girl acomaf is even better- the plot, the new characters, the character development…it’s *chefs kiss*

[@elinavanderheijden5998]

YOU HAVE TO READ THE SECOND BOOK! YOU CANNOT JUDGE THE SERIES IF YOU DONT AT LEAST READ THE SECOND ONE BC OMGGG ITS SO GOODDD!!😩😩😩😩

[@johannaott2129]

You are so right😭👏💖

[@idaaaa2238]

True!😩

[@kookoo9800]

The first one was such a struggle to get through for me that i can’t force myself to continue the series even tho i rlly wish i could join the hype on it :/

[@scarlethunter9361]

I’m on the second one and it’s so long 😢

[@rachelmilligan95]

@@kookoo9800 did you ever retry? I found that I struggled for a few chapters lol and tried again like 6 months later and now I kick myself every time for not reading it😂

[@jaymontoya6769]

It's so interesting watching this video now cause now she has like a shrine to ACOTAR on her bookshelf in her new videos, i just read the first one and am obsessed already and i cant wait to start the next one, i know i am personally behind on the band wagon reading this book series bit i just started reading again at like the end of last year

[@hannahfirminger5026]

We all know who we are reading it for and it ain’t tamlin. The fact that the acotar series is the only fantasy series I’ve ever read and now I’ve got so much merch for it and all of Sarah J Maas’s books safe to say I am obsessed!!!

[@mayyys.7092]

BEST FOUND FAMILY TO EXIST IN FANTASY ‼️I LOVE THE INNER CIRCLE

[@karsoncasey7630]

LITERALLY

[@jessicamedrano9673]

I literally screamed & applauded when you said you loved it 🤣🤣 it’s SO GOOD!!! I’m almost done with the second book & girlllll get ready!❤️

[@gabs392]

I JUST finished the second book. I have no words, this series is so amazing. I actually am late to work today because I didn’t realize what time it was because I was so sucked in to finish the book.

[@arabellafairyy]

It has spice smut??

[@gabs392]

@@arabellafairyy It does have some

[@kaylaalopez]

Yessss queen I can’t wait to see your reactions to the rest of them! A court of mist and fury is genuinely my fav book of ALL time🫶

[@Ylimeable777]

I am literally so so upset that we didn't get a live react of the last 100 or so pages. Also: so glad you loved this. I picked up my copy of ACOTAR and flipped to the page that you were talking about earlier in the video and TOTALLY forgot about it. I will be here for your reactions of the rest of the series. I have already completed the series and I can totally understand all of the comments saying that if you don't like the first book to keep on going, because it DOES get better :)

[@emilyforgett2570]

This is giving me so much serotonin omggggg. I can’t wait for you to read ACOMAF and hear your thoughts. We definitely need a reading vlog for that.

[@itsnoterica]

I can’t wait for you to read the 2nd book 😭 pls vlog it bc the world needs that video also im loving the long hair!!

[@aasia5989]

omg this book has been on my tbr for so long bc i could not commit to learning a whole new world but u just convinced me to read it and come back so i can fully appreciate this vid😭

[@someuser2851]

OMG YAY I REALLY WANTED TO SEE THIS DESTINY U NEVER FAIL US

[@evehubbard1217]

I’ve read all the books so far.(there are going to be 2 more) And I actually really like Nesta now, but I still have mixed feelings on Elain. Can’t wait to hear your thoughts on the next books! Also could you do a spoiler section at the end of the videos for the next books? So us ACOTAR veterans can fangirl with you☺️😘

[@ashleynicole1396]

I promise you the second book is PERFECTION! U have to read it! It’s so so so good!

[@chloecook7949]

des posting is always the highlight of my day 🥹

[@hibbakay8815]

Destiny posted & ITS ACOTAR!? my day just got a million times better

[@ariannawestley]

The characters introduced in A Court of Mist and Fury are the best!! It's also the best book in the series!

