Let me share my thoughts about Sarah J Maas and her cloned books: I guess that these are the result of two elements put together. First, an editorial market which knows what little pre-adolescent girls want (cuz I've been doing research about general opinions they have about ToG and ACOTAR, and trust me, they LOVE THEM). Second, Sarah started with this sh*t when she was a teenager, like many people, making shallow fanfictions full of smut and magic powers and fully described dresses and astonishingly beautiful guys and ladies. Time passed, she started publishing officially, but editors knew this teenage pretentious girlish fanfic-like novels sell a lot, so they didn't suggested Sarah to improve her writing, prose, structure, or even maturity. So she keeps writing as if she still was a 14 year old with lots of wet fantasies. Consequence? Well, a teenage, even if I don't want to generalize, usually gets bored of everything pretty fast. So, here we have a story with a lady with certain powers and abilities, but the author quickly gets bored of that and starts to give her new magic, and heritage, and other species' characteristics. She has a certain amount of love interests, but the author gets bored of them so she starts giving her many other hot disposable guys who love her and could be easily replaced. She have a certain mission as an survivor assassin, but the author gets bored of that sh*t easily so she starts making up another megalomaniac plot about saving the world from demons. She even has a bombastic name, but the author gets bored and changes it completely for some other long high-flown aristocratic name with many surnames and titles and whatever. So, that's what I think. Sarah J Maas writes stories where she can be like a child in a candy shop and she can be like a goddess and everything she creates turns around her and can be changed when she feels like whenever she get bored of it, going against every logic.

The only person, out of who ends up being the somewhat 'core' group, that doesn't have a love interest at the end is because they died. I remember reading the last book and thinking that was the only reason that Gavriel even dies is that she didn't have a love interest for him.

I’m responding to so many comments but EXACTLY!! I hated Gavriel he literally did nothing but he had no reason to die. He was killed off because SJM felt like she needed to kill someone. Everyone had to have a ‘mate’ in the books every though they’re super rare. She had to make Manon date Dorian even though they barely have any chemistry besides Dorian flirting with her like he flirts with everyone. She had to have everyone date someone else. Don’t even talk about Aedion and Lysandra it made NO sense. Everyone had to be romantically involved or they died. She also does this in her other series ACOTAR.

As if Nehemia wasn't already a rebel leader and the only black character in the series.

This author really has no excuse for not looking into battle strategies.

If I recall correctly Dorian possesses wild magic, so he could shape that into shifting.

25:02 this was explained in Empire of Storms (5th book). The lock has to be closed by on of Mala's bloodline. Mala was the fire goddess who fell in love with the Fae Brannon and they founded the kingdom Terrassen. Elena, one of their children, married Garvin, the founder of the kingdom Adarlan. This makes both, Aelin and Dorian, heirs to Mala and with this they are both able to close the lock. Because of this, Dorian's father was in the end able to close the lock. It was just only focused on Aelin because ... she's the main one.

ToG's cinderella roots can be traced back to its "original" draft on Fictionpress, which Sarah wrote as a teenager. In that Celaena works as a maid, goes to a ball in glass slippers, etc. Even whole sequences from the 1950 Disney movie are reproduced whole-cloth against the backdrop of the setting that would be present in the published series. In between there's a lot of filler and immature drama. I read all of it. I don't want to roast one of the first things an author wrote, but I will say it's.... interesting, especially when you compare the differences between the FP version and the published version. (Spoiler. Dorian is a lot worse.)

I would recommend the book Second Hand Curses for some actual enjoyment. It is a part of the trend of retelling fairytales, but it had an interesting idea in that an A-team type of group was helping those stories reach a happy ending similiar to the ones found in Disney. Either way it is really short, about 8 or 9 hours on audible.

Sitting in a bus, resisting the urge to make driving game noises.

17:08 Dorian had raw magic. This was explained in Crown of Midnight (2nd book). This means he can perform any kind of magic, this includes shapeshifting :). And everyone has to learn how to use their magic in the world (what a bit deeper explained in Tower of Dawn). The magic is, if I remember correctly, kinda connected to the emotions of the people. Like every time Aelin is angry she can burn brighter. And the talking spider explains that shapeshifting is about change and letting go. But Dorian was not emotional stable in this book and was not able to let go. He felt guilty about what happened (especially to Sorscha) and this made it so hard for him to learn this ability (while he had not such huge problems with other kinds of magic like ice. It fits his character better). With this you can also understand why Lysandra was able to shapeshift immediately. She wanted change. She wanted to let go of the body which was used/raped over such a long time. Let's just all ignore the fact, that this would make him more powerful than Aelin (it's even mentioned in the books), so Aelin can continue to look like the most powerful badass.

I was waiting for this lol

I just watched nearly 3 hours of you talking about this series and I still don't know whith whom Aelin ended up. Did I just overhear it? Also I read the first part years ago and I'm very glad I didn't continue. I just found it boring. And it is very interesting to see that this doesn't sound even sounded like the series I began reading. Sure, twists are good but I guess you should be able to recognize the original story.

Same, and while I won't definitively say that the absence of the main character is why, I don't think it's a coincidence that suddenly the story is more enjoyable when she isn't in it...

Gone is a good series could be a bit shorter but overall decent The darkest minds I love but there's parts that I found genuinely challenging to get through The shadow of what was lost in total the audio books are like 90 hrs but I love some of the twists

Anyone else had that morbid/weird curiosity that pushed them to finish this series? Just me? Ok.

Kingdom of Ash more like KINGDOM OF A S S

Also I do think Sarah did give explanation to everything I guess... I mean I'm not saying the books aren't cringy and stuff like that... But I do think it's not as bad😅

a really good epic series is The Wormling series by Chris Fabry and Jerry Jenkins. It's got five books, but all are worth the read

I really enjoyed this! Keep it coming! You should read the Atlantis Gene trilogy, you'd enjoy it :)

You know what made me depressed? The Road.

Acotar is supposed to be a retelling of the folktale of tam lin, which of course is loose as hell and gets thrown away once she makes a character she rather have the protag kiss instead

Im a little late to the party but I think the whole "obsene gesture" was an attempt at humor, sorta like how sometimes bleeped out cussing can be funny in a show or whatever... Dont blame anybody that didnt see it that way though, the whole thing was executed terribly.

I did it... all 3 parts... this was fun :D

You actually made this book sounds better that it was. But to be fair, they talked a LOT about this damn dam before. Also, you mashed up the descriptions of Maeve and Erawan in previous instalment XD Erawan has now a young man’s …excuse me, ‘a golden-haired MALE’ body. Lysandra’s uncle, not Dad. I can clearly see that we share a trauma, and I really feel bad suggesting it, but you should make more notes if you are going to make a video out of it. From what I gathered ‘the Cinderella thing’ was about that the first book was originally Celaena/Dorian original ‘fanfiction’.

She isn't traditionally attractive, but looks like snow white, one of the most traditionally attractive woman in western history?

I'm very sorry that reading these gave you depression, but they give me hope because if something so sloppy can get published then maybe my works will have a fighting chance

Dreadlords? Is this the Burning Legion?

Tortured by a total sadist of a bad dude and that sadist did not go rapey. And, no psychological consequences to the one being tortured. 🤣🤣🤣 Hoorah.
