Are we all going to forget the hilarious period (a.k.a. the menstruation cycle) moment where Chaol freaks out and then the wonderful awkward yet hilarious conversation with Dorian?

[@elig.velasco3594]

Not me it was one of my favorite scenes of the book

[@sunnyshy4242]

I pretty much couldn't stop myself laughing xD

[@Ladicorn423]

+D.N. K. That was definitely one of my favorite scenes in the book.

[@GirlySimmerNatasha]

Yep

[@kerdunne3422]

This is why Dorian was the best, he was there to make her laugh when she felt shitty.

[@luci9625]

[@lynntils]

SPOILERS!!!! My favorite scene was when Celaena was having those cramps, and then Chaol walks in and he's rambling about something and the whole time she's just like "Chaol. Chaol. Chaol!" and then she throws up on the floor. I laughed so hard

That awkward moment when everyone is either team Dorian or Chaol, and I'm just here like: *cough* *cough* "Team Sam..." after reading the Assassin's Blade. Yeah...

[@ceciliathorne6846]

[@jordanhoffman7097]

Cecilia Thorne R.I.P. .....oh wait to soon?

[@monsterhigh1012001]

When I finished the book, there was a pronunciations guide. Here is what it says Celeana Sardothien: Sell-lay-nah Sar-doth-ee-en Chaol Westfall: Kay-all West-fall Dorian Havilliard: Door-ee-en Have-ill-yard Nehemia Ytger: Neh-heem-ee-ah Yet-gerre Kaltain Rompier: Cal-tane Rom-pee-ay Arobynn Hamel: Ar-row-behn Heh-mel Elentiya: El-en-tee-yah Eyllwe: Eel-way Erilea: Err-rel-yah Terrasen: Ter-ra-sen Adarlen: Ah-dar-len Endoveir: En-doe-vee-er Orynth: Or-inth Anielle: An-nie-el Melisande: Mell-iss-sand Wendlyn: Wend-lin Wyrd: word Wyrdmarks: word-marks These are the actual pronunciations of the a few of the words in the book.

[@purplehazee90]

+kat girl thank you for this! :)

[@monsterhigh1012001]

+sarah_says no problem

[@thediamondkid4320]

I got some of the pronouncations correct, like Nehemia because I have a friend(but my friend's a boy) named Nehemiah with an 'h'. Elentiya, Dorian and Chaol were names I got correct. Endovier, Terrasen, Adarlan and Rifthold too. You know, when I heard that Calaculla was worse than Endovier, I said that since Calaculla sounds like Calculus, which is maths and I don't really like maths, I came to the conclusion that it was no coincidence that Sarah J. Maas named it that. I just lmao when thinking of that.

[@sharonwong4540]

Am i the only person here who ships Celaena with Chaol?

[@chantallam7542]

THAT'S BECAUSE YOU HAVEN'T READ THE THIRD BOOK YET!!! :P Just wait... Unless you will still ship this, I dunno, but maybe.

I'm such a team Chaol. I just love the relationship between them. First camarads than friends and in the end lovers.

[@mild3891]

The entire book I was hoping Celeana was Fae, so when Elena said blood ties, I almost screamed with joy!

[@pearlisaac1381]

Grace Elisabeth Me toooooo!!!!!

[@Aliieist]

I am definitely Team Chaol. Dorian seems like he's more interested in the attention Celeana gives him. Plus, Chaol clearly genuinely cares for her more. Although she hasn't told him much about her past, he still seems to feel empathy for her. And that scene, while she was fighting Cain, and he reached her hand on one side of the white line and she reached her hand on the other? That was beautiful, man. And the "Thank you for making my freedom mean something", like yoooooo. The review you give makes it seem like Dorian was the only guy who did cute things. Not to mention, Chaol gave her a ring. And the hug at the end? And he always teases her, too. And I just, I love him so much omg. #teamchaol

[@sydpen5317]

I'm going to be honest I don't care who Celeana ends up with because I love Chaol and Dorian, I can't decide. Everybody is either on Team Chaol or Team Dorian and I'm just over here like.....I am so torn. I love Celeana and Chaol but I also love Celeana and Dorian. I just don't know and who ever she chooses I think I will be happy, but I definitly don't want Dorian or Chaol to be broken hearted, I want them to both be happy. I'm scared that it might not end out that way though. None of them can die, Sarah J. Maas.

YAS team Chaol all the way! I REALLY hope she ends up with him!

[@bambamtastic8826]

abookishperspective ME!!! TEAM CHAOL FOR LYFEE!!

