The Wheel of Time has a lot of flaws, it could have benefited from an editor that is not the author's wife but I just love it to bits. Rand and Nynaeve are my favorites, they grow and change so much over the course of the series. I was a Nynaeve fan even when she was getting on everyone's nerves. I would look closely at the friendships in those books instead of the love interests because the friendship between those five villagers and the others are really well done. Each of the characters have relationships with each of the others and they are all different and nuanced and really beautiful. I also view the ladies biting the men's heads off as a cultural thing. This world is a matriarchy, the women are in charge and they are used to behave a certain way with nobody challenging them. It does evolve also over the course of the series. For all it's flaws, this series is worth sticking with in my opinion, even through the slog!
Ah, you said it so well, Kim - an editor that isn't the wife of the author :)) And I do see why you love it - the fact that I am continuing with it, even though it pisses me off on every page is a testament to the value of the plot. But I can't agree with you on the beauty of the friendships. I can see what he was going for - a true bond that can't be broken and people who would do everything and fight any battle for each other. But he didn't execute it well. In order for the angry outbursts caused by love to be powerful and justified, they have to be few and far between. We also should be able to follow the development of the relationships properly on page - to see what causes the love and what caused the anger. Instead, we see girls who hug each other and giggle (out of the blue) one moment and then snap at each other (again, out of the blue) in the next. We see people yelling at their friends for being fools one moment, then in the next we see those same people yelling at others about manipulating said friends and how they would not allow it. Just a whole lot of yelling. What I'm saying is not that I don't want people to argue. But that I want to be able to follow the reasons for the arguments and that I want there to also be understanding, restraint, tenderness, humility. And about the matriarchy, I understand what you're saying but I don't like the execution either way. Because it's one thing to snap at men when they mess with women's business (which we see in the books and I don't mind) but it's another to have that be THE ENTIRE mode of communication, regardless of the situation. Treating men like children even when you're the one who's throwing the tantrum... I mean, reverse the roles and tell me this isn't massively frustrating. The fact that the author intentionally created a world where this is the norm is the whole reason why I hate it. Might be just personal taste, I don't discard that possibility, but it is my opinion that Jordan doesn't write character development and relationships well. And I know I just wrote a whole self-important dissertation here justifying my frustration but I don't want you not to love the series. I think it's awesome that there is this huge amazing story that brings you joy. You are right to love it this way and whatever I say is irrelevant. I know my tastes are not universally applicable (I mean some of the books I love will for sure be hated by a lot of people). I'm sorry for the long sanctimonious comment :) 🌸 ❤️
@@libraryunbounded I get it! I see the flaws and I love it in spite of those. I feel like these kids are behaving badly but I think you can love people even though they have a short fuse. I understand the Nynaeve and Egwene shifting of power dynamics and the annoyance with Matt's behavior for example. I like to see other opinions and this particular series is a case of love it or can't stand it I would say:)
If it was Jordan, not Sanderson, who did the last three books in The Wheel Of Time series. Would you bother even finishing it? I can wholeheartedly tell you I would've DNF the series. The three Sanderson books were soooooo good. And I remember at the time people were hesitant to get back into the series because Jordon had gone so far off the tracks by the time he passed. Sanderson was still fairly new when he took over so no one knew what to expect. As soon as the word got out that Sanderson was bringing the story back into focus and started tying up the loose ends and answering the mysteries...people got the book in droves.
I don't know, to be honest. I must admit, having Sanderson being the one to finish the series is definitely an incentive. But I also really am intrigued by the world and mysteries (however buried in tedium they are). So it's possible that I would've still tried to finish it. I do hope I make it to the end 🤞
@@libraryunbounded I'm confident you'll make it. I'm probably a bit more harsh towards this then is warranted. I was there at the time, waiting for book 11 to come out and all of a sudden he publishes a prequel novel with plans to do a prequel trilogy. Now thankfully, the fans rejected it, and he was forced to come out with book 11 the following year. My memories of this series is one of frustration and joy. I keep thinking he wrote one or two many books yet Sanderson needed three novels to finish it and do it justice. I think Sanderson's book is the longest one in the series, if memory serves. I'm rambling but this is the kind of series that rambles. The only thing I can suggest is to skip the prequel novel, New Spring, and wait till you are done with the series if you want to read it. There is a lot more good than bad in this series. 90 million books sold worldwide would suggest that.
