5 Reasons DAINDRETH'S ASSASSIN may not be for you

This Fantasy Romance series may not be for you and that's okay!
Here are 5 reasons that DAINDRETH'S ASSASSIN may not be a good fit, but if you do happen to like morally grey heroines, golden retriever heroes, slowburn spice, political intrigue, and complicated villains, this might just be the Fantasy Romance/Romantasy book you're looking for!

Now I'm even more convinced that this series may be for me. It certainly sounds fun! And, I love Faramir, so...😁

[@patrick-west]

Definitely sounds like "5 reasons you might like daindreth's assassin" to be

[@meltheatremartinez]

I love how you say why your books might not be for everyone because if someone saw a book that looked interesting to them, they might pick it up and read it and then once they start reading it, they’re like “Oh, it has politics.” Or “Oh, it has inappropriate content.” and then they might lose interest. I also like how you said that Daindreth’s Assassin and the other books in your series had sexual things in it because one time I read a book and it had sexual things in it and I was like, “oh…I do not feel comfortable reading that out loud!” (I prefer reading out loud) and I just ignored and didn’t read it out loud. My mum bought me Daindreth’s Assassin. I’m only on Chapter 2 but now I know that it has heavy kissing in it so when I get to that part in the book I can just skip it. So this video was very helpful for me. Thank you (:

[@frostbittenskater995]

Lemme know what chapters/pages, cause i wanna read this series, but would also prefer to skip those scenes. I read a song of ice and fire, and that was enough for me! Lol

[@AdeptiHotline]

Thank you for being real about this. A lot of times when someone does a video about "why my book might not be you favorite" its sarcastic. like "you dont like powerful woman" or "you dont like good books". That is to say, whether i read the books or not, I feel more comfortable supporting you as a creator for your level of honesty.

[@morfa_studios6698]

The only reason I am not buying and reading this book is because the heating up makes me uncomfortable. It’s so tempting still but I don’t want to wander into something that churns my stomach. Maybe I will find out which parts have that prior and skip them. Not sure yet, but you are really selling this book. It sounds really good.

[@mirjanbouma]

Maybe a stupid suggestion, but do you have a trusted friend who can put coloured paper over the text of those bits? Coloured so the text won't show through as easily.

[@morfa_studios6698]

@@mirjanbouma Thank you! This is a great idea!

That was maybe one of the most wholesome interactions to ever occur in a comment section 😊

[@felicitywendt3299]

Same, she was talking ab how it tales a while as a con ans I was like "it could take longer!" I'm js not the most into that kinda stuff, but I thought it was kinda funny. Ig I didn't realize ppl actually preferred when things got spicy 🤷‍♀️😅😂❤️

[@shojodraws3399]

Thank you for being honest about the content in your series! I've started so many books that are not open about its spice levels and its a huge turnoff for me. Good luck with your sucess!

[@Dragonmoon8526]

To late, already ordered it, no take backs. =) I'm fine with everything you mentioned as long as there's character growth. Politics is fine as longs as there's some enjoyable twists and turns. Anyone can write hack and slash. Takes skill and forethought to pull off political intrigue. Looking forward to it.

[@rachelsichmeller4192]

My copy arrived today. So lovingly packaged! I'm excited to read it!

[@Elisabeth_Wheatley]

💜💜💜 Happy reading!

[@thebumblebeemovie3514]

*Fantasy novel with lots of romance involved* Me: 😃 *said romance involves sex scene.* Me: I’m out. Thanks for the warning 👍🏻 appreciate it! 👏

[@Joel--yr6me]

Yeah I appreciate it too. I won't read anything more than a kiss, so I'm really grateful for the warning!

[@humairahkazi2459]

Yeah im the same way. I like books that arent full-on romance, but have romance as a side plot. Like, the main characters have to go on a quest together and get to know each other along the way. I dont anything more than lissing and maybe an implied sex scene? Like when both characters are drunk and stumble into a bedroom and then it cuts to the morning after.

[@shailidutta2129]

Faramir is one of my favourite heroes ever and so underrated too so the fact that you’ve written an entire book with the male lead based on him really has me sold

[@Prene16]

Not me watching this after I finished all 5 books and I am starving for ANY related content. September cannot come soon enough

[@maevem316]

Morally gray woman and cinnamon roll man does sound like it might be a lot of fun actually...

