Can you pick a favorite character from this Grishaverse? Mine is maybe Nina, maybe Kaz, maybe Nikolai?? Even Kuwei gets a shout out here lol David??? IDK!!!!
cari cakes definitely Nikolai
Kaz, but oh my does my heart have a spot for Nikolai, and I fell in love with Nina and Zoya during King of Scars and Inej is wonderful, and the Darkling as a character?!?
Ugh hm i always struggle between choosing Jesper or Wylan but honestly every character is just so lovable 😭
Oh man, my best friend has a lot of thoughts and feelings about the darkling hahahah i feel like the netflix show is going to be rough cause the character they cast is so charming!!!
mmmmmm Kaz???? Nina?????????? Wylan???? i love them all so much
I CANT BELIEVE UR MENTIONING ME BECAUSE I WATCHED UR CHANNEL WAAAY BEFORE EVEN JOINING BOOKTUBE!! my 2 worlds are colliding now lmao. crooked kingdom destroyed me lmao im so glad you enjoyed the series!! if u ever wanna buddy read lemme know, i've been a longtime lurker of ur vlogs but also get pumped whenever u share what books ur reading :)
OMG literally your book vids KILL me what a coincidence hahahah I felt like you captured my feelings perfectly in your crooked kingdom broke me video HAHAHHAHA
We, who follow both channels: most ambitious crossover ever 🙀😍🎉
u two are literally my favorite youtubers omg...... When Worlds Collide 🧚🏻💕🧚🏻💕🧚🏻
OK THANK YOU UNIVERSE FOR THIS CROSSOVER! 🙏🏻
@@andresifuentes5815 Right?! I love it! 😍
six of crows was legendary. a cultural RESET 👏😤
👏👏👏
I have an issue, my favorite character is a man who gouged someone's eyes out, he's a drug-dealer, a thief, a liar, and the most violent character you'll ever come across. :)
his name doesn't happen to be kaz does it? ;)
@@Ella-qe1ll HONEY you have no idea but it's like him and 20 other guys and none of them exist btw
@@saskialorena5264fr
@@Ella-qe1ll Have you read throne of glass?
yeah but he's also a teengae boy with a crush when he's in the proximity of a certain spy
I think my favorite thing about these books is how complex the characters are. I remember I read it before I made everyone else in my life read it (oops 🤭) and I kept telling everyone about Kaz especially: “he’s horrible but I love him and he’s good? But he’s bad and... 😫😫😫” Lol!
right?! he's live a actual mob boss (with all the ruthlessness that comes with that) but he's so?????great???????
I STILL SPONTANEOUSLY CRY AT THE THOUGHT OF CROOKED KINGDOM 😭😭 leigh bardugo needs to pay for therapy
No literally .. As I finished I kept thinking about it and getting big sad
I'm literally going to stop reading Crooked Kingdom bc I saw someone on the video where Leigh introduces SoC say they feel empty after reading the second book like they need MORE and I hate THAT feeling so so so freaking much I'd rather stop
Crooked kingdoms is my favorite book of all time, with six of crows being my second favorite. I re-read crooked kingdoms recently, I still cried. HOW COULD THERE BE 6 CHARACTERS WHO ALL HAVE FLESHED OHT AND COMPLEX BACKGROUNDS AND PERSONALITIES AND CHARACTER GROWTH IN JUST TWO BOOKS!! I didn’t love the grisha trilogy but I loved a lot of the characters in it. I have king of scars, it’s next on my tbr! I love the grishaverse so much!❤️
🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼💯💃💃
you're so good at explaining books without any spoiler!! I could never!! 😂👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
i had to write and stick to a script for this video so i didnt mess anything up hahahah
I was/am really apprehensive about the Netflix show but Leigh is really really supportive of it and she’s pretty involved (not sure exactly how) and is constantly posting about how cool everything is so.... Idk, I’m excited but I still don’t wanna get my hopes up and get my heart broken Percy Jackson style 👀
:'))))) yeah im excited for the trailer and have my hopes up but...im scared hahah
"..Percy Jackson style" 😔
the percy jackson movies dont exist only perry johnson movies
She is absolutely PHENOMENAL even her book of short stories language of thorns is beautiful. I think you should give shadow and bone another try because king of scars will make so much more sense!!
oh trust me i've already started rereading the whole series hahahhahahha
@@caricakes if you get the chance you should listen to the audiobooks as well-- absolutely phenomenal. Tried to listen to six of crows to go to sleep but the voice actors do such an incredible job that it kept me awake!