[@bellathorneanzendaya]

Best thing about this book: when Celaena had her period and Chaol didn't get the hint and he freaked about when she threw up hahaha :D

[@beatricecabana9140]

This whole Chaol and Dorian business reminds me too much of Will and Jem, I CAN'T. (I'm sorry if you haven't read The Infernal Devices) Though everyone seems to be team Chaol, for some reason I find myself seriously attracted to Dorian... I guess it's bc he reminds of my fave book boys.... The gorgeousness, the sracastis humor, the arrogance, THE DADDY ISSUES. ALWAYS THE GODDAMN DADDY ISSUES. but yeah, it makes sense that Celaena would end up with Chaol since he seems to understand her more than Dorian ever will....... BUT TEAM DORIAN..... (I'm sorry) and tbh, I don't really care who she ends up with... ;)

[@asmaaa5750]

Omg same it sooooo reminds me of The Infernal devices with dorian as will and stuff. But i just cant choose i keep changing my mind its like tid all over again.just kill me!

[@themawkwardpotatoes]

I literally was thinking the same thing...I'm team Dorian all the way, he sort of reminds me of Will with the sarcastic humour and love for books. I think Chaol is a great person for Celaena to have as a friend, but not a love interest. -Claire

[@asmaaa5750]

Well yh but im just very conflicted lyk i ship her with both. Is that weird?!

[@19mfl95]

I kept thinking the same thing! I'm team Dorian. Chaol is a good guy, but Dorian just seems so much better for Celaena :)

[@IchibanOjousama]

Beatrice Cabana Reminds me of Dimitri and Adrian...

[@Theofficialfanboy1492]

Team Caelena because I have no idea who I'm rooting for.

[@Theofficialfanboy1492]

Yup. I'm starting it this weekend! Just gotta finish Assassin's Blade!

[@juliaxoxo7563]

im rewatching before koa

[@MsKrestel]

Team Chaol. Definitely. That was my decision before I was halfway through the book

[@beatricevilladelgado9024]

That part when Celaena was talking with Chaol on the way to the castle was when I started shipping them

[@shainagibson1479]

same.

[@manasakaguchi]

Rulzie Boo that moment when Celaena had that awkward conversation with Chaol about her period is when I stopped.... and then Chaol was supporting her at the final duel is when I started shipping them again💕💕

[@lunamg]

ME TOO

[@mathildecloutier2456]

Team Chaol. I feel like it's The Selection all over again: the prince or the guard? But I feel like this time it WILL be different than other stories. I mean, look at the Shatter me series, The Selection or even Hunger Games: all of the time, the guy that's... nicer? Most talkative?, gets the girl, but I feel like Chaol really has chances this time? Anyways, I like (LOVE) Dorian as well, he's amazing??!

[@fatimazahir4197]

Mathilde Cloutier Argh I thought only I got the Selection feel, but in so much better way!

[@samarkhoury2260]

[@adelinasevers8475]

I thought I was the only one that imagines Dorian as a blonde, idek why I do but when the book clarified that he had dark hair I was like NOPENOPENOPE HE IS BLONDE. END OF STORY.

[@weem97]

me too! I feel like they could bond much more better than Cel and Dorian

[@jaberlaura99]

Was I the only one that noticed that the writer didn't explain the part when Celaena met Cain in that hallway and he ran away looking all scared? Btw, I was hoping you were on team Chaol :(

[@LAKnightAuthor]

I did wonder about that. But if he couldn't handle the magic, that would explain it.

[@teatimewitht6937]

Team Chaol.

[@katerinam1020]

team choal all the way!!!!

[@LAKnightAuthor]

Katherine Mitsi Not in TOG but in later books it's reveal Chaol is kind of racist...against Calaena's race...so that's not gonna work out.

[@jaberlaura99]

+Cathryn Martin Damn I still need to read the third book :( I kind of predicted that but I was hoping that he would be supporting of her 'race'

[@kerdunne3422]

Chritine should really read the Assassin's Blade. It really explains a lot of Celaena's behavior and Sam *oh god* my heart still hurts.

[@Amzers13]

I'M TEAM CHAOL FOR LIFE

[@Tiotsa]

Chaol irritated me in the beginning, but as Celaena got to know him and he opened up a bit, I LOVED him! He's strong, serious, attractive, smart, um, not a prince who sits around all day, and so much more! I don't know, Dorian just doesn't do it for me. He's that type of guy who, like, has the looks and the charm and is sensitive, and that's just that. I feel like Celaena likes him just because he's attractive, but her and Chaol have a more deep relationship, one that goes beyond looks.

