Hot take - I feel like real SJM girlies are few and far between. Her series are so different, I don't know many non-influencers who genuinely like all 3. I'm a TOG fanatic, but struggled to get through ACOTAR and don't have plans to pick up Crescent City🙃

Katie you have become one of my absolute favourite booktubers.🌸I absolutely love every single one of your videos and they bring me so much comfort. Watching this video was so much fun.💫

Katie you should read The Lunar Chronicles series by Marissa Meyer, those books are awesome 🫶🏾✨

I totally get how you feel about once upon a broken heart! The first was a four star for me and the last two were five stars! I love Evangeline and Jacks so so much!

have been waiting for this kind of video! have my phone on hand so i can write down recs. you’re one of the few i can trust for book recs especially fantasy recs 💚

oh my god i really love throne of glass and kingdom of the wicked. tog would be on my top tier. i so am sjm girly. but it was so fun to see how you ranked them. other than that, i 90% agree with how you rank the others. would like you to this every year though. its nice to see a recommendation in a different way. i dont want this video to end honestly, it was so so fun!

wanted to thank you for all your videos, binging your content from the last 2 years kept me sane in my exam season!! our tastes are very different a lot of the time, my top tier would have: The Raven Cycle, Ghosts of the Shadow Market, Skulduggery Pleasant, The Mortal Instruments, Pandora Hearts, D.Gray-man; and my second tier: Daughter of Smoke and Bone, Carry On, The Emerald Atlas, The Dark Artifices, The Coldest Girl in Coldtown, Kuroshitsuji, Kaiju no.8; my lowest tier would have to include: Gallant, Half Life, Throne Of Glass, Children of Blood and Bone, Shades of Magic, Howl's Moving Castle (I really like the film but not the book), and controversially Emily Wilde's Encyclopaedia of Faeries, The Infernal Devices and The Last Hours (I'm currently reading Chain of Thorns, and it's the only one of the series I'm genuinely enjoying)

so real that u had the least to say about ur absolute faves because u know they’re that good when they leave u speechless

Katie, I have only read one Fantasy, "A Fate Inked in Blood" and absolutely loved it. This is the video I have been looking for to help me choose a series to read. Your tier ranking videos are my favorite!

Ohh tier ranking every fantasy series fun. The only books I would change would be Tress of the Emerald Sea and Vampire Academy to so fun! Six Crimson Cranes would be almost, but not quite.

If you liked heartless I would definitely recommend reading the lunar chronicles. I haven't read Heartless so I can't compare it but the lunar chronicles are retelling books that are super unique and they also have great characters!

Marissa Meyer is my guilty pleasure. I can’t help it I love every single one of her books. Especially the lunar chronicles which I am thinking of rereading.

This was really fun! Fantasy is my favorite genre and I added a few more to my TBR from watching this 😊I enjoyed Priory okay, but I liked A Day of Fallen Night a lot more. So if you do ever decide it’s time, I think it’s worth reading the prequel!

ahhh i just woke up this is the best way to start my day 🥺💛

Love this video so much ❤ the crescent city one had me so shocked and now I’m even more nervous to read it 😅

This is my comfort channel 🩵

I'm so glad the KZfaq algorithm brought me to this video! I haven't read as many fantasy books as you, but the ones you loved/enjoyed and thought were "meh" I completely agreed with! I definitely added a few to my TBR based on your rankings and can't wait to watch your other videos

Prison Healer series is one of my all time favourite YA fantasy series. I don’t read that much YA anymore but I was obsessed with that series when I read it last year

This was so fun to watch. I've actually read most of the books in your worst section lol and at least one of each in the other categories.

really loved this video! would love to see more of them for different genres

Our reading tastes and thoughts are so similar! I saw so many people talk about A Study In Drowning with such positive reviews and I got totally suckered into the hype and it was just so meh for me. My favourite series are Veronica Speedwell, Villains & Virtues and The War of Lost Hearts! My absolute favourites!!!

we have vastly different taste (some of my favourite books of all time are in your meh category and some that I DNFed are in your all time favourites!) but I really enjoy hearing about what you love or don’t in a book! and I completely agree that Vicious by VE Schwab is one of the most excellent fantasies!

I completely agree with your take on SJM. I started with ACOTAR, haven’t started CC and night possibly dnf TOG

The quality of your video is unreal!!!! Wow!

