i've wanted to see a cruel prince adaptation ever since i first read the books (which. granted. wasn't that long ago) but the thought of guillermo del toro directing it hadn't even crossed my mind until now!! EXCELLENT idea; 10/10. tbh i kinda want a cruel prince adaptation to be animated--by cartoon saloon specifically (the studio who made wolfwalkers, song of the sea, etc). granted, their movies tend to be kids' movies, but i would LOVE to see their take on a darker fae story (and they do have a darker movie called the breadwinner)! like seriously, a cartoon saloon rendition of elfhame would be GORGEOUS. not to mention, the underwater scenes in song of the sea would make me VERY eager to see their take on certain scenes in the wicked king. anyway, that's just my two cents on a hypothetical folk of the air adaptation! great video; some of these books i'd love to check out!

[@icbsr3600]

The cruel Prince and also the entire folk of air series is my favorite ❤️ I need an adaption

[@orionsbelt25]

I LOVED the cruel prince so I'm so happy to see it in a high tier. It's a true enemies-to-lovers story (cardan and jude HATE each other at the start, it's so good), has a major focus on the politics of the fae, AND has a badass female protag while acknowledging that physical strength isn't the only way to stay strong and that actually it's not healthy to cope by killing people. I immediately went and bought both sequels after I finished it. Rewired my brain

[@nurelliesya2299]

throne of glass have a very badass female character.Look, I read cruel prince first and was obsessed with jude.But then I read throne of glass and aelin (the fmc or throne of glass) stole my heart and since then no other fmc could top her.She is a very complex fmc.She is a badass who could kill people with bare hands and have deadly fire powers but she also loves to wear dresses and jewelries, dance at balls, loves chocolates, reading books, playing music, and cry while listening to music and oh she just have so much personality and her duality is admirable.The way she is a badass warrior but at the same time has lots of feminine qualities is something rare in books

[@nurelliesya2299]

Throne of glass is also very diverse since its high fantasy.We have deadly witches that rides wyverns, we have deadly shapeshifters, we have assassins,fae and humans with magic.even healers play a huge role in this series.This series have lots of badass and strong characters and their teamwork and friendship is so endearing.Some of them are strong physically, some are strong with powers and some have no powers or strength at all but they contributes to the war with their intelligent and whatever support they could provide.This series is very dear to me because it shows that everyone contributes to something in the war.The war in this book is very emotional too😢

[@nurelliesya2299]

Throne of glass has a very great enemies to lovers too (aelin and rowan).They hated each other at first.aelin said real nasty thing to rowan and then rowan punched her in the face.They were both forced to train with each other and during the training, rowan goes really hard on her and they always fought till they are both bloodied.They really hated each other to say the least😂.The thing is, they were both at their lowest at the time.They were drowning in their trauma and loss, and both are just too broken inside.But given the forced proximity, their relationship grew and they both HELPED EACH OTHER TO HEAL AND WALKED OUT FROM THE DARKNESS TOGETHER.thats why aelin and rowan is top tier to me because they are enemies to lovers with depth and actual growth + they healed each other.Not the typical enemies turned to lovers purely because of lust+attraction+obsession

[@tsukii1119]

For people who haven't watched ancient magus bride... It's not about the monster falling in love with the girl. Rather it's about him discovering new emotions and feelings he never knew. People often misjudge by looking at the poster but he calls her his bride because in his mind his understanding of a bride is a female who lives with a man and the man cares for the female. In the manga it's clarified that he didn't love her in a romantic way (yet) cause he himself doesn't know what it is. It's also about the girl overcoming her trauma and forgiving people. They both learn from each other. It's really a heartwarming and beautiful anime tbh. I would recommend it because it feels like watching a journey of two people who learn from each other and accept eachother with their flaws.

[@annikawaii]

I second that. Please don’t judge manga and anime by their weird titles. Ancient Magus’ is absolutely not some kind of smut or weird monster f*ckery title on any level.

It was all tell don't show. It was not smart. There was no emotion or wisdom. I do not understand why people like it.

@@justwonder1404 Thanks! Your decision to keep watching is also valid because seeing the crows in live-action is great. Yeah, it was like, instead of improving the original story of S&B, they used the crows to distract from S&B's weaknesses and baited us SoC fans by referencing or adapting scenes from the books while forgetting why many people like the duology in the first place: build-up and slow burn. (I'm no Wesper fan but I enjoyed their development in the books and was so angry at how the show treated them.) They just threw scenes at us in hope of us overlooking their lazy writing -.- What's worst is that the casting is so effing perfect T__T

I am so hopelessly obsessed with them, it’s not even funny. Like, I think about them every single day, and the pain of not living in Ketterdam is real! I’ve binged Shadow and Bone solely for glimpses of my Crows and squealed like a maniac every time they appeared. I live off of fan edits, I read the book quotes over and over again, and I’m constantly looking for someone, anyone, to just gush about them with me. I don’t think my life will ever be the same after I read Six of Crows. Like, I’ve never been this obsessed with fictional characters before. The bar is set so high, I’m afraid I’ll never recover. Someone, please, just sit me down and talk about Crows, my Jesper, my sharpshooter!

I've read about half of Normal People and I just couldn't stand it anymore. I'm not a fan of how she doesn't use quotation marks so you have to double check if it actual dialogue. I understand that both characters aren't meant to be perfect but their lack of communication drove me nuts. I know that's how people are but it's infuriating to read. I also just wasn't invested. I got bored reading about their lives when they weren't together. I ended up not caring about the outcome of the story so I did not finish it

That throne of glass and acotar swap was interesting to me because while I greatly enjoyed my hate read of acotar it absolutely was a hate read. Throne of glass was just a fun "I know I am reading YA can't take this too seriously (except I hate you chaol)" sort of read. I think with throne of glass Sarah j Maas was still trying to be a fantasy author but by the time she started acotar she was just like "you guys are gonna buy any faerie smut I spew out"

[@flippanties]

I started reading ACOTAR last month out of morbid curiosity despite knowing I would hate I. I was right, I hated it, but in a "can't put this down" kind of way. Throne of Glass however seems so insanely generic to me that you could never convince me to read it. At least ACOTAR is hate-readable.

@@flippanties Sometimes I want to read something that doesn't require using my brain. Throne of Glass is perfect for that

[@lisaw.8382]

@@Apocalyptichist lmao you're gonna have a tough time understanding the series when you get to book 3 then buddy, good luck

[@Apocalyptichist]

@@lisaw.8382 I have read everything released in both acotar and throne of glass lol. both are pretty brainless imo, I just really hate acotar.

[@lisaw.8382]

@@Apocalyptichist ah then I think we have a different definitions of brainless, because the way Sarah connects all the books and characters in tog was, in my opinion, brilliant. There were a lot of details she put into her books that you only get when you read close enough, things that seem one way but turn out to be something else. And also I thought tog was an extremely powerful story because of Aelin. The character arc she goes through in all the books is just brilliant. I have never connected with a main character as much as I connected with her, mainly because she's so well written over the span of the 8 books. I truly cannot, for the life of me, see how throne of glass would be brainless.

[@elliessneakers]

my guilty pleasure is the throne of glass series. i definitely think it gets stronger as the series goes, but it is 100% exactly what people expect it to be. but it’s fun! 😂

[@svgstarlight]
