Unfortunately, we have to contrive the forced marriage anyway, because Hot Trends.
Honestly, yes, this is great. The way the whole decision of marriage happened was so bland like, Lou's supposed to be badass but she's asking someone else to protest the decision in her place? Also, if Lou protested the marriage, why didn't Arch Bishop himself just say they'd frame her as a witch if she didn't comply!

@@withcindy when u posted the video about your book, i was actually going to ask if your main character (or even the little sister) pretending to be male was an option or if that would be too cliche. but that is/was a reality for women just trying to get by in a man's world. i think it's all in how it's written.
Ngl, I really wanna see a character who pretends to be a man out of necessity and once doing so realizes "hey wtf this feels so right, am I trans?" Maybe I'll have to write that myself

"Why is a black witch named 'Coco'? Is there an Asian witch named 'Dim Sum'? I guess it could have been worse. I mean, there could have been an Asian witch named 'Cho Chang'." 5 minutes later and I'm still laughing at this.
so i just finished reading this book and wanted to see people's opinion on it. abt the asexual thing, its not the sexuality. its asexual reproduction, meaning they produce offsprings without needing a second parent. example, an amoeba parent splitting into two to produce two daughter cells. thats a misunderstanding.
@@hanaomer4419 they just assumed that witches produced offsprings asexually, as there arent any male witches. its not that they arent sexually attracted to other people/witches. the witches in the book have relationships with other witches, which promotes that witches can be lesbian. other than that, during modraniht (lou's sacrifice), reid, beau and ansel sneak into the château as consorts. also proving that witches have sexual attraction to males.
When you have sex, bleeding a whole lot is actually a very bad sign. It means there isn’t a lot of lubrication and that the woman isn’t turned on lol. Even if there is slight tearing, there should not be more blood than you might get from a light period. The experience is natural and shouldn’t cause you LITERAL INJURY.
I read Sylvia Plath’s The Bell Jar in college and it’s semi-autobiographical and she writes about the main character’s first time and he did…nothing for her and she fuckin HEMORRHAGED!!!! I was disgusted and the guy did nothing to help her
i thought that she meant was to show they had period sex? 😭 i mean even then as someone who has periods I'd be surprised if it was really that messy, cuz my flow is way lighter when I'm laying down or in the shower... but I've never done that so idk
@@kai_macerationthe implication was for sure that losing her virginity somehow produced a full pint of blood, but really the most you should have is some light spotting. period sex is fairly messy if you're rough or have a heavier flow, enough to want to double layer a towel over your bedsheets. it usually ends up with blood on your partner and a lot of cleanup afterwards! definitely not something you do on bare, fresh sheets 😭
yeah, plus a lot of women break their hymen before intercourse without noticing because it takes little force to do so, and there's generally not much blood involved. in other words, bleeding all over the bed like she hemorrhaged wouldn't even confirm that they consummated, just that she had a horrible time!
Honestly I'm beginning to think being a new York times bestseller doesn't always mean you're a good and unique writer, sometimes it just means you're capable of catering to the thirsty middle-aged housewife community.
@Jennifer Wang still... Cas and Cindy got a point. There are so many books titled as (NYT) Bestsellers. But a lot of them go into the same niche and are often doubtful in their quality. Don't know... maybe it's just taste 🤷♀️, still if you consider that Sarah J. Maas, E.L.James and the After-Lady sold their books to be Bestsellers it's really sad. There could be so many more fantastic, original books out there, if people would just change the way books are advertised.
When I was a kid I read a book about a tiny kid who was really good at living at a mansion discreetly because her dad was the mechanic and she lived down in the furnace room. That book said New York times bestseller. It wasn't incredible but I had a blast reading it.
I love that he is a witch hunter and is unable to identify a witch that's practically smacking her identity in his face. Nobody in this book is good at their job
you say "i wouldn't have known this character wasn't a baker if they weren't named pan" and i was immediately thrown back to the hunger games flashbacks. why peeta. why.
@@withcindy You'll be happy to know that in Book 2 it is revealed to the protagonists by an immortal god-like creature that Billy and Liddy were actual real people who existed and ended up getting married.
Of course there’s a character named Coco. How else would we know there are black characters in this story if the author doesn’t remind us of their skin tone on every single page?
I was reading Serpent and Dove, and one of the things I realized is that Lou is 18. So when she mentioned Ansel's age, I was like, "Girl, you aren't that much older."
you're the main character of a long ass tv show that was supposed to end 5 seasons ago and sarah j. maas is the reoccurring villain who was defeating several arcs ago but somehow keeps reappearing
Cindy is so cursed that in a few years, when she publishes her book, there’s going to be some sort of mistake and one of the blurbs is gonna end up being written by Sarah J. Mass 🤣
@@withcindy "Cindy Pham's debut novel is truly awe-inspiring and it remains surprisingly entrancing until the end despite the serious lack of faerie dick. The main character seems to be gay however she did not come out through a 6-page monologue so we will never be able to know for sure. The LGBT community deserves better" - Sarah J. Maas
I also want her to read ToG just so I can hear it from her perspective bc I don't know anyone that has also read the books and I just really want to find out what she thinks of it
Why are so many authors obsessed with the idea of “copper hair” I feel like every abusive leading man has to have copper hair is this Edward Cullen’s legacy?
so i just finished reading this book and wanted to see people's opinion on it. abt the asexual thing, its not the sexuality. its asexual reproduction, meaning they produce offsprings without needing a second parent. example, an amoeba parent splitting into two to produce two daughter cells. thats a misunderstanding.
@@adimadeez thanks! I felt kinda uneasy about people taking offense from that word. It's been a scientific term in biology studies for much longer than the implied meaning here, and it's used correctly.

