I feel this! I have literally put off watching these videos for 2 months because of the way this series stresses me out. Wild stuff, good and bad but mostly concerning. I would never read this book (rage quit or something) but it's so interesting hearing about them.

I just absolutely adore the way you tell those stories - part kindergarten teacher, part best girlfriend on a night out, part scandalised reporter. It's absolutely delightful and really soothes me. Thank you!

Rhysand's entry is so outrageously dramatic. I love him 😭

I feel like this book actually had themes I'd like to see more in fantasy - a very young woman (19) questioning whether immediate marriage is right for her despite her head over heels fairytale romance, how even a loving relationship can become toxic or abusive when the power dynamic is unhealthy, how PTSD can completely destroy any hope of normalcy and intimacy because romance doesn't fix trauma, the fuckery being immortal would do to one's mental health (especially for a human, who's literally lost their identity and species, and may never be able to return to her family because of it) and how being perpetually stuck at an age where your brain isn't done developing, your hormones are raging and you've barely had any time to figure out your own goals and identity could be less than ideal. I could genuinely see that being a really good, tragic, heartbreaking story of two people growing apart, struggling with the responsibilities of the court, political drama, the juxtaposition of being at the physically strongest she's ever been in her life and the mentally and emotionally weakest she could possibly be. Unfortunately, the author was more preoccupied with smut and her own ships than actually exploring those themes well and doesn't have the skill anyway, so we got this instead lol. She clearly tried SO hard to 180 and make Tamlin a super bad guy, but most of the time he's acting very reasonably considering the situation at hand, while Feyre is both uneducated and uncaring of the risks involved and just wants to be the protagonist who gets everything she wants as soon as she wants it. Not that she should have stayed with him, but a lot of the time, it really seem like the traumatized pot calling the PTSD kettle black.

It’s always bugged me that Feyre is allowed to have PTSD but not Tamlin. She does such a good job with Feyre too, like I could relate to the feeling of being too tainted for something like live and marriage, and to the way it feels like life revolving around you without your participation. And yet with Tamlin his PTSD is demonized from the start. Yes his actions at the end were awful, but Farrah NEVER took the time to communicate with him!!

ACOMAF: How To Commit Character Assassination in Under 700 Pages. For realsies, though, one thing that always bothers me about Sara J. Maas's writing is that her characters are either evil or they're not. And sometimes you think they're evil, but actually, they're the most perfect person in creation (Rhys), or you think they're great, but actually, they're terrible and deserve nothing but endless misery (Tam). She's gotten a bit better at instilling grey areas in Nesta's book, but then again, in redeeming Nesta, she nerfed Feyra and Rhys as characters...soooo, I guess she didn't, actually. Welp!

All I’ve gotten from this is that the spring court is Ba Sing Se, but rated R.

I really liked these books in high school, but hindsight made me realize how strange/problematic/other descriptor they could be. Kinda spoiler: Yes, Tamlin did treat Feyre horribly, etc etc. But in this book, and a lot in the next, it becomes a theme to brush aside/make fun of Tamlin's PTSD just because his PTSD turned him to being creepily protective over Feyre. Yes, what he did was horrible. But this man needed therapy, needed to learn how to be okay with himself and not cling desperately onto the person he loves to their relationship's detriment. It's actually a realistic PTSD response, all things considered. It just wasn't addressed and handled in a way that would be for the better of Feyre, Tamlin, and the reader. That being said, Rhysand is still my favorite. Oops.

Something something he realized he became the monater and it was not th curse, an she couldnt help him with that , he needed to help himself and face his demons, no matter hoe long it took, thil the, they needed to seperate, as much as it hurts. And just jet him go out on a good note. That the just went seoperate ways and that they have enough drama already. Like have a downwards spiral and realizing that they need distance, with the exploding he does. And that to help her and himself, he first had to let her go and they care for themselves?! Like he isnt a monster, and he should be really be bette and be just a traumatized person that realizes they cant be coependent and neglected , and grow apart.

your explanation of feyre’s emotions make her so likeable

So, I have a theory about why Sarah is describing everyone as the most beautiful. Majority of the book is from Feyre's point of view. She has pretty low self esteem. She thinks everyone is more talented, more essential, more important, and more beautiful than her. So that being said SHE thinks everyone is the most beautiful she's ever seen, not necessarily Sarah herself. Just a thought.