Sylvia, I just read a historical fiction book that has the same tone as The Blacktongue Thief, the author narrates it himself too! Glorious Exploits by Ferdia Lennon, 5 Stars! Whimsical & crude, funny & moving!!
Oh, thank you so much for the heads up, Heidi! ❤️ Added it to my TBR (the cover looks insane, I'm into it 😂) 📚
Със съжаление трябва да изразя мнението, че нещата, които ви дразнят в Колелото на Времето няма да се подобрят значително, а в определени томове от поредицата дори се влошават. Аз се опитвах да го оправдавам половинчато пред себе си с това, че повечето герои върху които пада фокусът са основно тинейджъри и такава е културата на времето, но това помага само донякъде. Поредицата има доста слабости, но въпреки това си струва. Все пак, не бих се учудил ако негативите при вас вземат превес и не я довършите.
О, толкова ме радва да видя коментар на български! ✨ Не съм изненадана да го чуя, за съжаление и мисля, че съм подготвена, но кой знае. Надявам се да издържа и ще се постарая. Но най-вероятно ще помрънкам доста :)) На вас коя книга от серията ви е любима? (Може и на "ти" всъщност :))
August was definitely a slump! I finished a book I had been dragging for a while, I finished two others but didn't really like them and lastly, I DNF a heinous book. Also I think I'm getting into a romance slump, bad luck for my favorite genre. On a brighter side, I also started a new job on August. Best of lucks✨
August seems to have come for all the readers. I know I was in a brutal slump. Hope the new job is going well.
Thank you so much, Jonathan! I am sorry to hear you had to deal with August too... But the good news is that it's all over now and we are nearing the cooler and cosier reading months 🍁🍂
I'm glad you are continuing with Wheel of Time. 100%, the romances were easily the worst part of the series - both in believability and in torturous dialogue... Fun video!
Thank you for the kind words, Brian! ✨
❤ yay for good books. I had a good reading month, 23 books! 😮 manga helped 😂 I adore your videos. You are so funny! 😂❤ Wishing you well. 🎉❤
Oh, wow! 23!! You did amazing, Justyna! ❤️ Doesn't matter that there was manga - still so impressive! Thank you so much! You made my day! ❤️❤️❤️
@@libraryunbounded Thank you! I was surprised! 😄 Awww. ❤️ yay!!!!!
Alright, alright......so many mentions of Jane, I'm rereading it in October 😂 (and so very happy about it 🥰) It is interesting, I've never really disliked their age gap - perhaps because Jane had to take care of herself for so long and seemed so independent already at 18 that she felt much more mature...... an uncomfortable age gap irritated me a little bit in Emma so I understand the point, though 🙂 Anyway, 4 books are wonderful result in such month 🤩 I'm sending you all the great energy vibes for the new beginning at work 🏋♀ And I cannot forget: Happy fall 😃 🍂🍂🍂
Hahaha I do believe you should definitely read it - the universe has spoken! You know, I can see what you mean. I just think had they met when she was in her 20s, it would be a bit better. Thank you so much! That's so sweet of you! ❤️ Happy autumn to you too!!! 🍁🍁🍁🍂🍂🍂🥮🧡
you perfectly nailed my problems with the wheel of time series! The plot is great but I hate practically every relationship a female character has with anyone else, be it with the men around them or even with other women because they also always seem to complain about or argue with each other
Yes, there's pretty much nobody to empathise with and, being a character driven reader, this is very uncomfortable for me 😅
❤📚❤️ I love Jane Eyre, each reread more. I look forward to reading Roadside Picnic! I added to my Goodreads "want to read." I hope the new job is going well. 😊
Oh, I do hope you like it Starla. ❤️❤️❤️
@@libraryunbounded Thank you! 🤗
I didn't love Jane Eyre when i read it. Some parts of it i found interesting, but others i found very boring and tedious to get through. Rochester gave me the ick and really disliked the sudden supernatural element that brought them back together at the end that seemed to come out of nowhere. Granted, i was also 16 when i read it, so maybe if i reread it now, i would be more patient with some things, but i don't think it could ever become a favorite
I can understand, a few years back I'd probably feel similarly. And in all honesty, Rochester seemed like a lot and the supernatural elements was a bit too much. But I think it all went well with the dramatic mood of the book. And I do like a tragic love interest, and second chance in life narrative.. It suited my mood, i suppose, and I liked it but again, I can understand why people might not.