The author really knows nothing about France lol, French doesn't even have proper gender neutral pronouns so the whole scene of him calling witches "it" wouldn't make sense in the language they should be speaking
@@zeera7080 which is the feminine form, as there is also ce, the masculine. So even the word 'it' would be feminized, meaning the author is still wrong.
@@Swordprincess777 "Ça" is not the feminine form of "ce". It's a contraction of "cela", and its counterpart is "ceci". They roughly translate to "that" and "this", respectively. I honestly have trouble with when to use "ce" vs. "ça", since they're similar (I'm learning French), but suffice it to say they're not the feminine and masculine versions of each other.
A song that rhymes in English (but wouldn't in French or another language unless it was similar enough to English structurally)... Sung in medieval France... O.K.
The bleeding after sex is such a bad myth. It is still a modern practice (usually in middle eastern countries from my knowledge) for newly wed couples to 'do it' on a towel for the bride to bleed on to prove they were a virgin before marriage. It is a horrible myth that has gotten many brides in trouble.
yeah women developed all sorts of "tricks" to work around that, like timing it around their periods or injuring themselves and honestly i'd rather forget i ever read about it
Yeah, that’s were the tradition for white wedding dresses came from. Women would hang their bloody dresses out their window for their whole town to see and take pride in. I never imagined the romanticized wedding whites had such a tragic backstory. I pray to God I won’t bleed my first time, that sounds painful.
No, white wedding dresses were popularized by Queen Victoria, who wore it to her own wedding in 1840. Before that, European women wore dresses of many different colors. Also, the white color resembles wealth and high social status, not innocene or virginity, as many people believe.
I have to give props to the person that designed the art in the cover, the plot doesn’t sound like something I would enjoy but the cover is beautiful and it would defined make it stand out
When the intro started with you singing Big Tiddy Liddy, I thought to myself “OMG LOL Cindy’s always coming up with the wildest jokes” .......ma’AM U WERE ACTUALLY JUST QUOTING THE BOOK I-
I mean they could use something to deprersonify like 'ça' or 'ces choses ' idk but yeha in an irl convo it's a lot of convolution just to be a dick i guess. Not even mentioning the whole dude named 'Pain' thing like??? Hi am I calling my child Loaf? what's up?
It sounds like the author created a long character sheet for each character with a bunch of fun facts so she tried to incorporate them into the story but got tired so she created the twenty questions scene
As a random person, who hates reading books, stumbling across the "I read A Court of Wings and Ruin and now I’m an alcoholic" video, then went to "I read A Court of Frost and Starlight and it ruined my Christmas" and now this, I haven't stopped laughing.

“The archbishop says: I know, we’ll marry you two. That way we can say you were beating her because she was a bad wife, because that’s more justified.” This synopsis of the book’s thought process has my eyebrows in the SKY right now.
17:28 "It's like she could smell the problematic love story, and she started salivating." I almost woke everyone in my house with my laughter. God! This line is so funny!
This book was a trip! I don't think it was awful in a "problematic" way, it was just kinda ridiculous and I think it's targetting the Sarah J. Maas crowd honestly. Edit: OOf! You said it.