@@danawalter259 That’s the shit that gets me. So many people say oh but Tamlin’s traits were foreshadowed, what he did was inexcusable, he doesn’t deserve therapy, but many of those people won’t stop excusing Rhys’ also horrific actions. Both of them had valid explanations for their behavior which I agree shouldn’t be *excuses* but I can’t stand the pedestal Rhys gets put on while Tamlin gets villified - THAT is why it feels like the author just decided Rhys was hotter and to go for him instead. Tamlin’s behavior in book 2 also probably wouldn’t have shocked as many if his Book 1 overprotectiveness and mildly condescending nature wasn’t *basically the norm for YA lover interests.* A shitty norm but a norm nonetheless. I COULD believe that SJM wanted to show people that this behavior is actually a red flag, except I’m pretty sure she writes plenty of other love interests like this where it’s supposed to be romantic. So no, I don’t think this was clever foreshadowing and subversion, I think this was genuine character assassination and making light of his PTSD. Feyra shouldn’t be stuck with either of these dudes and this bullshit, these people all need to work on fixing themselves first before they make it more complicated.

Let’s not forget how amazing Mor was getting Feyre out of there. A queen. Also, was waiting for the Muse song from Twilight to play for the hold on Rhys’ image. Lol. Stupid copyrights.

Ok the music additions made these a MILLION times more entertaining!

Name a better duo than Rhys and his invisible specks of dust

when i tell you i WHEEZED

I hate that Sarah didn't write Tamlin and Feyre getting through their past together. Instead she flipped his character and destroyed him. Even after everything, I love Tamlin.

What I didn't really get about this book is she felt so terribly about the fairies she killed but Claire's body pinned to a wall because of her doesn't evoke the same emotions???

I just figured it was because she didn't die by Feyres hands personally that she wasn't traumatized by it but that's all speculation

Im loving this story arc so much more than the first book.. I was honestly not a fan Tamlin at all at any point...Rhysand was the obvious choice imo as someone who has never read and never will read this series but love watching you and other talk about it ❤

This is book where I wanted to set fire to the fact I had to buy this. I hated this book, because the first while it had its issues, actually had a story to it that was outside Sarah’s usual nonsense. Then she had a hard on for her own character Rhysand, made people think that molesting a naked woman he drugged to the point she couldn’t remember her lap dancing in front of an entire country of people was, “for her own good and protection”. I’m sorry wtf what????????????? I was disgusted by this books retconning, making a SA survivor relive her assault in front of a court that hates her and “like it”…and yet have her be upset someone wants to keep her safe from the man who did it to her????? The man who twisted her arm when it was broken with her bone sticking out to force a bargain with her???? Ew ew ew renew ew ew. Tamlin in book 1 is supposed to be a sensitive character, who writes poems, loves his people despite not wanting to rule, cried over that broken faerie, was saddened by Rhysand sending a head of his court people to his doorstep and yet somehow, he becomes what he becomes. I hate this book. I hate this series in vernal but this book is where it starts. And then the series just gets worse. That said I LOVE YOUR VIDS IDK HOW YOU DO THIS WITH THAT SMOOTH ANGELIC VOICE OF YOURS. To think i could laugh while listening to a recap of one of if not the worst book I’ve ever read? I love you.

I was shocked when Cari said it's arguably everyone's favorite because I hate this book for the same reason. I much prefer the sequel because it's about Nesta telling everyone they suck because they do ❤️

@@LuMichelini She's actually right if you look at the fandom. They prefer this book because it goes back to the stereotypical nonsense Sarah writes. The first book in the series was as far from her usual stuff that gets posted as it could get, and this was back to the old habits lol But yes, to me is the worst and everything after it is bad...so much retconning, lore changes etc all to make rhys look cool despite the clear...assault he does on characters. anyway, thanks for agreeing with me

As someone who starts books, reads half of them, doesn't read for a bit, and then forgets, I have to say thank you. your summaries make it really easy to just watch and stop whenever I stopped reading it.

