A COURT OF WINGS & RUIN BY SARAH J MAAS [BOOK REVIEW & DICUSSION!!!]

[@alishareadsbooks]

I just saw a recent interview that said she next three ACOTAR books will each be centered around a different couple. 😍

[@Bookables]

AH WHO? NESTA/CASSIAN LUCIEN/ELAINE MIRYAM/DRAKON WHO?????????

[@chattymermaid1755]

Alisha Christine OMG this is so excitiiing !

[@angrylittledumpling]

maybe Vassa and Jurian? I'd totally dig the whole Swan Princess thing. I know Vassa meshed with Lucian at the end but I'm still holding out that Elain will get her stupid head out of her ass.

[@minstrel1097]

I thought it was made quite clear that Amren's an angel. The sequel will probably be about the human queen and breaking her curse, with Lucien and Azriel in the background.

[@Bookables]

Ooh that would be intertesing!

[@Sheechiibii]

I agree about the Amren angel connection. Pretty much everything she said in this book sounded like spot on for her to be an angel, fallen in her case, exactly how she words it at one point. And then at the end I'm fairly sure she had both wings and a halo.

[@pinksuperstar2]

I'm with you on Mor and Azriel. I loved those two so so much. I wanted them to be together but that didn't happen. And as much as I appreciate Sarah showing more representation, I didn't like how it was done. How Mor knows fully well she'll never love him that way but doesn't want to tell him. And then kinda rubs it in his face by going off with other guys. And that hurt. I love Azriel so much. He's my second male favorite character from the books and I wanted him to be happy. I wanted that more than anything. I would love if the next set of books were told from his POV. There's so much about him I'd love to know.

[@Bookables]

Yes!!!

[@謝慈恩-c8t]

Me,too.

[@raynahailey]

I like Az & Elain, but I don't want them to end up being mates bc I feel like it would be wayyyy overkill and I just want a beautiful friendship😂

[@Bookables]

Me as well! Not everyone has to be paired up together!

[@rbkortz]

Bookables I think the one that is ready to know herself, be single and enjoy herself is Mor but after coming out.

[@kylaoregan6178]

-I love Lucien to death and I think he deserves someone who actually wants him back and I don't think Elaine would be able to give that to him, I also don't think she would be good with Az -On the contrary, i HATE Nesta even after this book, but I love her with Cas? Like I was LIVING for that ending like she was willing to die with him???? Hello???? It has to be a mating bond there is no way there isn't, especially after how she started yelling his name and what not during the battle, praying to god SJM makes in cannon because damn man -With the bone carver, I thought we were gonna get Rhys babies, I'm still upset there were no Rhys babies, still optimistic about Rhys babies -YO THAT MEETING THO I WAS LIIIIIIIVING FOR THAT DRAMA OH GURL DON'T EVEN GET ME STARTED ON THAT TAMLIN AND RHYS NONSENSE I WAS LAUGHING SO HARD YOU DON'T EVEN UNDERSTAND, AND THAT BABY DADDY DRAMA SHIT SON I WAS LIKE YESSSSSSS GOD -I'm kinda mad at Mor, I understand coming out is hard but she's been leading Az on for 500 yeeeears, at least let the man know she's not interested, let him move on and be happy you know? -Tamlin, he's a prick and I still really don't like him but I'm really happy that he helped the Night Court peeps out, he still loves Fayre and wants to see her happy and in this book I think Tamlin almost redeemed himself -Rhys dying destroyed ((even though I called it from the beginning)) me but him coming back was pretty predictable, AMREN THO I THOUGHT SHE WAS GONE FOREVER BUT NAH SON LOVE AMREN SO SO MUCH Ugh so many thoughts, so many

[@Bookables]

YES TO EVERYTHING YOU SAID! I think i was always not love Nesta because shes just a jerk but I freaking love her and cassian together!

[@tiaratoberead1216]

Dude when Tamlin dropped his essence to save Rhys I was crying because he really truly does care about her and his love which just unfortunately so misplaced.

[@kylaoregan6178]

TiaratobeRead it honestly made me really sad I was like dude I'm sorry. Because if you think about it Fayre was quite literally ripped away from him (during their wedding may I remind you) and yes he was abusive but he was just doing what he thought would protect her (no im not condoning what he did and no it's 100% not okay) but I felt kind of bad (?) for him, again he's still prick but he still deserves to be happy

[@tiaratoberead1216]

Kyla O'Regan my sentiments exactly I felt so bad and I hope he takes the time to really understand more what he did wrong, he was starting to in this book but he needs more time and then I want him to be happy bc he lost his love and his best friend (Lucien). So sad.

