personally, harry potter was a type of book that needed to stay the same...it was based off of 7; 7 years at hogwarts, 7 parts of voldemort’s soul; the “magic 7” (the actors), the 7 weasleys, it was all based off of 7 and their was no reason for the 8th book it was really just a money grab.

I've never read anything by Sarah J, Maas, but people always tell me to read them because they're feminist. And when I ask people how they're feminist, everyone just says that it has badass female characters. And I mean, this whole badass female character thing isn't feminism, because it's all about making women strong in a very masculine, patriarchal idea of strength. So having "badass female characters" isn't enough to truly make a book feminist
@claudiac53316 жыл бұрын
AceOfBooks I wouldn’t categorise ToG as feminist but ACOTAR is in my opinion, don’t know if you’ve read it but the relationships in it are totally different from ToG. And I feel like ACOTAR is so much better than ToG in so many aspects, though some people say that there are way too many sex scenes but i didn’t really mind it in the books because overall they’re very good. The relationship between Feyre and Rhysand is so different from those in ToG.
@aceofbooks72426 жыл бұрын
I haven't read ACOTAR but some of the reviews I've seen of it say that there are problematic relationships, and like sexual assault and stuff like that. I'm interested to hear your perspective. What makes them feminist?
@claudiac53316 жыл бұрын
AceOfBooks I want to explain it to you but I feel like I might spoil the book for you so I’ll don’t get too much into details. It’s true that there is one problematic relationship but it’s not going to stay that way, so Feyre (the main character) got out of that toxic relationship and went into a really healthy relationship with someone who truly loved her and not only wanted to possess her. As why it is feminist, first Feyre really evolved throughout the books she stands ups for herself and she doesn’t rely on a man nor does she lets someone take decisions for her and that’s really something I like and appreciated about this book and I thought that was something to highlight, and yes she was in that problematic relationship but then she got with someone who truly respected her and treated her as an equal, never belittled her and always respected her choices, I really think that their relationship is beautiful. And there are some parts of the books that I especially like that truly represent that. The main reason why I think this book is feminist is her relationship with Rhysand. Of course this is only my opinion and I hope you’ll give acotar a try because it a book I truly enjoyed reading. As someone who is used to seeing possessive and downright obsessive man characters in books, acotar was really a breath of fresh air for me and made me realise that the way relationships were portrayed in certain books that I’ve read were just wrong and not romantic at all as it is portrayed to be. There’s so much more about he characters and their relationships with one another so I’ll just let you discover it.
@aceofbooks72426 жыл бұрын
See, I'm not trying to argue because I haven't read the book, but I've seen multiple reviews where people explicitly say that Rhysand physically hurts Feyre in the first book. I also hesitate to call a book feminist just because the main character is your typical "badass chick" who stands up for herself and doesn't need a man. That's not feminism, that individualistic bullshit. Feminism is about standing up for other women (and other marginalised groups) and taking action against unjust expectations, laws, norms etc (basically smashing the patriarchy). Too often I hear "she stands up for herself and makes her own decisions, therefore feminism" you're setting the bar waaaay too low.
@claudiac53316 жыл бұрын
AceOfBooks Maybe I’m setting the bar too low and I’m actually trying to work on that so if you have any feminist books recommendation then I’m open to anything. But this is what I received and felt from that book, and maybe I categorised it wrongly by calling it feminist, but I’m saying it again and you’re probably getting tired of me repeating it again 😅 but i really appreciated the relationship between Rhysand and Feyre in the way that they are equal as persons and neither of the two is overpowering or controlling the other and that’s why I said the book is feminist even though that now after looking back at it I shouldn’t have categorised it as feminist. Besides that, there are positive and negatives reviews about every book and it’s normal though I really don’t recall Rhysand abusing Feyre in any way maybe you confused him with Tamlin. I really think that you should try to read the book and form your opinion about it instead of basing it on reviews because everyone’s opinion is different. And if after reading it you still don’t like it then I’ll respect your opinion not everyone can like the book, I just recommended it for all the things I’ve said before and because it’s a really nice book that I think is worth the “hype”.

