I know right! I loved the moments whenever Aelin blinked at Fenrys in that secret code of theirs and only the both of them knew what it meant. And even in Wendlyn when Aelin had just escaped she was using the codes because words were still to hard for her. It just melts my heart to see them share this special code, something just between the two of them and that no one else knows the meaning to, not even Rowan. I loved it!!
Abigail Maceira I love their friendship!!!!!!! Oh my god !!!! My heart broke when Fenrys and Aelin took the blood oath !!!! I am in love with Fenrys ! I can read a whole book that revolves around Fenrys!! I love their arc through the books ! I am in love with the part I think in the 5th book where Fenrys and Rowan had the “ kill me if I am given the order to kill Aelin and the imma miss this court “ and “ I’m thankful to have had an opportunity “ situation! I know it’s kind of a sin but I kinda pair Aelin and Fenrys..kinda hard 🙈😜💔
Queen of Shadows is my all time favorite too from the series. So sad this series is over. I hope we get a spin off down the line like we are with ACOTAR.
I agree, a lot of things I was super looking forward to in this book got left out! Hollin wasn't in it at all and neither was Vaughan, we never got to see the Wastes, I feel like Eyllwe got underrepresented, and the worst part for me was that NOX OWEN one of my favorite characters in the first book, whom I waited for for 5 books to reappear, made it in as a MESSENGER. That's IT. He delivered a couple messages for other people, but he NEVER DID ANYTHING HIMSELF. HE AND AELIN NEVER REUNITED. I am just so mad about that #noxdeservedbetter
Wow. Sarah could have definitely fit that in. At this point I think Sarah should split her series finales into two books to fit everything and make it satisfying whilst emulating her vision because it's the second time they have been called underwhelming.
I would just like to say,Christine, I found your channel when I read the first Throne of Glass book back when there was only 3 books out and i've watched every booktalk thereafter. You introduced me to the booktube community and booksplosion. To see you do the KoA booktalk now is amazing!Thank you! :) :) :)
This series was amazing, definitely one of my favorite of all times; although I agree that this book is not my favorite of the series (don't get me wrong, it is amazing). The scene after they rescue Aelin and she screams "take it off" is heartbreaking, and with the audiobook it was just agonizing. (Also, I couldn't help but notice every time Sarah wrote "her throat bobbed", "she said quietly, but not weakly" or "not an ember", it is just so unique to her books and they come back pretty often).
Loved the book. But I was hoping that Aelin, Chaol and Dorian goodbye was more. I needed it to be more! I just suffered through 8 books of this series and I get just basically one paragraph 😭
I mean honestly, if I'm putting myself in their shoes and we all just went through indescribable shit for an extended duration of time....I wouldn't have much to say 😅 id be at a total loss for words and probably just withdraw for a year or two. So it didn't come off as weird to me. But I can see how it would be disappointing to some
I have never seen anything more relatable than having to put (part one) in the title because Kingdom of Ash was such a HUGE book that it needs two parts😂👏
I'm gonna be honest, this book wasn't my favourite. I didn't like how we didn't get to delve particularly deep into each character because she has so many characters and she jumped between too quickly, but also, it didn't make me laugh as much as the others. I would happily read another book with Manon and Dorian tho
@@polandbananasBOOKS omg hello I cry. just wanted to add, I've been watching your videos since around 2013 and it felt so amazing to find someone who I relate to so much and who shared my love of books and storytelling. Especially someone so beautiful and cool :') ty for existing
So accurate when you talked about Hollin. I asked about him to my friend (who already finished the book), and she's like "sINCE WHEN DORIAN HAS A BROTHER?"
Oh my God "How you could read this without reading Tower of Dawn" XD EXACTLY!!!! If anyone tried that i feel so bad for them, too many characters you wouldn't get to know PLUS the two plot related things revealed in tower of dawn that ARE NOT gone into detail in kigdom of Ash PLUS Chaol's romance PLUS watching Chaol change as an individual
Oh my gosh yes! I agree with everything. I cried to much throughout this book too and I was a complete wreck when Aelin finally got out of the coffin. I loved how that whole piece was a combination of them saving her and her saving herself because if it had been one or the other it would not have felt as real to me.