[@CarterSullivan]

You can get the last one in paperback from Book Depository in the UK and it's free shipping!!

[@nadiaburkett4490]

Always love when you post doesn’t matter what it is

[@Lizzy_Garfield]

Okay literally I trust you and all your book recs, I’ve never dabbled into fantasy I’m def more of a romance girly. Idk why this book low key intimidated me but like now I really wanna read it and see what all the hype is abt!!

[@rosievue6744]

ACOTAR is literally just setting up for the rest of the series!!!! I cannot wait to see you review the rest of the books 😭😭😭💗💗💗

[@janeewaxler4433]

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE make reading vlogs for the other books. Seeing your reactions to you reading this series for the first time is so entertaining coming from someone who has read the whole series 4 times now and is obsessed with it. Also if you didn’t know it is becoming a series that will air on hulu. They don’t have a release date yet but Sarah J Maas and the director of the Outlander tv series are bringing this book series to life through a tv show and I am so freaking excited!!!!

[@madimarcus1815]

I love this series and it truly does get better and better. Please do reading vlogs for the other books and maybe include you buying them. And a spoiler section would be cool at the end where we get all your thoughts!!!

[@hediicampuzano9220]

I just love when you upload you always make are day tysm ❤️🥺

[@pamefsss]

not me rewatching and laughing at how much you love it now

[@laurynklemm4818]

okay you convinced me to read a acotar!!! i’m not usually into fantasy but now i’m excited to start this series!

[@kariahkincaid1141]

I thought the same thing...I didn't thing the books could get better but they really do. ACOMAF is truly one of the best fantasy book's I've ever read. The setting, romance, characters are just so amazing. Can't wait to see your reaction of them.

[@giannarenaud6081]

First omg I can’t wait to see your reactions to the book one of my favs✨😆

[@Intro_Liz]

The series definitely gets better

[@agirlnamejustin1651]

I read this for the first time at 21 and I hated it. BUT!!!!!! The rest of the series is MY FAVORITE series ever and I’ve read close to 350 books. PLEASE READ THE REST ESPECIALLY THE SECOND BOOK😭✨. It’s worth it 😏😏

[@hannahheartspaperbacks]

I thought this day would never come. I want to cry tears of joy! Also, the paperback of A Court of Silver Flames is available in the UK already, so I got mine from Waterstones. It’s like 15£ for shipping but was so worth it since I also got the alternate covers of Emily Henry’s books as well!

[@marianamonteiro9920]

I got mine for £5 at Tesco mate 😂😭

[@megandcalebvlogs]

OH MY GOSH YAYYYYYYYYYYY!!! I’m SO SO SO GLAD YOU LOVED IT! I was so nervous the first half of the video. I get like it was baby but it’s SJM’s lol girl we alllll felt the way you did about Tamlin… Rhys all the way😍😍😍

[@kassandrarea6311]

Ahhh ! I loveee that you loved it ! I had literally the exact same emotions you did throughout reading the book ! 😭 I am on the third book of the series ! They say the series THRONE OF GLASS… is like wayyy better than ACOTAR.. and that’s def gonna be my next series read to find out 😗

[@miiabackstrom8971]

I reallyyy liked throne of glass!! although the first two books aren't the best ever, but still good!! just wait until the third though hahaha

[@clockworkgold8915]

Throne of glass is so much better than ACOTAR I can confirm!! The character development and romances are simply top tier and the plot is so rich and FILLED with twists!! ACOTAR is still amazing but TOG is my favourite SJM series :))

[@sophietankard7936]

Throne of glass is a better series overall however cassian has my heart. A court of silver flames is one of my favourite books of all time 😍

[@carmenvandelden9749]

So much fun to see how u started reading acotar considering ur absolutely obsessed with it now😆😆

[@billiehoward4613]

So glad you talked about the book. I have been debating on whether I should read it or not.

