You are such an amazing story teller. I love the way you show your genuine love for the story and characters in such a relatable way. You are so talented and beautiful. Thank you so much for sharing your time and passion with us. I can’t wait for future book videos!
The fact that I found this series two days ago, caught up today and anguished in the realization that I'd have to wait for the last video just for it to come out today? It's just meant to be
Binged all 9 videos in like 2 days cause I just don't have time to read the books myself... Thank you so much for being so thorough and fun and keeping me sucked in the whole time!!! Idk if it will be your vibe but there's this book series about mermaids called the waterfire saga, first book is called Deep Blue. I started it mannnyy years ago but couldn't stick with it for some reason, it's another YA war book with a beautiful and tragic main girl. I'd be overjoyed if you find it interesting and did a recap series about it!!
ohh i've never heard of those - but i really like mermaids!! i'll add it to my list to check it out :) right now im starting to work on some cruel prince videos, and i am still trying to work through the blood and ash series lol i think im going to try and tackle the prequel series first and see if i like it more than the main story!
OMG I have to point out (because I was shook) that Maeve did not transform into just anyone trying to seduce Erawan. She transformed into Aelin which he was slightly interested in to feel like he bested her and then MANON who he actually wanted🤢🤢🤢
(i never finished the final book) but i LOVED the story and writing style. creepy in the best way. there's a certain scene that i genuinely think of all the time, it's just stuck with me like crazy. maybe i'll put these on the list to recap!
I love your retelling of this book! 🥹 I just finished the series and I watched your part 1 summary, But I heard 2 things in this video that made me go, wait a minute… 1) I didn’t read it like Lorcan summoned Elide. Lorcan was kinda ready to embrace death but it says “his name on her lips had been a summons he could never deny” so I read that like she pulled him back from death. 🥹🫶 2) Maeve didn’t make herself out to be someone from Erawan’s past. She first showed up as herself, then changed into Aelin, then into Manon! 😭 which was just traumatizing cuz at this point I think most of us are rooting for Dorian & Manon
I finished the book last week and literally sobbed. It was the first time I've cried in a book in YEARS! It was sooooo good! P.S. I've been looking forward to this video ALL WEEK haha. Thank you ♡♡
that's in my list!! it's another one of my besties favorites. if you're looking for recaps right now tho, cari can read has done them!! i may not do the ones she's already done, but i know it's a huge universe so i can look more into it :)
We did it!!! Thank you for taking us through this amazing ride. Couldn't have done it without you, although I've just bought the paperbacks and I'm gonna give them a try, knowing that you've forged the way
I'm going to be honest, if it wasn't for your plot recaps IDK that I would know the plot of this series. THERES SO SO MUCH to this series & my brain gets too overwhelmed. As someone who likes to just vibe with their stories I thank you for this TOG playlist! 😊
Thank you for the recaps! I read the first book on my first year of high school and didn't know there was a complete series until adulthood! I was so gutted to know that I missed out on reading the books as they released lol but now I don't have time to read through the whole series. I'm so glad I found your channel! Saved me a whole lot of reading and now my high school self can finally be satisfied to know wtf those tombs or crypts for Elena meant in the first book after years of puzzling over them haha. 🥺
Loved this video series and your energy! I’ve been reading ToG and watching your videos at the same time. Also, I’m completely converted, I’m a proud Dorian’s stan now 👑💙
Thank you for this video! I stopped after EOS because I struggled with how dark it was getting and heard that the last book was way worse. I really wanted to know how it ended so thank you for the way you delivered the story ❤
aw yes, i totally understand. im routinely shocked by how dark SJM's writing can get, and it always seems to hit when you least expect it!! im glad you were able to listen and enjoy the ending!!
Aelin's decision to randomly trade Elena for Erawan pissed me off so much and almost ruined the entire book for me because what do you mean you're gonna sacrifice the fate of the entire world for a person who is ALREADY dead and who started this whole mess? And like the whole time it's been presented as either the Firebringer can defeat Maeve and Erawan OR you have to get rid of Erawan by forging the Lock so the fact that Aelin forged the lock, lost her powers AND didn't send Erawan away is BONKERS i dont understand that decision, it doesn't make any sense and i'm rlly mad about it. Also, i hate the trope of a super powerful character losing their power (like Nesta in acosf....)
It literally took me out of the book. So random, not at all aligned with her motivations like what?! Just for the keys to not matter like there were better ways to do that. Ruined my experience and made 0 sense. So she was going to die for Elena who is already dead😂 Forgot to mention then Elena being erased from existence without another mention was wild😂😂😂
In my head Dorian is gonna live for a long time and be with Manon and Caol and Yeren’s life is tied together so there gonna love forever as well I refuse to believe any thing else
😅 It is paradox, I love Acotar for its characters, ToG for the amazing story and lore and CC1 for the world building....what then happened to CC2 to CC3 😢 made me sad, because SJM can wright interwoven wonderful stories as you showed so perfectly by this video series.
I’d love if you could review skukduggery pleasant! It’s my fav book series and is long af. But if you even did phase 1 that would be so cool! Love your videos so much
he physically died when the magic keeping his body alive was drained, but his spirit was still around in their version of the other side. so when aelin and dorian go there to forge the lock, his spirit shows up and steps in to take dorian's place and safe his life!
@@fantasyfixations thanks for explaining - an going thru series but could not wait to see how it ends to loved your video. I am still going to try to finish the series.

Same. I hated this. And, also that she fights her way back to Rowan just to almost sacrifice herself AGAIN with Maeve and Erawan. So much rage.
It literally took me out of the book. So random, not at all aligned with her motivations like what?! Just for the keys to not matter like there were better ways to do that. Ruined my experience and made 0 sense. So she was going to die for Elena who is already dead😂 Forgot to mention then Elena being erased from existence without another mention was wild😂😂😂
@@LoveSierraAnastasia same i got sooo mad after that point it fully took me out of the story
In my head Dorian is gonna live for a long time and be with Manon and Caol and Yeren’s life is tied together so there gonna love forever as well
I refuse to believe any thing else
NOW WHAT DO I DO WITH MY LIFE
hahaha what books should i do next??
Blasphemyyyyy!!! why is KLAUS vernon😂😂😂 ABSOLUTELY NOT😂
😅 It is paradox, I love Acotar for its characters, ToG for the amazing story and lore and CC1 for the world building....what then happened to CC2 to CC3 😢 made me sad, because SJM can wright interwoven wonderful stories as you showed so perfectly by this video series.
I’d love if you could review skukduggery pleasant! It’s my fav book series and is long af. But if you even did phase 1 that would be so cool! Love your videos so much
thank you!! i'll check those out ^^
So Dorian’s dad sacrificed himself ? But I thought he died in an earlier book.
he physically died when the magic keeping his body alive was drained, but his spirit was still around in their version of the other side. so when aelin and dorian go there to forge the lock, his spirit shows up and steps in to take dorian's place and safe his life!