@@jessabibliophile manon, nesryn there were so many power changes in this series, new lords, ladies, kings and queens etc so yeah, there wil be a lot of coronations, I'd personally like to write a few inspired by aelin and cinder's ;D
I RELATE SO MUCH TO YOUR SORSCHA COMMENT LIKE SHE APPEARS FOR LIKE 10% OF A BOOK AND DORIAN IS SO FREAKING AFFECTED BY HER I’M TRIGGERED AS HECKK SHSBSJSJSJ
YES! I felt the same way about Holland and I’m here for a Dorion and Manon spin off. I heard that the world of Throne of glass book coming out next year is gonna talk about what happens after but I want more!!
Your channel is how I found throne of glass so when I finished kingdom of ash and I cane here and it wasn’t here yet I was kind of sook but now it’s here and I’m even more shoook ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
It’s so funny to me that u thought Aelin wasn’t relatable in Empire of Storms cause that honestly had my peak Aelin stan moments. I love when she swaggers and has her cocky moments lol
I love this series and adore (most) of the characters but I had a TOUGH time getting through this book. I found myself getting bored in places, which isn't something I'm use to with Maas' work. I think it had to do with the fact that the book felt like one giant battle interspersed with small plot points. Not saying I didn't thoroughly enjoy PARTS of the book, but all in all, not my favorite. Unfortunately, I'm disappointed by this book and was hoping for a bit more from the finale.
I felt the same way! The major plot points happened towards more than half way through the book and the build up to them shouldn’t have been as long as it was. Still love the series though, my heart is definitely heavy because it’s over!
Anyone else use her booktalks as a way to cope with finishing books? Just me? Ok
same !!!!!
same sister
Seriously same!!!
Same haha
Reagan Singer EVERY TIME I FINSIH THE BOOKS I DO THAT AND I JUST GOT TO KINGDOM OF ASH AND IM SO HAPPY SHE POSTED THIS
Okay but can we talk about Fenrys 😭 annnd his relationship with Aelin 💔
Abigail Maceira best friendship ever

fenrys was SO SO SO GOOD in this book, the bond between him and aelin was so cute wow I love their friendship
Manon and Dorian definitely deserve their own novella. All the couples actually could have their own novella I wouldn't be mad
Omg I can't when she was screaming take it off I started crying
FINALLY I LOVE THIS
omg that hurt
I cried so much! In fact the whole part from Fenrys breaking through his vow and knowing how much pain he's in.... its so heartbreaking!
@@Jennywren7Blogspot when aelin gave him the blood oath to save him I died ❤❤
@@bronajoyce3955 omg same! There were so many moments in this book that broke my heart
But when Aedion pushed Lysandra out in the snow I was like HECK NO NO BAD NOOOOOO
I was disgusted 😤
I was just starting to get over KOA and now I’m going to watch this and feel like how I did 4 months ago
I just finished reading it yesterday.. and my exams are going on.. I need this booktalk to get all the feels out 😭😭
exactly it’s heartbreaking
SAME AGGH
"I loved all of the characters. Aedion, maybe not as much as everyone else." A summary of my KoA feelings.
Queen of Shadows is my all time favorite too from the series. So sad this series is over. I hope we get a spin off down the line like we are with ACOTAR.
SAMMEEE QoS is the best!
QoS is definitely one of sjm's best works
Queen of Shadows is my favorite too!

Nox will forever be my favorite character
Bri elle Kingdom of Ash wasn’t underwhelming. But there are just some things that SJM left out that could’ve made the book better.
kazbrekkerisemo we need a Manorian book FOR SURE. I feel like that one is more overdue than the Nessian one. 😭
When Dorian mentions Sorscha: whO EVEN IS THAT honestly me😂😂
I would just like to say,Christine, I found your channel when I read the first Throne of Glass book back when there was only 3 books out and i've watched every booktalk thereafter. You introduced me to the booktube community and booksplosion. To see you do the KoA booktalk now is amazing!Thank you! :) :) :)
@@polandbananasBOOKS hi Christine! I love your video! Keep it up! 👍🙌 ❤❤
"Why do I care about murtagh why" that is definitely me
Yes, thank you, Dorian and Manon got no bow/complete wrap up and also I WANTED TO SEE THE WASTES ☹️
WE NEED A MANORIAN BOOK 😭😭😭
The Thirteen 😭 Respect
Also Dorian’s dad has the SAME NAME AS HIM!!
