I have ALL of these books on my TBR and I can't wait to read ALL of them. And, like u said, we ALL have different views & opinions on whatever book we read as readers. So its OK if u don't fancy most of these books... Keep up the good work by the way...

By FAR the one I agree with you the most on is Magnus Chase.

I think the worst book sequel I've ever read was Magic Study by Maria V. Snyder, I gave the first book 5 stars and loved it so much, and then book 2 happened. I honestly have no idea if I'll continue, I think I'll just look at the first book as a standalone. And it's funny that you mention the Death Cure, The Maze Runner is my favorite book of all time and even I didn't like the finale.

I thought they were good books but I was a bit let down when I compared them to the earlier books in the series. The plots were scattered and in Scarlet I wanted it to be less romance. Magnus chase was good but also did not live up to my expectstions that I put upon it as I was super excited about the first. Allegiant let ne down because of the ending and I cried a lot because of the ending. It was a little easy to tell that Tris was going to die as she randomly started switching POV. Death Cure made me really sad and I didnt like the direction that the author decided to go in. Great points!

@@abenakisprinkling2866 Am I right in thinking that's the prequel? I've not read it but I can't help feeling if a series needs a prequel to explain it then it's not well written. Worth saying that I read up to half way through the death cure but was all questions, questions, questions and no answers - I felt unrewarded as a reader, strung along. Shame too because I enjoyed the first two books.

Probably the worst book I've ever read lmao. Characters were somehow even worse than they were in the first book, bland, forgettable and interchangeable. The whole book felt like a dragged out filler, for some reason everything that happened felt so unimportant in the long run. T h e l o v e t r i a n g l e. Thomas passed out like 20+ times aka cheap cliffhangers to keep us interested. The noseless cranks and lightbulb monsters (who were supposed to be scary I assume) were so humorously bad that it was just cringy. Nothing makes sense in this book, every little plotline is left hanging and is forgotten, no answers are ever given to anything. I'm so sorry if anyone likes this book, but it is without a doubt one of the most boring pieces of crap I've ever read. I tried to read the Death Cure, but dropped it like 20 minutes in, it was just so bad.

Allegiant Spoilers!!! When I saw Allegiant, my whole system curled. I threw that book so hard across my room I honestly thought I was going to break the wall XD So, I never really clicked with Tris? She was one of those characters for me that I tried forcing myself to love since she was the main character, but I just didnt live for her. Yes, she was a really good character, and yes she did amazing things, but..I just didnt click entirely with her, thus when she died, it pissed me off beyond belief, not because she died, but because of the effect it had not only on Tobias, but the entire story, and it made me so angry because it literally makes no fReAkIng sEnSe

I'mma be That Person and say that the reason I dropped Maze Runner was because you have that many boys shoved in a small space over a long period of time in a high tension and stress area and somehow.... they're all heterosexual. Which just??? Yeah. No. That was just unnecessary. I mean I didn't like the series as a whole, anyway, but that detail just bothered me because, let's be honest, it wouldn't be true!! ...Hi I'm hella queer and am sick of erasure for no reason.

I totally agree with you about scarlet, but city of fallen angels was my second favorite book in the series, it introduced most of my favorite characters, (R.I.P Jordan, you were to hot to die) and I loved reading from Simon's P.O.V and seeing him be the nerd he is and struggle with being a vampire, I don't think it needed to be as good as city of glass, cause it was introducing us to a whole new perspective for the rest of the series

Sometimes I feel the same about sequels when they fall a little or a lot flat. The secondary characters have to be enough to keep me going if it's more than 2 books. Sometimes the writing style...

Jesse, I totally get why you wouldn't love Scarlet and Wolf, especially if you're not into romances. I'm totally into the whole "Beauty and the Beast" thing, so Scarlet was my favorite book of the series. I typically can't stand it when the author pairs up EVERYONE in the series *cough* Falling Kingdoms *cough* but here it makes sense because they are based on fairy tales where the princess usually ends up with a prince type character. Love your videos and your positive attitude. Keep trucking!
