The way they discover that Elain is a fucking SEER, and that’s that. Why they don’t help her to use her abilities? The girl, although being in her catatonic state, grieving for the life that it was taken from her, tried to help somehow. With her visions, the idea to talk with Graysen to ensure shelter for the humans, with the Suriel, like how she managed to find him trough the world?! They only super protect her and don’t gives her a chance. They send her as far away from the battlefield as possible, only to have to winnow and stab Hybern. They tell Nephelle's story, that what we think is our weakness can be our greatest strength, and that the least likely person can save the day, but they totally ignore Elain.

So the solstice thing, basically Ianthe wanted her moment in the sun (literally) and marked the spot for her to stand to make it look like the sun was rising in her hands she had raised above her head. Very dramatic, the theatrics with her. All Feyre had to do was move the rock a few feet over with some wind power and boom, now the first light of the sun is on herself. She chose a white dress she looks holy almost. She also managed to have the only person next to her be Lucian, so that is the initial spark of Tammy boy feeling all wtf about her and Lucian.

Little tid bit for Cari and everyone - when Amren says, “When I am free, don’t run. It will attract my attention.” That is 100% a reference to Peter S. Beagle’s novel “The Last Unicorn.” The unicorn says a similar line to Schmendrick the Magician (you won’t have heard of him) after they have freed a harpy (along with a bunch of non-magical creatures) from Mommy Fortuna’s Midnight Carnival and are trying to escape. “You must never run from anything immortal. It attracts their attention.” In the book, the unicorn, an immortal herself, is transformed into a human by a spell, and her love story is eventually thwarted by the need for her to transform back into her true form. I love that Amren is basically a dark, gothic love letter to that story. Maybe??? Ok that’s all! I love these vids! Thank you for making them!

I understand your criticism and I think there’s some merit to painting Feyre as someone who can do no wrong (which SJM does a bit of with her main characters) HOWEVER, Feyre started out as a character who sacrificed EVERYTHING for her family. This series is about Feyre learning to fight for herself and her happiness. I don’t like the whole “good grief my protagonist has morally grey areas this is terrible!” stance - especially with women - because there seems to be an inherit belief that women must take everything in stride with grace and I just think that perpetuates something unfair. Let female characters rage, let them be selfish and make mistakes. It’s not like she gets off the hook totally - when Feyre gets the ouroboros it shows her that her true self IS monstrous (I know Cari didn’t cover it in this video but that’s what happened) and Feyre faced that. SJM, on some level, is showing us that Feyre is not a perfect character and she has some unlikable qualities. That doesn’t mean that she doesn’t deserve to fight for her happiness, no matter the cost. (Also, what breakup is not messy? Tamlin and Feyre eventually reconcile, but I don’t fault SJM for making their fallout a bit ugly. I mean, it happens - heartbreak sucks. They both hurt each other. I think people painting it as “SJM just treats Tamlin like a punching bag because she likes Rhys better” is just not a good take. Tamlin’s fallout is very realistic for an abusive man irl, they will do ANYTHING to get the upper hand over their partners, and her writing in Tamlin’s redemption arc (with him helping Feyre bring back Rhys) is more than men like him will do in real life. Idk, I just think Tamlin’s character arc is reasonable, and Feyre’s treatment of him was not the best, no - but neither was Tamlin’s treatment of her. It’s complicated, just like real life, and I appreciate that. Not every protagonist is a role model, a lot of people seem to struggle with viewer discretion. Yeah, Feyre has some faults and doesn’t make the kindest choices towards Tamlin. But he broke her heart and abused her, she’s rightfully torn up and a little vengeful about it. However, they reached a point of forgiveness, and I, for one, enjoyed the messy journey it took to get there.

He was only “cheated” on bc he abused Feyra pretty severely/ignored her needs from the trauma she also experienced, which is bs considering what she did for him. Literally he also almost killed her. Experiencing trauma does NOT give someone any right to dump that on anyone else. Rhysand was far, far more traumatized than Tamlin was and he didn’t do anything of the sort to Feyra. So yeah fuck Tamlin. I think he needed to be treated like this *SMALL SPOILER ALERT* to apologize and start treating Feyra with respect again once he encounters her later.

after reading acotar i stopped reading the series but these vids had me picking up the next two 😭 i owe u my life thank you for your service

SAME I said I’d never finish this series and read books 2+3 in a week 😭😭

I know how many long hours it must take you to write up these videos. They are absolutely my favorite part of your channel, but I know the ad revenue doesn’t cover the effort you put into making them. I hope this helps and I really encourage others to do the same if you like this content. Please consider doing more of these types of videos. They make me smile unlike anything else. It’s been a hard week for me and this made everything so much better. Thank you! ❤️

Girl these videos are getting me through the December slump I’m getting all the escapism from these ridiculous books but don’t have to tolerate the sjm nonesense you’re truly doing gods work