@@libraryunbounded I can see why people like it too. I just personally didn't. I'm glad you had a better experience than i did! 😊
Your thoughts on Shadow Rising 😂😂😂 I’m equally getting frustrated. I’m almost at the 50% part and we’ve finally moved away from the romance and deeper into the lore! I agree though that depending on my thoughts at the end of this book, I stop reading the series lol
Yes, I really liked the part with the city Rand and Mat entered and what Rand saw there - that's what I want to see more of! Hopefully it stays on this wave 🤞 (I also texted on Discord 😂)
You ended up reading the Hugo award winner with Some Desperate Glory - I haven't read it, but some friends that have have also not particularly enjoyed it.
I read 1984 in college, and it changed the way I look at things. It's very insightful. The ending also had me in tears when I first read it. I love it so much, so it's a top read for me as well, and I'm actually due for a reread. And I agree with your thoughts concerning the Mark Twain collection. You have to overlook the language and consider the time period and setting that it was written in. I think some readers tend to miss that part because they're so used to the language and ideology of the present time, so maturity is definitely needed when reading stories like that. If anything, I like when stories reflect real life, past or present. That makes everything so much more believable, which is what great fiction is all about, making you believe that this could have happened in real life. Love these tier ranking videos! It's great to see all of your different tastes. Very eclectic! 💫
What a lovely, relaxing vlog. And OMG, what a view you have! 🤩
It is spectacular indeed. I am rather lucky in that aspect :)
Your exasperation over the Wheel of Time was so entertaining as the viewer; your eyes were so wide open in frustration 😂 Jane Eyre is a personal favourite; a 11/10 if I could give it that, but I enjoyed hearing your thoughts on it. You have a magnificent view, and I enjoy your vlog format :) It looks so pretty and relaxing.
7:18 Omg the view! I am in love ♥️ also I cannot wait to start The Stormlight Archive, I’ve heard only good things and since I LOVED Mistborn, I have a feeling I’ll love that series too
Best and most to the point book review I’ve seen on this book Thank you
I am currently slogging my way through the 9th book of WoT. WoT is giving me major whiplash. The books are filled with infuriating main characters not doing too much with epic events sprinkled in. Lord of Choas has been the highlight for me, and since then, it has gotten so slow with the most frustrating characters as the main povs for the majority of the last 2 books. Then, when I want to throw the book out of the window into the river, something truly epic happens that catches my interest once again. I feel my thoughts on the series are a rollercoaster as well. I think if this series was edited to take out most of the boring parts that are not necessary to the story, then this series would be more unanimously loved by people who picked it up. The characters might be more likable as well. For me, I still think the series is worth it, but I also understand if you don't want to continue.
I found your channel thanks to BellTube. I loved this vlog!!! I haven’t read Wheel of Time, but I’ve heard many similar complaints. You live in a gorgeous location!
Oh, this is so cool! I am really happy you're here and very thankful to Brian! 💖 And thank you, it is a pretty place 😊
Always a joy to get a video from you! I've been feeling guilty for years that I DNFed The Wheel of Time, and I've kept thinking that I should give it another shot and really persevere this time. I think you just cured me of that. Thank you! 😄
Hahah glad I could help 💖
I really like this video. 11 mins of just chill calmness. Perfect for my Sunday. Thank you!

