I love the way you are pitching the book! I feel like you’re gossiping to us, but at the same time not.

[@nolalewis4819]

So I loved this video ! "Just like everyone, I fell for The Darkling" 😂😂 Every single person who read the book. 😂

[@NeverlandBookClub]

How could you not!? Ultimate bad boy 😎

[@joshdavidprado]

Woah just came across your channel and it’s so awesome!! new favorite booktuber fo’ sho. keep it up!!!

[@NeverlandBookClub]

Why thank you dear viewer 🥲✨

[@isabellalorduy2985]

it’s like 4 days left, i’m so so so excited. i finished Crooked Kingdom last night and it was soooooo good. i think i’d be a heartrender because that’s just what i’m like also for the giveaway, i read the books online but i want to give them to my friend so she can read them and understand the show.

[@NeverlandBookClub]

How very thoughtful! Books are always the greatest of gifts ☺️🎁

[@ayanmohamed3241]

I just recently found your channel and I love itttt!!

Thank you! Welcome 🙏🏽

I came here because I saw it on Instagram. But dammit I am staying here, I love everything about this video!

[@NeverlandBookClub]

Welcome! ✨ glad you stayed! Haha

[@argentavis_flight]

Really hoping Netflix doesn't drop the ball and cancel like with so many other shows they so. Also your set is BOMB.

[@NeverlandBookClub]

I have high hopes for the show. Especially knowing they may blend the two stories together. We’ll have to wait and seeee!

[@stevenramirez8007]

Saw on instagram and immediately watched, followed and subscribed, the setup/aesthetic of this video is beautiful!!❤️❤️ I've heard so many good things about this series and I'm hype to read it

[@stacysaxe331]

I haven't read the series yet, and wasn't really sure if I wanted to, but your summary/description of the story makes it sounds like something that I could read (even with the predictability & commonality).

[@NeverlandBookClub]

Despite my issues with the story, it was a very fun read. I hope you enjoy ☺️

[@kailynmiles2695]

wait, because i just came across your channel and i love it so much. also, your setup is absolutely gorgeous omg 🥲

[@yuusuga]

Love your way of reviewing these books. Oddly, as a avid reader, I hadn't even heard of these books until just recently thanks to the adds for the Netflix series.

[@NeverlandBookClub]

I had noticed them on tiktok and Instagram but never to the extend they are now with the show coming out. Excited to see what becomes of it!!

[@yuusuga]

@@NeverlandBookClub I'm very interested if the series is better than the books. Sadly most of the time that's not the case.

[@NeverlandBookClub]

Right. I do have hope though since it seems they’re mixing the two series together in the show. Shadow and Bone with Six of Crows

[@yuusuga]

@@NeverlandBookClub Oh, I hope so too. I was kinda disappointed about the books when I watched your review of them. But so many hated the 50 Shades books. I actually liked them better than the movies. I know, I know, they're just "cheap fan fiction", but I actually liked them, no matter how badly written they were. But my main genres are horror and mysteries (mainly "cozy mysteries").

[@shaniahdavis5792]

the fact that I've found a book KZbin channel that I love............CRAZYYYY

[@NeverlandBookClub]

Aww 🥲 glad to have you here!

[@katies7979]

Just finished shadow and bone today and I totally agree with u being annoyed with Alina running away! At that point in time she didn’t even know for sure if Baghra was telling the truth. Also, it annoyed me that for the most of the book, she doesn’t carve her own path and make her own decisions or decide her own destiny. For the first half of the book, she’s following the Darkling’s guidance, reading Grisha theory, going to combat classes, etc. Then for the last half, she’s following Mal’s lead as they try to run away then hunt for the stag. She’s always just >>put>creating>deciding

[@NeverlandBookClub]

Welcome! And yes, very well said. I’m happy to know I’m not alone in my gripes! I wanted her to BE the main character of her own story so many times but it always felt like she had her strings pulled by someone else in every occasion....

[@elizabethburton5358]

I’m glad I read six of crows before shadow and bone. The trilogy was a little like book candy... not exactly high substance, but enjoyable. I enjoyed the next 2 duologies much more. But I’m still excited to see everything come to life on Netflix! I’m pretty sure id be an etherealki. I love storms and lightning and the ocean!

[@marianleon-santana9803]

OH MY GOD, you are hilarious. I really liked this video and I’m going to keep on watching you. I am super glad I found this channel. Keep going girl!!

[@rowenaalmendral7038]

[@jocelynvelezalarcon2581]

I want to read the physical books rather than the ebook. I plan on renewing my Netflix once I finished the book series. 😌

[@alkaeliades8857]

I am currently speed reading the first book (through my local library) because I at least want some background before hopping into the show☺️

[@anisargsyan5525]

i agree!! i dont think it makes sense how alina is just starting to respond to mal’s touch like that, i mean theyve been friends since a young age also your room is gorgeous!!!

[@NeverlandBookClub]

Thank you! And yes, PLOT HOLE!!

