I remember when I watched this video and saw this comment before starting the series and my first thought was, “oml what the heck” and I literally ANALYZED the first book and MADE SURE that nobody forgot to tie their shoelace. Upon further inspection, I realized that it was a metaphor😂 but literally, true tho
Is court of Silver flames connected to Acotar series and is yes should I read I before or after the Acotar series. It's a late comment but pleeaaassee reply anyone
Sarah J Maas is my queen and I will read and love whatever she puts out... also I’m probably the only person on Earth that actually loves A Court Of Frost And Starlight lol
That's it. That does it. I can officially say you are the my favorite booktuber. You were already heading there since you are as sassy as you are insanely pretty (seriously, how is your skin is so smooth), but you are officially because not only are you a black SJM stan which is so few and in between (I've been feeling like I've been sitting on the island by myself). But also because your favorite book of the TOG book is the same as mine And that is the one and only: Heir of Fire I love that one so damn much. It's up there for me with ACOMAF And it's so annoying but also interesting at the fact so many readers say HOF is what turned them off from the series but it is the one that turned me FULLY ON. From that book on, the main character became my BABY. I love that girl. I will fight anyone who badmouths her. I love her as much as I love Harry J. Potter So you are officially my favorite booktuber. Now where do I sign up to become your friend?
Create&Dream OKAY YES!! totally don’t get how people didn’t like Heir of Fire and stopped reading the series because of it like what??? this comment was sosososo sweet, it really made my day 😭💗
@@MikaAuguste OF COURSE. I'm happy to hear it made your day. Also I don't understand it either. That book is soooooooo good. I look forward to reading it with each reread. That is the book that made me FALL IN LOVE WITH the series. With Aelin. It means so much to me. I am not kidding though. Where on earth do I sign to become your friend? So we can gush more about SJM?
I’m currently on ACOMAF and I read all of throne of glass but mika you NEED to read tower of dawn and kingdom of ash like rn!! I’ll admit I sobbed on the floor at the end, but I’d love to know what you’ll think!!! :’) I’ve also become a huge sjm stan within the past few months, so I loved this video and am down to talk sjm anytime of the day 😂
Andrie Reads I KNOOOW i really need to read them...i will as soon as i have the time 🥺 and yesss sarah literally owns my mind and soul...we love her on this channel. PERIODT
I just bought a court of thorns and roses and I wasn't ever really interested in the throne of glass series but after watching this I definitely think i'm going to read it!
Your Video Was a Better Guide Than The Other Ones On BookTube , so do not say it was a mess . You Really Helped me soo much and now I'm definitely going to read TOG Series and all her other books . Thank You !!
I just found you through twitter and omg now I'm stuck binge watching your videos. SARAH J. MAAS IS A QUEEN!!!! LOVE HER and I feel like it's so rare to find people who love her on Booktube these days. I'm really happy that I found your channel cause YESSS GIRL YESSS
Sarah is my absolute favorite author, i’ve been with her books since 2017 and utterly in love with her writing. I binged ACOTAR (since i’m a year later now there are 5 books currently waiting for the 6th) i wanted her to feel her writing again so i picked up ToG and so far (Empire of Storms) i’m super hooked up! I strongly recommend all of her series even though i still haven’t read Crescent city and the houses.
I’ve been a fan of SJM for years! I LOVE ACOTAR!! I can’t wait for her to continue with that series. I also finished her newest book Crescent City and loved that as well. I have a feeling this new series is going to have us all hanging on the edge of our seats too!