SoC is probably the best ya fantasy series. It has diverse (race, sexuality, disability and body size) characters who aren't just someone's love interests (as happens in many ya books), everyone has their own motivations and aspirations. Imo characters make or break any book and these characters are very memorable.
imma read these now and hopefully experience some form of emotional damage
lmao what we live for hahahhah
I felt you SO MUCH when you mentioned that the characters of shadow and bone start out as really annoying because I also read SOC first and those characters are so complex, and interesting, and charming. It's kinda hard to top them in that sense hahaha.
I just finished reading both books I’m absolutely heartbroken how tf am I supposed to move on????
Ikr! 😭
Did you move on?
I started it this week after watching one of your past videos where you mentioned reading it and I’m already on Crooked Kingdom. Holy. crap. It’s so good. Steadily becoming one of my favorite YA novels!! thanks for the recommendation:)
right?! such a good series!!!!
Six of Crows duology is one of my favourite fantasy series ever. I can't wait for the Netflix series.
I finished Six of Crows yesterday and it was so amazing, I don't remember the last time I finished a book so fast. I immediately bought Crooked Kingdom and I'm already so into it too!
Your impressions about the characters were so spot on, thank you for this video. None of my friends have read it and no one pretty much cares, so it felt like I was understood and able to feel everything through here :3
I’m a librarian so I LOVE that you love books so much and Leigh Bardugo is a masterful writer! Actual watching your last couple videos has made me really want to recommend books to you! If you haven’t heard about this one it’s called Beast Player by Nahoko Uehashi (translated by Cathy Hirano) you might really like it!
adding to my list thank you!!!!!!
My friend introduced these books to me. I’m so glad she did because they’re soo good!
keep that friend!!!!!
coming back to this video 4 years later. I’ve just finished Crooked Kingdom and now understand why you needed to make a separate channel just to talk about this duology. I want to SCREAM, cry, and laugh. I want to stand on a rooftop and tell everyone just how much this book hurt me. and yet I can’t thank you enough for this recc - THANK YOU CARI!!!
I just finished watching Six of Crows because of your recommendation and OH MY GOD CARI?!?!?! SO GOOD?!?!?! I just started Crooked Kingdom and ahhhhhhhhhh. Thank you so much for recommending this series!!
If you like Six of Crows you absolutely HAVE to read The Raven Cycle and The Dreamer Trilogy (In that order)!
Looking it up rn 👀
Yeaaaah omg Cari u definitely should!!!!!
OMG yes Raven Cycle is so good!
ImGoldenChannel actually I hated the raven cycle trilogy 😩 I had so many issues with the open plot holes and just..so many things left unanswered and unsatisfactory. As someone who loved six of crows five years ago and still raves about it I don’t think it comes close to Leigh’s duology..
Six of Crows is my favorite duology EVER.
GURL you just made me really excited to start reading the series
I read Six of Crows last summer and put off Crooked Kingdom until I was on winter break because I knew I was gonna be devastated when it ended. All I can say is that I’ve been in a book hole ever since I finished because nothing compares.
You made me pick up six of crows and boy am i grateful! I finished crooked kingdom last night and i am a mess! it ended so perfectly but like what do i do with my life now? I completly agree that the second one was better in the sense that we are more attached to the characters, they are more developped (also romance lol) But yeah! it got me out of my years long reading slum, i read some books here and there but ever since High School i just haven't been the reader I used to be but now all i want to do is read more books and I am so grateful to these books but also to you for recommending them! Will definitly keep an eye out on your book channel for more recs!
Oh no, hearing you gush about Six of Crows makes me want ti reread it and that means I’m going to have to become a sobbing mess because of Crooked Kingdom😂🙈😭 but I’m so happy that you love the Six of Crows duology, it’s so good and I think Nina, Jesper and Matthias are my favourite characters💛
I haven’t heard of these books until now lol so thanks for the recommendation. I’ll probably tune in for the Netflix series first and then read the books. That’s usually my order 📺📚😎👍
hopefully its coming out at the end of this year!!!