[@I_Willenbrock_I]

Faramir was a good guy and sometimes that what you need. If the main character dies questionable things (even with good intent), they need a moral compass. Although boromir was the more interesting character. 😉 It's totally ok if the villain isn't totally clear cut but to be fair, if all characters are just different shades of gray and the ambiguity is overdone, it's not interesting anymore. Having a good guy become the villian because of good elreasins or misplaced good intent is interesting if done well. Such characters can also have redemption at the end.

[@gshimon]

I will uld love to hear a little bit of the process you go trought while writing Politics in your books, I'm really interested in that but idk how to strat

[@Dragoniiia]

Oh SO you mean why I SHOULD read your book. okay okay (tho you convinced me with other shorts already lol)

[@amberterrien5119]

I can’t believe you’re the narrator for the audio book that’s crazy ! Reading/listening on my kindle I like to follow along so far so good!

[@samturner4860]

Got the book on google play earlier today. I'm only 120 pages in so far but the book's ace! I'm looking forward to seeing how this all plays out

[@icarusbinns3156]

This sounds like a perfect book for me. The Quest intensifies!!! And the library is finally open again. Not the public library, my in-house library that sometimes doubles as a guest room

[@bast713]

I finished the first two books in a single day after watching your shorts. It has been a while since I marathon read like that. Safe to say I'm enjoying the series. I'm trying to slow down to read the others. 😅

[@quietestkitten]

No alph - SIGN ME UP!

[@americandefender1861]

I'm really glad you let us honestly know the 'content warnings' so to speak, for your books. I've been interested in this series, and if it weren't for the spice I would probably read them, but I'm glad you let me know, so I don't get into something I'm not comfortable with. However, I am reading the Argetallam Saga, as I mentioned in one of your lives. I just wish I could pronounce the names! Lol, one of my few beefs with the High Fantasy Genre lol,

[@kristenhlady4079]

I really want to read your book, just found you today. KZbin recommended your channel. I am very interested in the books you write from what i have seen so far. I hope i get this book series for my birthday ❤❤❤

[@tagtra290]

The uno reverse card of marketing *smashes that ebook link*

[@Wild_Child189]

I’m not very into fantasy politics or spice ESPECIALLY open door spice. So, I probably won’t be read in this book soon, but I do appreciate your openness about how your book might be disliked by some people and that it’s not for everyone. I may not like, the book, but I do like the author! 👍

[@missep1830]

turned into 5 reasons why I am going to read these now lol

[@libraryphoenix]

Thank you for making this list! Knowing the spice level of a book is important to me, and this is extremely helpful. 😊 Thank you for what you create!

[@Friley420]

I'm four and a half hours into Daindreth's Assassin. Holy crap i am OBSESSED

[@MrHam-fq1gu]

Sounds like Mistborn Era 1 with a little Throne of Glass mixed in, which is perfect

[@godsgospelgirl]

What about the Warlords of the Sandsea? I LOVE your shorts - you're clearly a good storyteller. :) But I can't do sex scenes - or demon stuff - or being possessed. So Daindreth's Assassins may not be for me, but I'm curious about your other novels.

[@Elisabeth_Wheatley]

Warlords of the Sandsea is fade to black as is the Argetallam Saga!

[@932ForeverLove]

Thank you for sharing this information with us

[@Canibella237]

I'm about to buy it now off kindle!! So excited!

[@Elisabeth_Wheatley]

Yay! 💜

[@hannahv7008]

I will ask it for christmas.Is it available in French ?

[@Elisabeth_Wheatley]

Yay! At this time, it is only in English, but we ship worldwide!

[@fynnkessels2488]

I shouldn’t have been surprised this made me want to read the books even more given that I’ve bought books purely based on negative reviews I read…

[@wanderingbelle7]

I sometimes have a hard time wading through political intrigue in books but holy mackerel the rest sounds so delicious I might have to give it a shot anyway lol You had me at Faramir ngl

[@fruitbat4429]

Ah, the reverse sell. Neat. Of course, it has been said that the purpose of advertising isn't just to se11 the book, but more importantly, to sell the book to the people who are going to enjoy it. Minor confession, I did wonder - not looking at the subtitles whether Book 4 was going to have a full on back-door sex scene . . . (I'll get me coat.)

[@smetmeva2378]

Personally, I enjoyed your book even if it taked more time to understand because english is not my first langague. It was a good discover ! ❤

[@adellethompson9615]

Yeah no. Now I'm even more convinced this series is for me. I've just read a sample of the first book on kindle and literally ordered all 5 books so that's me sorted for books for a while ❤

[@bendovbloch7630]

now that you present reasons why I shouldn't want it, I find myself wanting it more :)

[@princecharon]

Well, I certainly respect your honesty about this. Thank you.

