reading throne of glass so you don't have to - Tandem Read (part 2) plot recap

[@godderogatory4067]

Girl when I tell you I GASPED, your output is unhinged but I am absolutely not complaining

[@fantasyfixations]

haha yeah i'm a little unhinged when it comes to my schedules 😅 hope you enjoy!!

[@katieclarke2100]

Sarah girl I need you to come back to book reviews I am obsessed with how you recap everything - and I REALLY appreciate how concerned you are at all times for Dorian’s happiness and well-being because SAME !!!!

[@therync8207]

7:07 I was freaking out when I read this because SJM lays in "oh yeah these things are really protective of their babies" and after Lysandra kills the sea-wyverns the even bigger shapes zoom in and you realize those WERE the babies and Aelin is screaming "SWIM! SWIIIIMMMM!!!" and it's one of my core ToG memories.

[@zpurplex]

The witcher as Rowan is iconic!

[@fantasyfixations]

haha yes!!!

[@mirandau370]

That’s exactly how I pictured Rowan. It’s perfect

[@breathevolution]

I enjoy watching these more than the actual books themselves 🤣 thank you for creating such fun videos!

[@fantasyfixations]

haha thank you!!! so glad you enjoyed :)

[@stephaniespain9849]

Me too! I’m dreading this video series is almost over.

[@stephaniespain9849]

Thank you so much for all the time and care you put into making all of these videos! I have loved them all!! ❤

[@common_kin]

I was literally checking ur channel today for this AHH!!💞🫶

[@fantasyfixations]

aw omg hope you enjoyed!!

[@shelfaddiction]

Excellent! Thank you for this. The way you explained that epic ending of Empire of Storms brought back how sad and shocking it all was! Explaining these books together made Tower of Dawn a lot better. 😅 Now I don't need to reread these for a while.

[@fantasyfixations]

thanks for watching!! EOS is such a good finale I remember thinking there was no way KOA could top it (but it did lol) yes omg I can't imagine reading them separately I'm not strong enough to spend that much time alone with Kalechip lmao

[@therync8207]

Two beloved authors I throw at every recommendation request are: Danielle L Jensen, who has a few dual-PoV enemies-to-lovers (Dark Shores and The Bridge Kingdom are my specific recs). Melissa Caruso's two trilogies Swords & Fire and Rooks & Ruin (R&R takes place about a century after S&F and readers can really start with either one; the author did a great job of not spoiling the first trilogy while putting in a lot of easter eggs, but having the lore from the first trilogy ups the impact of the second).

[@doiconfuseyou]

I appreciate these videos SO MUCH. I read them in release order and it took me so long to read TOD that I was super confused when I started Kingdom of Ash. Thank you thank you for such a fun recap

[@necieau2700]

This is my second binge through of the playlist and it's better the second time around. I know who you're talking about!

[@fantasyfixations]

omg thank you!! so glad you're enjoying it :)

[@pinkygirlno]

I would love a recap on the From blood and ash series! It has given me a few eye roll moments, but also some hilarious ones too. I also may give it try and review it! You always look like you have such a fun time!

[@fantasyfixations]

oh dude you should!! one of my best friends really loves that series but i haven't been able to get into it myself. if i make videos on them tho ive got no choice but to finish 😂😂😂

[@chiefroo]

This sealed the deal that I can’t get enough of your content :) Never watched the shows you talk about but I’ll be diving into those videos

[@fantasyfixations]

aw dude thanks!! oooh I can't wait to see how you feel about TVD lol it's so unhinged!! and OUAT is so confusing my husband has given up on watching it twice, he never makes it past season 3 lmao

[@chiefroo]

Lol I remember when OUAT was so big on Tumblr, I think I tried to watch and maybe got through the first season? Not sure why I stopped but I know at one point I read through the entire wiki. Can't remember much from it now. @@fantasyfixations

[@pinkygirlno]

15:46 yeah it was kind of odd to me too. But I think maybe it was a plot device to make Rhys’s personality be seen as more accepting/“different from everyone else”? Because he was a lord of two courts but I think he was the only one that stood up for Mor. Then also makes the comment about if Feyre wanted to have a 3some or orgy with I think the summer lord and like Az, he would be down lol. So it felt like his courts weren’t accepting but the summer courts were? But Rhys was a person to change the status quo? Idk lol

[@amenir3267]

I think I like watching those amazing recaps more than reading or listening to audiobooks now 😁

[@LocuraAndante]

WEVE BEEN WAITINGGGGGG

[@fantasyfixations]

ahh enjoy!!!! ☺️

[@liatesta44]

these videos are so good it’s making me want to read these ginormous books

[@fantasyfixations]

you totally should!! its one of my top five favorite series' ever, I think about the characters and world all the time :)

[@BabarazziPhotos]

Great job!! You definitely helped me get through these books. 😊 May I suggest, Fourth Wing! 😁

[@chiefroo]

LOVE your videos and so stoked you’re going to do more on books!! I’ll have to brainstorm some suggestions - do you prefer books to make fun of or books you really like? You might like the Graceling books.

