These stories would’ve worked better as second chance, romances or friends still lovers romances between Maxim & Caroline.

love a book review that makes me break out my dictionary, ancillary wasn't in my vocabulary 😅

"Rebecca Yarros seems like a cool person" As someone who has interacted with her, and has friends that interacted with her, I'm sorry to tell you that she is not

I didn't know there os a tarzan book i shall get one now

can't wait for the 8 hour ONYX STORM review

So many colors!😮 Also, you should've gotten the audiobook.😊😂

Hm. A 3 and a half hour long video about an author I've never read, never will read, and don't actually care about? Welp I guess there goes my afternoon.

Okay so I watch Crow's overview for the next book, and everyone is for a show. That for sure

Emo glitters himself to death 😂😂

Why did Carlisle not treat any of the wreck victims at the hospital? Wouldn’t they have been there and he feel responsible?

I am absolutely getting Luminarious once it comes out. I love getting my questions answered. I love knowing everything. It sounds like EXACTLY my jam.

1:26:00 thank you! It was the only place in the book I had trouble with. I was suddenly googling why there was for a form inventory of Bella’s likes and dislikes inserted in this chapter. I was also personally affronted that after this slog, there is a patently false and insipid statement that The Princess Bride book was better than the movie. 😂😂 Glad I audiobooked this one, thanks for the laughs. I was cackling on my way to work

honestly the whole Jack is alive thing could've actually worked if the author had actually tried. Like if she had set up that Jake is fully immersed in the propaganda juice and wanted to further their mission we could have that be the reason why they went out of their way to borderline revive him. Also we could have it that Jack actually was dead BUT the military is doing a soft launch of necromancy. And they're soft launching it because even in this fucked up society in this fucked up military necromancy is one of those things that are very taboo. But the military really wants them to be able to revive their dead soilders because like stated earlier they're losing too many civilians. Its a lot easier to have a solder out for the count for a few months and then be able to return to service than it is to get some civilian and make them into a solider just for them to die in a year. And this could actually show just how shady this place is, the horror of death not being enough to leave it, and how home might not be an option. Because the military doesn't want it to get out that they're doing necromancy but also they're going to use it. Edit: the whole Baisgaith doesn’t teach runes magic ALSO could’ve worked too if Yarros tried. Just have it that it’s a high security job so they wanna make sure that their rune makers won’t betray them and show the enemy the schematics on how it works. Make it that rune makers are like the warrant officer equivalent in that world. Runes are able to hide whole countries if you do it correctly it’s not hard to believe that it’s a high security position but Yarros made the first draft half awake and never did a second draft.

i wanted to say "Theresa chance that this book is okay" but well, not really

He is a vampire after all, a slave to Dracula. And if you ever felt for him or was kind of vibing with him then YOU were coming under draculas curse.

Does anyone know what that “explosion on a chain” from the first book cover is? I’ve watched this series multiple times and I still can’t figure out what that thing is supposed to be!

Mercy turns into a coyote not wolf

Really liked the first book and the movie, though I read this book a year or so ago on my Kobo through the Library app Overdrive (glad I did that) & was hugely disappointed. Really wanted to kick Wade Watts butt and tell the nerdy putz to get outside and go for a walk. Also Ernest Cline's other book "Armada" sucked.

Justice for Noah

PROTECT TAHT DOG AT ALL COSTS!!!!!!! THAT PUPPER IS THE CUTEST THING IVE EVEEEEEER SEEEEEEN

So, I crunched the numbers on the falling ice for the hell of it 7.5 miles per second is 27000 mph Terminal velocity (I'm assuming that's what Norman meant) is 120 mph I'm pretty sure that would likely ignite the atmosphere from kinect energy alone

RSC is funny to me. Because before I read this book, I read "Before They Are Hanged", by Joe Abercrombie. And I can't stop thinking how laughable to the character of Glokta the idea of training someone to resist sharing information through torture must be.

Krimson, I ought to warn you that Lily Orchard is just as depraved, if not more so, than Onision.

Ngl what did you expect from a book that is founded on killing your own allied forces every little thing 💀

I know I'm really late to the party, but the seemingly odd naming conventions might be a case of "The Tiffany Problem".

I just realized that yarros completely copied Edwards and Bella's "signets"

Last thing I expected was Krimson showing his fucking epic chest tattoo that he designed himself

As a kid I was a voracious reader I just took my mom's books when I ran out of books. Started being helpful to her because if I had read the book I could tell her if she read it. And even after all these years my goodreads tbr is still 1000s of books long 😢

My book club and i constantly say "Yarros is pulling from her random jar of names again" when someone dies and we're supposed to care. All of us are like "who the fuck was that supposed to be?"

Something about the scene from Gone: there's a precedent for Sam's actions. A year before the events of the book, Sam was on the school bus and the driver had a heart attack. Sam got the guy out of the seat, pulled the bus over, and called 911 on the driver's phone. Sam has a history of doing dangerous heroic things like running into a burning building. He's known for this. The other kids call him "School Bus Sam". James... likely doesn't have this kind of history.

3:43:00 I'm choosing to believe the college is "run so badly" because it's a scathing critique of the systemic issues in the education system😌

56:42 My guess is Norman heard about the commercial in a priest's homily and liked the homily so much he added part of it into the book. Either that or he wanted to show how smart he is.

Mhhhh!! The moment KR picks up one of your favourite books to prove a point about some semi-literate garbage excuse of a book... You are standing in the kitchen, making dinner with your headphones on. You hear him say "Prince of Thorns", and you loudly exclaim: "Oi!" in such an utterly displeased tone of voice that your innocent roommate (going about their own, unrelated business) turns around and looks at you with that scared-deer-in-the-headlights look. xD (PoT, in my opinion, is hilarious. It made me laugh so much. That snarky little protagonist has a refreshing sense of humour. And given the dystopian setting, why shouldn't he tell his band of brutish misfits to rape and pillage? That's just what they do. He's a kid who makes crude jokes. Of course, I want him to be immature and blunt. - You can't expect him to have the "refined" sense of humour of a Sand dan Glokta. Give him thirty years or so and he might just end up there.)

I’ve been tempted to read the books, but I simply cannot abide the name Xaden 🤢

The fact that Twilight is actually a better book is depressing. Not by much either but still...

Honestly i think your dragons in the books are dogs but movie ones are cats comment is bizarre Because movie dragons are based on cats, dogs horses and Salamanders However toothless in the books acts like a cat: lazy, likes fish But he also likes hunting rabbits and attacking animals The villain of the second half of the books (that i suspect you didn't read because you didn't even mention Alvin the treacherous) Furious says: dragons are either being treated like dogs or ridden like horses.

I'm from a country with conscription. I run a few km almost daily since high school but I had asthmatic symptoms growing up. When I reported for conscription, they sat me down and told me to go home because the asthma made me not worth investing the resources into. Now imagine showing up with the thing Violet has.

Uber joints are a great alternative to anything. Soda, family, remembering things

This video is probably longer than asters entire writing process

she makes it day non stop... congratulations theresa, now the horses and sheep aren't going to breed. (horses and sheep, among some other livestock that i can't remember bc i only needed to memorize one of each for class, have their breeding season based on photoperiod, aka day length.)

Incels are based

Oh no the corset conversation :(

64 squares needs an editor, but it will most definitely be reduced to 20 pages long.

the worldbuilding is still awful. the military thing is awful. don't make a school where recruits are free to kill eachother

The bit where it goes like “I, Titus Uno, Certified Public Accountant…” reminds me of how Papyrus always refers to himself, but without any of the endearing/comedic aspects thereof.