Well Meyer left out stuff which is why publishing professionals said her editors should have been fired. In the Twilight guide, she goes into more detail on imprinting, when the wolf imprints on someone who is an infant the love they have for them is like a brother. When they are ages 5-17 that brotherly love is best friends. Once the imprint is of consenting age their friendship turns to love. Renesmee is half human and has the same chromosome make up as Jake. They imprint to make stronger wolves. Jake and Nessie's children will be vampire-wolf hybirds and be very powerful for the pack.

I also love the series, but I'm kinda annoyed that SPOILER no one important for Aelin died in the final book. It feels like Manon is the main character in the end because she lost the Thirteen (I cried sooo much!) and Gavriel's death just didn't do it for me. I think Sarah J Maas should've killed Fenrys off (he isn't in a relationship so that wouldn't have a HUGE effect but it would still hurt Aelin deeply) not because I don't like him but because I think it would work out well
@baileyann073 жыл бұрын
@@kage3069 Spoilers I totally understand why you think that, and I finished the series not too long again, but Aelin had lost so many people throughout her journey in the book series, but the one thing she didn’t lose was who she was and the scars that had shown all she’s been through. In Kingdom of Ash she doesn’t lose anyone important other than herself basically. She lost her scars and everything she was, and was prepared to die for them all. She also lost her magic (mostly) right after she finally started liking herself with it and it itself. The other characters had experienced loss before, sure, but not to the heartbreaking degree that Aelin had, with a few exceptions. I think Kingdom of Ash showed other characters finally understanding the torment Aelin had went through her whole life. Also, Fenrys dying, I think, would have been too far because he was the only way Aelin could comprehend the horrors she had faced in Maeve’s grasp. It just wouldn’t have been fair to do that to the characters. Thank you, sorry it is so long I just finished reading the series and I have a lot of pent up opinions about it!

**Spoilers!** I didn’t like how at the end of the series, the other characters and couples sorta got shoved to the side and Aelin and Rowan took the absolute spotlight for their happy ever after. I totally get that they deserve more pages then the other characters but I wanted them to at least have a couple pages to see them finally being happy and settled (Chaol and Yrene’s child being born, Lorcan and Elide going to their home, Lysandra and Aedion going to their new home..) and I feel that some things were not resolved. Like what happened to Dorian and his family? The glass castle is gone, adarlan was in ruins.. And Nox! He didn’t even meet Aelin again. I was disappointed as I felt like so many details were left unresolved that it didn’t feel like a proper ending for anyone else but Aelin. Besides that I still LOVED the series lol.

Honestly I haven’t read Me Before You but I loved the movie and wanna read the book. I liked the message because it is very realistic. When someone is paralyzed and loses everything that was important to them, it’s natural they will fall into depression. He dedicated his life to sports and the suddenly everything he dedicated his life to was over. It’s completely understandable that he would want to end his life. If I had that happen to me I would make the same decision tbh. I liked the dynamic of her trying to show him the the value of life and that life was bigger than his disability and I liked that it didn’t have an expected ending. It didn’t end the way I thought it would and I liked that it wasn’t super predictable. That’s just my opinion on it.

It's been awhile since I have read the book and watched the movie but I loved the book, not quite the movie. I agree that the message is not for everyone, the topic euthanasia has always been controversial. With that being said, I loved how the book was able to depict and provide different point of view of the topic and one that is generally considered problematic. In terms of Will's choice at the end, many of the characters in book did in fact disapproved it, but I love how the book was able to show that at the end of the day, it is Will's choice and he was able to make that choice on his own. I don't know, personally I like how the book tackled a problematic issue, providing different view point of the issue. I would say, this is a book that people should go in open minded, but at the end of the day, it is a topic that have a very divided opinions therefore the book may likely not click with everyone.