Please read tower of dawn, and kingdom of ash. You are missing out so much they are amazing. I love that you dedicated a whole row to her books. That’s me written all over. I cant wait for the continuation of acotar. You are so right about everything you said. Love you so much. 💓 💖
Lottexxx yes i’m currently almost done with crescent city and i’ll be sure to start the last two books in the tog series! thank you so much for your support, ily❤️
I discovered SJM because of ACOTAR like six months ago and the way her books had impacted my life is unbelievable. Now I've just finished crown of midnight AND I'M SO HYPED FOR HOF. By the way I loooved this video💕💕
Sere Núñez you have no idea how much i resonate with that!! it’s sounds cliche, but it honestly feels like her books made me fall in love with reading again! and thank you so much 🥰
Omg I love all of her books!! I'll admit that I got bored with TnG due to how slow it was BUT I'M GLAD I PUSHED THRU BECAUSE I'M IN LOVEEEE WITH ALL OF HER BOOKS!! Sis you really need to read the last two TnG books!!! ❤
I’m the one who started off with the crescent city and immediately hooked with her work and now I’m diving into the throne of glass and loving it so far 🥺 And I love listening to you talking aimlessly, you’re one of my favorite booktubers now😂
Girl, you are GORGEOUS! And I love your personality! So glad I stumbled upon this channel. I was kind of hesitant on picking up crescent city because while I do love the ToG and ACOTAR series (except ACOWAR), I did sometimes find them frustrating and wasn't sure if I wanted to start another series by her, especially one where the first book is 800+ pages, but I think I might have to!
BookFanatic YES crescent city is just a more modern version of her others!! it’s also adult, so it’s a loss less sheltered. i absolutely love it! thank you SO much for your kind words❤️❤️❤️
I saw a tik tok about acotar and I thought lets read it and omg. I love it!!! I love the characters soo much that i want this series to be never ending. and now im gonna start with the Throne of glass series.
Well that's literally me! I just finished the ACOTAR series and I want to start TOG but I'm not sure in what order. I heard that The Assassin's Blade is important for the story but I don't know when to read it. After the first book, after the second book,...? Does anyone know when?
Im at Tower of dawn too and the main reason im struggling with it is because of the INSANE cliffhanger we got in book 5 only to have a whole ass book of Chaol and Nesryn mucking about the south before getting to know what happens to Aelin in the last book and I just felt be-trayed 😂 Also: +1 on Heir of fire! Soo good
Thank you Mika, I literally started reading Sarah J Maas because of you. I tried before but the heavy world building was different for me. What I didn’t realize was the world building allows you to complete fall into the world.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS VIDEO!! You are so thoughtful regarding spoilers, even super minor ones like character names, and it made me so happy. I'm always hesitant to watch booktubers for that reason, but the way you went about it made me subscribe instantly!! My first SJM book was House of Earth and Blood and OH MY GODDDDD. THE ENDING!!! It got me so hooked on SJM - starting the TOG series now! I've read Assassin's Blade, Throne of Glass, and Crown of Midnight, and I am bursting with excitement for the next book. I also can't wait to read ACOTAR, but I think I'm going to finish TOG first hehe
Thx so much for this video girl. I just ordered THE WHOLE ACOTAR trilogy and was getting a bit scared at all the comments i was seeing on youtube and GoodReads. I don't know but I feel like Sarah J. Maas is a love-hate author. Whereas some people absolutely ADORE her, others think that her writing is terrible, her characters are very bland and idk but I was starting to feel a bit sceptical about reading her books. Anyways, I think u gave me a glimpse of hope and now i can't wait to get my hands on acotar❤️
Laura Tello of course!! a lot of people definitely love to hate Sarah J. Maas, however, she’s an amazing story teller in my opinion & focuses way more on world building than most authors. i really hope you like her books as much as i do!
Laura Tello I once a upon a time used to looooove her books and finished everything in like a week lol. But then once u sit down and read about some of the issues other people have with her and try to see through their point of view u will understand. My problem was that I just realized the manipulation with her characters was higher than other authors. Everyone loved only loved Aelin and she painted characters who were a certain way in bad light cuz she didn’t think highly of them. This may feel like a rant but it’s just I have stopped reading throne of glass. It was after Manon and Dorian and thinking how dumb, sezualized, and toxic it was. It’s less in ACOTAR and I love that series. Hoping crescent city is better
Khadiza Akter i think it’s fair to let her make her own decisions on whether or not she’ll enjoy the series. everyone has their own opinions, but it’s definitely important to let people enjoy what they want to enjoy without making them feel bad for enjoying it.
