vlog| 🦌 reading the Throne of Glass series in one week... (and now I need therapy) spoiler free!

[@gheriel]

i'm not usually a fantasy book type gal but this just convinced me to start. THE WHOLE SERIES IS IN THE CART!!!

[@iseee]

Sameee

[@zi.ntle__]

sammeeeee

[@madisonsylura825]

Literally I'm about to buy the first book in the series I NEED TO KNOW WHAT THE HYPE IS ABOUT

[@adauu]

RIGHTTTT

[@woo3524]

me too

[@kelseyreeree1]

I 100% resonated with your beginning clip talking about how harsh the world is and how fiction is just such a saving grace for some of us. I've always felt people found it weird how much I care about fictional characters and stories, so it's nice to hear someone talking about that. Even children's stories like Paddington and Lyle, Lyle, Crocodile and Matilda. These stories bring me so much comfort and I actually feel the the characters are friends in a way. Some people find that delusional, and I understand that it's not based in reality, but the comfort it brings is real, and that's what matters most. So, thank you. I really enjoyed this vlog, by the way! You had me cracking up! 😂

[@abi_flora]

Nooo those tears were so real Maya, I haven't read this series but I read "this is were it ends" and I was crying like an atrocious toddler

[@rykb02]

“atrocious toddler” is sending me 😭😭

[@alexandramiehe3437]

not me crying again at the same spots you're crying because the pain was so real.. i can't wait to read this series again! Honestly a masterpiece and nothing will ever top it.

[@PreciousM_]

I love the raw and authentic nature of your vlogs this keeps it so relatable and binge worthy❤

[@nutmeg2spicy]

Omfg, two hours, that's insanity. Mama Maya feeding us WELL💗

[@mayabeatriz]

💃💃💃

[@DiaryofAllisonNicole]

Seriously! 😂

[@dalasheartbreak]

i love how she talks to us, "you guys are gonna die, i need to get your charger" like i love her, she treats us like her children and im here for everything

[@keleayacampbell6281]

Maya Maya Maya girl I understand how passionate you were about this series and I resonated with you but the DRAMA & LAUGHS you gave was Oscar worthy babes❤

[@mayabeatriz]

😂😂😂

[@odailiapearce5574]

This was me reading this series 2 years ago. The writing, the plot twists, the world building, the character development and just everything. It’s still my favourite fantasy series to this dayyyy and to see you experience it felt assuring in a way. But yeahhh the emotional turmoil was reallllll during this vlog.

[@JaneDoe-fv8ie]

Chapters 89 & 90 of Kingdom of Ash had me full blown sobbing

[@michewilliams7191]

everyone clap cause maya finally finished the throne of glass series👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

[@kayl11688]

As a 34 yr old who squealed over Harry Potter, Ella Enchanted, Mortal Engines and even Twilight (not the movies 🙄) don’t lose this excitement…adult life be lifing and as a new mom I cherish the days I could curl up with a book

[@reesewilliams8170]

Thank you maya for being vulnerable with is! I get why you are feeling the way you are! I feel the same way about anime and books, it really allows you a way to escape from the pressures of reality. And especially with books because you are reading the details of what the characters endure and it's easy to put yourself in their shoes and it really just takes you away. You tell yourself just one chapter and then 3 hours later your in tears!!!! Love you maya and 2 hours still isn't enough!!!!

[@S.M.Owens_]

I've watched so many of these throne of glass vlogs because I can never experience reading this series for the first time again and I love watching people experience it for their first time. But most of them do not get the brutal, sweet, beautiful agony and heaviness of this series or experience it the same way I did on such an emotional level. You are the first person who's experience mirrored mine and you just get it. This is my favourite series ever, and I can't even describe how it rips you apart into confetti just to piece you back together again in the most epically beautiful way. Thank you for doing this video and thank you for showing your real, unfiltered experience of it because watching you go through the roller coaster of this series was the closest I have ever gotten to experiencing this series for the first time again.

[@nameless2485]

I completely understand 😅. I’ve read books that made me feel so many emotions at the same time and forgetting it’s not real.

[@hxneyofthepoppies]

I literally live for your long blogs- whenever I get my knotless braids done you’re the first person I look for!

