"Fourth Wing" was right to the deepest, darkest jail for me! I can't even begin!!! It was interesting to hear your opinions on everything. There is a new wave of readers that are beginning to notice an increasing change in the publishing industry. The term I hear going around is "fast fashion" but referring to books, I guess? Anyways, it's a noticeable difference where now there are on sight spelling errors, bad scenes, writing, character development, or even similar scenes from other books (near plagiarism), but to push out the book, it's overlooked. The stories aren't as deep, emotional or even remotely linking with the readers that wanted a GOOD story, and for those seeking that world-diving experience, they are struggling. For authors trying to put out a name, it's difficult with fast fashion books swarming social media. But anywhooos, thanks for another fantastic video, Hannah!

The prose, I think, is the only reason I was able to get through the book without putting it down. It is engaging and beautifully written- vividly so, and Yanighara’s vocabulary is top notch, along with the way she strings sentences together and embeds really good metaphors into the book. But the issue isn’t the writing- the issue is the content, the lack of research, the grotesque obsession with making Jude’s life as MISERABLE as possible, the gratuitous violence, the number of gay men that die for no reason, and mostly everyone in Jude’s life died except his parents and JB. You can clearly tell that the author hadn’t done research even before she’d admitted to it. I love violent books- I’ve read exquisite corpse- but this was excessive and unnecessary, and genuinely such a chore to get through some scenes where you can tell that the author just fucking hates Jude.

Agree with a lot of these. The only thing I will say is a lot of people who hate on HP and the Cursed Child forget that it's a play and that it's not really meant to be read. I haven't actually seen the play, but from what I've heard, the sets, the costumes, the special effects and actors really do make it a great show and the actual plot is the weakest thing about it. Does it add to the HP story? No. Do I consider it canon ? Also no, as it wasn't even written by JK Rowling. I feel like it's an addition to the franchise, like the Very Potter Musical, or even the Fantastic Beast Films. To enjoy for more magic but not part of the original series. I think we all mistook it for an 8th HP book which it isn't. I don't think it's enjoyable to read, but I do still want to see the play as it is supposed to be pretty cool, so I wouldn't say it was a cashgrab. For me anything that isn't the 7 books is separate. The movies, Fantastic Beasts, the play etc is just all bonus content to enjoy or not. I don't think it was necessary to publish the script though, same with the fantastic beasts script, apart from being a collectors item, not to be read.

Meanwhile, while youre wondering if youre ever going to get more substance on those two characters, the real main character is having to go through horrific and traumatizing events left and right FOR NO REASON.

[@rjrastapopoulos1595]

I just finished reading Verity. I feel cheated. I did not order a cheap porno. I want a refund. 😭

[@Annikidiary]

I think the only reason why I liked verity was because firstly it was in German, so it wasn’t in her original words and secondly I skipped the sex scenes

[@afriendwithfiction865]

I hated Thirteen Reasons Why when I read it back in 2007 or 2008, so I'm happy to see someone else feels the same after all of these years lol.

[@DanaLover]

As an OG lover of whole Twilight saga even to this day, I just wanna let everyone know that we exist LOL. Also, so many people view imprinting as something sexual, when it was heavily said that it isn't so chill people. Also, what is this pro-life propaganda some people see? Because Bella was the mother and she never had doubts - she wanted the baby. Do u think that since it was unexpected pregnancy she should have aborted it? Lemme tell you from experience, that majority of pregnancies come out as big surprises and majority keep the baby and are happy about it.

[@entrenchpodhost]

I don’t usually give 1 star as an empathetic writer, but the two I reserved it for are The Fountainhead😈 and Moby-Dick. The latter is truly the most boring thing I have ever read and it hurts me so deeply to know it is considered “the Great American novel.” 😩

[@girlsonfire4510]

you've genuinely got immaculate taste like every single thing you said in this video was spot on.

[@eilidhreads1774]

I love the squishmallow editions to the bookshelves

[@ixeliema]

Oh hey, feels weird to be the first of us two to have read a book you talk about! I finished What the River Knows last week via Spotify and LOVED it. I had a few issues, but I ADORE Isabel Ibanez' work! (can't do the ~n on my pc sorry ma'am!) I feel like you'll love it as well

[@gracesull78756]

wait there are audiobooks included in premium ? and only fifteen hours, that’s a wild choice especially if it’s not stated outright beforehand

[@ixeliema]

​@gracesull78756 hey I'm late to reply, but yeah, it's really obnoxious that they didn't tell me that. I'd recommend tracking your billing cycle and/or only reading audiobooks under 15 hours in length.

[@caelin3701]

my most hated book of all time is a book called Wildfire by Carrie Mac, i read it a few years ago and the entire time i thought it was the literal most stupid thing ever. its basically about these two teenagers who go on a hiking journey, say they are good at wilderness, and then proceed to break every single rule about being safe while camping, and all the emotional beats it was trying to hit were entirely drowned out by the sheer stupidity of it all. it drove me absolutely insane and not in a good way.

[@initiatinreallife]

Thank you for calling out Me Before You's abelism. I have a family member who has a form of quadriplegia (although in his case, he was able to regain that movement to some degree) from an accident. I was a child when that happened and it shook all our lives. My family for a while lived with the reality that he might never be able to move his body or play his instrument again, and that was tragic. But at no point did he or we consider suicide for him. A life with a disability is still worth living. Yet, I then grew up watching movie after movie where disabled characters keep dying, especially from suicide. This is such a harmful stereotype.