I just cried for a story and characters I didn't particularly want to know more about when trying to read the first book. You are the most amazing storyteller, Cari, and I cannot wait to continue with your Crescent City summaries and all others that you will hopefully put out! I'm so glad I found your channel this year :D

I feel as if I’ve been waiting my entire life for this video. The dopamine hit I got from the thumbnail alone 🥺

These videos have been the highlight of my free time & I’m really thankful for all of your hard work on them, they’re so funny and the bat boys intro song gets me every time💀💀 anywayss you’re literally the reason I’ve started reading again & I hope ur doing well cari! Tysm ☺️!!

girl, you are everything, that braxis part (1:34:00) got me laughing so hard

One thing I love about these videos is that you try to stay objective. You of course lean toward opinions, but you try to keep it up to the viewer which is unique among the booktubers I’ve found and why I keep coming back to this channel above all the others

Thanks! I personally wouldn’t mind if you kept going with the series 👀. This was amazing thanks for the hard work !

Cari thanks so much for these videos. I've never given money before but felt the hours of entertainment and countless times I've rewatched these, that I needed to give something back. Can't wait to watch this, as I've been dying to know the ending!!

I literally just consumed 9+ hours of content about a book I’ve never read and I was ENGAGED and loved every minute of it. I’d love it if you made a breakdown of the The Cruel Prince series that is kinda similar to this one

I'm going to read the books just because of all your work. You did great! Loved your videos and I'm going to stay here from now on (Sorry for not giving much, dollars are expensive in my country)

My partner and I got so excited for every installment of these videos- thank you so much for summarizing one of my favorite series in such an enjoyable way. I'm so, so glad you made these!!

Girl, THREE & A HALF HOURS??? This is gna keep me company all evening thank you for your service 🙏🏽

“Jurian…two eyeballs in tow” 😂I died DEAD

38:29 the scream i scrumpt, IM CRYING that’s one of my favorite tiktok sounds. You do such a fantastic job reviewing these books. I actually want to read them now, but do I even need to. You’ve said it all.

Thank you for all the hard work on these! Was fun baking and crocheting while gasping at the story twists with you ☺️

This was truly the slayest of all slays. obsessed that this video is exactly 3 hours 33 minutes and 33 seconds long. probably going to watch this on repeat. I could listen to you talk about the next book or any book! In love with your earrings!!

Okay okay okay. Am I getting this right? Our protagonist uses her intimate knowledge of her former partner's trauma and weaknesses in order to manipulate him into a further mental spiral and thereby defeat him. And she's... a good person for this? Don't get me wrong, Tam Lin's arrogance and refusal to admit to a problem has made him an abusive person. But he seems to be more of a tragic anti-hero rather than an outright villain and driving him to further abuse isn't a good thing?? Didn't you love this man? Just because you're not 'in love' anymore doesn't mean you don't care about his well being anymore right? In another story this would be a cue toward wanting to save him from himself, or try and make him come back to the Light Side. Tam Lin has been absent a whole book, he's clearly not the main villain. Yes he's allying with the bad guy out of desperation and delusion but that does not make him irredeemable or deserving of this level of abuse? What... am I missing something or? This sort of betrayal and manipulation could very well break someone and drive them to suicide I don't- Yes he's done horrible things but so has Rhysand?

Same brain. Still upset with how obvious it is that Rhysand showed up in Sarah's head and suddenly Tamlin had to be hated (as well as Lucien) as if they aren't kind of similar except that Rhysand is just...vocally more of a pos... Neither of them are great, but the treatment Tamlin gets for trying is pretty bad.

Yes but you see feyre is a Good Person so everything she does is justified and if she treats someone poorly (or straight up kills them) it's because they Deserved It. While tamlin is, at least after book 1, a Bad Person so he must always be in the wrong, especially when it comes to anything to do with feyre and the night court folks.

@kaisea I love you!!! This is my point!! Tamlin wasn’t right for Feyre ok good! Fine, she moved on. But Tam didn’t get a patient healing person, just hardcore revenge! Rhys was so patient with Feyre after she called him horrible names, consistently didn’t thank him for worshipping her in love, gifts, and status (not even an acknowledgment lol until chap 54)! Rhys continued to help her through her bad attitude and brat behavior bc of her trauma! I can’t with Feyre guys. Mor and Amren are my heroes and baddies

He was working with that evil king who kidnapped her sisters and threw them into the cauldron. And he did some shit to her in the beginning of ACOMAF too, I think she had every right to hate him.

