Okay 1.) I adore your sense of humor. You are hilarious 😂 and 2.) thank you for the note about fleetfoot. I’ve been so stressed the dog is going to die in the series and my heart cannot with that. 😂😅❤

[@havenms961]

Yes please, and book 2 when you get a chance too. I want to continue the series but I don’t want to reread book 1 and 2

[@booksbynichelle]

Working on book 2 right now! I'm hoping to have it out by the end of the month!

[@Ndiercks1d]

I hope you finish out the series! This was the best hour I’ve spent in a long time! I could not bring myself to start Kingdom of Ash bc I’m terrified (literally shaking in my boots over who I’ll lose) and now it’s been a year and I’m finally emotionally ready. Your videos have me so excited. Please please please keep going!!! ❤

[@ashxx8659]

the first “Choal” right out the gate killed me this is amazing and i will need the entire series

[@kamialexaa]

Thanks! I read them in release order as they I was waiting for ACOMAF (I still cannot believe that was 8 years ago) and now that I've finished CC3 I realized I've fogoten everything about TOG, so I'll be looking forward catching up to all the videos you've made about them c:

[@booksbynichelle]

Wow! You were a true OG SJM fan! I didn't start reading SJM until around the time Silver Flames came out!

[@chloeclarke9495]

I love the effort you put into this! It’s such a different way to do a recap! I hope you do all of TOG.

[@The_Names_Bogdo]

Your delivery gives me life 😂

[@PeachShortcake_]

Girl I'm full on obsessed with you & your channel 😅 I was having trouble reading these books so you're coming to my rescue. I appreciate you! I'm upset that you don't have more subscribers tho, I'm sharing your videos all over bc you deserve _many_ more subscribers! Also tysm for having captions bc us in the d/Deaf/HoH community often get overlooked & not thought of 🖤 you're an angel

[@booksbynichelle]

Thank you! 💖

[@zoinksscoob8440]

pleaseee make more this was amazing and hilarious

[@Wollydsee]

Love this video!!!! And your humour THANK YOU SO MUCH!

[@melissagrissom2900]

OK so I found you today while, I was looking to listen to something while I worked out and I loved your retelling of a book. I had really wanted to read, but didn’t have the time I stumbled upon this video after watching your retelling of the assassins, blade. I knew I had to subscribe and I went to check to see what other videos you had and I noticed your banner about no child of mine. I just had to buy it. I’m so excited to read your book. I am someone who struggles with an autoimmune condition and reading is not something I get to do a whole lot of. I appreciate the time you take to put together content like this and I’m already two chapters in your book and I think I’m gonna enjoy it.

[@booksbynichelle]

Thank you so much! I really appreciate that! I hope you enjoy it!!!

[@dianavegapanda2]

Thank you!!!! Please keep making these! I’ve watched both videos and they were both so helpful!

[@AlliyScott]

Omg thank you SO much for these recaps 🙏 I was going to do a reread cause I was having a hard time remembering a few things and these videos saved me so much time haha. please do them all!!!!

I'm the president of the Chaol apologists! Does he make mistakes? Of course! But he gets so much undeserved hate!

[@bellabakeman6455]

[@booksbynichelle]

I definitely plan to continue in the series, but I don't think I'll be able to get through all the books before the HOFAS release since we're only like a month out!

[@destineyblackston8197]

Just started my TOG journey currently on Queen of Shadows so i can watch these hehe 🤭

[@booksbynichelle]

Yay! Queen of Shadow is my FAVORITE book in the series!

[@anabearg]

My plan was to listen the video while trying to sleep, but girl you got me awake and unable to look away from the screen with the visuals you used! Hahahahah

[@helenasanchislozano1954]

Hello, I'm reading again the first book and I have a few questions. 1. When she is talking for the first time with Elena, she tells her that someone made her come to the tomb, to both of them. I don't remember if they say who later. Was it Nehemia or Cain or someone else...? 2. Who is coming to get them? The gargoyles? Or other the evil things that we see later in the book? 3. "She heard a faint voice cry from behind her, almost in sudden realization and anger" what does this mean. Any theories to who the voice belonged to? Why was it angry, what did it realise?

[@booksbynichelle]

1. I don't think we entirely know who sent them both there. We might learn more in later books, but to me, it is more like the "threads of fate" Celaena mentions a few times-like it was their destiny to meet. 2. Queen Elena says it's the gargoyles that guard the portal between worlds, which are connected to the things we learn about later in the series. 3. Pretty sure it's Queen Elena's voice behind her. I don't think we know what she sees that makes her cry out. I assume something connected to the creatures or the other world, but I'm not sure. This scene is pretty vague and I think we learn a lot of context for Queen Elena in Kingdom of Ash!

[@StormbornDragon]

honestly i needed this when i was first reading it bc the world building was A LOT on the first read. i’m on book three and still don’t totally understand wyrds or wyrd keys

[@booksbynichelle]

SJM leaves a lot of world building stuff that you won't understand until later in the series. I don't think she really reveal the full understanding of the Wyrd until the 6th book! But it's so exciting when it all starts to come together!

[@injiqi4695]

Stoppp the way you mentioned Erewhon or whatever I was literally thinking that in my head

[@booksbynichelle]

Yes! Every time that names pops up I start thinking about $30 smoothies! lol
