After 4th Wing, Lightkark and Powerless got published, I am already waiting for My Immortal to become a full series and netflix adaptation 😂

Lauren is trying to write every trope into one series stg

Not their lips crashing together 😭 Lauren giving herself away as a wattpad girlie LMAO

This book was...something. I'm very sure that Lauren was pressed to finish this sequel because how on earth does she publish the second one so quickly? It's not even well written, there's no plot or even an attempt at one.

Every time I doubt my own writing, I see that books like these get published and I find some hope for myself 😅

"What is going on in the morning in America? Sleep in" I'm in tears lmaoooooo 😭

it would have been better if they'd have actually gotten together in the first book and built their emotional intimacy so that in the second when they're forced against each other then we feel the emotional impact. but nope. fail.

The t-shirt is iconic. And as someone who also loves yapping (and hates Powerless), yes. Also: I don't think my mental health can handle a single other use of Ocean Eyes

lol yeah no way am I reading this. Feels like the publishing world just cares more about making money than making good books.

19:43 “Why not just dye her hair?” Yes definitely. I find it funny (real source this time) from Lauren Roberts’ Instagram story she did a 4 truths and 1 lie and one of the examples she gave was that Paedyn will dye her hair to hide from Kai. So it was on her mind but she didn’t go through with it

Unpopular opinion but I actually liked switching to Kitt’s POV, not because of what happens in it but because Kai and Paedyn were SO UNBEARABLE

Happy to support a fellow German bookhater nation ✊🏼

I love to hate those books. As a fellow german - we just love to criticise I guess ^^. It is just sad, that those books are published and so many great indie authors struggle... make it make sense.

okay first of all your eyeliner is so pretty

Bro I am so happy these books are getting the actual critiques they deserve. I have no idea how these books got popular, acclaimed or given the traditional treatment when so many great authors of merit are being rejected scores of times by literary agents in place for these influencers. None of these books have staying power, its such shortsightedness on behalf of these publishers, and I just feel literature is getting dumbed down as a result. Powerless isn't the only shitty book getting trad pubbed due to tiktok either, Lightlark, Xiran Jay Zhao(though her books are nominally better than this trite). Its demoralizing as a writing seeing these books get published.

no bc she just straight up ripped the "chained together" thing from Dance of Thieves but it sounds like it didn't even happen for any reason fdhfhjdh when obviously in DoT it had a purpose

So happy my parasocial bestie is here to yap with me

“The beast never gets the beauty” bro that’s the whole point of beauty and the beast???? Mf just wants to be the fantasy equivalent of “nice guys finish last”

About Calum, yeah everyone who read Reckless is confused too. I know some people are theorizing that maybe Calum also has the power of mind control and he’ll be the villain in the third book, but canonically none of us have any idea right now 🤷‍♀️

I actually was so excited to read Reckless since Paedyn killed the king, but I think Lauren Roberts messed up by killing him so early in the series because where is our plot? Our antagonist? I feel like she wants to have her cake and eat too by towing the line on Kitt being a good guy or a bad guy

omg I love how all my book tubers are making videos about this series

Imagine people saying 'the plague' instead of covid😭

Dance of Thieves is one of my favorites lauren needs to leave it alone lol (edit after watching: who compared this to DoT this sounds nothing like it)

I have been on the edge of my seat waiting for this thank you for suffering on our behalf

All i wanted was a bit of bread🍞🥖💃

I love the One Piece Ace poster in the background lol idk how I never noticed it

53 minutes??? I am SAT.

THE MAKEUP LOOKS SO GOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

37:04 omg Calum x Kit new ship

5 minutes in and I subscribed. Your vibe is infectious.

I volunteer as tribute to read the last book for you, since you did me the favor of reading the first two since I didn't have to. I did read about half of powerless but dnf because I couldn't take it anymore.