Hi Cari! I wanted to express my gratitude to you for this series! I wish I could give you more (I’m but a humble barista), because this has not only given me hours of enjoyment, but also reignited my interest in the entire ACOTAR series. The way you convey the characters’ dialogue to the audience is so genuine and each character has a unique voice. You did amazing with this series and I can’t wait to see more plot summary videos, if you’d like to keep making them. Thanks again for giving us a more accessible introduction to, imo, a very fun and emotionally thrilling fantasy!

honestly the whole miriam and drakon story basically being Moses parting the red sea and the book of breathings canonically being in hebrew/aramaic was one of the major things that really took me out of the story. same with the bone carver and weaver being siblings with an immortal death god from actual russian folklore. felt like sjm was running out of ideas and she could have just left this stuff out entirely instead. also rhys and feyre always being 10 steps ahead was cute and smart at first but it got tiring when they were CONSTANTLY ahead of the reader. anyway, love the recap!

like when they're all mystified by this ancient language in the book of breathing and amren is like.. "it hasn't been spoken in thousands of years" all spooky and amren-y and then she's calls it "lashon hakodesh" which is "the Holy Tongue" in hebrew and literally just what old torahs were written in. it just rly took me out of the "fantasy" world

Yeah, and Amren is the Angel of Death who passes over the houses of the Hebrew who leave lamb's blood on their doorways. She says she is a 'messenger,' which translates literally in both Hebrew and Greek to 'angel,' and that she was an assassin for a wrathful God. She drinks blood, and lamb is her favorite. When she goes hunting through Velaris, people leave blood at their doors to propitiate her. Calanmai is Beltane, the summer festival later on is Lughnasa, Miryam and Drakon live in Crete, everyone in northern isles mythology from King Arthur to Fionn mac Cumhaill is mentioned by myth in these stories. Look at the map. The story of the Harp being able to open doors to Other Places, and Angel of Death Amren, Koschei the Deathless Russian fairytale guy, Tarquin the High Lord of Summer with his Roman King name, Helion whose name is Greek for Sun, it's all meant to reflect our world. It's meant to be a place on the other side of the veil. It's meant to be faintly familiar. That's kind of the point.

Thank you so much for these! Please consider doing the rest of this series or The Red Queen series (after a much deserved mental break😂)

I (21 M) have been binging these with my girlfriend. I have not read any of these books, but I can not put into words how much I enjoy these videos. I am far from your average viewer, but I can not emphasize how happy it would make me to get an acosof video. Just wanted to throw that out there.

Hope all is okay. ♥️ Thanks for making these.

I remember watching readwithcindy’s reviews of these books and being like damn never gonna read those but the fairy dick sounds wild- glad I got to experience more of the book series and understand a bit more of the actual plot organization through your videos. You’ve been keeping me company as a podcast during work and it’s been a wild ride, thank you!

Finally finished this godforsaken trilogy yesterday (this book in particular was a SLOG that had me taking many breaks between reading) and I think the only scene that gave me any true sense of emotion/sorrow was with the Suriel. SJM never produces any real sense of fear or tension cause everyone important survives these deadly injuries/literally comes back to life. But I really did tear up a bit at the suriel’s death.

I've wanted to know more about ACOTAR since I've been seeing cosplays and stuff everywhere. When I tell you that this was the best and most entertaining way I could've possibly imagined experiencing this story, I am not exaggerating. I love these videos so much. Thank you for sharing. I would personally love if you did the other book (since I honestly was completely bamboozled by the plots of these ones and can only imagine what the other ones have in store and would love to hear about them), but if you do not want to I will not come to your house and hold you hostage or anything. I have honestly been pacing and ranting to my roommate every few minutes. "Her WEDDING DAY?? Her DAD?? SOUP??" It's been a wonderful experience (and I would never have read the super long smutty books so thank you again).

Why do I remember this series being longer than just a trilogy? I think I've gotta blame it on how damn long this last one is... but hey, congratulations on finally making it here!

well technically there are 2 more books, A Court of Frost and Starlight as well as A Court of Silver Flames. ACOSF is more about Nesta and Cassian though. A Court Frost and Starlight is like the filler holliday episode in every anime.

Please do the rest of the series!!! Your video is an oasis whenever I have a bad day at work. I don't have enough time to read for leisure but you're making it possible!

Cari! As a fellow redhead and book lover these videos are an absolute treat. Thank you for all the work you’ve put into these :)

Cari, I want to thank you so much for all you do, wither it's on this channel or your main channel, your videos have helped me so much over these last two years, either watching you explore Korea or finding great book inspiration and recommendations or watching this beautiful series of acotar or crescent city, I just want to say from the bottom of my heart thank you for providing a safe space for me to find joy and happiness in this crazy world

Thank you so much for these videos Cari! These videos have been the most delightful experience ever!!! I had never read ACOTAR so I decided I’d start, but what I did was read a few pages and then watch your recount of the events and it made me *squeal* even more as I worked through book1, book2 and now…book 3. Thank you for taking the time to make these as they have been the absolute highlight of my life these past weeks…please don’t stop before ACOSF!
