I personally LOVED (!!!!!) ruthless vows. A lot of it focuses on their individual journeys and the romance doesn’t come in till later in book. I think a lot of people loved divine rivals for the romance and were disappointed when it wasn’t as romance heavy since the characters are apart for a while. however i personally think ruthless vows was so romantic and beautiful. I adored it even more than divine rivals. don’t be scared! 💖
Would you consider doing a series of vlogs re reading the MPU books and go full spoiler?! Would love love love to hear all your thoughts, specifically on the Magnolia and BJ books. ❤
Yes I absolutely loved ruthless vows, I will admit the first was my favorite, but in saying that, divine rivals was a six star book, top book of 2023 it is one of my absolute favorite books of all time, but I still have ruthless vows five stars, I read it in a day, I just adore the characters and the writing and the romance and it still is one of my favorite books I have read so far this year
i would love a full video on you re-reading magnolia parks series!! because we never got an in-depth reaction to you reading the first three books and i would like to see them!!
I’m at 70 books out of a 100 goal for the year! My favourite book of the year has been ‘A Grave Robbery’ by Deanna Raybourn. I don’t know how to describe my love for the series. 9 books in and it’s still just as/ if not more entertaining as it was in the beginning. 1800s England murder mystery, independent heroine, top notch banter, cozy, romantic but not spicy. It’s just my all time favourite series.
i LOVED ruthless vows personally. it is definitely more focused on the politics/ war and the characters individually, so there is significantly less romance than the first one but i still think this book was absolutely amazing.
Hey rachel! i really encourage you to read the dead romantics! I went into it with the mindset that it's a pretty ''mid'' book BUT i was very surprised and it ended up being a 4.5 star read for me. I really connected with the characters and I loved the part were it dealt with grief. Hope this helps you decide if you want to read it or not.
My mom and I buddy-read Ruthless Vows and both agreed that it was even better than the first one- and we absolutely adored Divine Rivals! I think you’ll dig it ❤
I loooved Ruthless Vows!! Way more than Divine Rivals! It’s more plot driven and her beautiful writing is consistent. Don’t be afraid to give it a go!!
Please don't be scared of Ruthless Vows!! The vibes are still perfect and I personally LOVED getting to learn about the history of the war and I really think you'll love it too based on your fav books:)
i LOVED ruthless vows! i was initially scared too because of the reviews so i went in knowing the romance was not going to be as heavy as the first book. I think you definitely have to go in with the expectations of the romance being somewhat of a sub plot and more on the war. BUT I LOVED EVERYTHING THE WRITING AND THE ROMANCE! IT WAS STILL A 5 STAR FOR ME!!
I looooved Ruthless Vows!! Even though there were high stakes, it still felt so comforting. I don’t quite know how to explain it but it was just so good. I loved how it wrapped up the storyline!
I personally liked Ruthless Vows more than Divine Rivals. It gets more into the war and fantasy elements and I just found myself unable to put it down. My favourite book of the year so far has been If You Could See The Sun. It’s a great book with an academic rivals to lovers subplot that had me giggling.
I simply adored Ruthless Vows, it’s what made me go back and rate Divine Rivals five stars as well. I feel it’s more world building heavy compared to the first book, but I actually really liked how it further explored this and why Iris and Roman made the choices they did, based on that
Yes Rachel…you NEED to read ruthless vows 🤣 I also was put off by all the negative reviews but honestly?…I actually preferred the second book (and so did a few of my friends who read it!) I would say the first book focuses on the romance and the second book focuses on the world and the war that is surrounding them but personally I felt like it added so much, it made the romance even more gut wrenching (if that was possible) and just added so much more depth to divine rivals ❤
I am currently reading Ruthless Vows and omg Im loving it! Its definitely taking me longer to read than Divine Rivals but truly that is because i am so distraught about whats happening and I dont ever want it to end. Roman and Iris forever
I was surprised a lot of people were disappointed by Ruthless Vows! I read it as soon as it released and went in with zero expectations and I really enjoyed it. I just love the Rowan and Iris so much I was happy to read anything about the two of them again!❤️🔥
Well done on reading that many books in half a year. I have read 58 so far which is around 14 more than I read for the whole year last year so kicking goals there 😊 I know that reading is not about the amount of books we read in a year or even setting goals but I like to challenge myself.