Can we talk about how cute/tragic the blinking was? And Moonbeam 😂💙
And Lord Lorcan Lochan 😂
This series was amazing, definitely one of my favorite of all times; although I agree that this book is not my favorite of the series (don't get me wrong, it is amazing).

(Also, I couldn't help but notice every time Sarah wrote "her throat bobbed", "she said quietly, but not weakly" or "not an ember", it is just so unique to her books and they come back pretty often).
Queen of Shadows was one of the most fulfilling books I’ve ever read! Definitely the best enjoyable build up/pay off for me of the series :)
Ok Fenrys is the best character and you can’t even argue w me. Manon is a close second
Hollin wasn’t the only one missing, don’t forget Vaughan
If Sjm ever does a spin off about Rowan and the cadre, Vaughan should get loads of development.
Anyone else LOVE the part where there is the cross over with Rhys and Feyre!!
i got so excited and then realized it's not coming out until tomorrow
Alex Nisipeanu same. I was ready to procrastinate my homework happily
Me too 😋
You see aedion made mistakes and you kinda wanna hit him with a shovel at times but HOW DO YOU NOT LOVE HIM.
Hooooolin
Loved the book. But I was hoping that Aelin, Chaol and Dorian goodbye was more. I needed it to be more! I just suffered through 8 books of this series and I get just basically one paragraph 😭
SAME. Their farewell didn’t do justice for how much they went through and how much they grew as individuals but most of all their friendship 😭😭
I mean honestly, if I'm putting myself in their shoes and we all just went through indescribable shit for an extended duration of time....I wouldn't have much to say 😅 id be at a total loss for words and probably just withdraw for a year or two. So it didn't come off as weird to me. But I can see how it would be disappointing to some
I’ve waited four years to finally watch this video (literally)
I clicked on this video so fast just to find out I have to wait 18 MORE HOURS. Aaahhhhh so excited though.
And can i add how much ive cried when aelin keeps screaming "take if off" i feel every pain that she went through.
I have never seen anything more relatable than having to put (part one) in the title because Kingdom of Ash was such a HUGE book that it needs two parts😂👏
I want a novella about Vaughn's freaking vacation. I bet he had a ton of fun.
lol yea, i bet
I'm gonna be honest, this book wasn't my favourite. I didn't like how we didn't get to delve particularly deep into each character because she has so many characters and she jumped between too quickly, but also, it didn't make me laugh as much as the others.

I found your amazing channel through watching the first Throne of Glass video. I'm soooooo glad I found it! I LOVE this video!!!!!!!
YAY! thank you so much!
Literally have been checking your youtube channel for MONTHS waiting for this video. I have been blessed on this Lunar New Year
thank you ,3

This is my hangover treat.
I want a book about Manon and Dorian so hard
I started this book when I was in middle school, now I’m about to be a senior and I’m not ready to leave these characters.
Listen I haven’t mustered the courage to read this book yet because I’m not ready for it to be over and I’ve already cried over it twice.
The entire book was emotional I cried so much DX
I loved the darker morbid take because I love darker things
YES OMFG THIS IS MY FAVORITE BOOK TALK OF YOURS TYSM FOR FINALLY POSTING IT
i absaloutly love all the end game couples literally all my ships sailed and i love the friendship between fenrys and aelin
So accurate when you talked about Hollin. I asked about him to my friend (who already finished the book), and she's like "sINCE WHEN DORIAN HAS A BROTHER?"
It is the las book talk of Tog series! I am getting so emotional 😭😭😭
This series broke my heart man 😭 bit it was so good and I'm so sad it's over now. But I've read all of Sarah J. Maas's books and they're fantastic.
Remember when Celaena only needs to win the contest to be free?
LITTLE DID WE KNOW OMG
How far we have come
I literally just finished reading it yesterday 😭😭😭
I NEED this booktalk!!!
Christine has once again blessed our screens 😍
Why is it part 1 and 2 know? Just make it all into one big video. You did it for Tower Of Dawn.