Khadiza Akter since I haven’t read throne of glass and I’m not so used to epic fantasy (I think ToG is epic fantasy lol) I’m quite interested in giving the series a try. I’ve read that her characters in throne of glass are kinda cliche and very sexualised. I’ve also read that her descriptions are very vague and not so in depth, but Im not such a critic reader, as long as the book makes me feel goosebumps or really strong feelings towards the characters, it’s a success for me. I’ll update u as soon as I read acotar (I actually can’t wait!!) thx for the response sweetie ❤️
@@MikaAuguste not tryna make her feel guilty just sharing my experience and thoughts. I feel you need to not force others to like it, I can have my opinion
this video was soooo helpful! i’ve been wanting to get into sarah j maas for a good minute now but i’m terrible at reading series & am more of a standalone book kinda person BUT i’ve been wanting to see the hype cause i see her books EVERYWHERE and didn’t know where to start so this video helped a lot! thank you 💕 i just purchased the throne of glass set
Crescent City was my first Sarah J Maas book and I loved it. I’m currently reading ACOTR. I will eventually get to throne of glass. Sarah j Maas is quickly becoming my favorite author. ❤️
Loved this video a lot. I read ACOTAR In January and it was my first Sarah j. Maas book and absolutely loved it, so I bought the other 3 books. Next I bought the TOG book set and after debating to myself if I really should invest myself on a ongoing series I ended up buying crescent city. I just love her writing so much, she gives me what I like which is plot, a healthy amount of romance and some nice sexy times lol
My first SJM series was ACOTAR and I absolutely loved it. I’ve only just started reading the TOG series. I love her writing style and it’s truly amazing. I can’t wait to read through the TOG series.
OMG!!! goosebumps! goosebumps!! goosebumps!!! SJM surely knows how to give me goosebumps hahaha. i love every bit of her novels. you talking about the books is giving me goosebumps too!!! i hope we get to see the movie. they've been dragging it for too long
I was like yasss to everything you said. And when you said Heir of Fire was your favorite in the TOG series I cheered because me too. Like you I found her stuff at a very rough time in my life and it gave me *life*
Mika Auguste I feel like her books are so relevant to issues we face today and that’s why they hit so hard. I can’t wait to see her hopefully go even further into tackling big topics through her stories
I was looking up Crescent City reviews before I started and I came upon this video and loved it so much! one of my new favorite booktubers wow. I haven't finished Tower of Dawn or KoA either despite being a huge SJM fan too, lol (the size of the books intimidated me and I was really busy with university and have just put it off).
Morgan Grace people always judge me when i say i’m a huge fan of her books get haven’t finished the last two books in tog...it’s nice to know i’m not alone!! thanks sm 💗💗
Great explanations about Sarah who is just a lovely person who gives insightful views about her personal life and writing techniques. As a composer of original music themes for book trailers about comics that are performed on the guitar, I love seeing reviews/promotions like yours since you are nicely direct with your notes and reasons for liking stories as a reader. That helps one write narratives for book trailers and your excited presence inspires musicians like me who perform original music that represents such excitement for characters and authors. Loved your focus on Sarah who is a queen and l like her take on comic book characters.
Thank you for the intro to SJM work. Obviously now all are anxious to start crescent city, but I have missed Catwoman as well. I liked both Throne of glass and ACOTAR, probably enjoyed the first more, though the second was definitely more fantastic.
Only got the first 3 in ToG before I had to get more $$. I already had Crescent City. This all is on Audible. Can I just say, OMFG! Now CC is my favorite! 97 chapters! And cried all thruout! I love when an author shows you something that explains something from way back in the story! Anyway, a must read!
I may or may not have become completely frickin obsessed with sjm, read all the books, own all the books I’ll be real, tower of dawn didn’t really fit in the ToG but I do suppose it collabs with (Celena’s) story I absolutely love crescent city so far and I finally think I got my friend hooked so I’ll be able to talk about actual crap like ships and whatever
Thank you for this video! I’ve actually been wondering where to start with all of these. You’ve definitely helped me decide without a doubt, and I’ll start with ACOTAR! 🎉 woot woot
I watched this video about a month ago and decided to listen to your advice and start throne of glass first even though I prefer romance and character building to plots I wanted to get a feel of her and OH MY it was a drag at first but the books just kept getting better and better currently on kingdom of ash and this series has made me cry so much can’t wait to start Acotar feel like I’ll like it more but Sarah J Maas is a queen 👑
Each book in the ToG series blew my mind more than the one before. I binged the first five books 3 or 4 years ago (Tower of Dawn was not published yet) and i was so obsessed with everything. It's rare for me to love the characters, the plot and the world building equally but this series did it. I was so invested in it. Then I read ACOTAR and i really didn't like it but I still read ACOMAF and,,,, I'm still screaming about it today 😂 I wasn't a big fan of ACOWAR but i loved the novella and i can't wait for the next book!!! I read Crescent City during the lockdown and honestly, i thought it was AMAZING. top Sarah J. Maas. I'll reaD anything she writes. I do hope her next books will have more diversity. it's my only complain about her books, she could do much better. Like, Nehemia. please... 😒 Just discovered your booktube chanel and i love it 😘
I actually started with the prequel in the throne of glass series and im so happy i did. It's still probably my favorite. Im on Empire of storms right now.
