read the folk of the air series with me | cruel prince series reading vlog! *spoilers* 

To whoever doesn’t like this book, you’re 100% not the target audience because you’re probably waiting for the romance which is literally like a side plot.

I absolutely LOVED the folk of the air series 😭😭

i freaking love this series

i think because you read mostly romance you was waiting for the romance in the 1st book but its not really a romance its more all about the fantasy which is why i loved it soooo much because i love fantasy so i think i appreciated the fantasy more so that when the romance got therre it was more of a shock. i love ur videos btw

I feel like we as fans of this book need to tell more people that romance is the sub-plot 😭 I came in, full on expecting an enemies to lovers and then I was getting mostly politics and I actually ADORED it. But at first, I was a bit on the cautious side. I was thinking "How in the world is she going to turn these two into lovers without it being a sort of unhealthy relationship? There's not a whole lot of development between these two." I dunno. I think we just need to spread the word that there's more politics than romance at first. But still, it's an incredible trilogy and literally my favorite book series to this day.

I'm just smirking through all of this knowing damn well cardan will be your new book boyfriend

i absolutely love this series but the problem is that people make it look like like a romance when it’s not. so people read it expecting romance and then get disappointed

this series is about family, politics, fantasy, self discovery, and romance. romance is not the primary genre AT ALL.

This trilogy is one of my favorites!

you should read cardan's letters to jude 😌 you can find it anywhere in the internet

SCREAMING CRYING THE QUEEN IS READING ONE OF MY FAV SERIES finished the vid: we stan the taryn hate club. i love jude and cardan they're my fav and the reason i love the trilogy. i agree that some parts can get boring and too much inner dialogue than real dialogue/ action for all that is happening. but i think its bc its the first fantasy series i read that's why it has a special place in my heart. IM SO HAPPY U FINISHED IT

The queen of nothing is my favorite book on the series! I liked the previous both but I felt that the plot was so much more interesting, and the romance so cute! I couldn’t stop blushing every time cardan said “She is my wife” 🥹

I have no plans of reading this series, I had no idea what you were talking abt YET I enjoyed every second of this reading vlog and ate up every single minute😂

i’m reading the third book and I LOVE THIS SERIES!!! i don’t think i had any clue that this had romance but even all the political stuff had me super intrigued!! i love jude and cardan

it's so interesting to see your perspective and opinions of this series especially bc i felt the total opposite! since you didn't like the writing style and the politics of it all (which is most of the series’s plot), it makes perfect sense that you didn't love the series. i, myself, also personally find it hard to enjoy books when i don't like the author's writing style even with amazing plot and characters. a big part of why i loved this series is also bc of the characters and the setting. i loved jude and cardan and elfhame in general even if it's a pretty brutal place. so i totally understand why you said it wasn't for you. i'm glad you enjoyed the queen of nothing even just a little bit tho!!

i haven’t finished the video yet but in case you don’t know there’s a “book” you’re supposed to read after the cruel prince and before the wicked king (book 1.5) wich is called “the lost sisters” (there’s no physical book of that, only online) and is just taryn’s pov of the cruel prince but it’s like 50 something pages and then there’s also another book (3.5) called “how the king of elfame learnt to hate stories” but neither of those are “main” books or like a “must read” because it’s still a trilogy but it’s a nice add to the stories

You have so much patience I could never read that whole series

last book was BY FAR the best

this was one of my favorite book series and i’m SO EXCITED to hear your thoughts 🤍

OMGGGG I've been waiting for u to read all of them i read them all back in april IT WAS AMAZING IM SOOO EXCITED TO WATCH THE VIDEO I HOPED U LIKED ITTTT💕 Edit: Soooo just finished watching the video and I loved the series soooo much. Every single one of the books BUT everyone has different tastes and likes yk soooo theres obvs stuff u like (like six of crows) and then theres stuff that other ppl like so yh loooll. But at least u read it and got it off of ur tbr and ily

Since she loves Cardan she should read how the king of elfhame learned to hate stories because it is only about him and his life

I loved this series, but what helped me was I looked up pictures of what they all looked like and what their kingdom/realm looks like as well. I love maps in books too, it helps give you a glimpse of where they are.

Personally, I didn't really like the series as much as I thought I would. The Cruel Prince was fine, not bad but not great either. The Wicked King was my favorite among all three. The Queen of Nothing was interesting in the first half but the second half was just meh. Overall, it didn't live up to the hype.

I would watch if there were no spoilerssss I am curious about if this series is worth reading though! I just started ACOTAR and I finished the first book, I really enjoyed that one and I’m not a big fantasy reader:) 😻🙌🏼

i absolutely loved the plot twist in the 1st book i was so gripped by itttt. but obviously its personal preference

sara! when you’re in the mood for fantasy again, try reading some cassie clare. a bit more wholesome romance

the folk of the air series is 100% not a romance series lmao. the romance is very much a subplot and everyone going into it just for the romance is setting themselves up.

