    I must say, your're the first person in my 33 year life that knew the book "The phantom of the opera" but never heard of the Musical first. That is an accomplishment, I must say 😂

      @Trinity M Speaking of nerds in high school, you wouldn't, by any chance, know Patti Smith's "We Were Kids"? She tells of the early days of her career at Max's Kansas City (a notorious punk bar) as if it were the first place where she and her friends got to be the cool kids in the lunch room.

    • @eleanor_carys
      @eleanor_carys 2 года назад +4

      i would say robin hobb's writing style is generally quite slow but i find that the characters are so complex and captiving that i don't mind the slower plot. However, i did find that the liveship traders trilogy is more fast paced due to its third person perspective and epic storyline, so maybe try that series! hope that was helpful :)

    • @makaylagrant873
      @makaylagrant873 2 года назад +2

    • @ellias
      @ellias  2 года назад

      hmmm her books are really heavy with characterization so if that isn't something you like to read in books (esp with slow writing and story in general) i would say maybe if by the first book you're not feeling it, then maybe it isn't for you :/

  • @whynterstorme9592

    You didn't know Phantom is a musical?! I thought people only read the book because of the musical -- I did 🤣
    Chainsaw Man starts in October in Japan! So sooooon.
    I hesitantly started Royal Assassin this week and just as I feared it's so slow... it makes me feel bad cos all of booktube praises Hobb and her books and I'm just like "why is she dragging out the parts that aren't interesting and skipping the parts that have potential" I swear, I'm 20% into RA and I'm only here cos of the Fool, he's literally the only person I care about and want to know about.

    • @ellias
      @ellias  2 года назад

      OMGGG hmmm maybe you might like the ship of magic then because it has more characters and its third person buuuuuuuttt i would say if you don't like slow writing and heavy characertization then maybe it won't do to read them all because it's definitely a slow burner for sure but glad you gave it a chance!!!