[@fantasyfixations]

I could do either!! I get nervous leaning into picking on things just because I would never want to hurt someone's feelings, but even in these books like cc3 I'm ready and willing to call out the nonsense lol I haven't heard of those but I will check them out!! the blood and ash books are on my list as well for possible videos. I didn't personally get invested in the first one but my best friend LOVES them so I'm thinking if i make videos on them I will have to finish them lol

[@chiefroo]

@@fantasyfixations Well I'm so excited for whatever you choose! Honestly listening to you recap things I've never read has been a fun time and I'd be down for more :)

[@catarinaloss6061]

Thank you! I want to read the last one and too much time passed since i read the other books. You‘re videos are exactly what i searched for

[@fantasyfixations]

aw you're welcome!! ☺️

[@TheDederocks99]

IVE BEEN WAITINGGG

[@fantasyfixations]

omg yay!! enjoy!! ☺️

[@lilyshadbolt29]

ive never read throne of glass before and ive only had nesryn and sartaq for one day but if anything happens to them im going to lose my mind

[@fantasyfixations]

you're telling me !!!!! they are top top top tier couple content dude absolutely precious in every single scene its amazing

[@haydenbeatty633]

[@fantasyfixations]

aw yay!! it's one i can imagine myself rereading every few years for sure!

[@aliciamalvenan5815]

Love this series, so glad I found ur channel! when is ur first part of kingdom of ash out becuase I need to know my girlll Aelin is ok 😭

[@fantasyfixations]

omg it actually just posted!!

[@nicolecook812]

Love your recaps!! Please please do the Poppy War or the Woven Kingdom trilogy’s 🤍🤍 much love

[@partyontheobjective]

all of your fan cast is spot on to me ;_; But especially Chris Pine bc i've been _pining_ after him for ever. 🥁

[@fantasyfixations]

hahaha you are killing me with your puns!! but thank you!! I tried really hard especially with the southern continent gang to find people that fit :)

[@trishaprehoda2421]

I think you should do CC3…because I cannot bring myself to read it again, and I know I’m going to need a refresher before CC4, which I know I’m going to read because, of course I am…

[@fantasyfixations]

i have a rant review/recap posted for CC3 specifically! :)

[@syd8229]

if you’re looking for future book ideas, i would die for a six of crows recap by you !!!!!

[@fantasyfixations]

oooh this is another good one !!! i'm afraid i'll get sad sense the show was cut but i know it would be worth it 🥹

[@bardic_grin]

Read The Locked Tomb series! The fourth book is supposed to come out this year.

[@fantasyfixations]

oh nice!! I'll check those out!!

[@katherinekerber2953]

would you consider doing the blood and ash/flesh and fire series?? i think you’d like it!

[@fantasyfixations]

that is what i'm leaning towards doing next!! i started the first book but couldn't get fully into it, but it's my bffs favorite series so i want to try again!!

[@UNCCCollegeGirl]

Hoooooney I’m hooooooome~

[@amimirs]

when you said your sonms were scratching I for a sedcond rlly thought u meant human children LOL

[@malyndaclark8407]

Girl I love your videos but I reaaally wish you would stop dropping ACOTAR spoilers! I just started ACOTAR after finishing Kingdom of Ash and I feel like I can't watch any more of these because after watching the KoA ones and the first part of the tandem read one I already almost know how ACOTAR will end. Maybe just a little spoiler warning please 😅❤

[@katarinakerestes]

you should so do the percy jackson series next since there’s a show now

[@fantasyfixations]

ohhh yes!! that would be a good one i haven't read of all of those books

[@ardentlyyearning]

for the series recos, what about the lunar chronicles series by marissa meyer (fairy tale retelling MCs) and shatter me series? 😁

[@fantasyfixations]

i've really been meaning to give marissa meyer a try!! i'll put these on the list :)

[@ardentlyyearning]

@@fantasyfixations btw i want to thank you for these TOG recap vids! Truly came in rescue holding my sanity as my work stress tf out of me 🥲🫶🏻

[@fantasyfixations]

aw dude thank you for watching!! i'm so glad they could bring you some joy!!

[@leeannabrown3091]

Your casting photos made this even better for me 😍🫶🏼 thank you so much. I didn’t want to read TOD at all honestly. I skimmed a bit of it and just got so antsy