[@kylaoregan6178]

For that reason I really want the next few books to be in Lucien's perspective in hopes that we might get to still see how Tamlin is dealing with everything, and I mean the spring court is really pretty and I don't want to be 100% finished with it, I still feel like there are things to be wrapped up with Tamlin and his court, especially because the court itself kinda went under during the whole war situation, I want to see it get fixed and back to even a somewhat stable place

[@angbaci]

God I thought I was the only one who doesn't ship Az and Elaine! I want her and Lucian to be together and her and Az to have a strong brother-sister like friendship, much like what Feyre and Cassian have. Is that too much to ask? And YAAAASSS I was living for those Nesta and Cassian interactions.

[@Bookables]

Yes exactly! Not every relationship has to be a romantic one!

[@Meg_pie]

When the suriel died i actually ugly cried because you know what? the Suriel was a dreamer. i was actually really upset that she made us feel so upset about the Suriel but I guess the alternative was killing of one of the members of the court of Dreams. anyways for the next books I think they will center around the human queen Assa and Jurian, Nesta and Cassian, Elain and Lucien, Miryam and Drakon, and maybe Morrigan and her whole coming out and finding love. Oh my gosh there are so many possibilities! but im so sad that we won't be rading in the point of view of Feyre anymore.

[@Bookables]

So many possibilities!!!

[@jedibookmasterivy]

I want an Amren book! I'm totally shipping Cassian and Nesta so hard hopefully a novella!?!?!? The bone carved is so much fun to read. Also I flew from Las Vegas to meet Sarah in Portland and she said each new book will be a different person some of which we have met and some of which we have NOT met.

[@Bookables]

oooooh thanks for sharing! that leaves so many possibilies!!!

[@jackystar5099]

I just finished it yesterday and I had to talk to someone and this is the next best thing. I have no friends that read and the one that does hasn't read it. My favorite character is Azriel and I totally agree with what you said about Mor and Azriel.

[@c8cameron]

Jacky Star I feel the same way! omg!! I need someone to #fangirl with!

[@Bookables]

Yay! glad my review came at the rgith time!!

[@Bookables]

always here to fangirl with!!!

[@c8cameron]

Lol thanks!! I had all the feels. I agree with you about rereading the whole series! Hopefully thing would come together better for me! But absolutely love these books!

[@CFpaula25]

the next book need to be about the autumn court i need that lucien book

[@Bookables]

YOU & ME BOTH!

[@sassysarahreads]

I spent this whole book thinking everyone thought Nesta and Cassian had a mating bond. I had a short story in my edition of ACOMAF that lead me to believe that the stirrings of a bond were between them. Nesta is a cruel character, but if she is a wielder of death then it makes sense. Death is cruel and it can't be wielded by a kind soul like Elain. I love Az, but I don't know if I want him to end up with Elain or anyone. I'm on the fence. The Bone Carver and the Suriel are two of my favorite creatures in this series. I cried when both of them died because I really loved them. I would like to see a book that focuses on each of the Inner Circle. I don't know. I just feel like each of them has an important story that goes beyond these books. I really enjoyed Mor's reasoning for stringing Az on for so long, but at the same time, I don't think that it was her original storyline. I think the backlash of "fans" who want more diversity (she's not a diverse author and that's okay; some writers are not meant to write outside of what they know) and it just felt forced and cruel. I don't know I'm on the fence about it. I love Mor, but to manipulate and deceive someone for over 500 years is cruel and I don't see that being Mor's original intention at all, but like I said people wanted diversity and Maas gave it to them at the expense of Az. I still love Mor though. I loved how in the end Elain was the one to kill them king and Nesta just brutalized him. It was incredibly believable and so satisfying. Rhys dying absolutely destroyed my soul. I was bawling for twenty minutes even when he came back because I was just so emotional. I definitely loved this one and it's my personal favorite in the trilogy. Thanks for putting out such a great video!

[@Bookables]

Love and agree with everything you said! Esp about death and nesta! You are right, it couldnt be death with elain so he had to use nesta lol!

[@c8cameron]

my heart stopped when Tamlin crushed the meeting!! but did anyone notice that Feyre didn't beg the high lords to bring back her father! !! Lol I love this series! and love your videos!