For T.Kingfisher you should definitely read the sworn soldier series if you want horror or the sain of steel series for romance! I read both of them and finished them so quickly, they were so entertaining and they had such good storylines

You have to read the fifth one! Really expands on the other characters plot lines!

Just finished this newly released, original collection of fairy tales, entitled 'Sillies, Fancies, and Trifles' - it was phenomenal and just perfect for the season. You guys would love it! What's everyone else reading, I want some more recommendations to add to the lovely ones here. Keep up the beautiful videos :)

Agree so much with Emily Wilde being in top tier, I need to read Half a Soul, I have it on my kindle, maybe I'll get to it this month 😅

Happy Monday, love!

So as someone who would’ve put Priory in the integral part of my personality category I recommend A Day of Fallen Night lol but if you didn’t love Priory, I don’t know if it’ll be that different of an experience. Personal fave though.

I agree with you about Crescent City.

Damn I love your takes!

Her top tier series : Infernal devices Starless sea Half a soul Emily Wilde's encyclopedia of faeries Strange the dreamer Vicious The way of kings

I'm generally not a big SJM fan but to put Acotar above The Name of Wind was wild

I wanna read the infernal devices series but do you have to read her other series first? That’s a lot 😅

If you want to give T Kingfisher another try, read Nettle and Bone! IMO her most mature work, loved the writing and it's fun but also tackles some serious things

You should read the wizards guide to defensive baking by T. Kingfisher. It’s so good. You’d Iove it. I would put this in the top of my tier list.

Me on the verge of vomiting when she said that she didn’t like King of Scars

i’m halfway through Gold rn (5th in the Plated Prisoner series) and i’ve been really dragging my feet with this one. it’s become the book i pick up when i’m super bored and am in between other books. i think the series could have been so good if she made it 3 books, but there are just so many places in the series where she unnecessarily dragged everything out and now she’s saying it’ll be a 7 book series and i might DNF because of that

I honestly have the same exact opinion about name of the wind. I can’t finish it 😭

I’m reading the crescent city and I feel you 😭 I’m convincing myself to like it but it’s not clicking with me

I feel the same way about Crescent City, it just *slightly* misses the mark for me. The first book was a solid 4.5 stars (for me) but the 2nd one barely made it into 4 star category-because of the amount of detail that went into it

Loved your video ❤ I personally think that the "A Shadow in the Ember" Series is way better than "blood and Ash" 🤭

As someone who LOVED Samantha Shannon’s TPOTOT, I’m telling you that the prequel is like 200 times better! I’d say it took the ‘mistakes’ of TPOTOT and learnt from them, creating a story that was incredible with such lovable and well-written characters it was hard to put the book down (for me, at least haha). So if you ever feel like reading some reaaally good 800+ pages high fantasy, A Day of Fallen Night is a fantastic choice :))

Some of my TBR for the year: - 3rd book of from blood and ash - 2nd book of serpent and dove - last book of kingdom of the wicked... Katiee, why make me suffer? xd

pookie (divine rivals) is looking absolutely fire tonight

literally SAME THOUGHTS, SAME EMOTIONS, SAME FRUSTRATIONS, when it comes to how Chain of Thorns brought down the Last Hours series 😩

this is irrelevant but your camera quality is so amazing !!

This is an official request for a baking with Katie video

For me, from blood and ash series would be an integral part of my personality and the infernal devices would be meh😂 to me it was giving I would love it in middle school or high school. Wasn’t terrible but not a favorite

I love how u put From blood and ash at the bottom and that’s my absolut favorite fantasy series. But I gave The infernal devices 1 star so we’re even😂

I was confused why Stardust and Night Circus were in this video. I thought it only includes fantasy series. Were these books part of a series? Were they not standalones?

the fact that the infernal devices is at the top and the mortal instruments is at the bottom kills me 💀 (both spots well deserved tho)

Who actually thought mortal instruments was okay. That book hurt me - like what in the incest? why did it have to exist? And now I’m too scared to read any other Cassandra Clare book

it's so hard to find people who also think King of Scars is absolutely disastrous

WHAT MASCARA DO YOU USE?!?!? 💖

You should read ‘the beginning after the end’ novel (not comic) and lord of the mysteries there both really good

I liked priory but I loved day of falle night

my top 'an integral part of my personality' book series and standalones: the infernal devices and the last hours by cassandra clare the shatter me series by tahereh mafi the once upon a broken heart trilogy by stephanie garber the acotar series by sjm the red queen series by victoria aveyard the secret history by donna tartt better than the movies by lynn painter icebreaker by hannah grace sorcery of thorns by margaret rogerson the book thief by markus zusak

I like this new you❤ I always love the vibe of your videos but feel like you are trying to be nice and don’t give us any real criticisms but in this one you are so real and fun❤

Dude if you've never watched a k-drama you need to!! They are soo funn!!!