[@aaliyah8949]

I just finished Fourth Wing and it didn’t disappoint! Now I have to read the Throne of Glass series because of you. 😂❤

[@LauraRenTaler]

I remember seven years ago when I read this series for the first time (keep in mind not all of the books were out yet). I remember not having anyone to talk to about this series. Eventually, I got my mom to read it, and even she ended up loving it just as much. We both have tattoos inspired by the series now. All of this is to say that it has been amazing to see the fandom expand since then and now I have so many people who GET it when I say that this series is literally the best thing I have ever read.

[@JessMyers]

I love this level of raw and realness

[@mayabeatriz]

🤎🤎

[@ardabasakgz]

i just finished the series and i absolutely understand every emotion you're going through, i hope you got the chance to read acotar because there is a crossover which in a way saves aelin and i SOBBED for like 40 minutes over that part it KILLED MEEEE

[@lauramorrison3885]

I have just finished the tandem read! The trauma of EoS took me 2 days to process! Sarah you really did that girl ❤

[@finnsaffelsipes]

i have been in a huuuge reading slump and then when i started watching your channel i remembered how fun reading can be. like i felt so bad because i was LAUGHING while you were crying jsut because its so amazing realizing how affected we are by BOOKS and the characters in them. love love love witnessing empathy like that. anyways i started reading fantasy because of you and im having so much fun hehehe

[@segiitaff6421]

this was so entertaining to watch eventhough i’ve never read these books

[@abigailfrantz]

this was honestly not dramatic and EXACTLY how i reacted exactly an hour ago as i was finishing kingdom of ash…we feel you girl YOU ARE NOT ALONE I AM WITH YOU‼️‼️‼️‼️

[@dajuannak]

love when you post long vlogs. now i’m definitely going to have to read the throne of glass series.

[@mayabeatriz]

you have to read it for sure!

[@sydnie2826]

Girl, I feel this so much. I finished Kingdom of Ash last weekend and I’m not sure I’ll ever recover from this! You’re not alone!!

[@visualdiaryny]

The first 10 seconds have me SCREAMING 😭😭😭😭

[@mayabeatriz]

😂😂😂

[@_lulumiki]

[@allaboutlyn1851]

[@mayabeatriz]

🤎🤎

[@jaydas8976]

Throne of glass is one of my favorite fantasy series, I haven’t finished the whole series yet but I love the series. I’m so happy you read it ❤

[@pix_7989]

I started watching this video the day it was posted, but watching you cry really broke my heart. I know, it’s over a book, but as a reader myself, some of those scenes just really take you out! Anyway, this vlog makes me REALLY wanna get back into the Throne of Glass series, and reading in general. Love you so much Maya!!

[@christonmariee]

Okayyy this just made me want to get the whole series😭 but the 32:27 but the sad music behind the crying has me deaddd

[@lightdove7]

Girl same 😭 I was about to comment the same thing 😂❤

[@dedea0909]

Maya the energy in your videos is top tier!! Thanks for uploading!!

[@ClaudiaGonzalez-tx1yf]

That speech at the beginning made me cry SO HARD STOP

[@RaulMartinez-in6ny]

I am obsessed with your videos and seeing this very raw side is comforting in a lot of ways. Thank you for being yourself and for posting these long videos! Because TRUST I WILL WATCH THIS ENTIRE VIDEO!

[@iseee]

Now this is a reading vlog…my emotions throughout was like😭☺️😨🫣🥹

[@tricksterjai09]

[@immanuellapeter-akor1970]

I started this series right before quarantine started and I devoured it so fast. Absolutely love Dorian!!