[@Bookables]

Yes! her fathers death was kind of brushed over which doesnt suprise me because her father this whole series has kind of been brushed over...

[@alexandrinemessager6501]

Yeah I didn't like that either! I felt it was unrealistic that she didn't even cry even a little! Even if she didn't like how he didn't handle things it was still her father!

[@Amanda1721_]

He literally let his young daughter risk her life to feed his family and let a beast take her away.. i dont blame her for not caring.. also yes i know a very late comment 😂😂

[@MeganBenjaminEvans]

I cried when the Suriel scene happened. GAH! Totally side swiped me. The side characters like the Weaver, Bryaxis, and the Bone Carver were fantastic!!!! Love this review!!!!

[@Bookables]

thanks so much for watching!

[@Karma-pv1uu]

I'm a Elain and Az shipper. Az is my fav character and I wanna see him happy. Plus he and Elain just click( I love how she's not wary or intimidated of him like everyone else is when they first meet him). I like Lucian but honestly I don't think his happy ending is with her. I think it belongs in the day court with Helion one they find out they're father/son. Plus I wanna see what happens when someone rejects the mate bond.

[@Bookables]

yes!

[@hindimusiclove316]

Finally. Someone who thinks like me. I love Lucian but Elain has a different chemistry with Az, and especially that Mor and Az is not a perspective anymore. I want to see what happens if she doesn't want her mate Lucian

[@amaysncraftstasha]

This book was amazing! I thought it was a great conclusion to the trilogy. I can't wait to see who the next books follow.

[@Bookables]

me too!!

[@MikiBaka1]

Same here about Lucien! Lucien was like this character that is always there but nothing special for me. HOWEVER in this book, he became one of my favourite characters! I really wish Lucien and Elain will end up together, even though a lot of people want Elain and Az together. I can see Az and Elain to be a cute couple (like the part when Elain is in the garden and Az is just leaning against the wall reading his papers while watching Elain) but just for some reason, I just really want Lucien and Elain together!

[@Bookables]

Me as well! I want Az to be happy but Im hoping for more of a brother/sister relationship with az and elaine!

[@Courtneylashawn]

Baakaa_ i agree we just have to give her time. she has to get use to being fae and on top of that she has the mating bond to accept, plus her father died. she accept Lucien right away but I'm sure she will

[@DaydreamingxIntrovert]

Just finished this. I did like it. I'm glad we got the ending we did. But....there wasn't enough of Lucien in this book. And also, interested in Mor's story line i dont want to spoil anything i just wanted to see Rhy's reaction sigh...thats for another book i guess!!

[@Bookables]

perhaps another book soon!

[@kylnmllr87]

First off I loved the book. Not as much as ACOMAF but I wasn't expecting that going in. ACOMAF is just hard to compete with. I was very excited when you mentioned the Throne of Glass and ACOTAR connection. I always speculated they were connected after it mentioned the tear in the world amren came through. It just seemed to similar to the tears in the world in throne of glass. That it was one of the worlds that could possibly be accessed through one of the tears in throne of glass. But I totally missed that the bond carver said something. What was it exactly and where in the book. I'm intrigued!

[@Bookables]

OOOh I forgot but will look it up! I think it was when feyre and cassian went to visit him, the first time I believe

[@aoife1849]

"You get a mating bond!" hahaha fantastic. I think Elaine might reject Lucian and something will develop between her and Az once Mor tells him about her situation. Love Nesta x Cas too. She totally grew on me! So badass. Loved the high lord meeting scene too. Sooo epic when Feyre showed off her powers. Strong EoS vibes for the final battle when everyone shows up in the end, but a good setup for the following trilogy. Wondering if SJM will write the following books with multi-perspectives or just one character. If it followed a single PoV I think it would either be Elaine or Nesta (or maybe both!). And Oh👏My👏God👏 when Rhys died.. for a second there.. thy shat oneself.

[@Bookables]

who knows!!! I hope she releases soon who the new set of books will follow!

[@phix27]

I really love your makeup in this video!! You look nice!!

[@Bookables]

Thanks! I tried to do a 'night courtish' loook lol!

[@kevinkelly_]

I absolutely loved this book so much! It was my favourite out of 3 and I didn't think It would beat ACOMAF for me but it did! I also love ACOTAR series more than Throne of Glass! Omg don't get me started on the cauldron and rhys I literally sobbed and had to put the book down. But I was so happy then when everything was ok! Loved this video and glad you enjoyed it too!!