Thank you, Brian! Hope you have a lovely week after this chill weekend ✨
Such an awesome vlog. And that view 👌🏻
What a great Sunday 😊 I think I'm certain now that I will not be picking up The Wheel of Time. I've heard so many things about the series, and it is off-putting. Plus, I have so many other series I would like to get into instead. Happy Readings! 💜 Wishing you a wonderful week as well!
Thank you, Justyna! ❤️ Wheel of Time is a strange case. I really don't want to discourage people from picking things that are so well loved. but I simply can't pretend about it.
@@libraryunbounded Sometimes a person is not interested in a book that many others love, such is life lol. We are all different. 😆 That's the beautiful of having options.
Yeaaaah...weekend vlogs are my favorite, so happy they r back ❤
Thank you so much, Bibi! ❤️
Happy Sunday! I fell in love with your balcony and the view - such beautiful and serene spot for reading ❤ And, I totally understand you about Jane, I enjoy drama and even for me, the ending was a little over the top 😃 still, there are parts I can read over and over again :) :) I'm sorry that TWoT is letting you down currently, hope other books improve your reading month :)
Oh, thank you, Misa! ❤️ I was so lucky to get this apartment and it's actually the reason why I still live in this city 😂 But Jane Eyre - what a perfect book a rainy autumn weekend it would be! I am quite sorry I didn't keep it for then, but I know for sure I shall reread it, so whenever I do, it will be in autumn! 🍂🍁 (Also, so excited for fall!!!!) It was over the top but also, strangely level headed - Jane was so pragmatic, outwardly self-possessed, and so resolute! I liked her so much! Yeah, I still have hope for The Shadow Rising. More than half the book remains and those usually pick up at some point. Fingers crossed 🤞
@@libraryunbounded Your mentioning fall made me laugh 😂 It actually started to feel like autumn today where I live (first day really this year) - my view from the window changed from Anne's green garden to rainy and windy, foggy morning like in the The hound of Baskervilles - perhaps we could swap 🤣 Jane is one of my heroes and definitely great fall read 🥰 Fingers crossed 😉🍀
@@aBowStar omg, I wanna see the view!🍁
I feel so validated with your feelings on WoT 😅
Oh, honestly, I'm soooo happy you said that! I felt like I was the only one 😅💖
@@libraryunbounded there's a couple of us at least! But I've been trying to go on with thr series because it's so hyped, bht I can only do it over audio... At least I can increase the speed. Still, it's just because I'm stubborn, otherwise I wouldn't consider it worth it. I just finished Winter's Heart and do far it's much of the same.
@@nyxian_grid ah, I was told that until you hit Sanderson's chunk, those particular aspects don't get better... But I totally understand the stubborn desire to do the thing and finish the series. It's like the stupidest curse ever 😂(needless to say, I have it too)
❤📚🌊❤️ I would really love a whole day spent reading on your balcony! Kansas just doesn't have those views. 😅 I'm glad you finished Jane Eyre. The only Stephen King I have on my physical tbr right now is The Eyes of the Dragon. It's a 1987 publication and young adult. Have you read it. I keep putting other books ahead of it, even though ...dragons!!
Oh, Starla, you are so sweet! ❤️ And I'd love to have you here for a reading day (or more) on the balcony! Would be so much fun! 📚☕️🌅 I think I've told you though that I've dreamt of visiting Kansas ever since I read The Wizard of Oz - there's something about an endless field that fills my heart with joy and sense of freedom! 💖
@@libraryunbounded Awww, you are welcome here any time! 😁👠👠 just click your heels twice.
I'm afraid Wheel of Time is not getting better from there. Lord of Chaos was actually a good book, but otherwise I struggled immensily with the topics that you felt frustraited about with the fourth book. I'm now on book 12 and I can see the effect of Sanderson on the characters and they are so much better now. But it has been a frustraiting journey for me to get this far.