[@Breanna3206]

I am so happy I found this video! I am so scared to read EOS and TOD now but also sooooooo excited!! Best review ever lol

[@Myasimagination]

I just really started enjoying my time and I really agree man reading is such agreat escape from the expectations and the feeling to need to be someone or make people happy

[@sh3nyan]

WAIT STOP I LOVE UR ENERGY

[@alyssalupin1265]

Don’t feel bad about the dramatics because technically our brains/ our subconscious can’t tell the difference between what is real and what is imaginary so what you’re feeling is completely valid also, I was laughing during most of it simply because I could completely understand were you’re coming from and everything your feeling because that’s how I feel about books, Mangas manwha’s, animes and TV shows I get exactly how you were getting so I’m so glad to see someone elsefeeling these feeling. Loved the video ❤❤❤❤

[@Ravinroscoe]

I’m gonna be honest…. First video I’ve seen of yours. I paused maybe 5 seconds in already acting the same way I do while reading and knew I was staying for this whole movie:) second pause was at 4:20 getting ready to be absolutely ready to binge this series

[@nellz.Tv05]

Mayas reactions literally remind me of me when I'm reading a book 😭😭😭😭😭

[@shaylahill-k3q]

i just watched every second of this video, and i loved it. i’m so dramatic as well, so i knew i would cry with you, and i haven’t even read any of these books

[@haylesaswiftie1989]

I just finished koa and ive been coming back to this video throughout the series, when i tell you i have not stoped bawling after koa. This series has thoroughly destroyed me, and i will never heal

[@woo3524]

[@iseee]

Omgsss 2 hours yesss!!!!!! From the intro I can’t wait to watch 😭😭

[@mayabeatriz]

[@grff_]

The reading hibernation is so real every time i start a book i go on lockdown otherwise i can't focus

[@Burn143]

I fully understand you sis, this world can be a lot so fantasy really allows every and anything. It is the possibility of all possibilities. I'm always daydreaming, making stories and indulging into fantasy. It is a great escape.

[@baihelair]

[@mayabeatriz]

[@Kikihannie]

WAKE UP WORLD, MAYA IS HERE

[@k_ugandan]

Maya you have convinced me to read this series. I’ve been following along with all your previous vlogs about this series but this vlog for sure sold it. Even though I have no clue the full contents of the books I totally get the dramatics. Your level of dramatic is like my level of dramatic and it’s so comical and I can’t wait to start the series and look back at these vlogs and fully understand. I always look forward to your vlogs btw.

[@k_ugandan]

@mayabeatriz. hey, how do I use telegram?

[@tiphainemvelleolle]

a two hours long movie???? what a blessing!

[@danih.5088]

One thing imma do is cry, so i feel you!! So very real

[@zariataylor4571]

We love u Maya!!!❤❤❤

[@mayabeatriz]

luv you too!

[@sh3nyan]

In the intro I can't relate because I have lived through so much unimaginable trauma in my life and feeling so misunderstood since I was like 3 or 4 years old and I suffered through multiple suicide attempts since the age of 9 but I COULD relate to the part where u started tearing up talking abt writing cuz me too, tears welled in my eyes. because I also must publish an autobiography or memoir before I die because I don't, what was all my suffering for? There are messages I wish I could tell the world but so much of this world is so fast paced. Within a page, it is the most calming, freeing place in the world. No one is rushing me it's just me talking in a blank room and everything's being recorded. And that's what writing is like. It's my everything.

[@fatinha112]

maya already made my day

[@mayabeatriz]

🤎🤎

[@itsmeoyaa]

i literally just finished kingdom of ash last night and now crying my eyes out watching videos abt the series and watching your reaction LIKE GIRLLLL I FEEL YOU MY HEART HURTS SO MUCH while reading kingdom of ash, i thought sjm might as well smack my face with the thickass book. it will be hurt less than reading the book

[@samanthafaith7211]

I’m usual not a fantasy fan but I understand the attachment to characters in a world you wish was real. I love that you are so vulnerable with us about they way that fantasy books have saved you, and the hold they have on you. Love this, and love you Maya! 🫶🏾 you are truly inspiring for someone how got back into reading only a couple of years ago, you are truly amazing, beautiful, and wonderful! ❤️

[@aaliyahjohnson9734]

My excitement when I saw you posted love all your videos 😊😊❤

[@razzledazzle453]

I’m about to start Crown of Midnight and watching your reactions makes me excited and also scared to continue with the series 😭 I read the Assassin’s Blade first and was sobbing at the ending. I know it only gets harder emotionally as you keep reading 😅

[@nicolecharnel]

Bruh, your 'author note' in the being.....😢😢😢Same! Thank you Maya!!

[@praiseoluka5027]