When I read those books, I started with Shadow and Bone, then finished the Six of Crows duology, so I was also surprised at the way Ruin and Rising ended, thinking I had it all figured out because of Crooked Kingdom haha nope. I guess Leigh Bardugo really got us with that "people-known outcome that is different than what actually happened".
I borrowed Six of Crows from my friend ages ago and it's just been sitting there. This is the motivation I needed to start reading it 🙈🙈
Was searching for book recommendation videos whole day and u blessed us with this video! Thank u I'm so excited to read new books
yesss just dont finish the entire series in a week like i did cause you'll want to savor it :)
@@caricakes hehe noted :)
Can I just say that after reading the Six of Crows and Crooked Kingdom, after watching the show, after reading King of Scars, I really wanna read a book set in either Novyi Zem or Shu Han because these countries still feel so unexplored to me and I just need more from that world.
“Most of you may have read this already”..... Me: **sweats nervously** yeah we all read it 👀
LOL that was me a few weeks ago hahahah
It's in my book recommendations but I've been skipping it for years. 😁🤦🏾♀️
THE SIX OF CROWS DUOLOGY
BRILLIANT, BRILLIANT MASTERPIECE! ❤️
one word
KAZ FREAKING BREKKER
I’ve just started the first Shadow And Bone book, I’m enjoying it so far! Mainly reading them so that I can get to this duology, everyone I’ve spoken to about these has recommended them. Great video!
ughhh girl i adore you so freaking much! your videos are literally my favourite!! and i know i've told you this before, but because of you i literally started my own youtube channel! so i just wanted to thank u again for being such an inspiration ily
consistency is definitely the hardest part but you can do it!!!
cari cakes thank you love!!
asia lanzi She has a macbook (dont know which one)
I've been waiting for this video and it's finally here yay👏
yessss!!!
I'm actually reading Six of Crows!!! and i got so excited when i saw you made an entire video on the duology, i clicked so fast! hahahaha
(And thank you for not spoiling any of the plot points TT)
I am so so glad I picked both Six of Crows and Crooked Kingdom up because it was one of the best reads I've had in forever. I so loved the books and now I want to delve into the Shadow and Bone trilogy and the King of Scars duology. So excited for it. Thank you so much for introducing this series to me!! 💗👌👌
I am now finally listening to the audiobook of Six of Crows. ( writing these comments before seeing the video) I am about 18 % in and at this point my favorite character is Inej! I want to re-read the Shadow and Bone series afterward. And I get that we have to have the build-up about how the six crows come together and all ( currently am at the scene where they planning on rescuing Matthias), I am finding myself at this point where I am like: I want this mission to start, when does it start? And I am so hoping the build-up of crowding the crows together won't take that long. And I love that whole mission thing and the chemistry between the characters. But as they started about why the mission has to take place ( the drug thing) I was like: meh. This really doesn't catch me. Why are you not asking more questions about this, I want more explanation for this shit :D And thank you You got me into YA fantasy again and I love it.
no cause the casting for kaz is insanely perfect im actually obsessed with freddie
AHHHH!! I've been so excited for this video!!!
yeeee its here!!!
watching cari talking about books just makes my day and relaxing me so much i cant even word it properly :')
p.s: ilysm!!
im OBSESSED with six of crows duology help
Loved the new video! The grisha universe is so intricate and definitely one of my favourites. I would recommend We Hunt the Flame by Hafsah Faizal. It has a similar vibe. Also it was super surreal to see my comment up on the screen!
you know it's been too long since you've read ruin and rising when you're having the hardest time thinking of what plot twist you're talking about haha 🙈anyway Crooked Kingdom is gold and I'm so glad you made this video!
This video made me feel a whole lot better about reading the duology first !!! I’m gonna go back and pick up the trilogy to not let go of this world just yet
I've been watching all of your book videos recently because I wanted to get back into reading, so when I saw your IG story today about a new book video, I was stoked! And I am surely not disappointed, with so many recommandations I just didn't know which book/series to read first. Well, now I know! Thank you so much!
its a good problem to have hehhehe and thank YOU!
Sooo... I’ve been waiting for this video since you started reading Crooked Kingdom at the same time as me... I’m waiting for the lockdown to finish to get the Shadow&Bone trilogy & King of Scars so I can read them. Thank you thank you thank you! I love Jasper & Wylan together, BTW!!!!
