask you, do you believe its at all possible to create a awesome, compelling Story set in the Star Wars Galaxy, that can have a empowered female character, can have romance that is not cliched, that can have all the kinds of things you would like, where the kind of roles are flipped round and the girl is all empowered and like saves the male character in some way, either from himself or etc.
    But like its all wrapped up in a awesome, cool story that has lightsaber battles, cool and unique space battles, etc action and plot twists we never see coming and some solid humor that isnt lame (they fly now).
    Do you think its possible to create such a story without alienating fans, maybe i could even say a "female-centric" story that doesnt like, advertise itself as that, it just feels and works like a solid original story that EVERYONE can get into, cause it has layers and just something for everyone and doesnt divide groups.
    Do you think such a story is possible in Star Wars? Cause dont know whether you heard but the rumor at Lucasfilm right now is that Kathleen Kennedy is trying hard to get a "female-centric" Star Wars tv show off the ground with this screenwriter called Leslye Headland.

    • @LordsoftheSithPodcast
      @LordsoftheSithPodcast  4 года назад +2

      I think Leslye's Headland show is more a niche show, and there are so many shows coming out, not all of them need to please everyone. I think it's possible to create a story with a strong female protagonist and cool love story, yes. Don't you like Luke and Mara? But I think you need to get the majority of the male viewers rooting for your pair. I think many viewers identified with Finn or thought that Kylo was irredeemable, therefore rejected it. We talk about it more in the marketing video, but they should have promoted the trilogy in a way that got people onboard with their story, not by pretending it was something different.

    I would give this series a 3.5 overall, it's really forgetable. It had a great concept, but the lack of proper world building, character development, and forced romance wrecked it for me. In my opinion, the relationship between Jude and Cardan is horrible. They hate each other and Cardan has always treated Jude (and basicly everyone else) horribly **asshole** . He has no redeming qualities yet Jude somehow falls for him. They always talk about being atracted to eachother but not much else, it's like they just want to make out because they are so self deprecating and hate each other.