That picture of the Attor is sending me 🤣

I'm so sorry to say you're going to have to do this with the entire series, because I'm completely addicted now. The way you explain what's happening is so entertaining and has me completely wrapped, and I never intend to actually read this series, but I MUST know what happens.

These summaries make me wish I could reads these books just for Lucien he seems so interesting

Loved it!!! Can't wait for the next parts. I've rewatched your previous ones a few times already, it's so calming and gets me through my work day!

Absolutely THRIVING at your deep dives. I read this series but it's so fun watching you recap them

Well. Upon 3rd listen (0 reads; haven’t even touched a cover), I think it’s also important to acknowledge that Tamlin spent all of ACOTAR constructing a situation in which Feyre falls in love with him. All the little snippets she “overheard” him and Lucien discussing, the crumbs of tragic backstory, etc.

Wait, I don't think that was the goal in the first book. The "overhearing" information was a way for her to figure out the curse and why they can't speak about it. The tragic backstory was just that, a part of his backstory, that he didn't elaborate. He didn't even mention how they died or who was responsible, not to mention he even said that his father and brothers deserved it. I honestly believe that everything we learned in this book about rhys and tamlins families was just a way to villainize tamlin and victimize rhysand.

I’ve never even held a SJM book but I will absolutely watch 6+ hours of a recap of a book series I’ve never read and never will read

You do a great job on these videos. I'm sure they are a lot of work and the edits you have been adding are really the cherry on top.

I love this series of videos from you, congrats on the effort and quality 🔥 you keep going girlll

That I Need a Hero moment/detail was SO GOOD my brain had a hard time believing it was happening 😂 god that made me laugh! Well done Cari, I've read all the books (except the latest) and I am enjoying this so much!!

I love love love your voice your script writing. and you made it so easy for me understand it better and it felt like listening to a story second hand in the best way possible. I used to tell stories exactly like this to my friends on my school bus, sharing the stories' I read or shows I saw in detail. I don't have many friends who read atm so this took me back to my school days and gave me so much nostalgia. so thank you so so much. I couldn't care more about this books plot or the writing other than the second book and your format was a gem to find. do it for more books please!! you got this book summary thing that no other youtuber is getting it right, staying objective but letting the listener form their opinion is brilliant. there is something about the way you talk about them, so just keep it up its very original and niche. you get the plot, the details and the summary so concise and to the point its perfection. it was a pleasure to listen to all your summaries thank you.😃

I have been waiting for sooooooo long for this!!! Thank you Cari! No matter that I already read the whole series! These are the best videos about them there is!

These types of videos make my day! Thank you so much for making them, I love hearing you talk for hours about a book I’ve read and loved 🥰 I know it must be so hard to make them so thank you 🙏 ☺️

Actually had the ACOTAR series sitting in my TBR for the longest time and finally decided to start reading in order to watch your first video on ACOTAR. Happy to say I’ve now finished the entire series and I can’t wait to go through the entire recap through your videos!

these are my favorite videos on the internet

i laughed throughout this entire video 😭💜 i love how you describe everything, especially lucien’s scenes. he’s so unbothered yet bothered 💀

This is so great because I get to understand all the TT videos and references without trying to struggle through SJM's writing style. You're delivery style is hilarious btw, i love it so much.

I freaking love these videos, they bring me so much joy. Also the audiobooks say some of these names so differently lol. Ianthe, that one is crazy

Omg I was waiting for this! Love your videos Cari you always make me laugh and give me nostalgia of this messy books lol

Im so interested in watching you explain the whole season rather than reading it because you literally make this 1000% better! pls keep doing this

OMG these books carried me through 11th grade when I was super depressed- I read them and reread them and decorated my whole room on the style of the night court. And these recaps make me so unbelievably happy

I’ve literally read this whole series but I can hear you talk about it for hours! I love your voice I think you’re so funny and I absolutely just love all of this! I’m listening to your crescent city one now but slowly cause I’m actually reading along with that ine

Nooo I love the longer videos! Also I’m counting this as reading and I love your breakdowns lol 🤪

THE TIME HAS COME, YAY!! Thank you so much for this- pure distilled entertainment straight to my veins!! Love your work 💜💜