I can not tell you how nice it is to see someone be a hardcore fan for SJM still. Everybody hopped on the hate train a while back and made me feel like garbage for liking them in the first place. May or may not be the reason I left the book community recently. ACOMAF is my ride or die, but QOS is right there up there too. I love your tweets and came here from them. Love this video. 🥰
OMG hi twitter friend!! everyone really did hop on the hate train but i’m still her thriving...it’s okay to like whatever the hell you wanna like and not feel bad about it for once! she’s an amazing author and incredibly sweet person, and if we like her books, then fuck what anybody else thinks you know?
I noticed quite a few books behind you that I have read including the series I'm reading the now shatter me. Sarah j mass is an amazing author I love both sets of her books but my favourite is the court series love this video and thank you from Scotland for the upload 😁
Omg I love her books! I'm into Crescent City and def don't love it as I love her other series, but it's certainly good. And all I'm going to say is that you'll cry during KoA and Catwoman isn't as bad as everyone says it is.
Alana Treviño i thought i wasn’t gonna love crescent city that much when i was in the beginning of it but it’s one of my ABSOLUTE favorites now!! i can’t wait to pick up KOA and Catwoman!!
a lot of people trash talk sarah j mass, so I've been worried to start one of her books. I'm kind of interested in starting with her newest release.......
So glad I found your channel now I have someone I can lose my head with when it comes to SJM. I already finished Crescent City and I exaggerate you not I frickin lost my head. SJM YA QUEEEEEEEEEN
I'm on Heir of Fire as far as ToG goes. I've just been so intimidated by the size of the book. Though knowing it's your favorite gives me the motivation to try to keep going again. Sidenote: This reminded me of when i tried to put my friend onto Sarah J Maas, and I gave them 3 of my Throne of Glass books to borrow... It's been over 2years and I'm sure they've lost them. 😭 Oh well, that New ToG cover is calling me anyway 😂😂🤷🏾♀️
it’s the collectors edition of Throne of Glass!! and omg Heir of Fire is MASSIVE but it’s literally the bestttt! also i hate letting people borrow books and then never seeing them again, it’s the WORST
thank you for this video!! acotar has been on my amazon list for awhile now and eventually I am going to read throne of glass (not my top priority since its so fucking long) LOL. Ive been really into leigh bardugo and all the grishaverse books which i feel like leigh bardugo and sarah j maas are the queens of fantasy.
I love the ToG series. I still need to read the last two books and the novellas. Crown of Midnight was my favorite. I loved it so much it gave me a book hangover. lol I read ACOTAR, and I gave it 5/5 stars. But I didn't continue with the series though. I'm gonna have to. I bought Crescent City (House of Earth and Blood - would be good if I had the right title. lol). I started to read that but then stopped. I need to get back into it. It's good to see a video where there's positive talk about SJM and her books. Thanks for the video!
"someone could literally forget to tie their shoe lace and it will have something to do with, like, book three" giiiiiirrrrrlll 😂 tru tho
Nuzha her world building really do be like that thoooo😩
Yeah it do be like that.
I remember when I watched this video and saw this comment before starting the series and my first thought was, “oml what the heck” and I literally ANALYZED the first book and MADE SURE that nobody forgot to tie their shoelace. Upon further inspection, I realized that it was a metaphor😂 but literally, true tho
😂😂😂 Factual!
Is court of Silver flames connected to Acotar series and is yes should I read I before or after the Acotar series. It's a late comment
but pleeaaassee reply anyone
One word. Rhysand.
