Plus, it totally rips off The Black Jewel series by Anne Bishop.

I AM WITH YOU. Her books are trash ... I TRIED I really did, but I didn't like any of her primary characters. Her storylines were barely there, or they were prefab (redone) and/or cringe AF. There is NO character development; the relationships are TOXIC, and she has hardly any real world building. I almost want to say it was like horrible fan fiction but I think I've read more fanfiction that was better than her books than her books could ever be.

"Omg I love when people hate this book", why do you care? LOL I see all of the haters and I'm like ya'll are out here just hating a book series that you did not have to continue reading. The only hate and slander I will accept is for people Romanticizing Colleen Hoover or Haunting Adelaide.

I know I’m so late, but the unhaul is brutal!

I LOVED this book! I read it literally the day it came out haha! I’m currently reading the heroes of Olympus series! Also can’t wait for September 24th when book 7 comes out!!

I just finished reading it (I know I'm so late on the whole acotar hype, but I refused to read it for years, after people described it as spicy fantasy 😂 🤢...because girl is a traditional fantasy lover lol)....I actually got over the "spicy" parts and stopped cringing after a while, but I had to come onto the Internet and see if I'm the only one who's bothered with how Tamlin and Rhysand are being portrayed. I'm a military wife and the whole PTSD thing hits home quite a bit, and I feel the author has totally ignored Tam's suffering and his sacrifices. I understand the idea of two broken people not being able to fix each other, but I felt like the book really did him dirty. The way Tam handled the whole PTSD thing was obviously catastrophic, but once again, anyone who knows someone who struggled with these demons in real life will know that communication for those who suffer is not that easy. I actually don't have a huge issue with Rhy. Just another character that is trauma riddled. I just don't like how Tam is being portrayed, just in order to make Rhy look better or to make excuses for his odd behaviour....

Your quick synopsis of this is incredible! Love love ❤

damn, I've been tempted by All for the Game for SO LONG but yikes 😂haha I loved Nick in Extraordinaries, but I definitely get him driving you crazy.

You killed him! You monster!

Ack my face

Thank god I saw this. Don’t want to waste my money

I think it's wild how the fandom and the author treat Rhys and Tam as if Feyre and Tamlin couldn't have worked if they'd just communicated?

I didn't love Dracula either, but apparently I didn't get it. 🙄 I prefer adaptations like Stanley Kubrick's film and Dracula 2000.

I have never agreed with someone so much

My thoughts exactly. What do you mean the girl just killed your mate and you’re like ‘k you can just move in with me’ ??? The whole plot seemed so unnatural

I know nothing about the trilogy nor have I read the books but I think it’s kinda interesting that maybe the only way the trisolarians were remembered is by the retelling of the civilization they planned to destroy

YOU SKIPPED REBECCA?!?! I READ THAT ALL IN ONE SITTING!!!

Awww good ole Whitman. My mom grew up a town or two from Walden pond where he lived and wrote

In high school we referred to Nathaniel Hawthorne as the comma chameleon because HE WOULD NEVER END A BLOODY SENTENCE! He could go a whole page and not end a sentence

Loooooook at you graduating!!

I’m here. I’m buckled up. I’m ready.

Such an interesting dissertation topic!! I didn't think there would be enough examples of cat🤝capitalism but you certainly proved it

Lol i purposely avoided an english degree because i knew it would mean A LOT of classic reading and paper writing

CONGRATS SAM!! Wow it's so wild that i knew you before you started Uni and now you're already done :O

Tossing books, literally throwing them, causing damage. Why would anybody want them in that condition? I don't treat my books that way, not even the ones that I decide to get rid of.

Enjoyed the review! My Girlfriend recommended me the book and I enjoy a good fantasy romance type book from time to time so I figured I would read it and its a good thing I listened to a audio version of it because I probably wouldnt have finished it otherwise lol I thought the writing was just poor and the majority of things just didnt make sense.

congratulations on graduating, really enjoyed seeing all the books you read. i read a couple some good, some bad do wish i had done english lit but I didn't read when i was choosing so anyways...

I tried. Read the first one. Trash

MC name is Feyre? Hard no. What’s up with the ridiculous names????

As if I would leave before the end, Sam.

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ love you and our buddy reads!

Uuuuuugh caraval. I hated that book so much. Why were there like 100 pages dedicated to a sentient dress?

Oh I get the sentimentality of book souvenirs. I have a book I purchased when I was 15 at Auschwitz of all places that will probably never get unhauled

Professor Sam with a pointer!

really enjoyed this, you did a great unhau with 80!! i love that david bust and your little nick-nacks. i've been meaning to unhaul if this gets out too but it was the first book i ordered (i think) and feel bad getting rid of queer books. DNFing on earth we're briefly gorgeous because of the writing!!! i literally gasped audibly... i mean you do you but wow. i will check out things we lost to the water as i want more of these stories as i LOVED the other, joint fave of the year for me.i bought mister magic on your haul/rec of it, hopefully i enjoy

Late to this party but seething with jealousy for this trip. Thank you for filming so I can live vicariously through you haha

❤❤❤

You believe that's try reading buttons and lace

Im sorta relieved Im not the only one. I want to preface that it is amazing that authors of every literary background can publish and make a living off it and even more fantastic they have the fanbase for it. But this book isnt a literary work of art as many others and advertisements make it out to be. Not say every book we read had to be this genuis work, but the hype for this book and under fantasy genre, people were giving me the impression this was up there with Tolkien and Martin. I really tried to like it but when I realized it wasnt going to get better I felt scammed hahaha. But in all good intention I'm glad its pulling people to read!

Thank you for your video, good to see I`m not the only one. I just don`t get the hype with this book, I`ve never read a SJM book before. Picked it up after hearing about it so much on social media, and it was meant to be soooo good. Upon starting reading it, i felt the writing is bad. Straight away i felt Cinderella vibes with the presentation of MC. As MC commits a crime she get sent of to "get the punishment", the "Beauty and the Beast" vibes came in strong. I even thought at some point; "when is he gonna introduce her to the library?" and lo and behold, just a few pages later that happens. Nothing is original in this book, it`s done before. There is also so many "why`s". A never ending list of why. Like the why`s of Twilight; why does a 100 year old vampire falls in love with a teenager, why would a 500 year old fay fall in love with a teenage girl? All characters are so boring and colorless, most of all the MC. She honestly has nothing special to her. She uses a weapon that basically is fay kryptonite and nothing else. Throughout the book it`s difficult to see if MC has anything to her at all. I honestly struggle to see why the characters are attracted to one another. There is no attraction. So when MC goes to save "the man she loves", I just keep wondering when that happened and what pages I obviously didn`t read. I often find that SJM avoids going into detail, like when she write about MC blackout when she drinks. And that this continues at the very end of the book. In my opinion, this is very lazy writing and you are suppose to just accept that "things happened, okay?". Well, this is hours of my life I won`t get back.
