a very emotional rule of wolves reading vlog // *SPOILERS* 

please don't comment spoilers without a warning!! thanks!!

The video starting with her fan girling her David hits different 😭

Every time she gushed over David my heart hurt so bad

"this is all I ever wanted (...) thank u leigh bardugo, THANK YOU SO MUCH" me, who have already read the tragic outcome : poor girl, she's not ready for whats coming 🥺

Okay, no spoilers, but seeing you soooo excited in the beginning, KNOWING what would happen.... ALSO this whole video is SUCH a mood!!!!!!

***SPOILERS*** I seriously started crying when you said “David is hurt”. Oof it hurts! And Genyas grief ugh.

🚨SPOILERS (KINDA) 1000% agree with every point you made I just finished today and gahhhh?????? I don’t know how to feel??? Like I loved it but I want more?? I want less? Idk what I want but I want better for Nina and a Zoyalai wedding or at least a peak into their life ruling together. The crows cameos were *chefs kiss* but I still want more of Inej on her ship 😌

Omg. I just finished this series a couple of weeks ago and I couldn't stop laughing at your reaction. And also the last criticism. Mayu's pov has some of my fav lines in the series. I think I felt it too with Issak in KoS. We just got so used to seeing these Kings, Generals and these really powerful people that sometimes we forget that there are normal people in this universe too. Mayu's pov was a reminder that there are Soldiers in war and there is a direct impact on the people (not that we didn't know that, but it was really focused here and it made the war scenes feel like there's more gravity to them). The Shu plot line of the story was important to follow because it shows signs of real peace for Ravka. With Princess Ehri and all the things she's been through, it gives us the hope that Ravka doesn't need to actually serve on temporary treaties and can actually hope to have good relations with other countries. And Nina's ending. I always thought it was interesting (also bittersweet cause I love Zoya and Nina and Genya together 💙). I think the day Matthias died, Nina Zenik died too. The scene in CK where she lays down with Matthias like a body, Nina lost a part of herself. And when we met her again, she was a different person (quite literally). Her being Queen is the best way for her to succeed in her mission. She obviously was already doing great with the whole Saints situation with the people, now she has more of a chance. This was her purpose and she's got to pay some price for it. And, even if Matthias didn't die that day, this is the exact ending I imagine for Nina. Cause she was going to come to Fjerda and change their minds, with Matthias. She'd have become Mila eventually and Matthias and her could be King and Queen, considering Matthias is a Druskelle and after Dragon Zoya, everyone thinks like him now. I agree that Hanne and Nina's relationship was rushed. I didn't really feel all that much. Thank you for reading my essay.

GIRL I FINISHED READING IT AT LIKE ONE AM AND I SWEAR TO GOD I FEEL YOU ON A SPIRITUAL LEVEL

YOU AT THE END OF THE BOOK WAS LITERALLY ME JSHDJWHDHWHBFBD

I just finished RoW but literally when I see David and genya, I associate them with you bc of how much you talk about them and when I read what happened to David, my literal first thought was “oh no Katie is gonna be devastated” 😭😭

You remind me of Nina and I’m so here for it.

this entire video is just a mood

rule of wolves spoilers ahead . . . . . . . david dying really did not make sense for me because it felt really off; like what you said if it was the cost of war then maybe 3 or 4 more significant characters could have died with him. a death is supposed to impact the characters in a way that the storyline would become more intact and powerful, david's just felt like for emotional impact and i was not living for it. the nina zenik thing i felt too; if nina's going to be queen and hanne as king then good for them (go you guys!) but i don't know how they're going to handle the pressure of the court and ruling, but maybe they'll figure it out along the way. i also do not like nina being tailored to look like a fjerdan, it's alright i guess but that's not the real her. but for your last critism, i kind of actually liked the different subplots and different povs happening in those subplots. there were things that had to be done that were happening in multiple places and i loved how they all fit within each other, if you get what im saying. nikolai and zoya's povs that stored the main battle and action and scheming and double crossing was so so fun. nina had her own things to fulfill for king nikolai and she'd done her job really really well and i loved it; i didn't like her chapters in kos because it didn't have much connection with the main plot but her chapters in row were really well done because all the knowledge nina collected from her mission were connecting with the main plot. mayu's chapters i think were justified because i loved what they did to double cross the queen and since they were trying to find the shu labs, it doubled as a rescue mission for her brother. i think that she deserved a voice about what was happening around her (given that she was a twin and that meant a whole lot; they even had a name for the bond) and her backstory was done really well, i think we were really showed what having a twin really meant as a shu. (also, i love tamar and i loved seeing her in mayu's pov). what i didn't like too much tho, was the darklings', it had a really strong voice and such but i did not care about the starless cult. aleksander's povs were kind of a bore to read. i still rated this book 5 stars though, i loved all the plot twists (both major and minor) that leigh implanted in the book. the writing was also really amazing. i wish it could have had a more conclusive ending (like soc or s&b) than the set-up for soc3, but i still really really really enjoyed how it ended.

Omg your reaction was literally mee omg ahaha, especially with David, I was crying so hard 😭😭

It’s always a good day when Katie uploads!

“i deserve a wedding” welll… that didn’t age well at all

Just wanted to say this reading vlog is my favorite thing to exist

I've just finished this book, was looking for some reviews to put my own opinion into words, but most of them here in YT are quiiiite harsh (and I don't feel that way-) So seing you in the thumbnail hugging the book made me so so happy! ♡ I have some critics too, i share yours and a few more, but overall this book left me all emotional and happy ♡

Oh my gods , I love you, this video is what I wanted in my life

Oh my god, I can't wait to come back to this video after I've read King of Scars and Rule of Wolves! I'm so excited to hear your thoughts. Also, I started A Complicated Love Story Set in Space yesterday because of your recommendation, and I stayed up until 3am finishing it. I am obsessed with it, and it's definitely going to be one of my favorite books of the year!

i just finished the book and i still don't know how to feel about my whole existence

I just finished it late yesterday and it’s all coming back to me