[@FaceLilo]

Thanks for this! I was debating if I should watch the series and then read or read and then watch. I normally do the latter but with Game of Thrones I watched everything and I’m now reading. I will have to read this one first I think!

[@NeverlandBookClub]

I do love reading before watching but sometimes it is a treat to revisit the characters you already have a face and voice for in a written version ☺️

[@marianbelen7388]

i’m so glad I found this vid, i really wanna to finish the shadow and bone series

I'm on the last book in the Shadow and Bone trilogy 🤩 I'm so ready to read the Six of Crows dulogy, hopefully before the show premieres on Netflix! Loved this video!

[@caitlinnelson9709]

Aahhhh!!!! A shout out por moi?! 😭😭😭 you are an absolute gem and I adore you. I talk about your videos with my family and friends all the time! I look forward to more interactions between us!! You're stuck with me now!! Muahaha! I keed. Also, Shadow and Bone fell flat for me too. The writing was ok but the story was wholly predictable and I was like ok, this was good thank you. No more. It has its audience and I am not part of it. I cant join your giveaway. I live in Canada but what an awesome giveaway!

[@NeverlandBookClub]

I’m glad to know my thoughts, as unpopular as they may be, are not alone 😅 Bardugo is undoubtedly a talented writer, and the world was well built. The story was just too juvenile. P.S. I am happy to be stuck with you ✨

[@torigen5303]

I’m so excited to see how they’re going to go forward with the Netflix Adaptation because I feel like there’s so much to cover. I also really hope they don’t cancel it

[@jlcilia]

I have only read the first book so I skipped to the end! Lol thanks for the giveaway!

[@courtneymotes2250]

Love your take on this! Your channel is so entertaining 😍

[@ashleysbookhaven]

I’ve been recently really getting into reading lately. This series is something that I have been wanting to start since I found out about the Netflix show and that it’s connected to the six of crows books (another set of books I’ve really been wanting to read). The cover of the books are so pretty!

[@beatricegee1951]

so excited yet nervous to watch! it looks AMAZING from what they've released so far!!!

[@kasuScene]

Six of Crows is a fantasy gem, I kind of regret not reading the shadow and bone trilogy initially! The show looks so cool though, Netflix really outdid itself. Fans usually get disappointed by book movie/tv show adaptations but everyone’s squeaking by this adaptation! I can’t wait to see the crows in the show once I finish reading this trilogy!

[@NeverlandBookClub]

All I’ll say is - Jesper is my favorite. Both in the show and in the books. The actor that plays him is spot on. Loving it.

[@shakiraj.6712]

I'm excited to read these books!

[@bravebananai]

Like you, I was let down by the 3rd books ending, but I really enjoyed the Grishaverse. I can't wait for the show and am nervous to see how they're going to combine both S&B and SoC. If I had a choice, I would be a healer or squaller. Fingers crossed for the giveaway 🤞😊

[@Candy-xk6gg]

i did not like it.. i have many many complains i didnt like the mal and alina relationship, they didnt have much chemistry and i feel like mal was a boring character. I hated how they were both introduced, how mal only started having feelings for alina when he saw her being so happy with darkling, looking health and good and when she was "owned by someone else". Before that he would ignore her half the time and flirt with other girlies the other half. His confession after days and days of basically no talking was so dry and empty I couldnt feel anything for him or for them two so i kept waiting for them to realize that they should just stay friends. I thought it was dumb how he had to be the sacrifice but then he comes back'!?!' Darklings death yep almost thew the book out of the window like this series was so hyped and i was so excited to read it and felt very disappointed. Such an interesting idea and it started well but it just kept getting worse and worse for me i almost dropped it like 5 times. The best part for me was when it was finally OVER! Now the question is should i read six crows bc i am scared i am gonna be as disappointed

[@jacky.yyyy_]

Hmmmm why I should win.... 'tapping chin'... Hmmmm... The love of diving into worlds and the thrill of adventure. Because unlike some I do no dip my toe in, but plunge into the deep dark end of the pool where the mysteries below my floundering feet keeps me breathlessly waiting for more and my mind forever intrigued by the mysterious depths of a world yet unseen...cough... 'Ranting ends' I like to read tooooo much.😉 Any new adventure is worth the time if you only give it... A chance to shine in the light.

I truly hope you'll consider me to win the box set. I really love box sets. And I haven't been in a library in over a year!!! I need books!! I have 3 valid library cards from 3 different libraries in 3 different states. And the box set contains 3 different books. Coincidence? I think not. It's practically pre-destined. I may or may not have 3 different personalities...but I digress.

Hmm. Interesting perspective. What about Genya? I didn’t love Alina that much either but I did like her relationship with Genya ✨

[@Manx174]

@@NeverlandBookClub I felt that relationship only got real in the last book. Before that she seemed to look down on her just because Genya made a mistake

Fair enough. Perhaps it was also out of pity from what happened to Genya after she left...