These three books just showed up on my door step yesterday!! What perfect timing ☺️ Now I have to show will power and click out of the video and come back once I have read them. 🤦🏼‍♀️

I expected much more romance in this series as well but not gonna lie, I liked it very much and found it actually a pretty good way to get some rest from real romance (? you know what I mean lol) and the covers are soooo pretty! Especially the second and third - looking beautiful on the bookshelf even if you didn't like it that much 😌 Oh and I'm so glad I'm not the only one who doesn't necessarily understand all of the book as it's written in a... well, kind of different language 🥹 P.S. I can't wait to hear your final thoughts on Shatter Me series!! 😍

Congrats Sara for 90k that’s amazing!!Your channel has grown so much!Love your videos.🤍

Omgg I just finished the last book what a perfect time to watch this video!!!

THIS SERIES IS PHENOMENAL I LOVE IT SM

I loved Locke sm until all that with Taryn happened 😭😭 like he could’ve been such a lovely character

The way you look and talk reminds me of emma chamberlen

Guys I'm reading the cruel prince rn and I want to continue the series but does the wicked king and the queen of nothing contain LGBTQ scenes or even characters more than vivi and her girlfriend? Because come on it's so bad while reading something about those type of people 😭😭

Not me watching this and reading the folk of the air at the same time. Also the thing anout Ella Enchanted, yes that is the movie where she has to do whatever anyone says :)

I didn’t like it either, I couldn’t even bring myself to even read the 3rd book because I just didn’t care about any of the characters

I got into reading by reading fantasy and at first it was so hard for me to imagine all of the places mentioned, all of the scenes and characters, but the more fantasy books I read the easier it got for me to imagine everything in my head which made fantasy books a lot more enjoyable and easy for me. That way I love fantasy now and the cruel prince too because the way I imagined all the places and characters is so beautiful in my head (if that makes sense). That helped me a lot with fantasy ☺️

I literally had the exact same reactions reading these books!

THANK GOD SARA I DID NOT LIKE THIS SERIES

this is my favorite trilogy 😭😭

bruh go read colleen hoover if you want romance so bad…

Ohhh yesss the folk air trilogy love them 💗💗💗

This series was SOOO GOOD😭😭

i was just watching your “reminders of him” reading vlog and was thinking if you would do more reading vlogs and here you are. omg i love you so much 💓💓💓💓

I cannot wait for you to read ACOTAR!!! The second book stole my heart! xx

i bought these but they were like paper thin and also misprinted 😢

for those of you who wants to read this series, there are 2 things that you need to know/ understand before diving into these books. 1. the romance is a sub plot, so no there won't be romance until like almost the end of the first book. it is not the main story/ focus of this book so don't get your hopes up/ wait for the romantic scene to happen. 2. haley pham said this line that got me very hooked & intrigued to start reading the series. it is an enemies to lovers but they kept being enemies even when they've turned into lovers. to me, the folk of the air series is an easy 5 star as a whole. the little romance is what makes these books soo addicting to read because you feel the yearning feeling of their moments but still very much focused on the whole politics bcs you'll never know what will happen to them. the plot twists are so good and unpredictable to me and i know everyone has said it but the wicked king is definitely my favorite out of the trilogy.

I love fantasy but I did not enjoy the cruel prince! Def think you’ll like ACOTAR more

petition for sara to do a reading vlog on the shadow and bone trilogy by leigh bardugo

I know you don't know me but if you could could you read the prison healer series its a new series so it doesn't have much hype but its sooooo good it would mean alot if you read it

I was lokey so annoyed during this whole review (no hate) but it was all about politics and slow burn enemies to lovers romance but i honestly love this series so much but yeah whatever

Bro I agree with you so much 😔

Hi Sara, you need to read these violent delights! It’s one of my fav fantasy books

this is a fantasy book so if there’s a lot of fantasy then not romance, it is delivering what is promised not disappointing

i just finished the series and i am in love. since she like cardan so much she should read HOW THE KING OF ELFHAME LEARNED TO HATE STORIES!!!

I read the first book and i kind of had really high expectations… I finished the first book and gave it 3 (decent but not my fav) stars and ive been putting the second book of for alsmost 2 months now. Should I read further?

I'm so glad you said you had no idea what happened in the Wicked King because girl I could not tell you what happened in that book either and I thought I was the only one. Also I agree with you that there were times in the first and second books that it felt like I was reading a foreign language or that I was reading and not retaining anything. But the 3rd book made up for the other two, because it was just so much better and had a more interesting plot line.