[@Bookables]

Me too, so many tears!!!!

[@autumnrosedearborn8923]

I think there will be a whole book about the autumn court! There was a lot mentioned but not wrapped up, and I think that was intentional. I also think there will be a book about Armen, and a book about miryam and drakon.

[@Bookables]

yessss!

[@cveta27]

Hi, I wrote to you one week ago about advice on if i should read this book or not. So I just finished it and I want to say thank you, thank you, thank you for telling me to read it. I am so relieved that Feyre did not die. This is officially my favorite trilogy ever. Lots of hugs

[@Bookables]

So glad you enjoyed it!!!

[@alannasama777]

This book completely wrecked my life. I read it, had to set it down near the end to cry sobbing tears, and definitely am looking forward to the new additions she is going to bring to us next year. I kind of want Elucian, but I can also see Az and Elain becoming something. I definitely enjoyed Feyre's brief stint in the Spring Court, doing everything in her power to piss off Tamlin and Ianthe. The Hybern twins are evil, nasty little bastards. Eris, too, while I am at it. Cassian and Az's grand, dramatic entrance was bloody brilliant. Feyre's reunion with Rhys and the Inner Circle was absolutely beautiful. Nesta and Cassian, holy gods! I saw that coming though, because of the short story at the end of the Target exclusive of ACOMAF. Elain being a seer was a shock, and Az figuring it out first, even more so. Mor's story of her sexuality was definitely a shock. I wanted her and Az together. The Dawn Court, and it's High Lord, are absolutely beautiful. Thesan was definitely a major surprise. The masks of Kallias and Helion Spell-Cleaver being ripped away to surprise Feyre with the truth of how they really are was kind of funny. Amren's true form was a major surprise, but not the fact that she intended to return to her true form. Ianthe's death was absolutely beautiful. Elain being part of the killing of the king of Hybern was a surprise to me. Az giving Truth-Teller to Elain was a beautiful, and very touching scene. I am glad that Tamlin got some sort of redemption. Chapter 76 and 77 killed me. I would have literally thrown the book had Rhys actually been killed. I had to set that down due to how badly I was crying. I fell in love with Rhys in ACOTAR, more in ACOMAF, and could not bear it if Feyre was left alone without the love of her life. I am glad Miryam and Drakon were introduced, and that they liked Feyre. Feyre learning to fly was bloody hilarious, as well as useful later in the book.

[@Bookables]

yes to this all! we just need more!!!!

[@alannasama777]

She said that the spinoffs are going to involve some of the romantic pairings we have been anticipating, so that at least will tie up some of those loose ends.

[@latashasbookworld2471]

I hope we get a Lucien book from when he left to find Vassa until the battle scene and passed that because we do find out the he may have a different dad. I also want more of the inner circle story especially Azriel. I also have a feeling thag the other books might be focused on Vassa because she did ask Feyre if she can break her curse. I also think she might get shipped with ine of the inner circle or Tamlin (the curse thing). ughh, I thought this book was going to finally give me an ending but once I finished it I was like nooooooo I still have questions. But it was a great way for Sarah to still have us wrapped around these books.

[@Bookables]

SO many open endings! I mean we have to learn more about Lucien because of all his open endings. And agree about Vassa, I think she will def play a part in the next books!!

[@shimmerportrey2906]

This was such an interesting video! Thank you for doing this! I have not read any Sarah J. Mass yet, but after this video I definitely want to. This series sounds so developed and intricate.

[@Bookables]

Def very intricate that is for sure!!

[@GraemeBell9864]

Apparently ACOTAR is first then TOG then Crescent City. Then the lines between the worlds start to blur.....

[@babybluangelz]

SJM said that technically Aelin could use the wyrd gate to enter the Prythian/ACOTAR world

[@Bookables]

hmmmm maybe she will elebrote on this later!

[@AliCatWrites]

Things is gonna be a long comment so hold tight: I want the next book to me focused on Az. I personally don't love him and Elaine together, but I just want a book about him so I'll take what I can get lol. I think Maas dropping the hint that the mating bond can be rejected is her way of telling us Elaine and Lucien won't be together, but I could be wrong. I'm usually not, but we'll see. I just wanna see more Az, get to know him better, see the full extent of what he can do. He's my favorite character so yeah, need more Az. I need more Winter Court. Messenger Fox. Nuff' said. Maas has said that the TOG series and ACOTAR series exist in the same universe, but not the same world I believe. She may decide to connect them sometime down the line tho. Lorcan from TOG has some of the same powers Rhys does, and another character from TOG can winnow. So, definitely room for connection there.

