@@eclipseyyyyy1 I read a theory that he does it to control his urges as a fate. So just like how LaLa (the Unwed Bride) sews wedding dresses and clothes to stop her urge of trying to marrying someone new, because it will eventually end in heart break, Jacks might eat the apples to stop himself from kissing - and therefore killing - someone (to find his true love). I think LaLa also talks about how the urge to succumb to their fate becomes worse the longer they go without it and Jacks eats a lot of apples when he's with Evangeline 😃

The Ballad of Never After was fantastic, by far the best book Garber has written so far in my opinion.

@BD-fc1il 2 года назад

I don’t know if anyone has said this yet. BUT I HAD THE MOST MASSIVE EPIPHANY when you opened the first page of the book and mentioned it was Evangeline’s letter to herself. There will be a third book and that letter will come into play when she finds it. Unfortunately, it reads more in the favor of Apollo and not Jacks. But it does mention the prophecy and the arch so it should spawn Evangeline’s interest in uncovering her memories. Not to mention the last broken heart scar among many others questions to be answered for.

@takshatangudu8736 Год назад

TRUE , Babel is literally one of my all time faves! Considering I'm an Indian, I felt the need of showing the actual colors of "the british empire". As a person who loves literature and languages and feels sad that the only language we are exposed to at school is english (and our second and third language, but kinda less) despite having such a rich heritage, literature and culture. I think this wouldve been relatable to asians as a whole.

Thank you! Also, my version of TBONA ends like yours and I was mind-blown when you suggested that there might be different versions out there somewhere (that would be really cruel to the readers, but in line with the whole style of the book).

@hollyc4624 2 года назад

Your critique of Babel was really great. I loved it and so far it is one of my favorite books of the year. But I also thought there was a section that was too much of an info-dump and instead of being dialogue or action, was more the history of the situation. Necessary for the understanding of why there was a secret society in the first place but still a slog to read. It felt like this section could have been shortened without losing much of the reasons for the action. The characters were terrific. I also found that a slower reading of it helped get through some of the inaction. Jess Owens suggested this and it made the experience better imo.

*Spoilers * Just finished -6:48- 8:25-sooooo relatable- I’m just gonna say - you got me started on this series- no regrets but also kinda flipped when I too realized I only had 50 pages and the sh*t was not wrapping up - I have so many ideas on where this could go but also like how much longer could this last book be? Like will Jacks have to make her fall in love with him all over? Who is her “husband”? I’m scared she’s gonna see her jacked up stepsister again!! Also Luc?! P.S my version ends with Chaos/Castor gets his helm removed- kills Evangeline on accident- Jacks (in his POV) uses the stones to go back in time (instead of going back to Donatella) he brings a “snack” for Chaos- tells Eva to get lost she walks away heartbroken Apollo find her- steals her memories of everything- then a brown eyed male who declares he is her husband - scoops her up and says he will never let her go- those are the last words

@akshita4771 2 года назад

The wine celler pissed me off so much and then when I figured out what happened I was so disappointed, Spoiler alert THEY HUGGED?! THATS ALL THAT HAPPENED, Grayson was saying some depressing stuff and then hug. What was that whole plot point 😐

@semina22 2 года назад

the plot point is that avery is in love with jameson and doesn’t like grayson romantically

@saanika574 2 года назад

did you want her to cheat on the person she loves? with his brother????

@rodsitamara Год назад

but grayson fans couldnt have gone into the book thinking they would be engame... avery literally chose jameson everytime she had to make a choice.

You described the differences between ouabh and caraval so well. Its the reason I loved caraval more, but I can still enjoy ouabh. The writing is too beautiful. Ouabh feels like a fairytale that evangelines mother would have told her.

Why did we all have the same reaction to the ending of the tbona 😂

The Libby things sounds like your library/country. I’m at 5 libraries across the US and all of them can be sent to Kindle if I want to. Hopefully this changes for you bc it’s absolutely the best feature!

ohh my gawd, your reaction to ballad of never after has me hyped to read the books! 😂

@kiranreader 2 года назад

loved learning more about babel from you!! heard so many people talking about it and its really piqued my interest

@MiSsJoOnY12 Год назад

I just finished The Ballad of never after and came here to watch it again to relive the pain and traumatic experience again there still more than 4 months till the last book why did i do this to myself 😭😭😭😭

@haileyy1793 Год назад

My book has 398 pages instead of 311 or 384. I want EVERY SINGLE rendition of this series. My copy says “She felt it down to her bones.”

@TI3RU 2 года назад

As someone who ended up DNF’ing the poppy war for the reasons you mentioned you struggled with Babel, it seems RF Kuang’s writing style will probably illicit the same reaction from me if I try reading Babel 😅 At least if I try reading it now, my expectations will be more realistic so I appreciate the honest reaction!

@asmaaria5066 2 года назад

Now you suddenly MADE me want to read a book that I had completely dismissed from my TBR

@kayaj5693 2 года назад

@QianQian17 2 года назад

you've convinced me to read babel, the caraval trilogy and the once upon a broken heart series 😭

@brittanydreyer9911 2 года назад

SG did update her Goodreads page yesterday to confirm there will be a third book! "Update (9/28/22): Just hopping on here to confirm that there will be a third book in this series! I can't share much more about the book just yet, but I wanted everyone to know that Ballad is not the end of the story. :)"

@didip1000 2 года назад

Stephanie Garber's description of clothes and obsession with vampires gives me My Immortal fanfic vibes, anyone else? xD

@ChemicalPenguinn 2 года назад

Babel was exquisite! I've read so many disappointing books this year, but that one was 🌠so good🌠 This video is definitely making me want to pick up Once Upon A Broken Heart also, despite the ending of its sequel.

@caitsimmonds1626 2 года назад

Ballad of Never After absolutely destroyed me 😭😭😭 like I think there are a lot of books that have made me cry, but very few that have made me absolutely bawl like this book did. I was ugly crying. I remember seeing SG’s Instagram story a couple of months ago saying that she wasn’t going to tell us if it was a duology or a trilogy until after the book came out, and I absolutely love her but this is too cruel 🥲🥲🥲 I hope she relieves our suffering soon. Loved your video as always, Cari 🤗

@caricanread 2 года назад

I dodnt know she was playing around with a possible trilogy so i went in 100% believing this was the last book and that ending destrooooyed me

@caitsimmonds1626 2 года назад

@@caricanread honestly, I don’t blame you because I was just really lucky that I caught the Instagram story. And as soon as she said it, it was like 👀 this has got to be trilogy right? And now I’ve never hoped for a duology to become a trilogy more in my life. I swear to God, if she leaves it like that I will never recover 😂😂😂😂
