I keep saying this was written as a young adult book that she went back and added some cuss words and a little spice. Having said that, I love this series. They get better as she expands as an author. Your reviews are so on point!
I was actually shocked by the violence in ACOTAR. It’s the first “fantasy/romantasy” that I’ve read. I just finished ACOMAF two days ago and yep, it’s getting REAL GOOD. I’m pumped now for ACOWAR.
I am currently chewing through the beginning of this book. It's taken me months tbh. Knowing that this and the whole series, does, in fact, get better, is heartening. I picked it up at Costco not expecting much, but many of my friends have raved about the series. Your review is spot on for where I'm at currently in the book.... guess I just need to keep slogging to get to the "good stuff".
Great reference to the Tim MacGraw song. I haven't read it yet. I am not sure yet but I am thinking about it. Thanks for giving a male's perspective on it. I like hearing it.
My biggest issue is poorly and awkwardly written smut. I wonder if the smut in this series is as terrible as the smut she wrote in in her Throne of Glass series cause that scene with her and Rowan was just both poorly written and just gave me secondhand embarrassment for the characters. It felt like I was reading two teenagers relaying their first time rather than two people who had slept with others before
Hey, I really liked your review. I just found your channel and I see that it's very new. So you call it "Steven's Book Reviews" but so far you have only reviewed romantacy books. What is your favourite genres? Will you be reviewing books from other genres? You talk about originallity which I think it's a big issue with books. What is the most original book you've read recently? If you haven't read it, I recommend The Fifth Season by N.K. Jemisin.
I’m sure I’ll do other genres as well. I’ve been reading the books my social media followers are asking for. Neil Gaiman is my favorite. I find him to be the most original as well.
Book 2 is pretty much the highlight of the series. I believe book 1 was written to lure in fans of a lot of classic tropes and then book 2 flips the script. I don’t think many people have fond feelings over these books because of the first. Oddly it’s the middle child that is the most popular. I remember being dragged through the first one by a friend because I needed context for the next. I would say objectively it’s miles better but it’s still junk food overall, if that makes sense.
Heyyyy bestie, I would make some SLIGHT changes to your channel, such as the obvs adding a banner and having more CAPTIVATING thumbnailzzuh (like having exaggerated facial expressionzz) . The title of this VID is good but you could add a bigger hook like "A smut book review from the pov of a dude" Your pfp and intro are top notch so I wish you the best girliepop! 030
I have such mixed feelings about your comment. I do get your point as this is a click bait society we live in. But what I enjoyed in this video is how unbiased and honest Steven is and I think your tips would ruin that.