[@lenakataeva7525]

This series sounds like exactly what I would like to read

[@DestinyHime]

I sort of want to read your series it it’s just that you seem very sweet and I’m gonna feel bad if I don’t like the series.

[@satsudead]

tbh this feels like top 5 reasons to read this

[@accaliamoon4897]

I am writing a book in which my main lead is a Queen( like, an actual Queen) and she does some very questionable, borderline insane things to protect her kingdom. And oh, the male lead loves her. Like, it's almost reverence if I dare say. So uhh Pray for me cuz I am nursing this huge writers block

[@vilis6262]

Try just writing backstories for side characters or making a fantasy map. That's what I do so I can still be inspired in the same universe. Helps sometimes with writers block

[@accaliamoon4897]

@vilis6262 Thank youu 💜

[@EmilyAnn634571]

Hmm, I don’t know what the situation is with your publisher, but I can’t do open door spice. Would you ever consider publishing a version (same price or slightly more) with the spice redacted? I know there was a girl for a while who would purchase, white out, and resell this way but I seem to have lost track of her. I’d hate to miss out on the whole series for just a couple pages, but unfortunately I’d have to. It’s a religious thing.

[@jonquilgemstone]

I feel the same way. I could avoid those pages or white them out myself, but 1. avoiding temptation is sometimes necessary, and 2. I don't like to add to the demand for that type of content by buying it.

[@qwertyuiopasdfghjklzxcvbnm3093]

If you are really willing to read the book, couldn't you just skip those pages? Or glue them or leave a mark so you'd see it and not read that part? Or do you have specific customs to follow, like not owning books that have icky stuff in it?

[@christopherlyons5900]

I'd say it's not for me, except I'm writing this fanfic based on a canceled TV show (based on DC comics, sheesh), it's basically novel length now, and it kind of checks all the boxes you just mentioned, though probably not the same exact way. I mean, my heroine is The Joker's foster daughter, who was actually Two-Face's daughter, and she's got a really wicked sense of humor, but her squeeze is a real straight arrow type (adopted son of Bruce Wayne), though he did behead an immortal assassin this one time. She keeps calling him a doofus, and he is, and that's what she loves about him. He doesn't want to change her either. Thing is you need that contrast for an interesting romantic relationship. Maybe people who are very similar have good relationships, but they would have less to teach each other, and that makes for a much less interesting story. I got to the spice pretty early on (they'd already done it on the show), but I just don't feel the need to go full NC-17, to use fanfic parlance. I guess there are some fairly unambiguous bad people, but they tend not to take up much space, because again--not interesting. No layers. Anyone wants to read it, Google "Not Offended, Duela" And I think I will check out your first book. I'll buy that. You understand, I have to give my stuff away for free, because copyright. ;)

[@christopherlyons5900]

Finished! Loved it. Will read the Thadred/Sair spinoff when it gets to Kindle (I have no space left for physical books, apartment, partner who also reads but cant get into ebooks, fortunately I work for a library, that's worked out for her). Weirdly, Amira greatly resembles the morally grey redheaded heroine I borrowed from a shortlived TV series, who was in turn borrowed from the comics. Main difference is that my girl would probably look at Amira and say "Why so serious?" She's also into golden retriever guys, though. It's a nice contrast. Maybe hers is more of a German Shepherd. Or a really good-natured horse. I hope we haven't seen the last of Amira and Daindredth. But I can't say more than that without spoilers. So that's all I have to say. Except if anyone really loved the Daindredth books--Google "Not Offended, Duela." No charge. Because copyright is a thing.

[@callnight1441]

Well now this made my ears prick up👀

[@cmm5542]

So . . . somewhere between The Folk of the Air and Shakespeare? I am most definitely intrigued.

[@zeffer9366]

THESE ARE THE REASONS I LOVE STORIES

[@gmg9010]

You had me at political intrigue.

[@ChaoticKris964]

The only thing in here that could deter me is the spice, and books 1-2 spice level is a LOT for me. However I am more than halfway through the second book so there’s no turning back

[@wherami]

This sounds either really good or really bad . I’m tempted lol

[@TheReiGillepsieLibrary]

Thank you! Literally jumped apps to go buy the audio book. 😂

[@tamiyaflameheart17]

I just unfortunately don't like romance novels unfortunately but the idea does sound good and I hope it goes well for you!