I absolutely LOVED Ruthless Vows more-so than Divine Rivals but maybe it was because of the headspace I was in when I read it and just appreciated the escapism. It has less of a focus on the romance but I think it's such a great story - honestly the perfect conclusion/follow up to the series 💖
A bit unrelated to the video, but I feel like in recent years, I've lost a lot of the love I had for reading because of things like work, my personal life, etc. I've only been able to finish one book this year, and I've been feeling pretty bad about it. But watching you talk about the books you read has left me feeling a bit hopeful that I can get out of this slump and find love in reading again ♡
I felt exactly the same, I think I read like 5 - 10 books last year and then was in this reading slump for MONTHS like I got so many books for my birthday in janurary because everyone sees me as this person that loves books, and i do, but i didn't read them until the beginning of march, which is when i found Rachel, and haley pham, Sara, destiny and all those girlies, and it really made me want to read again. now I'm at forty one books for this year, it get's better, i promise! I hope you find your love for reading again!! (sorry this is really long, i didn't mean for that to happen 😂)
'The way I used to be' and 'The way I am now' is definitely my favorite books of the year. I love a character driven story and these were done so well. Gave both 5 stars!🌟💞
I am in the middle of reading Ruthless Vows right now and so far I am really enjoying it! I think that there is a different vibe compared to Divine Rivals but the writing is very poetic and I’m still very engaged in the story. I think you should read it if you can separate the first and the second book
This video made me so happy and your comment about magnolia parks into the dark made me so excited to read it because I‘m scared of what the book could do to my wellbeing 🥺😄 I loved Katie’s video and also used one of her questions 💕
I actually loved Ruthless Vows more! I loved that we got more information about the Gods. And the quotes from the mmc are so good! Loved Dana Schwartz books. I wish there was more in that series!
I LOVED both Divine Rivals and Ruthless Vows, they are just different books. The romance is still very present in the 2nd book, but not the central plot as it is for the first. Ruthless Vows is much more about the backstory of the gods, the political machinations of the world and the war, and how humans figure into it. I enjoyed that more detail as I felt that was lacking in book 1. You also get to know a few more characters, and I loved them too! I gave both 5 stars, so I encourage you to give it a go! It is a very tight duology, no word or chapter wasted, and Rebecca Ross knocked it out of the park for this reader!
A video idea I’ve been trying to get out there to the book girlies is similar to what you’ve done here: convince us to read your favorite books based on a few of your favorite lines ❤
As for reccomendations - I just finished and LOVED The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches, it was just the cutest, coziest fantasy story with a sweet romance to boot!
One of my favorites this year was The Finale Empire by Brandon Sanderson. I was nervous to read it, but my husband kept saying how much he loved it, and I'm so glad I read it.
rachellll! i personally feel like you will love ruthless vows! i thought it was the perfect resolution to the duology. please do a reading vlog when you finally pick it up!! :’)
I love watching these kinds of videos. They give me so many good book recommendations that I can at to my list of books I want to read. I personally can not choose one but a couple of my favorite books I've read so far this year were The Summer of Broken Rules by K.L. Walther and Twisted Lies by Ana Huang.
Honestly I think the only reason people don’t enjoy ruthless vows is because it’s less romance than divine rivals. But the crumbs of it you do get are soooo worth it!!! Don’t read it for the romance but do it for the plot!
My favourite standalone of this year so far is the Sword of Kaigen, such an incredible book and I think about it all the time. Favourite new series which I’ve never heard anyone talk about is A Tale of Stars and Shadow by Lisa Cassidy. Both fantasy and highly recommend!