[@nhuphi4273]

Dude I was reminded of the selection series because of the love triangle. I mean, the characters aren't ANYTHING like the ones in the selection, but their positions. AND DORIAN'S BLACK HAIR AND BLUE EYES=WILL HERONDALE D:

[@nhuphi4273]

need to add something, Dorian seems similar to Aspyn's character... and Chaol more like Maxon. Lol... Their positions are completely switched.

[@Ketsy16]

DORIAN REMINDED ME OF WILL TOO OMG

[@thejumboshrimps4071]

YES YES YES YES WILL IS MY IDOL

[@samanthabyrnes6608]

My theory: she's the princess of Terrasen. Her parents were the king and queen. That's why she has the distant connections to royalty and why all the fey/ magical things are drawn to her.

[@Dragoonthegreat]

Did u read all the books ?

[@tasnia104]

I think I'm Team Chaol, although I love the Dorian banter and moments. But I just think seeing Chaol open up and see Celaena do the same, and read about them gaining trust and all....I think there's lots of potential. I've only read Throne of Glass so far, however.

[@XxCelestiquexX]

Thank Gods I'm not alone! I'm Team Dorian as well, even after reading the 2nd book. Can't wait for your Crown Of Midnight book talk! Also, did you know that the third book already has a name? It's Heir of Fire.

[@mthatasophia6739]

Oh God, I thought I was the only one that was Team Dorian in this world ! He's so perfect and he loves her so much

[@XxCelestiquexX]

Thata Sophia Exactly!

[@Jellafy]

I feel like after Crown of Midnight I'm all alone on Isle Dorian. I'm not sure if Dorian is actually the better partner for Celaena, but his character is so much more interesting and I can't wait for his further character development. Have fun with CoM :)

[@hannahdulay3116]

I think Chaol is better than Dorian tbh

[@shebaqueenalvarado4054]

OH MY GOSH THANK YOU FINALLYY

[@dynesteefields4396]

Need I even say it? Team Chaol. Chaol is a more serious character who sees strategy and uses caution, while also having sarcastic fun. Dorian likes every girl he meets, and Celaena would just be another story for him to tell had he not actually fallen in love with her. Also, when he gave Celaena the puppy, it was becaue she saved it from him killing it. Aside from the fun banter the two share, I'd much rather have the next book focus on Chaol more.

[@GretchenV95]

If she doesn't end up with Chaol the author better put in either a really good love interest or story line to help me forget lol.

[@lissinha04]

I'm team Chaol since the begining haha

[@livdanielle]

how far we have come! it’s so funny seeing how people thought at the very beginning how the series would go

[@thebookaholic5267]

TEAM DORIANNNNNNNN!!!!!!

[@DieTributeVonPane100]

Year Hight 5 ;D

[@SuperSweeeeeeeeeeeee]

Oh yeah, definitely

[@beatricevilladelgado9024]

No just no :(

[@imsoryimsokool]

I think that Chaol might be endgame. When he was kneeling beside her in the ring, she was like "his face was all that mattered." and whatnot. And then when he hugged her, she was like "I could stay like this forever." And when she said, "I can't be with a prince" Chaol noticed the inflection on the word prince. And going along with your Cinderella point, when Celaena showed up at the ball, CHAOL was the one who went and took her hand. I think the twist is that she DOESN'T end up with the prince. Her feelings, throughout the entire book, were pretty stiff toward the prince. She wanted to kiss him, was physically very attracted to him, thought he was kind and intelligent. But she only ever admitted to "caring" for him, and when she broke it off, there wasn't an ounce of sadness. She was smiling. And in the end, she walked off arm linked with Chaol. I like Dorian better as well, so i hope I'm wrong, I want them together so badly. But I really think Chaol will be endgame.

[@kimberleyreads2792]

I just read this one and I'm currently reading the second one. I actually didn't notice the 'love triangle' spoiler thing on the back of the book until I was nearly finished the book and I thought it was so stupid that they put that on the back of the book as like the main thing that happens! I think that the love triangle is kind of a sub-plot, and the competition and all of the other stuff which happens is way more important. Not everything is about love triangles!

[@annaclaire7776]

I lived the part when she was on her period and Chaol comes in like are you okay? And she's all like I'm sick. He's like oh do you need help and finally she's just like DUDE IM ON MY PERIOD LEAVE ME.