[@Half_Blood_Hufflepuff]

#2 is a reason it is for me

[@lavinaacrux1831]

Is this a good book for a club read?

[@PatGilliland]

Morally grey - that appeals.

[@foxonfire7]

How this makes me whis there was a hungaryan translation. I could probably read it in english, i probably will but it would be nice. I hope it takes off well enough to get translated.

[@galarianrapidash9483]

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE POLITICS IN FANTASY

[@samturner4860]

And I just hit chapter 18 and I'm not okay.

[@DeerBoy736]

Sound ms even more like this book is for me.

[@dallindespain5082]

It seems fun it has a lot of things that like, except I'm not into romance.

[@Jade.051]

The only thing that it’s not for me is the sex scenes, but I guess I could give it a try nonetheless, love morally grey characters!! I don’t really like characters that are supposed to be 100% of something, I mostly love anti-heroes

[@cherryjello777]

So, Daindreth's Assassin is first in the series? Then Outlaw, then Traitor, then Sorceress, then Empress? Where do Bastard's Honor and Archduke fit in? (I'm on the website now!)

[@TheLastSane1]

Archduke is Daindreth's version of Assassin up to Chapter 5ish (I would have to go back and see) basically just their first encounter and the fall out of it and how they end up continuing onto the story together. Bastard's Honor is a spin off about a secondary character who the fans love. Involving a character from Outlaw as well.

[@Dunybrook]

A cinnamon roll who employs an assassin? Or one whom people want to assassinate? I'm intrigued.

[@TheLastSane1]

Its kind of spoilery, but only for like the first 2-3 chapters of book 1. Don't read past if you're not ok with that little spoiler. Amira was sent as an assassin to kill the cinnamon roll, things happened and she ends up working for the cinnamon roll, though mostly out of a sense of "Touch him and I will end you" he doesn't really employ her as an assassin so to speak.

[@raikenleo1902]

You just listed everything that makes me interested in it lol

[@Nickvk4]

Hahaha, same!

[@jenelenjenelen5545]

The reason I'm not buying the book is because the theme of "a parent having way too much control" sounds too frightening to read about. 😅 Love your youtube though.

[@peach-tv9bs]

#1 and #5 are reasons why it is not for me, yeah, I'm a little bit tired of this in modern fiction)

[@melodybench325]

Dangit 😂 i wanted to read this but I'm a closed door / FTB person and im not risking getting invested and battling whether to read 4/5. Oh well

[@wanderingbelle7]

You could always skip the sex scenes or skim them really lightly for dialogue…that’s what I always do when I’m invested in a spicy fanfic lmao

[@SlyviaElanor]

You know, I'd love to read that except for the fact that I'm 14.

[@mattmorehouse9685]

I feel "100% evil/good" might be a bad way to put it. Especially since good/ evil could be seen as not the sum total of views. Take someone widly regarded as pure evil- like Stalin. He had tons of people murdered, set up his own dictatorship, and shipped Soviet soldiers who survived the Nazis off to siberia for being insufficiently loyal. Read piece of work. Thing is, he did oppose Hitler. Does that make him a good/morally grey person? I'd argue no, since, from what I've heard he did it out of power lust. Sure the Soviet peoples weren't slaughtered, but it wasn't out of concern for them, but the simple idea that Stalin could expand his power by being slightly less awful then the alternative. His actions were slightly less awful then Hitler, so he is not "100% evil" but so close it makes little difference.

[@Faye-el1bz]

Sold me on the political thriller mind you you'll find politics in every area of life Cool Oh it sounds amazing

[@queenmarshmallow8013]

Weird to hear you're normal voice with the accents also in the videos

[@shravyaboggarapu5877]

I see what you did there 😂

[@LostPeopleOfEarth158]

I was on board until the spice came up. I don't like spicy books. A kiss or hug here and there is fine. I do not want to read or hear about what goes on behind closed doors. If it's going to go there please cut the chapter there and resume the following morning or when the action continues. I am a prude and that's not going to change anytime soon.

[@vilis6262]

Try having someone cover it for you

[@astronomicafilms]

Clearly never actually read LotR, because Faramir is incredibly Alpha.

[@Lesss15]

Correction: 4 reasons why I should read Daindreth's Assassin I say 4 cus i dont want sex scenes but i can easily skip them anyway