you made me choke on my pepsi :c
*Vanilla
Better name would be tofu. White and flavorless
Well, there is a tale in which a German girl is named Snow White...
Token white character, May O'naise.
Asexuals keep getting done dirty by these romance books
so i just finished reading this book and wanted to see people's opinion on it. abt the asexual thing, its not the sexuality. its asexual reproduction, meaning they produce offsprings without needing a second parent. example, an amoeba parent splitting into two to produce two daughter cells. thats a misunderstanding.
AdiMadee Z how does Lou have a dad then? Was she the only one?
@@hanaomer4419 they just assumed that witches produced offsprings asexually, as there arent any male witches. its not that they arent sexually attracted to other people/witches. the witches in the book have relationships with other witches, which promotes that witches can be lesbian. other than that, during modraniht (lou's sacrifice), reid, beau and ansel sneak into the château as consorts. also proving that witches have sexual attraction to males.
@@hanaomer4419 I'm pretty sure reid was joking anyway it's not a serious point that he was trying to make
@@hanaomer4419 pretty sure all witches are female, but they didn't mention warlocks so........ 🤔😅
When you have sex, bleeding a whole lot is actually a very bad sign. It means there isn’t a lot of lubrication and that the woman isn’t turned on lol. Even if there is slight tearing, there should not be more blood than you might get from a light period. The experience is natural and shouldn’t cause you LITERAL INJURY.
I read Sylvia Plath’s The Bell Jar in college and it’s semi-autobiographical and she writes about the main character’s first time and he did…nothing for her and she fuckin HEMORRHAGED!!!! I was disgusted and the guy did nothing to help her
i thought that she meant was to show they had period sex? 😭 i mean even then as someone who has periods I'd be surprised if it was really that messy, cuz my flow is way lighter when I'm laying down or in the shower... but I've never done that so idk
@@kai_macerationthe implication was for sure that losing her virginity somehow produced a full pint of blood, but really the most you should have is some light spotting. period sex is fairly messy if you're rough or have a heavier flow, enough to want to double layer a towel over your bedsheets. it usually ends up with blood on your partner and a lot of cleanup afterwards! definitely not something you do on bare, fresh sheets 😭
yeah, plus a lot of women break their hymen before intercourse without noticing because it takes little force to do so, and there's generally not much blood involved. in other words, bleeding all over the bed like she hemorrhaged wouldn't even confirm that they consummated, just that she had a horrible time!
Honestly I'm beginning to think being a new York times bestseller doesn't always mean you're a good and unique writer, sometimes it just means you're capable of catering to the thirsty middle-aged housewife community.
Anybody can be a New York times bestseller TbH, it's literally printed on every book at the store lol
@Jennifer Wang still... Cas and Cindy got a point.
There are so many books titled as (NYT) Bestsellers. But a lot of them go into the same niche and are often doubtful in their quality.
Don't know... maybe it's just taste 🤷♀️, still if you consider that Sarah J. Maas, E.L.James and the After-Lady sold their books to be Bestsellers it's really sad.
There could be so many more fantastic, original books out there, if people would just change the way books are advertised.
@Jennifer Wang yeah. Guess that's true too.
When I was a kid I read a book about a tiny kid who was really good at living at a mansion discreetly because her dad was the mechanic and she lived down in the furnace room. That book said New York times bestseller. It wasn't incredible but I had a blast reading it.
@Mae McCardle You are right! I love that book
"there could've been an asian witch named cho chang" SHE WENT THERE 💀
teehee
Remember boys and girls:
When in danger start singing “Big Tiddy Liddy” you’ll be fine.
It's a fool proof plan
got it, gotta get studying-
The fact that you congratulated your friends on their baby right after you described a graphic sex scene, sent me to the stratosphere.
i truly read the cover as “serpent dave” and i’ll never recover
That's the spin off
Serpent Dave sounds like a super sketchy reptile store in a Florida strip mall.
LMAOOOOO I probably won't notice that if I didn't read your comment
what thats not what its called?
edit. i just checked the vide title, im just blind
"Witches can give birth therefore they're women"
"Witches can only give birth with other witches therefore they're asexual"
I am confusion-
we don't have time to unpack all that
@@withcindy the sex scene was the only thing that carried the whole book 😂😂
Whyyyyy
@@withcindy I read this as john mulaney i-
I’m so confused as to how all infertile women aren’t women anymore...

Cindy, true big brain intellectual: "Witches get stitches."
It's the same thing but with fewer words
I love that he is a witch hunter and is unable to identify a witch that's practically smacking her identity in his face. Nobody in this book is good at their job
you say "i wouldn't have known this character wasn't a baker if they weren't named pan" and i was immediately thrown back to the hunger games flashbacks. why peeta. why.
peeta walked so that pan could run
Wait, he was actually called “Pan”? As a francophone I thought it was just Cindy mispronouncing “Pain”
Lolol
are we just going to let "big willy billy" slide by like that...
i ship billy and liddy
readwithcindy billy x liddy = biddy/ lilly
@@withcindy You'll be happy to know that in Book 2 it is revealed to the protagonists by an immortal god-like creature that Billy and Liddy were actual real people who existed and ended up getting married.
@@kajamiletic3223
Hell yeah
Of course there’s a character named Coco. How else would we know there are black characters in this story if the author doesn’t remind us of their skin tone on every single page?
thank god for the constant reminder!!
Peter Parker omg
Peter Parker It was Dim Sum I think.
I was reading Serpent and Dove, and one of the things I realized is that Lou is 18. So when she mentioned Ansel's age, I was like, "Girl, you aren't that much older."
yeah she weird
you're the main character of a long ass tv show that was supposed to end 5 seasons ago and sarah j. maas is the reoccurring villain who was defeating several arcs ago but somehow keeps reappearing