[@Itsezyyyy__]

So so excited to see this knowing how big a fan you are and I have one more chapter of ACOMAF left 😆

[@abbimcguffie4818]

I’m 120 pages off finishing the 3rd book, ITS SO GOOD PLEASE READ THE REST 🥰

[@gabriellavargas953]

I read ACOTAR a couple of weeks ago and now Im no the second book, and all i can say is that the series does only get better! Also, that one character that is introduced literally had me the same way and I switched sides so fast!

[@emmaskapetis7603]

I love watching this like 2 years later and knowing that you're about to be become obsessed with this series and with fantasy.

[@kylie4146]

i’m still reading the first book but i’m already hooked have the rest of the books saved for later!

[@Reading_withannie]

Its so funny watching this now knowing how much you love this series

[@kelpeyyy]

I don’t think any series will ever top this one for me. I seriously just think about re reading it all the time 😭

[@kierstenwilliamson5401]

I have been waiting for this one❤️❤️❤️

[@riverdarden8346]

READ THE SECOND BOOK!!! IT IS THE BEST ONE!

[@lakotafuqua2675]

ok but it literally took me months to get past the first page of acotar🥴 i’ve been in a slump after literally every book, but i do love them🤣 i started them last august and i’m over 50% done with acosf now. so close to the finish line😭

[@AidaPersianprincess]

GIRLLL YESSS I LOVE LUCIEN TOO!!! I was waiting for someone to agree with me! Thank you!

[@kahafshafique]

Hey I also started reading the acotar series and felt the same way for the first book!!! Would love to see a detailed video of you talking about the first book❤

[@shaniavick7242]

the whole series is amazing the best thing i did was listen to the audio book while reading they are all on youtube for free!! it takes the book to a whole new level and makes it easier to imagine the different scenarios happening. not to be dramatic but the second book changed my life lolll

[@nzs-rr6fb]

about your question if the other books are retellings - one of the other books in the series is a loose hades and persephone retelling! it’s VERY subtle though haha

[@booksanddrafts]

OMG I can’t wait for u to read the second book!!! And u have to film it too! But have a spoiler section💗

[@haileyfussell]

Girl how’d you know I was about to start this series

[@cestmoi914]

I feel like you would really like the infernal devices series by Cassandra Clare there’s a big romance aspect and I feel like it’s an easy entry into fantasy

[@saltairtherustonyourdoor9944]

Help your “no clue just vibes” was me reading the night circus 💀

[@TheMelmel18]

The small text had be put this book off for a whole 7 months😂 just read it and I’m obsessedddd

[@karsoncasey7630]

FINALLY! you just have to keep going!

[@fallenashes]

Destiny: "Aw man, this text is small. And its over 400pgs 😩" Me: Welcome to the fantasy club 😊

[@allyemiller5629]

there are so many things i want to say but i can’t say until u read the second one!! please read acomaf it was my fav of the whole series!!

[@readwithdrb]

I bought this recently and so excited to get to it!

[@autumnrose_noseinabook]

I've been reading Sarah J Maas since 2016 and I'm obsessed. I'm glad you liked ACOTAR but ACOMAF is EVERYTHINGGGG!!!!!! Don't wait too long to read it because you don't want to forget things that happen in book 1 when you're reading book 2. ACOMAF is seriously one of my favorite books of all time, definitely my favorite fantasy book of all time. Also a new favorite series is The Bridge Kingdom which you might like. The books are only like 300 pages and they are such fast reads and so addicting. They are on KU and as I was reading the first book on my kindle I went and ordered all the hardcovers because I immediately was obsessed.

[@glamlicousmariahn]

You need to read the next one acomaf. Im obssessed and if you werent already buckle in! 🤪😍📚 also love watching your videos 💯💞

[@Imisssummer55]

EARLY LOVE YOU💗💗

[@hannahhall10]

I didn’t know how to say her name right until the second book🤦‍♀️😭

[@skyjan163]

the paperback for the last book is on book depository but it’s the UK version so i think it might be a different size from the ones you already have

[@pinkx_anime]

Girl I am definitely gonna get into the book. Because I’m like you, I do not get into the the fairies and stuff cause I just don’t understand 😆 but thank you for your detailed review, omg.