[@moonie4951]

I just got Empire of Storms in the mail but it's been a while since I read the series so I'm watching all of Christine's Throne of Glass booktalks to remind me what happened. I'M SO EXCITED!!

[@anabelscorner]

Reading Crown of Midnight right now! LOVE THAT YOU'RE READING THIS SERIES. I can't wait until the hardcover of the 5 prequel novellas comes out! I'm dying to read them!!

[@phyllisfeng9794]

Team chaol!!!!

[@chinsanpigs]

Her name is actually pronounced Sell-lay-nah; there's a pronunciation guide at the end of The throne of glass

[@kaitlynsteffen5664]

OMG. Thank you so much for always recommending this series. It's been on my list to read for a while. I felt like now that it's summer, I could really get into a longer series. I started this book earlier today, and had to finish it before I go to bed. Even from the first time we met Dorian, I was rooting for him. I'm such a sucker for dark hair and blue eyes, a sarcastic sense of humor, and love interests teasing each other, so to me they're perfect together. I just can't see chaol as anything more than a friend for celaena. Im so happy I started this series.

[@VeelouC]

Thank god you are team Dorian because I'm team Dorian too and I always want to have the same opinion as you

[@luisalikeyou]

team chaol all the way

[@globbity]

I saw this vid when you posted it and since then, this series has literally changed how I look at other stories. IF IT WASN'T FOR YOU CHRISTINE I WOULDN' T HAVE FOUND MY FAV SERIES OF ALL TIME!

[@j.rochellesoifua4343]

I love watching your videos! I have rewatched and rewatched all of your videos! after I read a book, I look for your book talk!!!

[@_reveux]

Team Dorian. For sure. I really hope it ends how you say it will. Because that would be amazing :3

[@_reveux]

Update: (SPOILERS FOR HOF) I finished Heir of Fire about a week or so ago and OMG YOUR PREDICTIONS WERE ON POINT!! With her becoming Queen and what not. I can't wait for the rest of the stuff you mentioned to come true XD

[@juliabialik7931]

what if Chaol will reclaim his rights to the throne of Anielle and than Celaena could marry him and save the people! I think that that is how it is going to end, it would not have been mentioned if it wasn't for that! Or she will have a choice to be the queen of Adarlan or Anielle and she will marry the one she loves! It will be interesting

[@joanaramacciotti4615]

Ohhhh i like that!! I got kind of sad when Christine mentioned the whole queen thing because of Dorian, but now that you've said that my hopes are high again! Thankss

[@juliabialik7931]

your welcome hahah : )

[@aharrypotterfan]

I think I told you before, I love you cause I feel you become as passionate as me when you read a story you like.I really am with you on this, team Dorian till the end!They are meant to be,at least in my head!And I love when you randomly through Harry Potter recommendations in your videos :D

[@santaclaus4119]

Watching your review to jog my memory before I read the next book. Love your energy!

[@leizqueen]

i like both of them, but personally I'm on team chaol (:

[@garndt]

How she was pronouncing Arobyyn 😂❤️

[@audiquero]

This book helped me get out of my reading slump after soooo many years! I jus loved it! So happy there will be moooooore books! 😍

[@greta2545]

(About Sam) “I’m glad he’s dead, I’m not gonna lie.” Yeah, remember those words as you read The Assassins Blade. 😭

[@czchrissa]

Team Chaol!

[@skylarnguyen9356]

TEAM CHAOL!!! 💕

[@nikkiej.5875]

I just finished this book today and I really liked it. I didn't expect that Cain was the one who killed the Champions by using the differential and he consumed all of their power to beat Celaena. Their last fight though was intense. I'm glad he died at the end though. Some of my favorite characters though so far are Chaol, Nehemiah, and Celaena. Their great characters. I need the second book right now. 😊

[@archivedandnoted]

i can't wait for your crown of midnight book talk now! XD chaol westfall, royal captain of the guard. **sigh** he is my favorite. i do really love dorian though, BUT CHAOL. it's just the best series ever..well my favorite series haha i'm biased. the novellas are being released all in one in a hardcover version in march so I'm waiting to read till that's released.

[@RachelTaylorBooksUndone]

I was kind of team Dorian...but man...when I read Crown of Midnight, I LOVE CHAOL! But then I feel for Dorian. I don't know. WHY IS THIS SO HARD?! I also loved her relationship with Nehemia!

[@alymcvan7136]

I liked this video as soon as Christine mentioned Reign. that show kicks butt over all other shows in my opinion. I'm OBSESSED!

[@amyelizabeth1783]

Can I just say how constantly spot on your opinions on books are :)
