The annoying thing about SJM OP protagonists are that these "twists" that their protagonists have are not really earned. Or hinted at in a clues sort of way (though they are set up). We the audience can only figure it out because we've read fantasy young adult novels before and they're always a super special chosen one. SPOILERS I knew Celaena was the super special faerie princess as soon as the novel said there was a lost princess. I knew Bryce would have star power. What I really don't like is the characters hiding it from the audience. It's a twist for a twist sake and because it's not really hinted at or have any red herrings like a good plot twist it's not satisfying and we only figure it out because we all know what a chosen one is regardless of the writing of the story.

But it is hinted at, multiple times. For example, when Hunt says something like his power is a burden, and she says I know, before making it a joke that she has the power to attract alphaholes. Or when they get frisky on the couch and it says that her body exploded into glorious starlight (or something like that). And I think there was something after the venom gets extracted from her leg; Hunt thinks he saw a light glowing in her eyes that was not there before. The what blinds an oracle thing is also a hint if you ask me. Though I do think the hints are subtle enough that you might not pick up on them on the first read.

Mediocre might be a bit generous, honestly

One trope I didn't know I love is when there's a murder mystery and a couple who's never met before and don't really like each other are forced to work it together. What's nice about it is that it isn't just about them becoming really close and caring for each other but plot demands that anyone they talk to can be a suspect or someone who'll betray them. They don't know each other, so even working together they shouldn't trust each other anymore than they should anyone else, and yet they do. It's also nice that this doesn't have to be romantic, it's literally any buddy cop movie and I think it's one of the most wholesome tropes out there.

coming back to this to say that i love how you explain plot holes by saying “~somehow~ bryce figured out XYZ”😂 it’s a perfect way to show that it doesn’t quite make logical sense while still maintaining the flow of your plot breakdown. love this video so much!!

I feel like Sarah J Maas has a bad habit of writing a first book (or first two, as I've heard throne of glass went) with like... a specific plot and concept, and *fully* wrapping it up by the end, but for some reason going on to write fifty more books following it. Like, acotar was a fully wrapped up beauty and the beast story, but she just kept going and it went off the rails into a war story (did not finish that series). Now CC has been a properly completed mystery, but she still needs more?

this video was so fun, it made me want to read the book, which then reminded me how little i jive with sjm's writing but i love how the woman is living her best life with these batshit concepts that she gets publishing deals for

Watched this like twice to fully remember the first book before I start reading the second. This has been a life saver girl. Can’t wait for the second book.

lmao at the start of the video, I was like ‘it’s so nice of you to summarise an entire book series for us’, imagine my horror at 1:56 when I realised this is only * one * book??? you need a prize for this omg

I picked up the book over a year ago because the cover was pretty and it was before I discovered WithCindy (who lost her mind reading SJM's other series). I'm about 75% of the way through and been reading this beast for over a month now. Like I read three books in between trying to read this because it was so slow. I swear SJM just doesn't have an editor because a good 200 pages could have been shaved in the first half alone

I downloaded her books because of the pretty covers as well and well, because a couple of people were recommending it. And gosh, I will forever be grateful that I found Cindy before I read that book because it definitely was not something I wanted to read.

@@safala yeah I also bought the second book before reading it because it also had a pretty cover and a lot of good reviews on goodreads. I've only progressed to 85% of the first book being read and I'm only continuing because of sunken cost fallacy

Lol I’m so invested in your story-re-telling of this (never read any of these books) that I’ve been brought to tears MORE THAN ONCE! Thanks for these fun videos. Watched your plot overview of ACOTAR and it was the first time I ever felt interested in that story, so I decided to borrow it from my library. We’ll see if it lives up to your pleasant summary. I hope you never stop doing these videos, they’re amazing to listen to!

Literally every big blow/surprise/sad thing that happened I cried AGAIN hearing you talk about it 😂❤️

this recap was more compelling and clear than the book. I didn't bother with reading book 2 so i'll go watch your feature film about that one too lol

the way i have 0 interest in SJM's books but will still watch you talk about them for hours

The amount of times I rewatch the doulogy that is these two videos- it’s both too many but not enough- my new favorite long comfort KZread videos Love you, thank you!! 💜

I can't even begin to express how helpfull this video has been to prepare me for the CC3 in 2 weeks, literally still finishing tog and was running for my life because I couldn't remember very well the plot of the CC duo that is out, until I found this video. It was like opening the little drawers in my brain that had all the information I needed to know. And the way you told it? amazinggg. The next one will be really helpful because I did not retain very much information from that. Not to mention that I love this book soooo much and it was like reading it again but in two hours, loved itttt

the thirst for Declan and the pronunciation of Nok has me in tears. i just finished House of Sky of Breath, and i can’t wait to watch your video on it because it was a wild ride!