Like star vs the forces of evil? Or in this version it would be Cindy vs the forces of Fairy dicks or Cindy vs Big titty Liddy
Cindy is so cursed that in a few years, when she publishes her book, there’s going to be some sort of mistake and one of the blurbs is gonna end up being written by Sarah J. Mass 🤣
LMFAO i would love that actually
@@withcindy "Cindy Pham's debut novel is truly awe-inspiring and it remains surprisingly entrancing until the end despite the serious lack of faerie dick. The main character seems to be gay however she did not come out through a 6-page monologue so we will never be able to know for sure. The LGBT community deserves better" - Sarah J. Maas
Susana Vieira
*SNORT 🤣😂
Sarah J. Mass is one of my favourite authors of all times.You mustn't have read Throne of Glass.The series which lead me to love books.💘
Serena sinha Cindy literally did an entire series on her books
if i never hear or read “big tiddy liddy” ever again it will be too soon
its always too soon......
readwithcindy Wait. That wasn’t actually in the book???
@SecretConceit No it was in the book. Repeatedly, actually and no, it doesn’t get funnier or less cringy.
“Is the an Asian witch named Dim Sun” finally got my phone to drop while laughing. Oh Cindy…. You are sooo brutal

@DyingForCookies good they suck
Why are so many authors obsessed with the idea of “copper hair” I feel like every abusive leading man has to have copper hair is this Edward Cullen’s legacy?
LMAOOOOO Edward I love you but I blame YOU for this
Smh, they have to be Edward’s legacy😭
It's strange since everyone hates gingers

@@adimadeez thanks! I felt kinda uneasy about people taking offense from that word. It's been a scientific term in biology studies for much longer than the implied meaning here, and it's used correctly.

Yes please

Does that name mean anything or allude to anything? I don't get the joke.

As an asian person, I’d want to be called Dimsum so that the reader can never ever forget my asian heritage

Andrei Zafra I wanna cry 😭. Next time I write a book with characters like me, I'll name them Pho or Banh mi so my characters know they're vietnamese 😭😭
Andrei Zafra are you alright
The author really knows nothing about France lol, French doesn't even have proper gender neutral pronouns so the whole scene of him calling witches "it" wouldn't make sense in the language they should be speaking
Arianna CG and also calling the head witch of the white witches "Morgane LeBlanc" and Not "LaBlanche" is Kinda weird
@@livenitup_de lol i hadn't notice it, how can a person get so many things wrong
Ça
@@zeera7080 which is the feminine form, as there is also ce, the masculine. So even the word 'it' would be feminized, meaning the author is still wrong.
@@Swordprincess777 "Ça" is not the feminine form of "ce". It's a contraction of "cela", and its counterpart is "ceci". They roughly translate to "that" and "this", respectively. I honestly have trouble with when to use "ce" vs. "ça", since they're similar (I'm learning French), but suffice it to say they're not the feminine and masculine versions of each other.

Me, an asexual witch: _Oh no_
Me, a pansexual: What’re they up to now?
The bleeding after sex is such a bad myth. It is still a modern practice (usually in middle eastern countries from my knowledge) for newly wed couples to 'do it' on a towel for the bride to bleed on to prove they were a virgin before marriage. It is a horrible myth that has gotten many brides in trouble.
yeah women developed all sorts of "tricks" to work around that, like timing it around their periods or injuring themselves and honestly i'd rather forget i ever read about it
Yeah, that’s were the tradition for white wedding dresses came from. Women would hang their bloody dresses out their window for their whole town to see and take pride in. I never imagined the romanticized wedding whites had such a tragic backstory. I pray to God I won’t bleed my first time, that sounds painful.
No, white wedding dresses were popularized by Queen Victoria, who wore it to her own wedding in 1840. Before that, European women wore dresses of many different colors. Also, the white color resembles wealth and high social status, not innocene or virginity, as many people believe.
It used to happen in my country, mainly in villages but we're thankfully over it now..
