I just wanted to say, I think you review books perfectly. I get a lot more from hearing what someone didn't like in a book and then I can judge if it's something I'm willing to read. It's a lot better then constant gushing and never giving a full critique. Also, I'm completely with you on romance, especially pairing everybody off.

Aaah, let's finally talk about the Magicians, shall we? I liked that book, gave it 3.75 stars. I didn't think the characters were that unlikable. It felt a bit like reading my own depression in university. Like me Quentin has autism, which isn't specified in the first book, but casually dropped in the second. The way the conversations went felt very recognizable to me. We sometimes did it like this as well (but with some more kindness and maybe a bit more respect). The reason I felt Quentin was obvious, and maybe the reason why I didn't see him as nearly as unlikable as everyone else as fell. To me it felt like a person who was depressed and very smart, but didn't really get how all the social stuff works. As you read from such a perspective it is inevitable his feelings are different to a neurotypical person and the way everything registers too. The characters are quite self-obsessed though. I'm in the minority liking the first book best, maybe next to the third. But the complete storyline is solid. I had some dislikes, obviously. The author didn't get all his language references right (Old High-Dutch never existed, it was Old High-German. High Dutch doesn't exist until this day). I also really disliked the way he used the word autistic(ally) as an adjective. That is not very respectful. Even worse was the ending to series though (don't worry, won't spoil it). It is basically insinuated that you can outgrow autism (oh, how I wish) and that the only way to grow up is to loose your inner child, imagination, and obsessions. The last one is very specific to autism, but all three of those belong in the symptom list one way or another. This made me feel anger when I read it. An unexpected trigger, and I hardly ever get triggered by books in a negative way (maybe once before and that one had to do with mental and phyical abuse without any aftermath for the victims). I watched on part of a random episode of the show and literally all the books were mashed as well as the stuff was poorly acted.

I like how you’ve been reviewing books; I think it’s important to address what a book does well and what it doesn’t. It makes for a balanced review and I appreciate it when considering picking up the book. I hope in the future to see in depth reviews on books. As far as reading this month, I started off with a couple of great books and then hit a ton of dnfs. At least I haven’t hit a slump; I started The Strangely Beautiful Tale if Miss Percy Parker (a Victorian Paranormal Romance that I’m on the fence about at the moment) and Grace, a literary fiction/generational book about the life of a runaway slave girl in 1840’s America who tells stories of her life leading up to her death (love it, it’s terribly sad, but deserves more hype!!!). Hope you’re well and loved watching the video 😊

"This would have been a better story if it was adult" - I was thinking the exact same thing while reading Children of Blood and Bone. The insta-love was just plain awful and pulled the entire book down although, the magic system and the world were indeed great. I'm actually not sure if I'll continue with the series because I don't want to go through more YA romance cliches.

I might’ve liked the book better had I not watched the show first, but I doubt it.

Completely agree with you on romance, it's so unfortunate that it's almost a prerequisite for YA to have romance, regardless of whether it's needed or not. I'm disappointed to hear about the insta-love in Children of Blood and Bone, but hopefully I'll like the world building/ magic enough. This month I've been into reading thrillers which is not my genre at all, but that's all i've wanted to read lately. Also with the crap weather Canada is experiencing so far, thrillers set the mood just right lol But about the Magicians, I havent read the books but based on what you've said I can tell you that the pacing in the show is better in my opinion. Can't wait to hear your thoughts on it once you watch it!

That said, it's not worth the hype. Not the writers' fault btw. Most of the hype is built around the social aspect. The representation of African culture in fantasy - which in itself is a good thing- and not because of the writing or the story per se. Even if the writing and the story are still pretty good (drags a bit in the middle though).

I've watched Timeline last week and can say it's good. Try it. (I haven't read the book though, so I can't compare the 2) Just finished Ready Player One (which I liked) and am finishing The Summer That Melted Everything (which I can't wait to finish because it's too much), also I am reading Jackaby by Willam Ritter (which is great! Exactly what I need at the moment).

I like them but separately :p They felt like brother/sister to me. Hermione/Harry had more chemistry although I didn’t want them together either haha

Just finished The way of shadows by Brent weeks. It was my first book by him and while I appreciated all the action/intrigue I found the book a little hard to follow at times. The overall writing was very “meh” for me. I will continue the series eventually, mainly because I am interested in what happens to some of the characters. Currently I’m reading if we were villains by M.L. Rio. I just started it and have only made it 20 pages in but so far am enjoying it.

YESS!!! I agree, children of blood and bone would have been even better as an adult book and without the insta love :P

Loving this mid-April wrap up. I’ve just started reading The seven deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle because after hearing what you said about it I had to get it!

Totally agree with you about reviews with positive and negative points, what you love and what you don't like. I always do it in my own reviews too. I also agree with the romance in YA - so so annoying ... I read 4 books so far (including Obsidio which disappointed me SO MUCH!), and I'm currently reading Room by Emma Donoghue - kind of hard to enter this one because of the writing and pov. Wish you more good reads this month!

You might enjoy "Honor Among Thieves" because the aliens are sentient ships that seem like whales. Super cool story and enjoyed it a ton!

I really enjoy your videos, especially because you talk about books that most youtubers don't. I'm always happy when I already read the book you talk about. I was wondering, have you read "the fountainhead" by Any Rand? I think it could be your cup of tea.

Don't change, Emily! I love how well-rounded your reviews are. And yeah, who walks up to the person in the gift shop and asks for a tour?? That's clearly not their job...