Evie Voss PERIODT
Sarah J Maas is my queen and I will read and love whatever she puts out... also I’m probably the only person on Earth that actually loves A Court Of Frost And Starlight lol
Tati Reads Books i actually liked acofas!! i’m just such trash for sarah she could write abt a rat and i would still give it 5 stars LOL
Mika Auguste me lol 😂
I’m just annoyed it wasn’t longer, hopefully there will be a next one. I love her stories so much, i just want to read and read and read.!! 😂
Lottexxx I get you, and I can’t wait for the new books about Nesta and Cassien 😍
Nope I love it aswell lol 😉
Has no one told u that u look like Nehemia???? Girl u beautifuuuuuuul
Lina Kristiansson SO SWEET!! i love nehemia with all my heart so that means the world ❤️
That's it. That does it. I can officially say you are the my favorite booktuber. You were already heading there since you are as sassy as you are insanely pretty (seriously, how is your skin is so smooth), but you are officially because not only are you a black SJM stan which is so few and in between (I've been feeling like I've been sitting on the island by myself). But also because your favorite book of the TOG book is the same as mine
And that is the one and only: Heir of Fire
I love that one so damn much.
It's up there for me with ACOMAF
And it's so annoying but also interesting at the fact so many readers say HOF is what turned them off from the series but it is the one that turned me FULLY ON. From that book on, the main character became my BABY. I love that girl. I will fight anyone who badmouths her. I love her as much as I love Harry J. Potter
So you are officially my favorite booktuber. Now where do I sign up to become your friend?
Create&Dream OKAY YES!! totally don’t get how people didn’t like Heir of Fire and stopped reading the series because of it like what??? this comment was sosososo sweet, it really made my day 😭💗
@@MikaAuguste OF COURSE. I'm happy to hear it made your day.
Also I don't understand it either. That book is soooooooo good. I look forward to reading it with each reread. That is the book that made me FALL IN LOVE WITH the series. With Aelin. It means so much to me.
I am not kidding though. Where on earth do I sign to become your friend? So we can gush more about SJM?
I’m a Sarah J Maas TRASH CAN
Aissata Amadou she can literally use me as her stepping stool
Mika Auguste lmao haven’t read any of her books yet but getting the one of glass soon
@@michellemahmud901 yay!💗 but you may want to read the ACOTAR series first as more things may make more sense.
Sarah J Mass is literally my life she is the reason I love to read. my fav is definitely ACOTAR
Holly Fowler ❤️❤️❤️ acotar is amazing
I’m currently on ACOMAF and I read all of throne of glass but mika you NEED to read tower of dawn and kingdom of ash like rn!! I’ll admit I sobbed on the floor at the end, but I’d love to know what you’ll think!!! :’) I’ve also become a huge sjm stan within the past few months, so I loved this video and am down to talk sjm anytime of the day 😂

@@MikaAuguste not tryna make her feel guilty just sharing my experience and thoughts. I feel you need to not force others to like it, I can have my opinion
You are such a Sarah J. Maas queen!! Love this video!!🧡🧡
Kristina Wolfe LOVE YOU BBY
I don't want this to sound weird, but I'm so glad I'm seeing more black booktubers because there are barely any. i luv your channel :)
yay!!!💓💓 thank you
yes Mika out here doing the lord's work
JocelynnReads the sarah j maas stans must rise
this video was soooo helpful! i’ve been wanting to get into sarah j maas for a good minute now but i’m terrible at reading series & am more of a standalone book kinda person BUT i’ve been wanting to see the hype cause i see her books EVERYWHERE and didn’t know where to start so this video helped a lot! thank you 💕 i just purchased the throne of glass set
Crescent City was my first Sarah J Maas book and I loved it. I’m currently reading ACOTR. I will eventually get to throne of glass. Sarah j Maas is quickly becoming my favorite author. ❤️
my jaw dropped when she lifted up her copy at the start it's so beautiful omg!!! Also I have such a sjm addiction!!!