[@TheWordN3rd]

Fourth wing is also like... DEEPLY steeped in evangelical "Christ and his Bride" theology/thinking. My fundie friends and I all clocked that was Mormon/ex-Mormon (not entirely clear).

[@alisonfabi1081]

once again our opinions and experiences align perfectly bc i also gave fourth wing two stars at first but started hating it the more i thought about it and dropped it to a one star (and i also HATE how something so bad is so popular like icb that we're gonna get copycat fourth wings bc of this i wanna VOMIT) but yes we are the same person as always and i will proudly remain a hater as well

[@celestialsblues]

I'm glad we are all bonding in haterism. I think take me apart by Sara Silgar has to be one of my least favorite books I've read. What I think makes me hate it so much is that I went into it believing that I would love it and then it turned into something that made me so angry that I had to immediately get rid of it once I finished reading.

[@hannahmarie08]

on the road by jack kerouac absolutely takes the title of worst book i've ever read 😭 like it was racist (there was a scene romanticizing segregation??), sexist AND misogynistic, badly written, repetitive, boring, about 200 pages too long (and its only 300 pages)...i'm never forgiving the professor who assigned it

[@Kelleigh1224]

omg, I cried. I lived for Breaking Dawn (and I realize the toxicity of it) and I lived for 4th Wing and the talking dragons

[@emasvingerova9074]

I remember vividly reading most of these books when I was 13/14/15 and honestly I think I really enjoyed most of them - the Twilight era, Selection era, Divergent and ALSO Colleen Hoover was popular (less than today) back then - I also forgot I read most of these until this video (its been years) and now I'm honestly revisiting all of these books and I'm just....shocked :Ddd Now I can really see the issues some of them are portraying to the readers and not in a good way, I'm also studying gender studies at uni now so I honestly don't think I will ever enjoy any of these books ever again (but I'm glad!) :D I've also never thought about the pro-life aspect of Breaking Down! Thank you for this video, I will now spend my evening happily reading about all of these books and why are some of them quite problematic.

[@__marysoul]

thank u for uploading during my break from studying I NEEDED THIS SO BAD!!!!

[@kzj555]

Maybe its just me but i absolutely looooove the ACOTAR series. It makes me so happy 😅

[@kyndranicholle]

My dream is to be an author one day, and what motivates me to write and publish a book is reading these trash books and thinking “if people like THIS… and THIS is popular… truly my book will be astonishing :’)” 😂booktok fails me.. KZbin keeps it real on reviews lol

[@nitzeart]

Love this ❤ I love booktubers that don't fear to give their opinions. And it's fun! 😅 My most hated books of all time are The Mirror Visitor by Christelle Dabbos and Blindness by Saramago. Gosh are those books horrible! One of them is so gratuitously violent and disgusting, and the other says caycalling is a compliment.

[@sanderengelen9140]

I want to see Hannah her reaction should she ever read Too Late from Coho 😭. That book gave me a physical reaction istg

[@cherrypitsucker]

all over tiktok everyone was giving “Dance of Thieves” 5 stars so I went into it blind. The single worst book I have ever read. Truly and utterly. It read like it was made for middle schoolers and all the girls rec it were my age early 20s??? the WORST book I have ever encountered. It is worse than Red Queen by far so much so that I think you should read it bc you’ll have a good laugh

[@lynsiedaniels3275]

I don’t know why It’s so satisfying to see someone else hate the same books you do 😂 in my case Ugly Love, Me Before You, From Blood and Ash

[@scully139]

if you had read all the way to Allegiant (the final Divergent book) you'd definitely have that one here instead of Divergent. It is absolutely one of the worst books i've ever read

[@sweathogstickerpicker]

Now I'm glad I'm literally years behind in terms of reading the latest popular books so I've avoided these. Great video.

[@rebelbelle1388]

LOVE the fact that you tell it like it is. Fourth Wing and 13 Reasons Why absolutely belong on this list.

[@kartolina444]

Hannah called me out so hard talking about ACOTAR 😭 it actually was my first romantasy and i LOVED it *at the time*

[@akabaneaki]

Some books i had red in my life and wondered.....HOW THE HELL are these actual published books. When i KNOW there is ALOT ALOT LOADS of other better literature written but never gotten the chance to even pass the rounds to get it turned into a book omg. I LIVEEEEE for hannah's rant videos though so im super happy with this video thank youuu xD

[@__marysoul]

for me the selection just felt like the author was freestyling cuz she didnt have any good ideas i swear the amount of random events (all the attacks, northern and southern rebels etc) frustrated me so much cus she explained NOTHING and just expected us to go along with it 💀. I can tell you that the selection is the best book in the series because it just gets worse with every book (i got to the third one and dnfed it because it just felt like the author wasnt even trying to put any effort into it at that point) anyways thats pretty much the worst thing ive ever read, and the fact that theres a spin off still blows me away every time i think abt it like HOW do people even like this series

[@dania7989]

LISTEN it's messy and has questionable writing choices but i live for the drama and the wackiness 😂 it's like a trashy reality tv show you can't help but have a love/hate relationship with it LMFAO

[@__marysoul]

@@dania7989i get what u mean 😭 it got so addicting in the middle even though none of it made any sense lmao i guess i wouldve called it a trashy fun series if i read it when i was a little younger but unfortunately i didnt and the PAIN i had to go through goodness 🙏🙏

[@dania7989]

@__marysoul HAHA i also read it this year at the old lady age of 24 💀 i would've eaten it up as a tween tho. I wanted to throw my book in rage and overall i gave it 2.5 stars but im still glad i experienced it for myself pfft
