This is the last installation of our throne of glass recaps!! I genuinely can’t take any more ✊😔 How are we all feeling??

i love that someone thinking she's homeless is an "all-time low" when she started the series being TORTURED IN PRISON

she finally remembered her youtube password

"Not everyone needs to be in a relationship, people can just exist" YES THANK YOU

12:45 you know the writing is good when you can’t tell if it’s a creature or a vibe

sjm has a vowel fetish and i'm convinced she only wrote the books as a vehicle for her to make up character names

EVERYONE DROP WHAT YOU'RE DOING ITS SHITTY BOOK CLUB TIME

I remember reading these in middle school and I think this is the second to last of the books I read. The shift to her becoming a fey princess retaking her kingdom felt so jarring, like her being an assassin didn't really matter much past this point. And the way the books kept on getting more and more explicit felt so uncomfortable especially since I was reading them at around twelve years old lol. I really liked Manon though, and I'm so disappointed to hear the direction her plotline went by the final book.

This book has the same vibes as a barely-cannon season of a 400 episode anime

AHJAJFHSKFHA SHES BACK

There's a lot of pedantic arguments a person can make about the validity of their distant-familial pairings but I think people are really underestimating how easy it is, when writing a book, to make the two romantically involved characters not related. It actually takes out a huge chunk of work because you don't have to write the long awkward "well you're only distantly related so it's like fine it barely even counts you wouldn't even attend the same reunions. it's mostly marriage anyway" when you can just. not do that and have them not be related at all fdskjd. I'm also not even sure about the "if you go back far enough" argument (not as in arguing with you but as in 'as a defence of fictional incest') because it kind of presupposes an adam and eve scenario rather than the one that exists. if you go back far enough the distance you had to be from a relative to have kids with them without making your mutual grandparents upset shrinks significantly but I'm not sure that's the slam dunk people want it to be, especially in a fairy scenario when literally anything you want can be true. I've liked a lot of books that in a historical setting will allow for cousin marriages to exist, but in an ostensibly modern fantasy it always kind of makes me go 🤔 like nobody had to. is the thing.

These book club videos are always so cozy in a way I find difficult to describe

I find it crazy that authors write love-interests that are distantly related and somehow think it's completely okay...like some people are still going to feel weird abt it. Later in the series, SJM tries to 'fix' this problem by saying that Rowan's bloodline is so distant from Aelin's that she's probably more related to Chaol than she is to him, which is absolutely crazy bc Chaol was also her love interest. Let's not forget that Aelin and Dorian are also related and they dated. In one series, SJM somehow managed to create two incestual relationships while also insinuating a third, all of which include Aelin.

The emotional rollercoaster I went on from being so excited you posted a new video to being so upset that the fae cousin male love interest has the same name as me 💀💀💀

you have no idea how i excited i am that you posted girl

SHE HATH RETURNED

Oh thank god she’s back I was getting worried

The witch part is the most interesting part of the whole series ( i assume. I stopped reading somewhere near the middle of this book). I'm not surprised it stuck with you because it's also the part i remember best

This is my new favorite booktube channel, it feels like I’m listening to a friend infodump/rant while I’m scrolling through instagram

“not every character needs a love interest” SJM: y’all hear something?

Oh my god missed you! Even though I binged all your videos a few weeks ago for the first time but still!

I'm completely lost but you are just so compelling 😂

Wasn't Rowan's mate bond artificially made by Maeve to control him but his real mate is actually Aelin

Do you think SJM believes authors still get paid by the word?

bestie in the absolute best way possible you sound so aromantic

I loved that you made it all the way through! I think I DNF several books ago but it's still exciting to hear it through your lens.

15:24. AGREED! As an aroace individual I relate to this SO HARD! Give me single protagonists!😅

LOVE YOU LOVE THIS SO GLAD YOIT BACK!!!

love the video!! however please be aware that sk*nwalkers are from Native American culture and it's very disrespectful to say or write their full name (hence why i censored it). they're not a cool cryptid to use in a story. i know that's sjm's fault for including them but we should all respect the request of the culture they come from. love your videos, i listen to them a lot during my long drawing sessions!!

I've never read these books, and I never intend to, but it's eternally entertaining to listen to you explain the insanity within. Also, congrats on graduating!

28:53 okay i'm coming into this with 0 knowledge, i simply decided i'd watch this video without knowing anyone or anything so i have no clue what's going on, but i think this part is a real missed opportunity. in a fantasy story like this, it's really important to bring back some realism that connects the readers to the characters, whether that be love troubles or feeling lost or overwhelmed, and coming of age is super popular to do that. grief isn't as deeply explored past the basic idea of "stages of grief" and i really think something that could be interesting is the complication that being a widower poses. imagine a story where the female character (forgot her name lmao) has the internal conflict of feeling less loved over the late loved one of the male character (also forgot his name)? there could be super sweet convos about the MC and his feelings for his late wife/mate, a bonding over the FC and MC's losses, they could come to a mutual understanding of each other through it. and instead it's just "ik i loved her or whatever but she's dead now and i like you more" like that's just wild! i know lots of things abt this story are asinine and truly tropes on tropes, but i really like grief storylines and so it popped out as something that could've been great.

WE MISSED YOU!!!!