The Name of the Wind in meh 🥲

Sending you lots of love❤

you are SOOOO real for crescent city. LOVED ACTOAR. Really liked ToG….but CC?? I just cannot….

❤❤❤ I hope you have a lovely year (:

I would have way too many series I have ever read, though I'm 61 so I've had time to read a lot

This feels embarrassing but is there a video out there explaining the book girlie world? What the acronyms mean, how you decide what is a 5 star is etc? Also just trying to find channels that read the vibes I like to read and I love all the cute girls I've been watching but I really want to find somewhere that dislikes romantic plots as much as I do 😅

I want to read Infernal Devices and the Cassandra Clare books but I’ve not been impressed with Mortal Instruments. Can I skip that series???

I love your videos so much but we definitely don't have the same taste. I gave the Infernal devices trilogy 2 stars as a whole so I think that sums it up

An Ember is the Ashes 😬 good luck. I loved the first two books (4 ⭐ and 5 ⭐) but the last two 😬 absolute mess. I feel the exact same way as you about the Gild series.

my jaw definitely dropped when I saw kings of scars ranking but its okay I understand 🥲

How can anyone hate Kvothe???

I’m currently reading the Mortal Instruments but it’s boring the hell out of me idk if I should finish it or jump to the Infernal Devices 😭 (LOVED THE VID BTW)

cc, kingdom of the wicked & fbaa being at the very bottom and TID at the very top

I came here for Twilight. But tbh didn’t leave when you burned me like that. ✨🧛🏻‍♂️🔥

Ranking six of crows this low is a crime

Not me having the same opinion on almost every book 😭✨

Fourth wing???

15:08 The Lord of the Rings 14:55 The Hobbit

You should read Berserk

okay but king of scars?! you made it so dirty

u should read harry potter u would love it plz its amazing

it's kinda funny bc looking at books that you love i would BLINDLY tell that you are a throne of glass girly skldjlksadj less romance more high fantasy idk jsdkjskdl it's shocking🤣 i actually will never understand why people started hating on mortal instruments asdjsakdjk it's still my fav series from the author (okay inc🙅st plot is awful but i guess i just forget about it XD i spoiled myself before reading) 🤣🤣there was a time in book community when it was as well loved as acotar and shatter me 😂

❤❤❤

Warbreaker beaten out by Emily Wilde 😮 oh my.

After finishing HOFAS and discussions with others on socials, I seriously think that SJM and her team ended HOSAB the way they did because if they hadn't...only true CC fans would have kept reading. I enjoyed HOEAB but the rest of the series....yeah who greenlighted this.

Would you like to buy back your soul?

🖤🌹🖤🌹🖤🌹🖤🌹🖤🌹

why is there a ton of stand alones and short stories

Rating the Cruel prince higher than OUABH is wild ;-; LOVED THIS VID THO, have a great week

FIRST 💯 😎

Six of crows>>>>>

girl do NOT waste your time with the fifth plated prisoner book- it's literally AWFUL, it was so boring (auren and slade are separated the ENTIRE book) and was one of my least fav books of last year

COMPLETELY agree with you on Kvothe! One of the most overrated protagonists ever

😢Please add Turkish subtitles. I can't explain most of what you said.

TMI? For obvious reasons? That’s not obvious at all..

You didn't mention it but most people don't know howl's moving castle has 2 sequels castle in the sky and house of many ways

Hey Katie I love your videos so much ❤️ But boycotting books written by authors who support Isr**ael and geno**cide as Sarah j Mass and other authors would be much better and helpful (I mean if you already own them from before then don’t talk about them or recommend them ) Thank you ❤ Free Pale**stine ❤️