Immediately subscribed when I saw that you didn't like these books lmao

I think i would have liked their first kiss to be out of love and passion or if their first kiss was the last kiss they did in the flowers at the end of the book before they get taken away. The whole book was lacking the tension of the first book for me and kinda felt like they were forced together with the chain issue and their constant dagger to the throat got tiring too. I would prefer if they figured out they loved each other sooner. Kits chapters were boring and didn't really improve or impact the story I would have liked to see more thoughts about what he's going through, the part with the Queen was kinda nice to me and would have liked them to talk more about the King maybe helping Kit figure himself out about who he is as a King will he follow his fathers steps or will he decide to rule in his own way and how is that impacting him.

The I ❤️ talking shirt is so iconic

Yes! 100% agree this should’ve been a duology Reckless was TRASH

god i was so ready for this video

Doesnt she know you can have exposition dialogue, but it should be in a dialogue , anny reason in the world why they would talk about basic knowledge, or even they learned different things and fight about that. Oh her thinking, didnt look like a plague, that does not sound like a natural diease. That could prompt them discussing about whats true before finding that? Forshadowing uuuhg.

Love the video!! Thank you for working so hard so I don’t have to read these books 😂

The plague sounds like the vampire biology of Vampire Knight where inc*st is "necessary" for vampires/families to remain powerful........

I'm sorry the Reckless cover is ugly af. Looks way worse than the Powerless one.

We just need Paedyn to be a secret princess next book lol.

9:30 Oh my gosh, mentioned! 😁 Yeah I’m really disappointed the person who reviewed Reckless didn’t share where she got this information about Lauren Roberts from, because I don’t want my comment to just be hearsay 😂

The fact that the book might not be a good book is understandable, and the fact that you did not like it might be understandable, but the fact that she wrote sentences structured absolutely ‘proper’ and didn’t flood her book with a whole bunch of “ands” points at her ability to write complex sentences properly-not dull down her writing capability to make people with less ‘linguistic understanding’ happier. As a writer, she strives to improve peoples knowledge when it comes to reading ‘proper’ sentence structure.

Honestly I was sad when PAEDYN saved Kai doing first kit to be alive but later Kai said thanks and je put her in shackles. PAEDYN was very hurt I cry and really a little hated him for it😢

I stoped listening for a moment and then Sophie said "she married Kit" I-

Your eye make up is so gorgeous ❤

Here for the yapping DD's

I need that shirt

Why is there a second one??

Yeah, I saw that Aster announcement. I actually liked Lightlark and am reading Nightbane next. She did come out with a third book announcement. Skyshade. Not sure I like that title name. I just saw she's doing an adult romance. I'm not a romance girl so...I'm definitely not reading it. YA & Adult Fantasy is more it. It's probably going to get a good reception. My small opinions are small. As for this second book Reckless, thank you for reading these so we can get your perspective.

Thank the algorithm for leading me here ☀️I really like your videos, your criticism and your humour. Ganz viel Liebe von einem deutschen Bookhater Fan 🥰

Lol, I got it from the library but I might just send it back unread.

By the review I'll diagnose this book freak boring.

Honestly I loved it.

i’m terrified to watch this video bc i legit just bought these books?? what do you mean???😭😭

Would you be interested in reading The Midnight Rose by Catalina Paris for something different?

36:21 ….girl mixers????? As in little mix!????? As in mama told me not to waste my life she said spread your wings my little butterfly????????????? Fucking hello????????????????????????

He’s 19 she’s 18

I was so excited and I’m on maybe chapter 5 or 7 whatever and I’m not liking it at all.. nothing makes sense 😢 ik I’m so early in but I’m not getting into it.. ughh…

girlll do you even like any book??? if all books are trash...like come on most of your videos are about trash talking....i bet you like the Coho books...TELL me three books that you actually liked...

Is your channel brand negativity? I’m asking genuinely because from the thumbnails it seems like you hate every book you read. Also, I subscribe to a KZfaqr that likes to review bad movies, so I’m not judging I’m just trying to figure out the vibe here since the algorithm suggested this video.

Great review! This was definitely my most anticipated thing happening in my life this week 😂 I really did love Powerless, but Reckless makes me think Fearless will suck too 🫤