Loved this video a lot. I read ACOTAR In January and it was my first Sarah j. Maas book and absolutely loved it, so I bought the other 3 books. Next I bought the TOG book set and after debating to myself if I really should invest myself on a ongoing series I ended up buying crescent city. I just love her writing so much, she gives me what I like which is plot, a healthy amount of romance and some nice sexy times lol
I am a very big Sarah J Maas fan, and I really love your videos, so I really appreciate this! (Also, girl, you are absolutely BEAUTIFUL!!!)
I'm a new fan, thanks for doing such a great spoiler free review!!! And your enthusiasm is SO INFECTIOUS I LUVVIT
Krys of course 🥰 and i really do love her books so i’m always so excited to talk about them!!!
My first SJM series was ACOTAR and I absolutely loved it. I’ve only just started reading the TOG series. I love her writing style and it’s truly amazing. I can’t wait to read through the TOG series.
OMG!!! goosebumps! goosebumps!! goosebumps!!! SJM surely knows how to give me goosebumps hahaha. i love every bit of her novels. you talking about the books is giving me goosebumps too!!! i hope we get to see the movie. they've been dragging it for too long
Awere Mayowa Omg i’ve been WAITING for a movie 😭 it’s been like 5 years i think :(
@@MikaAuguste you're right
I just found your channel, saw the title of this video and subscribed because you are my kindred spirit.
Fireheart Galathynius thank you so much!!🥰
I love Sarah's writing and i've read all her books except the new one. Once i read one book i couldn't stop reading! She's amazing!
M. R. Adams she really is!!
I just bought the first book of ACOTR and I haven’t started yet, but I’m so dang excited!! This video made me even more excited! ❤️
You're getting me SO HYPED UP about reading heir of fire, I literally JUST finished crown of midnight like 2 minutes ago
the content we did not deserve but you delivered!! loved it
Valeria Quintero LMAO i gotta be there for my sjm stans ya know?
Awesome vlog‼️💯🩵💖
proud to be your 2000 like :D
My Throne of Glass series just arrived and I saw this vid. You convinced me to put down all of the books that I am reading and start with TOG.
yay!!❤️❤️❤️
mika uploading once a week? in am i in heaven? (or hell)
myonna reads we both know it won’t last
I was like yasss to everything you said. And when you said Heir of Fire was your favorite in the TOG series I cheered because me too. Like you I found her stuff at a very rough time in my life and it gave me *life*
Selkie's Musings YES heir of fire is sososo good! i’m so glad we can relate to the way her books helped us❤️
Mika Auguste I feel like her books are so relevant to issues we face today and that’s why they hit so hard. I can’t wait to see her hopefully go even further into tackling big topics through her stories
Selkie's Musings i completely agree. have you picked up crescent city yet?? it’s my new favorite of hers by far!! so amazing
Mika Auguste omg I can’t wait. I think I’m getting it tomorrow
Picked up ACOTAR today and I’m so excited to get into them now!!
I was looking up Crescent City reviews before I started and I came upon this video and loved it so much! one of my new favorite booktubers wow. I haven't finished Tower of Dawn or KoA either despite being a huge SJM fan too, lol (the size of the books intimidated me and I was really busy with university and have just put it off).
Morgan Grace people always judge me when i say i’m a huge fan of her books get haven’t finished the last two books in tog...it’s nice to know i’m not alone!! thanks sm 💗💗
Great explanations about Sarah who is just a lovely person who gives insightful views about her personal life and writing techniques. As a composer of original music themes for book trailers about comics that are performed on the guitar, I love seeing reviews/promotions like yours since you are nicely direct with your notes and reasons for liking stories as a reader. That helps one write narratives for book trailers and your excited presence inspires musicians like me who perform original music that represents such excitement for characters and authors. Loved your focus on Sarah who is a queen and l like her take on comic book characters.
Dorothy Lover thank you so much for this comment!! 💗💗💗
why am I barely subscribing to your channel???... you are literally the best🤩 don’t mind me watching this hella late lol
Kathy Corona ahahaha💗💗💗
you literally just described my deep dependent relationship with all of sjm books
i love this video nearly as much as i love sjm and her books
Šárka Beránková this comment made me so happy ❤️ THANK YOU! and yess we absolutely love sjm in this household
Thank you for the intro to SJM work. Obviously now all are anxious to start crescent city, but I have missed Catwoman as well. I liked both Throne of glass and ACOTAR, probably enjoyed the first more, though the second was definitely more fantastic.
