Legends & Lattes | Travis Baldree | MY NEGATIVE OPINION 🔥

[@MattsFantasyBookReviews]

I cannot express enough how much I enjoy it when you put out a video of a book you dislike. The sheer disgust and disappointment that just reeks off you feeds my soul. Keep it real as always Juan!

🤣🤣🤣

[@maxharo7125]

Damn. You can't catch a break from the hate you get for not liking Sanderson, to Jade City, and the ones you're for sure gonna get for Legends and Lattes. But keep on going. Your rant videos are the reasons why I subscribe. Someone has to dish some critiques at these sacred cows and I'm glad it's you.

Loves Robin Hobb? Gives Sanderson the review it deserves? Not afraid to speak your mind on this book? You're my actual hero! Subscribed

[@christianbjorck816]

Found your channel after searching for any negative opinion of Sanderson. So glad I did! I loathed Mistborn so much that it felt fantastic to find someone else pointing out how atrocious that book is. I thought I was going insane after seeing all the raving reviews on BookTube and Goodreads. This seems like another stinker to avoid!

[@Christian-ut2sp]

Would you say lots of modern fantasy lacks a soul? A lot of these books are empty

[@zhyarjasim]

I actually found your channel through your review of the way of kings, when I read it all my friends were loving it and praising it whilst I didn't enjoy it as much as I wanted, I felt like surely I should like it since it's like the best 'modern' fantasy out there. Through your review I realized that yup I don't really like modern fantasy and I'm more into LOTR type of fantasy. I appreciate your brutal honesty if you like/hate something ^^

Aww, we would never want to throw rocks, one of our favourite Booktubers who always maintains honesty and transparency! I am rereading The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay by Michael Chabon. Liking it better this time around but I am not a comic book person at all so I think this book is going to go over my head a lot. Okay unpopular opinion time - ready? I never told you this but I actually didn't like Rainwilds or Fitz and the Fool. I thought the series should have ended at Tawny Man. Can we still be friends please? Oh and are you hating Gormenghast? No worries if you are, just had a friend find it very "okay but nothing great". The most important thing for me is we all love books and sometimes we hopefully find things to connect over. Like Luna Lovegood who is the best, amirite? Happy reading and fighting Krumple-Horned Snorkacks! 🤭

Thank you for saving me from a boring read!

[@hadeel_K]

I haven’t read it so I have no opinion on the book, however, despite the raving reviews I have no interest in reading it any time soon. Maybe in a few years, maybe never… I truly appreciate your honesty please don’t ever hold back from speaking your mind! The world would be boring if we all had the same opinions!! Love your videos Juan, my favourite Mexican KZbinr 😘

Fellow black coffee drinker here and I just wabt to show some support. 😅☕ 'Changeling' is one of the worst books I read last year. Come to think of it, it's the worst book I've read in the last 5-6 years. Never read Brandon Sanderson, he sounds meh to me and I have no wish to try any of his books. And I don't think I'll read 'Legends and Latte' either. Nice video!

😍

[@nodrarb140]

I love the simple premise of this book. Makes me want to open up my own book and coffee shop just like vin but unlike her I lack courage and action 😢

[@nikkivenable73]

How can a book titled, Legends and Lattes, have anything BUT a negative opinion? My daughter and I saw this at a bookstore yesterday and we both were like, huh? 😂

[@leopercara3477]

Hello, Juan. Your negative reviews are my favorite thing you do. If you want fantasy singletons here you go, but non of these are cozy, though: Silverlock by John Myers Myers (don't worry about the second book, it doesn't exists, it never happened) Little, Big by John Crowley Tigana by Guy Gavriel Kay The City & The City by China Miéville Gloriana by Michael Moorcock

[@The_Holly]

That is precisely how I feel about this book, you've just summed it up so well. I wanted to love it as it sounded like something for me but I didn't find it in the story, characters, writing style... Just no

[@Paromita_M]

5 minutes in...me wondering when does the rant start? 🤭 Harry Potter is lovely. Stand by that on rereads. I liked L&L a lot but its a very casual read. For a connoisseur, yeah, makes sense it was a miss. I hated The Changeling 😆. Nice singing but caffeinated Sir, where is the promised rant? 🤭 "The writing felt amateurish" - very fair point. It was a breezy read for me but I know for example my mom who is very particular about writing would not like it. This was too coy a rant for me. 🤣 Hope you find something really nice next, I am in a fantasy slump myself so I can't suggest anything. 🥺

[@Narrative_Ink]

You enjoy Gilmore Girls but complain about bad writing? Hmm not sure how I feel about that.

[@Emmareads15]

I hated it, it was so plain and boring, if you strip away what they are supposed to look like, nothing at all is happening and the characters are just in a cafe. It was just a whole lot of nothing for me.