[@elenatoledo12]

This book is SO GOOD!!!

[@starduststyles6991]

please vlog the rest of the series!!!

I’m not really a fantasy girl but this really made me want to read acotar!!

You should do a video swapping your phone screen time with reading!!

[@selmaalj5259]

I’m currently reading throne of glass series by SJM and I cant wait to start this series!!

[@tejaswinisureshkrishnan4228]

I got this book last week and I'm a little scared to start it😂. This hopefully motivates me

[@marieme2886]

Started the book like 4 times and every time I dnft it. Today I started it again because of you already now I am at page 100

[@claramcguinness5785]

your gonna LOVE acomaf

[@user-jv1do5vq4o]

yes this did in fact convince me to start this series

[@abbysurley6455]

Girrrrlllll a court of mist and fury is it!!!! Go get it soon!!!

[@marybarton9792]

I've been wanting to read that series but hesitating. I will be getting it now.

[@anitababcock8238]

Omg FINALLY?!! Just wait! JUST WAIT! ACOMAF is amazing

[@Themckennarose]

I just finished the first book and I genuinely liked it. I’m excited to read the rest. I’m so late to the game.

[@beautybyashleyTV]

loved this Angel🤍

[@leonorfilipe]

Not Destiny being my Rachel Catherine and making me want to read ACOTAR!!

[@ariel7942]

a good way to go into fantasy books is to pretend that you know what is happening lol and then it all gets explained eventually you just have to have patience and an open mind going in that genre

[@TomerArmarnik]

I hope you kept reading the series and enjoyed it

[@bethxx100]

The paperback is currently only out in the UK x

[@Ella-zy6vh]

I literally couldn’t figure out how to pronounce Feyre’s name in the first book either. 😂

[@fa3ryg1rl1]

Booooookkkkk twwooooo and onwards. So good ❤️

[@fashingrl]

I have never read fantasy but I feel like I need to understand the hype. I got the series in a boxed set a couple of months ago from Target for I think 40.00

[@Puty0urlipstick0n]

You trying to figure out fantasy was so funny and reminded of me

[@tigerfoxlogan4615]

Love watching your videos ☺️☺️☺️

[@shannonstar4480]

I am not into fantasy that much. I have more of a similar taste for what you read mostly but GIRL ACOTAR is my favorite series I’ve ever read and ACOSF is one of my all time favorite books ever.

[@alyssapinto7760]

You can get the papoerback from Amazon Canada

[@vanesamacielandrade9172]

It’s the first fantasy I’ve ever read and omg😩

[@hannahhabigaill]

i’m so excited to see you become a fantasy girly 😭😭😭 i was also scared to get into the genre cause i didn’t think i’d understand it at all, but Zodiac Academy was super easy to understand & i really reccomend u checking it out 🤍🤍

[@gianaynigo]

GIRL WAIT TILL YOU READ THE SECOND BOOK

[@keeley8688]

i have been WAITING for this one!!! it gets sooo good in the second book - mist and fury 🥹

[@jessbaldwin]

I really wanna read these. xx

[@chloegrace2688]

I love you and your vids❤️

[@jennycox3595]

Fantasy romance may be your genre after this series…. 😍 ACOTAR is good, but A Court of Mist and Fury is where it’s at!

[@lilliethomas3490]

I get that with fantasy, I love reading and I read so many books, I also love watching fantasy on tv, but in a book I find it so hard to picture and imagine and I spend more time stressing out about the fact that I can’t picture it clearly rather than enjoying it. Half the time they describe things and I then watch it on a movie and I have completely misunderstood what they were trying to say/describe.

[@krystleotoole4599]

I'm a romance reader, would you recommend this book to me ?