[@solmuro1158]

diagonali394 :) I too want the next book to be focused on Az! And like you I'm not sure how I feel about him and Elaine... I like their friendship though. I think the next book might be centered around Nesta and Cassian, but I'd prefer Azriel. Overall I think ACOWAR is tied up there with ACOMAF and I can't wait for the next book.

[@Bookables]

Glad im not alone on not wanting az and elaine! and thanks for sharing info on the worlds, i had no clue lol!

[@jackiesliterarycorner]

Yeah I like Az as a character, but not with Elaine. This is one of those times where I'm asking why can't they just be friends and not have sexual tension. I'm normally cool with friends falling in love, but not in this case.

[@AliCatWrites]

Jack Gets Lost Down a Book Hole I agree! I think they could be great friends but knowing Maas they'll probably end up together. She already did a bit of character assassination with Amir in ACOWAR, like she did with Chaol and Tamlin when it became clear they weren't end game.

[@solmuro1158]

diagonali394 I kinda want Maas to bring in a completely new character be AZriel's mate/significant other. Someone unexpected. I would want to see their relationship form from scratch. But that's just me. :)

[@mckenziestaley9063]

Sarah said that the books aren't connected. They technically could take a portal from one world to another, but she hasn't ever had that happen. I do really hope there is a series that links the two together one day though because that would be awesome!

[@Bookables]

It def would be!

[@abeltheepisces]

I just added ACOTAR to my TBR - I'm SO excited to get into this series!

[@Bookables]

yay! hope you enjoy!

[@chloeprender]

Book crack is a perfect description 😂 I'm not usually into new adult at all, but this series got me like 😳😳😳

[@Bookables]

Ha exactly! It's addicting!

[@Pookie515]

I really want to have a book centered around the Autumn Court. How it became so vicious and bloodthirsty. Even a prequel with Helion, the lady of Autumn and Baron would be fascinating! I’m also super curious about Eris, I think there is a lot more to his character, definitely morally gray but I think he can have a lot of depth and we started to see it in the ACOWAR.

[@Pookie515]

I also want to see more diversity in these books. Like I’m tired of this “golden brown” bs like bish you mean white with a killer tan. I get excited that maybe there is a bit of diversity like Rhys with the middle Eastern inspired night court clothing but nope just tanned. Idk if she purposefully uses the word brown to make the race ambiguous. Still it would be neat to see a diverse group of fae. 🤞🏽🤞🏽🤞🏽I hope they have some diversity in the future

[@Bookables]

this comment love it!!

[@Pookie515]

Bookables Girl I love YOU! I had a back injury in June and started to watch your videos when I was stuck at home. You inspired me to read again, the only reason I got into this series was you!! I’m thinking of reading “This Savage Song” duology or “Six of Crows” next which do you think I should read first? I’m a huge fan of you, you’re so beautiful and down to earth you make me smile and helped me get through a rough time this summer. God Bless 😘

[@ashl3y87]

I cried through the last 100 pages

[@Bookables]

right?? so freaking emotional!

[@CassidysYT]

I also would love to see the next book be in Lucien's perspective! I like his character a lot and I do want to see what happens with him - I actually kind of enjoyed that short moment in his perspective when Feyre was in his head. I really want to see Elain with Lucien and I agree that I would rather there be a friendship between Elain and Azriel. So I'm really, really hoping there will be a book on Lucien! Also, her named is spelled Amren, so I don't think it's pronounced Armen. I swear we need a full list of how to pronounce all the names in this series! I've been pronouncing Amren the way it's spelled: Am-ren. And Rhysand is even more complicated, but SJM said his name is pronounced Rees-sand. Maybe one day she'll create an entire list of all the pronunciations of every character one day! LOL I believe Sarah said that ToG and ACOTAR are in the same megaverse, but she said ToG and ACOTAR are not of the same world. However, I'm sure they could be connected in some way later on.

[@Bookables]

Ha I am HORRIBLE at prounouncing names!! thanks for the help!!!

[@Jeremysepicreads]

Personally if Throne of glass was in first person i would probably like it a lot more!

[@Bookables]

I agree! I would love that!!!