Oh my god now I need this type of a WHOLE FREAKING DOCUMENTARY to every book in the world hahahah please keep on going, it’s such a pleasure to watch 😍

Did I just sit throught 2 hours of Cari explaining the plot of a book I have already read (I also read the second one of the series) and did not get bored a single minute? Yes, yes I did 😌

THANK YOU FOR THIS. You helped explain things SO much clearer than anyone else I’ve tried watching! Will definitely be watching your Sky and Breath review once I’m on that book! THANK YOU AGAIN! ❤️

So Micah is basically the satan of the book. Damn this was fun to watch and I had so much enjoyment even though this isn’t really my genre.

me again, girl thank you for this video, I have read this book but with your video I was able to understand things even better and move on to the second book without having to read the whole thing again, not to mention you’re narration is so funny and captivating you could do it with any book and i’d watch it gladly ✨🌷 AND OMG I CRIED SO HARD IN THE LEHABAH SCENE TOO

When Lehabah died I shuffled out to the living room and read that scene to my husband while crying. The angels saluting her while she did it was just..... sobbing

This was absolutely incredible thank you! You’ve saved me from a very long reread and you’re so genuinely funny too

Your videos are my favorite and they have saved me so much time by not having to re read books and series! I’m super grateful and can’t wait to see more

I absolutely love this format of summarizing the plots to things, especially now that Crescent City is joining Pretty Little Liars and the Vampire Diaries. I think now that we have questionable ya books as well as shows, we need classic literature. I would pay money to see the plot of like jane eyre explained this way

Listen, I need you to know that I watched the whole entire 2 hr video and was absolutely mesmerised by your voice and also the wand. Please do this again and keep the wand. It was so helpful knowing who was who and who belongs where without needing to use brain power!

I just discovered your channel, and what a gem!! I love reading and watching Mike's Mic so the mix of these two worlds has my mind exploding. Pleaseee do more of these! I always forget the first book of a series and just don't continue since I need a refresh. Love this content

I can’t even begin to tell you how helpful this was! I read book one but it immediately went through one ear and out the other and by the time I started book too I had no idea what was going on but now I can kind of piece everything back together! Thank you so much!!! 💜

The cat-demon voice LMAO I'm loving this video. Wasn't gonna read it but the plot made me interested and you explained it really well 💛

this has become such a comfort video tbh i rewatch it all the time

I am just about reading the second book. and I my lord I really needed the recap. I did forget about so much stuff that was happening. Thanks for all the effort you put into this video. Had a fun time hering you explain the plot and the levels of friedship.

Oh gosh, I read the first 100 pages of crescent city and was like “do I really want to read 700 pages more of whatever is even going on right now?” Well I did not so thank you for this video🙏 I love long book reviews/summaries so very excited to watch

You my friend are a saviour! I’m so late to reading the second book I haven’t even started so I was fully out of touch with the details from book 1. Man I loved the way you went into this no detail was missed and you can tell a lot of hard work went into this. I just wanted to say a huge thank you!!! ❤

I love the editing and I really, really loved the knocking sounds, when you say that people knock on doors.

"It's hard to find a good secretary" I died 🤣

I have to be honest, I cried my heart out with this book and a side effect of watching this video is that all those emotions just came back. I adored Bryce and Danika and their friendship until the very end was so beautiful.

Loved your narration and edits. I don't know why, but the night-vision edit of the synth deal on the river just had me rolling.

I absolutely loved your commentary through this mess of a plot! You explain things in a very entertaining way and I can't wait to watch the next summary! :D

This is brilliant! I’m almost done with House of Sky and Breath and just realised I very much needed a summary beforehand 😂✨

Do I really have the time in my busy, university-filled day, to watch Cari try to explain the plot line of a book series that I'll never read for over 2 hours? No. But will I waste every second of of the 2 hours that I could be study and instead watch this video? Hell yes!!! 😂

Cari!!! I thought this recap was perfect! I remember the first time I read the book when it came out, I did it in a 3-day-whirlwind-BINGE. I haven't been mentally or emotionally ready to dive back in for a second reading before starting the next book, but as you said, the plot is WILD and I knew I needed to brush up on the details because they will probably be relevant later. This felt like reading the book again with a friend that I could freak out with over the details! I feel ready to read the next book and have my mind melted. Thank you so much Cari :D

Now I know how I‘ll spent quarantine day #5 😅 I also watched both videos that inspired you to do this! Somehow I‘m a sucker for those types of video. There‘s something really relaxing about sitting there with a cup of tea and listening to someone explaining a series/book. Especially if I‘m familiar with the topic - so interesting to see, what I missed when I watched it.