You are constantly such a mood

I'm glad I found this channel for my commute to school Congrats on graduating!

Thank god you’re back. I’ve been waiting so long.

Yayyyy I love your videos! So glad you are back 🎉

YES GIRL WE LOVE IT

i Think im speaking for all of us when i say we missed your videos !!! ❤

BESTIE IS BAAAAACKKKKKKK

eyyy girl welcome back >>>

Yesss a new video🎉 You actually inspired me to reread the entire series (currently in the middle of book 2)😊

Thank you for your hard work! My cousin and I are slogging through these and I feel I have become a worse person as a result. Lord I was suffering.

Havent seen any of the other book videos before this, a trip of a story to hear.

I kinda liked Rowan and Aelin (ignoring the age gap) but rethinking it now because I didn’t realize they were RELATED. Changes a whole perspective to the books, like why SJM 😭. You could’ve just as easily made that not a thing, like it doesn’t come back in the books and isn’t important to the story lmao😭

LOVE your videos!!

when i needed her most the queen returned

I knew I had my notifications on for a reason

Yay you’re back!

I am so glad I found this video!! I read this series when I was in the 6th grade, so its so nice finding someone who understands how strange and weird this book series is. Manon was also my favorite character, cause I don't really remember her getting too explicit. I did also hate all of Alien's names, why are there so many???

Welcome back!

So glad you're back! 😂

YES!! I fucking love you so much-we share so many of the same opinions about Sarah J Maas’s books and your videos give me life!!

MISSED YOU QUEEN

TELL A FRIEND SHES BACK

Yooo congrats on graduating!!!

OMG I read these in high school and ALSO forgot I read them but ALSO only remembered the witch plotline???

Honestly I remember reading the entire series, and the beginning I really enjoyed but once it got to this book- no clue what was happening I ended up just finishing the series just to finish it, which I feel like there was a lot more potential there since the story was interesting at first

it’s so funny bc this is as far as i got before i couldn’t take it anymore 😅

i spent half of this video being very confused (but entertained!) until i realised i hadnt seen the previous video and thats why idk any of these characters 😂

Missed you queen

Omg hiiiii, i missed you and these videos❤

BABE WAKE UP SHITTY BOOK CLUB DROPPED A NEW VIDEO

ive missed youuuu! now that youre done with throne of glass may i suggest "one of us is lying"... its so bad but its short! just one book so less torture than a series 👀

you’re just like me because I also could not take any more of this series after this book. not sure if i even finished it

Your videos on Sarah J Mass make me so glad I didn't end up buying any of her books.😭😭😭😭This makes me feel like I'm in one of those headache inducing dreams💔

Wth! I'm subscribed with notifications and I didn't find this out about this until now?!

😂 I missed you. Also both ways you said Wyverns was correct. Pick the one you like Abraxos? -ACOTAR senses tingle- 🙈 Stinky vibes… 😭

completely forgot about Aiden until you mentioned him and then immediately remembered shipping him with Chaol. making that the third thing i remember about this series lmao

SIX OF CROWS!! If you read that book I swear the writing is 10x better the plot is way more interesting!! As someone who does not like fantasy books and could hardly make it through the 1st throne of glass book…I finished the entire first book of Six of Crows in ONE day!!! You know that feeling when you’re reading and the book is so good that you almost forget you’re reading? That is Six of Crows it is literally a masterpiece!!!! If you do a commentary on it that would literally make my year!!! Love your content ❤ stay real girlie

I think this is the book I stopped on. I was reading them as they came out and this was the last straw. Too many names, I hate Rowan, and the witches confused the hell out of me. The witches part would’ve been a good book but just throwing a whole subplot that had nothing to do with anything prior annoyed me. And the Dorian romance made me so angry.

i read these books 5 ish years ago because of a friend. it was whatever up to this point, but then the books became longer and the chapters more and more repetitive, i was skipping entire chapters in the last two books because every single person was agressively, heterosexually coupled up and had the exact same fight for no reason the only character that i actively liked is gavriel, because hes the only nice one, and i was offended by the end of the book that said, i think about these characters every couple of months for no reason and imagine alternative universe aus with more adventure and gay main original characters in my head

omg mother returns

No but I actually feel so happy rn

"being seen as unhoused was a new low" BABES YOUVE BEEN IN PRISON???

this acct is so underrated

Yay! Finally! I just had surgery and I needed something. 😅

So with the hand holding thing, is it the public part of hand holding? Or just the hand holding?

This is how I felt reading this series 😂

Callacula is such a funny name for a place like SJM just misremembered Calcutta, a real life city

I also hate the Rowan - Celeana romance, which made me stop reading the series altogether!

yaaaaaaaay! new shitty book club!

I MISSED YOU

IM SO HAPPY🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

Good ole' momma Maasy really said I'm making more love interests than Cupid's loan shark huh

i desperately want you to read the acotar series bc i know you’d hate it as much as i do but i also understand never wanting to read another sjm book again

Watching this review is even better when I have no other context for the book or any of the rest of the series. No idea what's going on 🎉

If you ever feel like trying Chinese fantasy I’d recommend Mo Xiang Tong Xiu’s books. Good plots and good characters

omg welcome back!!! 🩷🩷 I missed these videos :3