I kind of disagree, bc a lot of characters have toxic traits but are still rather likeable, and have at least some redeeming qualities. I wouldn't say Jacob was just a toxic character all around. He was flawed like anyone else and came off as pushy sometimes- but he was a kid who was trying to steer Bella away from the Cullens, thinking that would keep her "safe." I think he had decent intentions, (despite being overly persistent in pursuing her in New Moon.) Unless there's something I'm completely missing? Idk, I haven't read the series in quite some time so feel free to correct me.

Reading this, I thought it was progressing really fast and unrealistically, and that gives it a this fanfiction-y feel. But this is meant to be played on a stage, and then it makes a lot more sense. A theatre play has to progress a lot faster, the dialogue won't sound as awkward anymore and even the jokes will fit better.. You can't review it the same way you would any other book, it's not really meant to be read. I didn't enjoy reading this and don't really consider it the "eighth book" of the series either, but I can imagine that it would work a lot better when actually played by stage actors.

It starts a very important narrative and the fact that you so vehemently oppose its story just proves that it did its job.

Before I say everything I respect your opinion and I hope you respect mine. Here we go: Me Before You, literally his whole reason for not wanting to live was because he used to be adventurous and wild and used to be able to do able body things. When that's stripped away from someone it does make life hard. He wasn't born disabled or disabled during childhood, he was disabled during adulthood. So his entire "living life to the fullest" view was taken from him and now he believes there is no hope. It's called depression. *ending spoiler* Sure some may not commit suicide, but he felt in that moment that that was what would make his life better. Your whole "it isn't really how people are" is not true, nothing is original which means that has happened in life. Everything else though, I agree with the rest of the books but not Me Before You.

The only thing I'll say in defense of Cursed Child is that I had the real privilege of seeing it live last year with the original cast (I hadn't read it before), and those actors really made the lines work. Scorpius was hands down incredible, and he had some iffy lines to work with. What would have been "eh" if I just read it worked with him acting it. Also, the visuals are stunning. But then, it is a play, and not a book. After seeing it, I insisted my family not read it first until we were all in the same room and could act it all out. Way more fun.

I haven't read Me Before You, so I can't comment about the writting, but I think you interpreted that book wrong. That story wasn't about a quadriplegic man, it was about a man with a depression. A depression brought by his condition, yes. But the main point of his issues were not that he was quadriplegic, but that he was quadriplegic and couldn't handle it. If it was just a question of him accepting his condition, then having Louisa accepting him the way he was would be enough. But no, he couldn't accept it. And other people who have also suffered with crippling depression can back me up on this: no matter how much everyone tells you that you're happy or you tell youself that you'rd happy, you still feel miserable. And you would still trade/end your life in a heartbeat even if they told you you won the lotery. I applaud the author for making such an original and reality injected story. A story that feels real and hurts to watch for the psychological sobriety that it has and the taboo it represents. I seriously recommend that you reconsider it :)

Rosie King although I respect that Will suffered from depression, I think that what people forget is that , however the book dresses it up, he committed suicide. And I truly believe that the reason people don't really have a problem with that is because that they don't place any value on life as a disabled person. I find this is often how disabled people are perceived- as not really living, and it means that they will often not get the help they need when suffering from depression. Although I respect everyone has their own opinion, I am also conscious of the fact the misrepresentation disabled people face in the media greatly affects their treatment- in society and in a medical aspect.

Nina Miller I loved your theory/thoughts. I had never really thought of that or in that way. It does make sense what you are saying, and I can only say that I hope somehow people open their eyes to that fact and work to solve that problem. I don't know how they flourished his suicide in the book but I do hope that it will shed some light on the issue

"Me before you" is one of the books I really dislike. Will was depressed because he used to a certain lifestyle and for him to live just meant to be active - to do sports, to work, to have sex etc. instead of adjusting to the situation and living with it, he chose to give up - because now he needed people's help and became dependent - which is a really humbling experience by itself, but Will's pride and ego couldn't take it. And don't even get me started on this Cinderella crap with Louisa and especially the story when she was raped... This book makes me angry. Sorry(

