Kingdom of Ash RANT REVIEW (with spoilers)

After sticking with the series for so long, here's a salty review for why I found Kingdom of Ash to be a huge disappointment! This is just my own opinion on the series so I hope no one gets offended by it!

In my opinion EoS really hinted at a big face-off between Aelin & Maeve + Dorian & Erawan. This would have made sense to me because Maeve and Aelin had beef and Erawan had a history with the Havilliards- plus, he and the valg practically raised Dorian. Lol nnnnope, ultimately Erawan is like, “who?? I don’t know her” about Dorian and is just as irrationally awestruck by Aelin of the Wildfire as EVERYONE else and was gunning for her and Yrene in the end. I was so disappointed and confused.

I am so glad I stopped after queen of shadows! I love watching ToG rant reviews! 😂

Seems like there's a few of them!

I couldn’t finish it. It was just too dammed long! And NOTHING was happening.

3:40 about the “perfect pairs” point, it irritates me greatly. she had characters that deserved an epic romance (Choal, Lysandra, Astrein, and others) and she just forced love on them, yrene is a lovely character but she was literally written just for Choal’s development (just like Nehemia’s 💀 was written for Aelin’s development). Forced pairs like manon and Dorian, lysandra and aedion, took space. We could’ve explored interesting pairings like Choal and Dorian (explains the reason Choal followed devotedly to keep Dorian safe/rightful king: blind love of course), any witch pairings would have been great, elide and manon (even though I actually really liked elide and lorcan- until I didn’t). We could’ve had a blooming romance for lysandra finding the love she declared she wanted with any minor existing character no problem. Instead we were treated with abusive/ignorant males treating the women love interests as garbage, calling them out on it, and then the female characters declare their love for them. (More ranting below) I would’ve rather Aedion be treated like Choal was treated by Aelin. I had always liked Choal and it took many fans to see his (existing) great traits only after tower of dawn. The misunderstanding and Aelin’s wild blaming and then bickering when met again was uncalled for. (I get it Maas, you love Rowan so we have to hate Choal?) but Aedion hates lysandra for being just as obedient/loyal to Aelin as he is and then calls her useless and doesn’t care for her until she was about to 💀… rude. Lysandra should’ve left him and leaving him to his “primal” fae temper tantrums to fester (because he is written badly, to not be a changed man and make hot headed decisions)

6:40 I was also upset Choal didn’t 💀. Again I loved Choal so dearly and I felt like after him being treated awfully and written to be a bitter lost petty person I was like, at least give him this because obviously Maas hated him. But know kept alive for plot and stuck with a forced ( almost natural) romance with by Maas’ writing is the second most powerful character behind Dorian??? (I don’t mind her being so, it just felt haphazardly put together)

I completely agree. It sent me into a 2 month reading slump I'm still trying to get out of. I'm gutted about the gods and Elena thing. It left me with that feeling of "what was the point in reading all of this?". The only thing I liked about Aelin was taken away from her 😭😭😭. I love this video xx

[@Happyindulgencebooks]

Thanks so much for watching! It was such a frustrating read omg

[@ajourneytobooks4519]

I have never read this and never will cause holy crap, that's way too many books for me. I still need to read Harry Potter and already a 7 book series so I'm good. Great video 👍

[@Happyindulgencebooks]

Oh my gosh, it's a long commitment for something you're not sure if you'll like haha! Harry Potter is enjoyable though.

[@ocgniep_khrys5954]

I am living for this.

[@Happyindulgencebooks]

Thank you!
