Oil lamps were out of use almost entirely by 1850-1870ties BUT they they were replaced by KEROSENE lamps by 1870ties which were used widely up until PROBABLY 1950ties (electricity became widespread by then, and it was discovered in 1880s) I don't trust this author to actually know her lamps, but TECHNICALLY it's still possible to have kerosene lamps, cobblestone, electricity and motorcycles mashed up together 😂

I hate to be the one to bear this news, but pretty much every "but WHY" thing in this book can be answered with "because it's a fetish". specifically, varying levels of extreme BDSM. shackled to a wall after being tortured? classic sadism/bondage. sex after drowning? that's breathplay. very specific about "the kind of cage you would put a dog in"? petplay, baby. even the horrific elements in the fatphobic part are like, force feeding/sex slave/altered mind stuff, a combination that I have only otherwise stumbled across in my own morbid curiosity in one book that literally called itself something like "fuck sex slave on monster dong island", WHICH REALLY DID A BETTER JOB OF WARNING YOU "hey, heads up, this book is jam-packed with ALL my favorite highly dubious kinky shit, stop reading while you can" (which I did, that book was Not Good lmfao) I'm not saying this to be like "oh yeah, that's just kink, so calm down"/"your feelings are invalid" etc, but rather "that's kink, several elements of which and one in particular fall into the VERY EXTREME category, which you (the author) HAVE to be upfront about that kind of thing in your messaging when writing a book so that people who aren't into it/would be hurt by it know to avoid it". even with the list of TWs, I didn't clock that the violent bits were ALSO the sexy bits, so the overall fetishistic nature of the content did surprise me, also partially bc none of the other discussion videos I've seen went into detail about any of the sex scenes in the book. when you CW for kinks, you HAVE 👏 TO 👏 NAME 👏 THE 👏 KINKS!!👏 "CW tortureplay/sadism" is MUCH more specific than "gratuitous violence", that could mean literally anything here i assume the author is aware of the BDSM in the book and wrote it that way on purpose (actual quality of the writing/problematic elements non withstanding), but current social media algorithms (and tt in particular) don't really allow for niche success without letting it cross into the wider bookosphere. "YA fantasy romance adventure" is the base assumption, so "kinky BDSM fantasy romance" was never going to fly very well, even if the writing was actually like. good lmao. hopefully this is useful context, I know I find it easier to disengage with stuff I don't like once I realize there's fetish stuff I'm not into involved lmao. not my clowns not my circus etc

I totally get everything you’re saying and it makes sense entirely but I think the author approaches these things in the same ignorant, half baked way she did the mental health rep. I think she get ones little cluster of information on a topic and instead of trying to learn more about it so she can work it into the story in a nuanced, well informed and accurate way… she just shoves it in there without care or consideration. The other day I saw a post she shared on her IG recommending books that “feature a daddy kink” which is another fetish within the BDSM community but then she included The Wild by K. Webster in the list and while I think that book may ~appeal~ to people who enjoy the daddy kink… The Wild is actual incest romance between a father and his teenage daughter. And even if you don’t have a lot of knowledge about BDSM or DDLG or age play etc, a quick google search will bring you several well informed articles that make it very clear that daddy kink has nothing to do with incest or wanting to sleep with your actual father. This is just the freshest example I have of the author of this series being flippant with a community and language that she doesn’t have a true understanding of. That makes it hard to trust anything she does or writes.

@@weirdobookclub oh absolutely, "thing is kink actually" doesnt mean it's free of criticism. there's all kinds of kinks/fetishes/etc that hinge on things like racial stereotypes, ableism, cishet perceptions of evil gays, etc etc, and they're all rooted in/reflect on the cultural assumptions people often either don't realize they have or choose to ignore, which does a LOT of harm when its not taken as Not How Life Works Actually, and people absorb them as factual. I just find that it helps me personally to be aware of the possibility of "thing is intended as kink" so I know HOW to approach my criticism, bc otherwise I find it can be difficult to really have a productive conversation if it's talked about with a more average "the writer has unexamined assumptions that popped up in their writing, but they can do better if they're made aware of them and work to fix them" types of discussions, because "makes me horny" is an unfortunately compelling argument for a lot of people, including ones who don't do the work to engage in/write their kinky lit with reader safety in mind (the number of writers/artists I've had to block because they refused to let go of their racialized fetish preferences, PHEW). I was also mostly astounded that, from what I can tell by the other comments, this book is SOAKED THROUGH with kink, down to the one random conversation with the maternal figure queen lady doing some dommy mommy degradation/praise type stuff, and I haven't seen anyone bring it up before your "now I can be down for some kinky stuff, but-" comment in the video lmao. absolutely buckwild for this book to have gotten spread around so much

You know, even if they don’t have TV or radio or whatever, which would make no sense, wanna know what they do have? Portraits. The common person should know what the leader looks like as a focus of reverence in a dystopian society. It’s why the Party in 1984 created Big Brother, it makes no sense that she wouldn’t know:

I love the way you play with your hair when you read excerpts. It really adds to the whole "emulating a YA protag" vibe. I love it. And your "I'm done with life" faces when you're fed up with this shit. Which is always. But. Like. FAIR. Also, as someone who has an embarrassing amount of difficulties picking up a lot of subtleties/dog whistles in any sort of media, the fact that the whole Dark Elves thing even made ME go ".....wait. That sounds kinda sus..." THE LOUDEST SCREAM THAT'S EVER BEEN SCRUNKED! I CRIED, OML!!! There's such a problem with YA novels and their authors not realizing just how fucking painful torture is. Have these people ever stubbed their fucking TOE before? That shit's bad enough, and that's only painful for a few seconds at most. Skylenna is SUCH a terrible fucking name. I CANNOT take ANYTHING seriously with that. Even if the book itself WAS any good, her fucking name would make it a moot point. And the sex scene where the problematic Love Interest groans that name is just.....ugh. I hate it..... What is WITH the "magic system" in this book? I keep asking myself wtf all this shit is. Like, between the Dark Elves and Albatross being able to project that shit onto Skylenna like hypnosis or something it makes me wonder what even is with this shit "magic system"? The return of those guys immediately made me think the author feels like guys are easily forgiven despite any atrocities they may commit. But God Fucking Forbid a woman wear anything that doesn't cover her from head to toe while simultaneously talking to the protagonist's Love Interest. :/ Final Note: I hate that these books have Puppet/Marrionette-related titles. Puppets and Marrionettes are cool and fuck this horrible author for having those words in the titles of her books. (Which aren't even related to the books themselves, either. like. what is WITH that?????)

Shocking that she wouldn't explain further. It's almost like the author has no idea what she's doing 🤪

This book is derivative in the oddest ways. The elves and the great hall and large bearlike man (not to mention receiving gifts and boons) follow both general folklore/adventure tales but specifically two points in the original Hobbit book. The specific way they go about 'mental illness gives you super powers' is very reminiscent of the noxious stereotypes and other details in Split/Glass Shyamalan duology. Baffling. ETA: the fact that Dessen carved egotistical gestures into the torturer's forehead and then just let him go makes him the most useless entity that ever did step a foot on earth. The paternalistic murder of women so men don't have to be troubled by what's happening to them is repeatedly celebrated, but when he was free enough to mutilate this guy, he stopped there. What he cared about was turning him into an expression of his power.

It initially felt like reevaluating the methods used at the asylum was a goal but they got away from that. Running from Demechnef was a goal until they -_- decided they needed their help? I hate it so much but I honestly have no clue.

Great vid! But real talk the sexual harassment in the restaurant industry is…rough at best.

stop this or I will cry 🥹

person with partial did here to add something else (ik someone else commented on the sexual alter thing, which is something i have!) but animal alters are also a thing! i know the joke about the snake alter was made without ill intentions but it's just something i wanted to clarify bc it made me a little uncomfortable. animal alters can come about for any multitude of reasons, but uh...as far as getting special abilities from them? god i only WISH. why tf cant i breathe underwater come on

The joke wasn’t aimed at animal alters, it was aimed at claiming to be able to breathe underwater or do magical, impossible things while that alter is in place but I am sorry my joke made you uncomfortable, that was not my intent.

@weirdobookclub i knew the joke wasn't meant to be harmful, so it's totally okay! no hard feelings or anything like that 🩷 this is still an extremely awful book and you're so brave for going through it, thank you for your hard work

Wait I forgot, is this self published? Because it really doesn’t seem like an editor took a look at it, from some of the excerpts you showed.

Some of the descriptions of things sound like the writer was really trying their hardest to write a particular kind of very descriptive/‘beautiful’ prose not many writers can pull off. The way this writer tried to write this really isn’t my cup of tea though. I think they failed to really write in that style in my personal opinion. I should know, have tried writing like that before. I suck at it. My personal style of writing is more to the point.

It is self published, she is listed as the publisher on Amazon at least. It would have to be, I would be so disappointed if a publishing team had their eyes on this and thought it would be a good idea. Yikes. I agree about the writing style, she was definitely trying to do something and it just did not land.

Please. PLEASE consider doing Priest. It’s smut, not horror like you like, but omg. I need your rant on this.

@@weirdobookclub it honestly blows my mind that someone wrote this, and then re-read it (and obviously did zero edits), and then said “yeah, I should charge people money for this.” Like 🤯🤯🤯

I can’t speak for anyone with DID but this author is grossly irresponsible and deluded if she thought this was acceptable to publish in ANY state.

I wish I could tell you. It has no relevance whatsoever as of completing the second book but if I finish, I will keep you posted if it ever becomes relevant 💀

What the actual fuck is this universe lol, it's so ridiculously disjointed and not explained, how do they have Christianity and yet seem to not be part of our world??

id also choose to save the dog tbf xD

I was wondering how this could get worse. Now I know. Thanks. XD

Sometimes I feel incompetent and scared about publishing the fic I want to. But then I remember if someone like this can do so, maybe I can too.

I’ve watched this maybe 5 times in the last week, you are a hilarious genius 👏 I would love more rant videos but also don’t want you to have to subject yourself to this level of crap.