Please, please, please keep Rouge on your TBR! 🙏 I think it’s worth the read and I’m so interested to hear your thoughts about it. I think you may enjoy it more than Bunny based on the magical/fairytale themes, and for its commentary on beauty standards and obsession with youth/perfection. Whenever you’re in the mood for something totally different and with some darker/gothic vibes… then give it a try.
I loved Ruthless Vows and how it closed the duology! I personally feel like maybe people may not have liked RV because it went in a direction that was different from what was expected because there was a lot of expectations on what we wanted to see from it so I would say go into RV with no expectations!
I wish I loved Powerless as much as everyone I watch 🥺 I just couldn’t get past the several similarities to Red Queen but I am excited to read Reckless and see where the author takes the story!
My favorite book was one I read in January! The title is The Echo of Old Books! Historical fiction, historical romance, magical realism, dual POV, dual timeline! Seriously I think about that book multiple times a week 🩵
I would say read Rouge for the experience....and then if you didn't like it maybe unhaul, lol. It wasn't Bunny level weird....but Mona for sure has a writing style. Also power to you for 78 books in 6 months! I really don't have any hobbies but reading so I'm at 96, but I think I'll scale back when I reach my goal of 100 and do some re-reads. Yay books!
My favourite book i read this year would have to be A Court Of Thorns and Roses because it was my first time reading it and the series and it was truly amazing!!! Also love your videos!! 💜
Divine Rivals is my favorite favorite book of all time !!! In saying that, Ruthless Vows was still very much a 5 ⭐️ read for me, but it was different than I think most people expected. Give it a chance 🥺
My favorite books so far this year are: 1. Demon Copperhead - Barbara Kingsolver 2. Purple Hibiscus - Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie 3. The Women - Kristin Hannah 4. The Pillars of the Earth - Ken Follett 5. Happiness for Beginners - Katherine Center 6. Remarkably Bright Creatures - Shelby Van Pelt 7. Lessons in Chemistry - Bonnie Garmus 8. Yours Truly - Abby Jimenez
I gave Ruthless Vows 5 stars, I thought it was amazing! I think that Ruthless Vows had more focus on the fantasy where as Divine Rivals was very romance focused. I think they have different focuses but I loved them both equally ❤
My favorite book so far is Middlegame by Seanan McGuire! But close faves are: Everyone in my family has killed someone,The Hawthorne Legacy, Lovely War and Caraval.
Idk if someone has mentioned this in the comments already, but you should do a reading vlog specifically for reading Ruthless Vows, Two Twisted Crowns, and The Final Empire.
I know this might be weird, but one of my most anticipated reads is the grandest game by jennifer lynn barnes. I still love that world. And I love the way she writes the books
Love this video!!! How you've managed to read 78 books in less than 6 months is incredible!! I'm a busy uni student so haven't had as much time to read as I would like, but currently on a break so will definetly be doing some reading!! Just starting The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo! My fav book this year has definitely been Emily Wilde's Encyclopedia of Faeries!! I recently finished it and I loved it. I'm waiting for the smaller paperback to come into my book store before I buy the second one, as I want the book sizes to match... but knowing you gave it a 5 star, I'm so pumped to read it!! ❤
You should totally read As Long as the Lemon Trees Grow! It was so good. And Big Little Lies was also so good (and I think the author is Australian!) 😊
i’ve read bunny and rouge by mona awad, i also wasn’t sure how i felt about bunny i was pretty confused, but i really enjoyed rouge, it definitely had some elements of like “is this actually happening or not” but it was more fun to read imo!