Tavros Nitram I'm pretty sure most people imagine them as people that look mostly like them. Even tho I have detailed description of the character in the book my mind can't and won't imagine it with different face fitures and different face lines except from people I usually see (not people I know but people in my country, like how most of them look like, something in common) I just can't. And I think most people think the same way I do. Even if I try hard to imagine a character differently, one picture I imagined first time I read about that character, it will always stay the same. Also I don't like political propaganda and polotical correctness and feminisam and any of that cancer inside the books I read because most of the time they always blame white people, and you know I don't like people hatin on me when they don't know what kind of life I had. And all this political correctness and feminisam is hypoctitical, and they deal with small stuff that only bothers them and no one else, when no one even recognized the fact that there are more serious things we should focus our time and energy on, then to fight with someone because a strnager didn't call you the right pronoun.

Nina Jędrzejczak No, because imprinting is about the best genetic match to carry on the wolf blood. As his daughter would not be that, he would not imprint on her. However, with the potential for Bella's child being the best match gone, if Imprinting is flexible, I believe he would have fully imprinted on Bella.

I completely disagree with you about "me before you". You're not okay with Will's decision and that is completely okay, but the book wasn't a guide at all and the message was not that every disabled person is unhappy. This whole story is based on Will's character. He was very active and had so much fun in his life and after the accident he just had to change his life completely and was forced to live it against all of his character traits. So I think that you did not really get the message of this book.

I could bicker about a lot of things in the series I don’t like, but the way the story of the trilogy is told is attractive and intriguing for me at least.

I love Throne of Glass but I do believe you made some fair points about the series, the romances I feel occasionally focus too much on the lust rather than building the emotional attachment, as for the mating bond there are some definite faults there too. So I respect your opinion. I do love this series, the world building is fantastic and most of the characters are really interesting including the antagonists, I also love the foreshadowing - so the story intrigues me. That and Sarah J Maas's writing style is amazing. But like I said, I completely respect your opinion and even agree to some extent.

For throne of glass, I actually didnt really like the book from the start. And I really tried , bc I felt like it was a story that should have captivated me. My problem with it was actually the main character. Everyone (including herself) spoke so highly of her "badass" skills at fight, with knives, etc. that i was expecting an actually expert. I clearly was asking for too much. But honestly, every time there was a situation in which the character had ample opportunity to show off her skills, she would do one of three things: fail and not live up to her reputation, complain and basically retreat, or worse yet get saved by someone else and claim she could have done it herself. In conclusion, her reputation was all talk and no action. That, above all else, irritated me to the point i could not continue on to the second book. If you dont believe me, read the first book again and keep a tally of what she (or other ppl) says she can do and when she actually does it. I wanted a badass assassin, instead i got a pampered sissy princess in a dress. I dont mean to offend fans but thats how i feel: cheated.

I think the author wanted to make a badass character cause that's trendy nowadays, but she didn't wanna make her unlikable or bad. celaena sardothien, the most notorious assassin, yet all she does is pet puppies and read books.

I for sure know what you mean but if you read the rest of the series (or if you already have) I believe the author does that on purpose. Aelin has to hide her abilities in the first book so she can do what she needs to do. She slaughters and kills at least 20 men in one part of the series with no mercy. As the book goes on and as she said in the video, Queen of Shadows throws a lot at you and some of it was confusing and had no development behind it, I personally feel like Aelin and Rowan were a tiny bit rushed. They hate each other then they battle together and then it's the biggest romance in the series. Aelin definitely as the series goes on lets out her wits and brutality. Also at the start of the series she's still more immauture then at the end of the series and the reason being all of the trauma she went through. TOG is one of my favorite series and always will be so if you haven't read it in full I reccomend giving it a chance.

When she said she could easily take down the six or so guards with her hands tied is when I had enough of her. I'm still reading the book but not because I like her, because I like the world.
