total disclaimer re: thumbnail – the book isn’t a waste of time, what WAS a waste of time was me forcing myself to stay up and read until 2am thinking this was a …
Basically a summary: Our main character Brie (aka America Singer meets Feyre Archeron) goes to a faerie land to free her sister, who was sold into slavery, where she falls in love with not one but TWO faerie princes – 1) BaSh (aka Tamlin) and 2) Flin (aka feminist Rhysand who is supposed to be this bad guy but turns out to be the good one. Oh but he is also a creep who visits his dead snacks in the catacombs sometimes, aaaand he has silver eyes). In order to steal some objects from the castle and get back her sister, she has to compete for Tamlin's(Maxon's?) hand with 12 other girls (aka The Selection) where she is oBvIoUslY the first choice. She gets the objects because no one cares if there is a thief in the castle and frees her sister from the Unseelie Court (which she apparently can rule herself lmao because that's how we create some content for the sequel). She then bonds with Bash (aka the Parabatai) even though she was warned not to do that.
End of story (or perhaps I should say storiES because it just feels like the author read a bunch of popular YA novels, took bits and peaces out of them and glued them together to create a 234 page long fanfic).
Watching you talk about this book just made me feel exhausted just hearing about this character like honestly if I read it I would have probably stopped reading it halfway through. I congratulate you on finishing it.
do I want to read this book: sadly yes do I hate spoilers: very much so am I gonna leave my girl cari on the read when she starts discussing spoilers??? SADLY no bc rant-cari possesses a whole nother level of chaotic energy that is truly unmatched
I was disappointed in this one since it had tropes I usually like but the execution of them was not good. All the Sebastian twists were fairly obvious but I was surprised that the author wrote both love interests as terrible people.
with Libby, all my holds come in at the same time too!! that's why i'm glad they have the "schedule for later delivery" function, i'm always using that to push my holds back for a week ☺️
idk why they call sebastian’s bash but in reign (tv show) they call a sebastian that too. Also i watched the whole video and i feel like i just read the book, maybe i’ll give it a chance to have a nice laugh
i enjoyed watching and listening to your reviews and rants about books! haha theyre hella fun! and i also love your book recommendations, thanks to you i discovered shea earnshaw 🥺 alsooo i hope u can read Six Crimson Cranes by Elizabeth Lim and the Warcross duo by Marie Lu. i'd love to hear what you think about it ! <333
Just completed it and like 😆😂 like I was soo angry at her for not getting that Sebastian was using her . I also found it very stupid that she didn't guess about Finn I mean like he was just helping without really asking anything in return , he never asked for her help , and when she offered he refused , and He told her that she shouldn't bond with bash but like it never got into her that he never said anything about himself 😆😂 like why would SOMEONE randomly train u and save your life for NOTHING !!!!!!!😆😂😂
I'm working on a fairy element urban fantasy storyline with dashes of Enemies to Friends (lovers can come later we'll see how they develop). Its gonna probably suck but I really want to write it 😫. I'm hoping to successfully subvert the tropes found in stories and have fun while doing it.
Anyway, I love this video! Your way of telling the story is so good in delivering the twists and general vibe of the characters. You just earned a new subscriber!
I actually do know a Sebastian nicknamed "Bash" and another one that goes by Seb, and still another one that goes by Sebby, so it does exist but its not very common as a nickname.
In the moment this video was out I start looking out for a way to read this book, so I can watch this with full knowledge of the story. This is how committed I'm rigth now. I've started it today and I will be back ahaha