Is anyone else so excited when they saw this they spilled coffee everywhere ? No just me .. ok then 👌
Hannah Maehrer same though
Oh my God
"How you could read this without reading Tower of Dawn" XD EXACTLY!!!! If anyone tried that i feel so bad for them, too many characters you wouldn't get to know PLUS the two plot related things revealed in tower of dawn that ARE NOT gone into detail in kigdom of Ash PLUS Chaol's romance PLUS watching Chaol change as an individual
AHHHHH IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS FOREVER
QUEEN OF SHADOWS IS MY FAVORITE TOO!!!!! OMG NO ONE LIKED IT AS MUCH AS ME!! I DONT KNOW WHY THO ITS SOO GOOD!!!
Hi I’m watching this a year later but it’s my favorite too!!!
I cried so much for Aelin. Especially with the damn mask how could you not. I didn't want her to suffer anymore :(
Finally!!! I’ve wanted to see the relatability of reading the book! I congratulate you!!!
Finally!!! The angels are singing, Rainbows are everywhere. OUR QUEEN HAS FINALLY POSTED THE BOOK TALK WE HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR.
I love listening to throne of glass book 5,7 audio book.
OMG HOW DID I MISS THIS UPLOAD I’ve been waiting for this for soooooo long
ive been waiting for this video for SO LONG YESSSS
Oh my gosh yes! I agree with everything. I cried to much throughout this book too and I was a complete wreck when Aelin finally got out of the coffin. I loved how that whole piece was a combination of them saving her and her saving herself because if it had been one or the other it would not have felt as real to me.
I've been waiting since October for this video!! And now this video is bringing back all the feels I felt when I finished the book
I've been waiting for this video forever then Christine uploaded 2 vids dedicated to KoA. YAAAAAAAS!!!
I really wanted to know if Dorian got a ceremony like Aelin when she got crowned.
ME TOO
@@jessabibliophile manon, nesryn there were so many power changes in this series, new lords, ladies, kings and queens etc so yeah, there wil be a lot of coronations, I'd personally like to write a few inspired by aelin and cinder's ;D
There's gonna be 2 parts!!!!!! YEEEES
I somehow missed the notification for this and I got so EXCITED when I saw you'd posted this holy shit
Gave up on the series but still watched because I love your content
Half an hour more can't waittt
and onto part two!!!
I RELATE SO MUCH TO YOUR SORSCHA COMMENT LIKE SHE APPEARS FOR LIKE 10% OF A BOOK AND DORIAN IS SO FREAKING AFFECTED BY HER I’M TRIGGERED AS HECKK SHSBSJSJSJ
YES! I felt the same way about Holland and I’m here for a Dorion and Manon spin off. I heard that the world of Throne of glass book coming out next year is gonna talk about what happens after but I want more!!
IM SO PROUD OF YOU.
I just finished Kingdom of Ash a few minutes ago and all I can say is that my eyes are burning and it hurts.
May I ask who will aelin end up with in the end?
Geneen i mean if you want the spoilers😂
Rowan
@@taylorangelinaa Thank you!! 😄
Geneen ofc😊
Your channel is how I found throne of glass so when I finished kingdom of ash and I cane here and it wasn’t here yet I was kind of sook but now it’s here and I’m even more shoook ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
I can't believe that this book series is over :( I'm not ready to say goodbye to it.

Yay I'm so fluffing right now!!! happy I've been waiting so long for this!!!!! I love you christine😍😍😍❤️❤️
I'M SO EXCITED
I always come to your booktalks RIGHT after i finish the book and I'm SO sad now :(((((
I always watch these before I finish the book so I can be prepared for my outrages ahead of time.
EVERYTHING IS SOOOOO SIRUS!!! 😭😭
"Aedion, maybe not as much as everyone else".
Yay! I've been waiting to hear your thoughts since I finished the book when it came out. It was a wild ride and I still can't believe it's over!
If you haven't read the assassin's blade you should definitely read that before throne of glass, sooo much insight on Aelin and Sam!!
Love this series
"They're both lighthearted, snarky assholes a lot of the time." I'VE NEVER HEARD OF ANYTHING MORE ACCURATE
FINALLY!! 😂❤️ Love your channel, Christine :)
I WAS WAITING FOR THIS OMG