[@crystall31cl]

Watching this review even though I was getting spoilers :) helped me to want read these books more. I'm currently reading the 1st book and needed more motivation to read the rest. Thanks for the review :)

[@Bookables]

Thanks so much for watching!

[@jackiesliterarycorner]

Maybe will get the Autumn Court in another book. I have same problem with the Az, Elain, Lucien triangle that seems to be developing. I don't hate love triangles, I'm okay with them, but in cases like this I don't want them. Sarah seems to be hinting that we might get one.

[@Bookables]

Blah I am not a fan of love triangles! And I love both AZ and Lucien for diff reasons. No love triangle please!

[@jackiesliterarycorner]

Most people aren't fans. Guess I'm the odd one out, but in this case I agree, no love triangles. It looks like from the hints we might get one though. I'm just hoping Az won't be interested in Elain in that way, though I will feel bad for sweet Elain if she has feelings for Az.

[@rbkortz]

Bookables More than a triangle I think Lucien will have some connection to Vassa and if Elain rejects the bond he will need the distance and work (the queen vengance against the other queens). If she rejects the bond while being just friends with Az and Lucian goes away after that, we have no triangle. The other posibility with Lucian is to become his real father only heir away from the Court of Dreams. As per Elain and Az, they both loved and got their heart broken, who know maybe friendship maybe love, but no mating bond. There you go! Thats my theory! Not that I want that, it just comes from bits and hints around the story.

[@jackiesliterarycorner]

I would be okay with that, but I still lean towards Lucien and Elain. I get why Elain isn't into him though.

[@chattymermaid1755]

i am shipping cassian and nesta soo haard ! i loved nesta from the middle of the first book when feyre went back to her father estate and they started kind of bonding !

[@Bookables]

I love them together!!!

[@jasmijnzielman]

I loved the book so much but it left so much open and that just was kind of a let down but I guess we will see more in the next books!

[@Bookables]

I feel the same! SHE HAS TO TIE ALL THESE LOOSE ENDS UP!

[@jasmijnzielman]

Bookables + maybe I really wanted to feyre be pregnant 😂🙈

[@Nicolesbookishlife]

When I saw her last week, she has said that she left some loose ends open because of the next books. There will be more than 3. She said for sure 1 novella and she has 3 full novels planned plus 2 more novellas, but she has a feeling these other two novellas might pan out to be full novels the way she has been writing her novellas lately lol. She said we will get answers to a lot of things in the next books and that the first book has a timeline that starts a few months after the end of ACOWAR

[@jasmijnzielman]

Ahwww thanks that is amazing!!

[@Filmsber5]

I personally would want to see Lucien and Elain together. I think that all three sisters being with the Illyrian males is so boring because unlike Feyre and Nesta who actually have tons of chemistry with Rhys and Cass I think that Az was there for Elain when she was breaking and she really needed support - I truly see them as a great Brotp. Why is every interaction with a male and a female considered romantic? I feel like their friendship would be so cute. Besides I don't think it's the right time for both of them- Az is still head over heels in love with Mor (which needs to be resolved) and I would like to see him with an entirely newly introduced character from scratch. On the other hand Elain was engaged and ready to marry so of course being turned into fae and having a MATE on top of that would be something new and different for her. I feel like there is a lot of interesting stories that can be written about Lucien and Elain - him giving her the right to reject or keep the bond, them getting to know each other (because as he said "Elain was literally thrown in his life") and it would be a cool concept to see. Just.. I want for ONCE people to see that a friendship between a male and female exist and they can love each other (Az and Elain) as much even without a romantic relationship. And even if there are people who truly ship Elriel, some, if not most, basically ship it out of spite (either they don't like Lucien or Mor after her coming out) which is not my cup of tee. On the other hand, while I really LOVELOVE Feysand I was certainly more involved with Nessian simply because they are at the point where Feysand were in ACOMAF - bickering, longing, this tension and like we know there is more to them but neither makes the move or it is dismissed after everything. It keeps us wanting more and GOD Nesta screaming his name on the battlefield and Cassian's "last words" to her!! I CRIED. Overall, THANK YOU for being honest and giving us a very good review on the matter! I can't wait to see more from you (also make up on point goddamn!!!)

[@Bookables]

YES TO ALL OF THIS! I want Az/Elaine to have a strong friendship with no romantic feelings as well! No shame in that! And also agree about the liking cassian/nesta more in this due to ALL THE TENSION! I still love feysand and always will but their relationship was already established in this book while cassian/nesta had all the tension and i was loving it!!! Love your comment! and thank you!!!!!