Your fears for ruthless vows are exactly how I felt AFTER reading it and actually recommended my friend not to read it because I wish I hadn’t :( the reasons I adored divine rivals just were missing and I wish I’d left it to just enjoy the story as it was
Yesss! Get on Ruthless Vows. I’m still so shocked you haven’t. I loved it, gave it 5 stars. One of those ones where I stayed up way too late cause I needed to finish it right then and there 😂
I loved Ruthless Vows! The world-building isn't like the best but I feel like that's not what this series is for anyway. There's just as much romance imo
I personally LOVED (!!!!!) ruthless vows. A lot of it focuses on their individual journeys and the romance doesn’t come in till later in book. I think a lot of people loved divine rivals for the romance and were disappointed when it wasn’t as romance heavy since the characters are apart for a while. however i personally think ruthless vows was so romantic and beautiful. I adored it even more than divine rivals. don’t be scared! 💖
I loved it too I didn’t understand all the hate. If you love the characters you will love the second book
Yes!! I gave it 5 stars!!
yess!! totally agree
Me too!!! I love that duology with my whole heart 😭
Same! 5 stars from me too. I loved it.
78 books in 6 months is amazing
Would you consider doing a series of vlogs re reading the MPU books and go full spoiler?! Would love love love to hear all your thoughts, specifically on the Magnolia and BJ books. ❤

I can't wait for the paperback of A Grave Robbery to be published. I recently finished A Sinister Revenge. It is really such a good book series.
I was hopeful that I would love that series but I dnf-ed the first book :/
that 'how does it feel?' cover is truly horrifying lol that would put me off it alone !
The US cover looks way less terrifying, I just bought it yesterday😂
i LOVED ruthless vows personally. it is definitely more focused on the politics/ war and the characters individually, so there is significantly less romance than the first one but i still think this book was absolutely amazing.
I liked it better than the first tbh!
Hey rachel! i really encourage you to read the dead romantics! I went into it with the mindset that it's a pretty ''mid'' book BUT i was very surprised and it ended up being a 4.5 star read for me.

The way this video popped up in my sub box and I literally couldn't fathom that we already halfway through 2024! That is so wild 😱😱
PLEASE READ RUTHLESS VOWS!!! I love Iris and Roman in divine rivals and ruthless vows 🥺💙 still my favorite duo. Rebecca Ross will not disappoint!!!
My mom and I buddy-read Ruthless Vows and both agreed that it was even better than the first one- and we absolutely adored Divine Rivals! I think you’ll dig it ❤

Ruthless Vows wrapped up the series perfectly! Loved it.
Yes 👏
I think my favorite book so far has been "The seven year slip". I have just adored this book so much and the writing was beautiful!!
I personally liked Ruthless Vows more than Divine Rivals. It gets more into the war and fantasy elements and I just found myself unable to put it down.

The Will of the Many by James Islington was an unexpected 6 star for me. Definitely the best book I’ve read in a LONG time!

Sammeee
Is your phone near you when you are reading? I put my phone in a different room when I’m reading and it’s so helpful in cutting distractions 😁
@@readingwithmiryana I'm gonna try it
Do you have any recommendations for me ?
Idk if someone has mentioned this in the comments already, but you should do a reading vlog specifically for reading Ruthless Vows, Two Twisted Crowns, and The Final Empire.
Favorite books: The Good Part by Sophie Cousens, Heartless and Reckless by Elsie Silver, and Binding and Keeping 13 by Chloe Walsh

My favorite series this year has been the remnant chronicles by Mary e Pearson! Kiss of Deception took me by surprise but it had me SQUEALING!
Your fears for ruthless vows are exactly how I felt AFTER reading it and actually recommended my friend not to read it because I wish I hadn’t :( the reasons I adored divine rivals just were missing and I wish I’d left it to just enjoy the story as it was
Yesss! Get on Ruthless Vows. I’m still so shocked you haven’t. I loved it, gave it 5 stars. One of those ones where I stayed up way too late cause I needed to finish it right then and there 😂
I loved Ruthless Vows! The world-building isn't like the best but I feel like that's not what this series is for anyway. There's just as much romance imo
