[@bookswithellen]

love u too🥹 welcome!!

[@capricornish8128]

i'm even surprised you've finished god of malice because i just can't. in the series, i skipped the first three books and actually liked god of ruin but god of fury is just a so-so. and also, once upon a broken heart disappointed me. i've been anticipating jack's story but it's just not for me. btw, just discovered your channel and totally loved it.

[@bookswithellen]

honestly i had to force myself through it, ended up finishing it purely because i was vlogging it. glad that you agree about once upon a broken heart. and im glad you like my channel!! thank you for being here🤍

[@stephaniewest88]

[@madelynnleah23]

Rory miller can’t be beat

[@bookswithellen]

literal love of my life

[@maylinw8925]

Well, I really enjoyed reading pestilence and war… it was something new for me and that made it interesting. 🤔

[@bookswithellen]

i’m glad you liked it!! really wish i had🥲 was so excited and the covers are so gorgeous!!

[@videocandy]

Oh no I thought you liked iron flame! Was going to start the series soon - did something change your opinion on it?

[@bookswithellen]

as i looked back on it i realised how confusing it actually was, because i originally blamed myself for not understanding it🥲 but realistically it was the writing itself that was confusing and it wasn’t just me who struggled. i also don’t agree with some of rebecca yarros’ views and actions over the last few months so I am just not interested in supporting her anymore

[@bookswithellen]

you know it🫡

[@tatianaharris3943]

Wow 150 books!!!!! Impressive

[@bookswithellen]

thank you!!

[@kaitlynkleven]

Daaaang really hating on Rebecca Yarros 😂😂 I haven’t gotten into forth wing or iron flame yet but I was so excited now I’m worried 😩 girl I’ve came to realize you’re a huge romance girlie. like the soft giddy romance not the dark romance 😂 you’re like “NOPE , AWFUL , HORRIBLE”

[@kaitlynkleven]

Also I’m currently reading happy place currently !! I’ve heard so so much I had to read it

[@bookswithellen]

yeah i didn’t love iron flame and i really don’t like some of her views that she’s expressed so im over her🫣 also yeah HAHAHA i really don’t think im much of a dark romance girlie😭

[@user-eg8pq5bm2p]

Can someone tell me why Iron Flame is so... hated (with no spoilers please🙏) ? They just published it in my country and I preordered it. I am really surprised because Fourth Wing was 5 stars for me. 🤔

[@bookswithellen]

hey!! i think a lot of people didn’t like it as it was very confusing and not as well written as the first book. not a lot happened, but what did happen, wasn’t properly explained. so i think a lot of people were lost!! also rebecca yarros as a person has said some controversial things lately. i hope that helps!! 🫶🏻

[@user-eg8pq5bm2p]

Oh, I see. I've been seeing a lot of negative reviews and low ratings for Iron Flame lately and to be honest that scared me a little bit 😃 Thank you so much for responding ❤ I'm new here and I'm really loving your content 🤗