[@maricruz3544]

I might be the only one but am glad she went and turned Tamlin around again. hope she adds him in the spinoffs were he finds someone to love and who loves him back.

[@Bookables]

I agree! I'm glad he was redeemed as well!

[@alexalovesbooks]

I really loved this series ender! And I have so much love for Lucien as well

[@Bookables]

Yes! I agree we still have so much to learn about him!

[@Nikkim17484]

From what I understand about the mating bond is the male senses it first. The woman feels it during there fist time in bed. So it is up to the woman if the mating bond is accepted. Sarah j maas has said that both Throne and Court take place in the same universe

[@Bookables]

ahhh thanks for sharing!!!

[@novelsandhops8284]

First off, I have to tell you thank you because I initially picked up this series to read because of your videos and it has easily become one of my favorites! And I have to say, I totally agree with you about feyre and rhys' relationship. I love their mutural respect for one another and how he always gives her an option and never an order or demand. I found it to be one of if not the healthiest YA relationships I've ever read about! I am new to this fantasy world. This was actually the first book I've read about faeries and I actually mentioned in one of my videos on my channel that I would immediately shut books and walk away from them at the first mention of faeries, but I really dig them now! Do you have any other favorite fantasy novels to recommend? I'd love to read more like this book! I am about to read sarah's other series throne of glass but I just can't get enough fantasy novels now! Any recommendations you have would be much appreciated!! :)

[@Bookables]

So so glad you enjoyed it!!

[@Writer6]

Great review! I absolutely love your Oprah "You get a mating bond, you get a mating bond..." comment. I kept cracking up over that comment yesterday after I watched this video the first time. By the way, as others have said, I think your makeup looks really great in this video. :)

[@Bookables]

hahaha yes!!! And thanks so much!

[@NairFelisRodriguez]

Cassian/Nesta perspective? I'd like to see that

[@Bookables]

me too!

[@ohsoabby4689]

I want the next book to still follow the inner circle, just I guess not Feyre and Rhys sadly!

[@Bookables]

me as well!

[@pucashells1]

I understand what everyone means about the mating bond being rare yet it seems like so many people are getting it. I am on the side that I am fine with it because in my mind it is only rare because of the fact that the fae and humans have been separated for so long which could be why it was so rare. Also I was hoping that Nesta and Cassian would get together since acomaf. However, I have to say especially for the beginning of the book I was getting so mad at her because it seemed like Cassian was trying so hard to be nice and caring and she was just being so mean to him. I don't like people being mean to anyone in the inner circle. I hope we get more of them but I also hope she changes for the better and starts caring and showing the same respect to him as he does to her. As far as Lucien I cant remember exactly when it was but I believe under the mountain Sarah J Maas described his family and something clicked them about him not being fully related to them. I didn't see it coming that he would be the child of another High Lord but I had a feeling he wasn't Beron's son.

[@Bookables]

Yes! We need to see more of Lucien!!!

[@theimperfectscrapper5313]

I thought the Cassian/Nesta ship was contrived. I would have liked to ship Nesta and Amren. Elaine’s character was better at the end, but they wrapped her in cotton wool all the time.

[@Bookables]

oooh I would have liked that ship as well!!

[@BeeBaldwin]

I’d like to see more of Mor, but I don’t want to leave Feyre and Rhys!

[@Bookables]

I think we will def see more of mor! lol to the way I typed that!

[@gabriellamorales8804]

Sarah J Mass has a pronunciation guide video. I wish she'd expand it to the newer characters. But it's AM-REN.

[@Bookables]

ah thanks so much! sorry about tat!

[@gabriellamorales8804]

Oh it doesn't bother me at all. I struggle with some of these damn names. She really needs to expand the guide.

[@dacianaadamescu9526]

I love this book too. But vol 3 it isn't in my country yet :(

[@Bookables]

Blah that sucks!

[@autumnrosedearborn8923]

I definitely love ACOTAR series more then TOG, but I'm definitely invested in both series. I think the series will cross over at some point. I think the bone carver and weavers brother is trapped in the TOG world somehow.

[@Bookables]

oooh I hope we see the bone carver in tog now!

[@autumnrosedearborn8923]

Well not the bone carver because he died 😭😭😭😭 But yeah, I hope we see the brother, whoever he is.