That's exactly what I was afraid of, Jenny... I've been told that there is a chunk of the series they call the slog, but by the popular opinion, none of the early books are supposed to be a part of that. And I'm already this frustrated. But I also want to know what happens... 😂
@libraryunbounded I know that feeling! That's why I have been so stubborn and just pushed through 😆 I want to know how all of that ends. And to be fair, there are some really cool things going to happen in the slog books, but they are few and far apart 😄
@@jennitoikkanen3431 terrible business! Taking this amazing world and dressing it up in so much useless drivel (I was going to make a joke by elaborately describing the "attire" of the world, to be in tone with Jordan's writing, but I don't feel creative enough 😂) Fingers crossed I make it through 🤞
Quick turnaround on this vlog. I need these to be longer so that I can hang out longer, parasocially speaking.
Hahah, see, I actually always thought my vlogs were too long 😂 I shall return to my long-winded ways with the next one, I promise 📚
@@libraryunbounded Good! Because more Silvia is never a bad thing!
I just realised that Nobody's Boy is Sans Famille! I grew up with that story. Such a heartwrenching one but beautiful. Don't get me started on the dogs! There was a Japanese animated series when I was a young kid and it was so good. Good memories!
Oh, yes! Me too! It's the second book I ever got as a gift (the first being Alice in Wonderland). I reread it so many times and have now read it in 3 languages (Bulgarian, English and French)! I have cried so much reading this and to this day, every time I head about onion soup I remember this book. Oh, the dogs! ❤️ WHAT? There is?? I must find and watch this!! (I will even attempt seriously to stay awake! ✨
@@libraryunbounded It's on CZcams if you type Remi sans famille you should find it, it's so cute. I think I owned the book when I was a child but I don't remember reading it. I will probably remedy that with my oldest kid.
Really glad you broke down your thoughts on the rating for Into the Wild - it is on my list of books to read one day, but not really my kind of non-fic, so I'll be sure to be in the right mood before picking it up. 🙃
I LOVE Moonlight sonata, but it's a bit too loud in the video, I kept getting distracted 😅
Hahah oops, my apologies, I guess I love it a bit too much 😂 I shall be more careful next time 😉
The Tolkien bush and tree description line has me 😂 best humor on booktube!
Hahah thank you! This is one of the best compliments anyone has ever paid me! 💖
📚📚💜
My Astrid Lindgrin is Pippi Longstockings, I've had this book since I was 9yrs old. And that's very long time ago. Great video than you for sharing ❤
Thank you so much, Anna! ❤️ I can totally understand your love for Pippi - probably reread it 20 times as a child. But Ronja is my favorite of Astrid's girls! If you haven't read it, I highly recommend (even if you are a bit older than 9 yo 😊)
❤ wonderful video.
Thank you so much, Justyna! ❤️
Blood Meridian. Because Judge Holden has left a bad impact on my soul😅.
Omg, I read it in July... and reread it in August 😂 I'm laughing but the book made my soul bleed! Loved it though and yes - the judge scared the living hell out of me. No villain has ever villed (definitely not a word) as hard as this terrifying and fascinating b*stard. 😅
No matter where you go, there's always some one who has to prove their vehicle is very loud. Good for you buddy, you make it go so loud!
Hahaha that's how they know they're really big and powerful 💪
I think this every time I hear one go by 😂 (my new neighbour being one of them)
@@BooksToAshes Oh no, not a neighbor. But just know they need the validation.
@@Jonathan-B_ Of course. The loud exhaust is very, very cool after all
Sylvia, Buehlman, Gywnne & Abercrombie are my favorite authors! If you loved Blacktongue you should read the Daughter’s War, Between Two Fires & The Lesser Dead. Some other books I highly recommend, Boudica Dreaming the Eagle by Manda Scott & Daughter of the Empire by Feist & Wurts which should be read as a stand-alone. Also The Lions of Al- Rassan by GGK & The Warlord Chronicles by Bernard Cornwall!!