Tomer Armarnik you’re gonna love Crescent City! It’s literally a favorite of mine now❤️❤️
Only got the first 3 in ToG before I had to get more $$. I already had Crescent City. This all is on Audible. Can I just say, OMFG! Now CC is my favorite! 97 chapters! And cried all thruout! I love when an author shows you something that explains something from way back in the story! Anyway, a must read!
Tower of dawn was my favorite book in the throne of glass series🤩, I hope you like it when you get around to reading it☺️😁.
Brianna Shaw i’ve heard a few people say this so it’s making me really excited to read it!💗
Can you do a tbr or review of all the books you've read so far this year! I loved your other videos about it😁
Emily yes!! i have another video planned to post soon, but hopefully sometime in march i can film a “books i’ve read recently” video 🥰
I spent the quarantine reading SJ Mass and now I keep reading the same books over and over. Can't wait for A Court Of Silver Flames
I may or may not have become completely frickin obsessed with sjm, read all the books, own all the books
I’ll be real, tower of dawn didn’t really fit in the ToG but I do suppose it collabs with (Celena’s) story
I absolutely love crescent city so far and I finally think I got my friend hooked so I’ll be able to talk about actual crap like ships and whatever
Olivia Hey YES i love when people are sjm trash hahahah....i’m so not ready to read tower of dawn oof
Thank you for this video! I’ve actually been wondering where to start with all of these. You’ve definitely helped me decide without a doubt, and I’ll start with ACOTAR! 🎉 woot woot
YAY! i’m glad it helped, and i hope you live acotar!! the second book in that series is truly immaculate
Mika Auguste yay I’m very excited! Thank you!
I stan ACOTAR, but I have to read Throne Of Glass now🥰❤
Love your channel !!! 💋💯Your enthusiasm & passion of books makes me wanna read more if I had the time. 😊 keep up the good work 😍
Martine Dorestant love you mom
I watched this video about a month ago and decided to listen to your advice and start throne of glass first even though I prefer romance and character building to plots I wanted to get a feel of her and OH MY it was a drag at first but the books just kept getting better and better currently on kingdom of ash and this series has made me cry so much can’t wait to start Acotar feel like I’ll like it more but Sarah J Maas is a queen 👑
Each book in the ToG series blew my mind more than the one before. I binged the first five books 3 or 4 years ago (Tower of Dawn was not published yet) and i was so obsessed with everything. It's rare for me to love the characters, the plot and the world building equally but this series did it. I was so invested in it.
Then I read ACOTAR and i really didn't like it but I still read ACOMAF and,,,, I'm still screaming about it today 😂 I wasn't a big fan of ACOWAR but i loved the novella and i can't wait for the next book!!!
I read Crescent City during the lockdown and honestly, i thought it was AMAZING. top Sarah J. Maas. I'll reaD anything she writes. I do hope her next books will have more diversity. it's my only complain about her books, she could do much better. Like, Nehemia. please... 😒
Just discovered your booktube chanel and i love it 😘
YES i love hearing the stories of how people realized they love SJM😍 and ahhh thank you so much for your support 💗
Thank you this was really helpful. I want to start reading her works but I didn’t know what to start with and this was really helpful♥️♥️
I’m so glad I found ur channel. I love sjm!!
Rosa thank you so much💗
Sarah J Maas is the reason I love books now I love them so much
Connie Jo yesss i love her sm
I actually started with the prequel in the throne of glass series and im so happy i did. It's still probably my favorite. Im on Empire of storms right now.
The Tommy Dean oh wow i haven’t heard many people say that assassins blade is their favorite!! i love thay for you hahaha💗
i Stan Sarah SO MUCH
ugh already read the throne of glass series twice ❤️❤️❤️
Angel Brion ok go off!! love that😂💗
I can not tell you how nice it is to see someone be a hardcore fan for SJM still. Everybody hopped on the hate train a while back and made me feel like garbage for liking them in the first place. May or may not be the reason I left the book community recently.
ACOMAF is my ride or die, but QOS is right there up there too. I love your tweets and came here from them. Love this video. 🥰
OMG hi twitter friend!! everyone really did hop on the hate train but i’m still her thriving...it’s okay to like whatever the hell you wanna like and not feel bad about it for once! she’s an amazing author and incredibly sweet person, and if we like her books, then fuck what anybody else thinks you know?