I was all smiling and shieet man i love Cardan

i love JUDECARDAN so much!!

You need to read ACOTR series instead.

as a reader who isn't really into romance, i thoroughly enjoyed the folk of air series mainly because it has a heroine who is such a badass (jude). These books are about political fantasy and the romance part is just a subplot.

I think that you would have liked ACOTAR better. it has a very similar plot but it's not YA and has a lot more romance in it and a more interesting plot.

sorry this book put me in a reading slump for a goddamn year! i hated this book so much

"When haley pham tells you to do something........ you just do it"😂 you're so real for that

have you read the Red Queen series?? It's another fantasy series and people either love it or hate it. I LOVED book 2 &3.

Why is your predictions so accurate 😭😭

i loved this series SO MUCH

Currently reading the first book and i hate Cardan SO MUCH.

I never liked Jude and when she told Vivi that she was a spy and she was freaking good at it, I gave up reading the series because she was literally the most useless spy in history of the universe 😅 so many things just didn’t make sense

I did start the book with the expectations of more romance and it was my first fantasy book series. But I liked it when I knew the cardan was the love interest

I’m totally with you; I didn’t care for this series very much at all. It just never sucked me in.

I ordered this book!!

i loved this series and i love love cardan too and i rlly love jude too, shes a bit morally grey but thats the point kinda and i liked how when they became 'lovers' they still had their enemy banter. i adore the romance but it is very much a subplot so i think ppl need to stop recommending it as a fantasy romance because its more focused on like politics, you probably would have enjoyed this series more if you knew what to expect :( also did your books have cardan's letters?? if not there's like 4 and i recommend reading them online, pretty sure its just on google, theyre rlly cute!

I loved this series so much!!

PLS READ THE LETTERS CARDAN WROTE TO JUDE , when she was in exile ! Pls find them on internet theres like 8 or 9 letters and they had me bawling 😭🤍

YOU WOULD LIKE THE STOLEN HEIR THERE IS MORE DIALOGUE LESS BIG PARAGRAPHS AND GOOD PACE, I READ IT IN ONCE SITTING

Jude and cardan are the subplot in book two.

Hey! Sara you are such a inspiration for me and I really love your vlogs so so much you inspired me so so much and I wish you reach 100K Subscribers very very soon!💖🌸💫

I have not read this series (probably won’t now) but when and if you read the ACOTAR series you should do a similar video! I would love to hear your feedback on those books.

i don't know if you have or if you want to but in the book cardan mentions letters and you can find those letters online. the letters were so cute to me, just letting you know if you wanna read them

I LOVED THE FIRST BOOK 😩 LIKE THE PLOT TWISTS AND EVERYTHING, JUDE IS SUCH A MASTERMIND. Also, I agree. I just finished the second book and the first half was like boring and it disappointed me. I was expecting more bc people said that the books got better. But the last third of the book was so good, again with the plot twists, not as many as the first book but I LOVEDDD. Now I'm waiting to pick up the thirb book to read

I love this series. Haven’t gotten to the end of the video, but if you didn’t look up the letters from Cardan to Jude, you should. They were so sweet.

Does somebody have recs for books that are similar to this series? I loved it and want the same feeling while reading again!!

I have been waiting for months to watch this video when I finally read the books! Every time I finished one of the books I came to this video and watched you read it and then paused till I had read the next one! Kinda buddy reading vibes

All these three have map or wicked king has map

Im rereading the series rn💌

My favorite series ❤❤❤❤

Not the Cruel Prince slander 😭 cruel funds is WAY better than six of crows..... And Jude is a whole QUEEN. Romance is boring. Fantasy is g reat... People only dislike it because they were hoping for romance.

You need to read the clockwork series next it's one of my fav fantasy romance series

Taryn is the definition of a “Pick Me”

!!!!! I HAVE AN IMPORTANT QUESTION: how can i tell my friend no to borrowing my books? I absolutely hate them borrowing any of my books but she is really sensitive and if i say no ill be the asshole

I feel like people recommend this book wronge. It's a high fantasy political drama with a romance side plot, it's not a romance which is probably why people don't like the series

I hated this series, i have list why do I hate it. Then I didnt really like ACOTAR, only first two books, and that made me realised I like fantasy but not Fae fantasy

Don't bother to read The Lost Sisters. I did and it was the worst thing I've done in a while. The only thing this book is about is Taryn trying to explain everything that happend but actually just blaming Jude for all the mistakes that SHE made ....I hate her

I love. This series. With my whole heart.

OMG this is my favorite series I have been WAITING for this video 😫I love you

I wish I could go back to before I read the series just so I could read it again

this series reminded me of Maleficent, anyone else??

I am so glad that you read this series! Looking forward to more reading vlogs from you! ❤️