[@jessicaholt7292]

Dying for Az, Lucien and Nessian to have their stories told ❤️

[@Bookables]

Yes!!!!!

[@Courtneylashawn]

will you be doing another acowar video with your friend like you did with empire of storms?

[@Bookables]

if she ever finishes the book! hopefully we will review the next throne of glass book together!

[@isabellaogbolumani3068]

Personally, I don't really care who the next book is about b/c I love the series so much, but my only request is that Feyre and Rhys make appearances. Also... I want to know what becomes of Tamlin...

[@Bookables]

we need to know all of the things!!!

[@maricruz3544]

isabella ogbolumani same i need to know what happens to Tamlin. I know a lot didn't like him but I did.

[@supercreativename1359]

I wish I could say I loved this book, but I didn't, at all. I finished it Thursday, and since then, I've just gotten more disappointed about it. Everything was so convenient, Maas would totally gloss over major plot points but then spend 6 pages of something completely insignificant to the story, and Rhys, Rhys who I adored in the ACOMAF totally lost his edge... The sex scenes...ugh, I like smut, but these were so awkward. I have so much more to say but then I just get angry, so I'll stop here. Ive always loved how Maas would show, not tell in her writing, but in the book it was all tell and no show. I gave this a 3 star, but I'm not even sure it deserved that.

[@Bookables]

Im sorry you didnt like it but understand! I was a little disappointed myself with the ending! Everything just happened to perfectly whihc was not realistic at all!

[@shee6241]

booking momma I totally agree! I wish the ending wasn't so convenient it frustrated me so much! Also I felt that Rhys and Feyre didn't have that much chemistry which sucked as they were everything in the last one :(

[@AllThingsEquilateral]

You totally make me want to finish this series. I read the first one, but thought it was a little meh. I liked the worldbuilding, but found the characters a little flat.

[@Bookables]

The 2nd one is SO WORTH IT!

[@jackiesliterarycorner]

Yes, second one is so worth it.

[@jenniferc8783]

Nope,can't watch this yet!Lol,will come back later after I have read it.

[@Bookables]

please do! :-)

[@nylpurfi9896]

I get how you feel about the whole mor and az thing but I know how hard it is to admit the fact that you have no interest in the person in correlation to your sexual orientation. It's so difficult especially when you're not ready to admit your S.O. ... but I wished that it was established early in the book though so that sarah had the chance to give that info weight because even with the fact that this isn't the last book it just feels too much like there are a lot floating around. Yeah

[@nea7547]

after reading the book 3 days later still not trusting Jurian. i have trust issues hahahaha

[@Bookables]

No he's def shady!

[@bellanovela7742]

for some reason I kept picturing the Lord of the winter court "Killion" as Anderson Cooper LOL

[@Bookables]

ha!

[@marianaparra2262]

Just finished it yesterday and I loved it

[@Bookables]

Yay!

[@cveta27]

You are my favorite booktuber and I need some advice from you regarding this book. Few days ago I finished A court of mist and fury and than I accidentally spoiled myself by looking some fan art and I found out Feyre is going to die in this third book. I was so disappointed and sad because a court of mist and fury was my favorite book of this year. I don't get why she needed to die and why writers do that. I really wanted them to have a happy ending. I am really not sure if i should read this third book now because I know the ending and every time I open that book I am just sad because of the ending. So what would be your advice, is it worth reading to see what actually happened or em I going to get more pissed of. Thank you for your channel and amazing work :)

[@Bookables]

trust me love your going to want to read the third book. trust me you think things will happen and they dont...it's amazing. read it! :-)

[@cveta27]

@@Bookables Omg thank you for your fast response! Than I am definitely gonna read it! Lots of love and hugs

[@melehtaenvinyatar8123]

nightcore? what song

[@nea7547]

the "speaking of Mor" bit was funny haha

[@Bookables]

lol yay!

[@nea7547]

oh hell no. if there will be a love triangle between Lucien, Az, and Elain I would be mad. I love Lucien too much. agree with the mating bond comment!

[@Bookables]

yes!!

[@frostkiss2]

SJM has a thing for mating bonds in every of her stories hahahahaha

[@karenkoutsoumbaris6308]

You look beautiful today, thankyou for your review I enjoyed it

[@Bookables]

Thanks! I tried to look 'night courtish' haha!

[@corey5914]

[@Bookables]

it wasnt a character but a reference to a sexual in general