I am loving the covers. I've never read any of her books and apparently...I need to get on that.
Imani Moon omfg read them and let me know how you feel!! also yes the covers are SO pretty 💗
I am convinced. I think I am going to start with crescent moon. We shall see.
I literally completed the acotar books and the throne of Glass series in 2 months now I regret it
poseidon well lucky for you house of earth and blood comes out today!!
@@MikaAuguste already pre-ordered it so basically there is K-pop hole but I am in the j-mass hole rn
Same about Heir of Fire!
I noticed quite a few books behind you that I have read including the series I'm reading the now shatter me. Sarah j mass is an amazing author I love both sets of her books but my favourite is the court series love this video and thank you from Scotland for the upload 😁
Linda Napier yess! 🤍
Omg I love her books! I'm into Crescent City and def don't love it as I love her other series, but it's certainly good. And all I'm going to say is that you'll cry during KoA and Catwoman isn't as bad as everyone says it is.
Alana Treviño i thought i wasn’t gonna love crescent city that much when i was in the beginning of it but it’s one of my ABSOLUTE favorites now!! i can’t wait to pick up KOA and Catwoman!!
Just found you because I needed to know where to start and I loveeeee your video and energy subscribed!!
Yay! Thank you so much!
@@MikaAuguste your welcome!!!
a lot of people trash talk sarah j mass, so I've been worried to start one of her books. I'm kind of interested in starting with her newest release.......
So glad I found your channel now I have someone I can lose my head with when it comes to SJM. I already finished Crescent City and I exaggerate you not I frickin lost my head. SJM YA QUEEEEEEEEEN
Hannah Gonzales AH yes crescent city was incredible!!! my new absolute favorite by her! ❤️❤️❤️
@@MikaAuguste i hope book 2 comes soon 😭
omg u are sooo pretty! I can't even
thank you so much omg
gurl drop that skin care routine pls
omg i might one day in a vlog!!
Yes Sarah J Maas is the queen 👑 👑 👑
Hannah Jo Smithheart she isssss
your voice is so soothing....
Indhumathi Shivakumar lol thank you i literally hate my voice sometimes ahhh😅
Mika Auguste It’s so good. it will be awesome if u narrate audiobooks
I'm on Heir of Fire as far as ToG goes. I've just been so intimidated by the size of the book. Though knowing it's your favorite gives me the motivation to try to keep going again.
Sidenote: This reminded me of when i tried to put my friend onto Sarah J Maas, and I gave them 3 of my Throne of Glass books to borrow...
It's been over 2years and I'm sure they've lost them. 😭 Oh well, that New ToG cover is calling me anyway 😂😂🤷🏾♀️
it’s the collectors edition of Throne of Glass!! and omg Heir of Fire is MASSIVE but it’s literally the bestttt! also i hate letting people borrow books and then never seeing them again, it’s the WORST
thank you for this video!! acotar has been on my amazon list for awhile now and eventually I am going to read throne of glass (not my top priority since its so fucking long) LOL. Ive been really into leigh bardugo and all the grishaverse books which i feel like leigh bardugo and sarah j maas are the queens of fantasy.
I love ur chanell soooooo much
thank you so much🥺💓
I've read the first two in the ACOTAR series and the first three in the TOG series. Still working my way through those 🖤
Olivia's Catastrophe yaaay! happy you’re reading them💗
you are so pretty omg i love your videos
Lara Pereira dos Santos thank you so much omg🥺❤️
I’ve read every single SJM book. I love them all but I go the hardest for ACOTR
hell yeah!! ACOTAR is amazinggg
I love the ToG series. I still need to read the last two books and the novellas. Crown of Midnight was my favorite. I loved it so much it gave me a book hangover. lol I read ACOTAR, and I gave it 5/5 stars. But I didn't continue with the series though. I'm gonna have to. I bought Crescent City (House of Earth and Blood - would be good if I had the right title. lol). I started to read that but then stopped. I need to get back into it. It's good to see a video where there's positive talk about SJM and her books. Thanks for the video!
I'm so glad I found your channel subbed!