I am definitely reading all of those! First chance I get! Thank you for the awesome recommendations, Heidi! ❤️
This tier ranking provided so much more depth to the reviews - I loved the whole list and get to know your relation to the books 💘 Also, it's a little bit funny not to agree on certain final classifications and placements (I might have checked my own database a few times that all is still alright in that place 🤣) but that's the beauty of it all :)...........e.g. I still can't get over the Hunger games series ranking even though I see your point 😂😂😂 though I have to admit that, as a teenager, I loved only the first two books because of the politics in the third one, but nowadays, I love the third book the most also because of the politics ☺😀 Hope you had found some fun in making the video for us, too, and wish you so many more books for the S tier ;) :)
I have to disagree on 1984. I wasn't able to get into that one and DNFd it, so I personally think it belongs a tier lower in you have to be realistic. Of course, I didn't finish it, so maybe it is objectively good, and I am just missing out. Either way, I loved seeing your thoughts on your 5 star reads.
Ah, I know. Tough to account for taste 😅 I do think the books is really good though, maybe not for everyone, hard to write a book like that. I just can't say one bad thing about it (besides that it's so damn depressing 😂) But I can see why you didn't like it and it's totally valid. As I said, hard to be objective 😊
❤📚📚❤️ Absolutely loved your tears ranking! Will have to come back and take notes because I couldn't get the lineup in a screenshot. 😅😅
Hahaha thanks, Starla! ❤️ I was thinking of adding it at the end, but frankly, I was half-asleep by the time I was finishing the edit, so... 😂
@libraryunbounded tears?! Omg, I wrote tier. Auto correct? Or, we were both tired. 😂😅😂
Perfect spots for Legends in Exile and Emma! 🌟 I don't know if someone has already suggested this (and I would be surprised if no one has), but have you thought about doing a video ranking all of the Harry Potter or A Song of Ice and Fire books? It would be nice to hear your thoughts, since you love those two series so much. But only if you wanted to, though. No pressure! I could never really get into The Hunger Games trilogy, surprisingly. I only enjoyed the first book, and I always thought it would be better as a standalone rather than as a series. Is that crazy of me? 🤔 I've also been meaning to read The Call of the Wild. It's been on my TBR for yearsss, even though it's such a short book, and I could finish it in no time, but I have yet to pick it up! The struggles of a reader, I swear...😅
Jack London books. I read those when I was in middle school (around age 14) and fell in love! When I was a kid, I would read all sorts of books about animals and adventures like that one. I need a re read soon
Oh, I can totally see you as a Jack London person! His books are so good and half the reason why I'm so in love with winter 💖
You might not think Hobbs sticks the landing until you read Ship of Magic!! Liveship is better than Farseer. The Shadow Rising is when WOT really takes off! Out of the 14 books, it is one of the best!
I'm really looking forward to it, honestly. I've heard so many great things about the second trilogy - it's half the reason I am looking forward to finishing the Farseer Trilogy 😂 I started it (The Shadow Rising) a few days ago and still in the early stages - 200 pages in or so. To be honest, all this romance is really getting on my nerves! 😅 If it was entirely gone and we could just get on with the end of time and all that, I'd really appreciate it 😂 But our crew is finally about to split up and do things, so I'm hopeful!
Hi Sylvia! Brian from Belltube sent me & looking forward to your appearance with him soon. I just subbed.
Oh, this is so cool!! Welcome, Heidi! (Love your name! 🌸) So happy you're here!
❤📚❤️ I read Harry Potter last year for the first time, and I'm so glad you moved it! 😊 I also wholeheartedly agree with you on And Every Morning the Way Home Gets Longer and Longer! So many I've read and had the same feelings. I didn't get to Beach Read this summer, as I don't read much romance, but I'm going to squeeze it into my August tbr now, before summer is over! Thanks for sharing your ranking!
Looking forward to part 2