I love ur book recommendations!!!!!!!!!!!! Keep it up!!!
thank you!!!
I just got it today. I bought because I knew I would like it and now I’m on the verge of crying with emotion to read it ❤😂
Omg, I started the Shadow and Bone trilogy and got so addicted! Finished it in two weeks! Thanks for the best book recommendation I had in years!
My favourite CZcamsr talking about my favourite book series? Am I in heaven?
I've been meaning to read this duology ever since I finished the original Grisha trilogy and this video finally made me bite the bullet and stop procrastinating. Waiting for them to arrive in the mail now ♥ I can not wait to dig into this universe again!
I'm literally going to stop reading Crooked Kingdom bc I saw someone on the video where Leigh introduces SoC say they feel empty after reading the second book like they need MORE and I hate THAT feeling so so so freaking much I'd rather stop
I was literally listening to the audiobook to Crooked Kingdom cause I needed a break and then I see this 😂😂
omg is it your first listen/read? I wish you LUCK with the ending omg so many emotions hahaha
i put a hold out for this book from the library last time you mentioned it, and it became available today? the same day you post this? the universe is sending me a SIGN
OMG yes! happy reading hehehe
I’ve only read the first few chapters of Six of Crows and I’m super confused
Maybe u just start with shadow and bone
Yeah I'd like to second what the person above me has said, or you could just stick with the book because it'll start making sense soon. I had the same problem btw, because I started with SoC first, but you can start with Shadow and Bone if you like...
Added to my list for the month. Going through books mad due to the lockdown in the US, so I can use all the recommendations.
Well I apologize for the havoc these will wreck on your heart but at least we'll be in the same boat hahahhaha
I've been in a reading slump for YEARS mainly because of university. But you've really made me excited for books. I'm a little scared of fantasy that isn't George RR Martin lol because I read some where the writing was just hideous.. BUT I will give these a try!
OMG!!!! i loved this video!!!!
i've only read the six of crows duology and now i can't wait to read the rest. i'll make sure to read the shadow and bone triology before king of scars now hahahah
thank you for inspiring me as always
😍😍😍😍😍
I’ve read shadow and bone series after six of crows and I love the six of crows series more and appreciate it a lot more, you can really tell Leah Bardugo really improved as a writer
So happy that you posted another book video!! I will have to check these out :)
This is most definitely one of the best book review videos I have seen. Thank you! I am going to start the series and I think I’ll start with Six of Crows?
Ahh omg I never thought I’d see one of my fav vloggers make a whole video about my fav books!! I’m so glad you read and love them, they’re truly spectacular and better with each reread imo. Also 100% agree that the casting for Kaz is pure perfection - I loved that little edit! Hope you’re doing well Cari 😊
p.s. what are your thoughts on the darkling ?? 🙈🙈
I also only got on the hype-train for the Six of Crows-duology late last year and woah, what a ride. I love all the characters! The care Bardugo took to explain their backstories and motivations was amazing. The only thing that I never fully bought is that Kaz is 16 or 17 at the beginning. Or any of them.
Because of the netflix show, I read six of crows first without checking reading order and stupidly thought it would start with Alinas story lol anyway, just finished Crooked Kingdom and omg I just want more from these characters and I'm looking for some fic to fill the emptiness now :''')
Wow I just started Siege and Storm today so this is literally impeccable timing lol
hahaha buckle up!!! i very much appreciated the twist :)
You really made a video!! And here I thought it'll be to much to ask for in your previous vlog since it's unlike your usual book talk/recc videoTT thank you you made my day. These books also destroyed me 🤗
Love being destroyed by a good book hahahha
I have had my eye on these books for a while.You just gave me the final push to buy them. I just ordered six of crows.
Hi Cari!! Finally a book recommendation video, I love them so much! 😭💜
I bought six of crows when I saw that you loved it on instagram (I got the kindle version) and I probably will start it soon, but I really didn't knew anything about those books or the universe of the books so when you said that they have a chronology I admit that I'm thinking if I should start in the ridht order or start with Six of Crows 😭😭
I'll watch some youtube videos and see what is the best for me.
Also, I wanna ask if you read the Hunger Games series already and If you liked it because there is a new book coming and I wanna know if you will read it (If you read the triology first).
Anyway, have a nice week Cari, and please do more book content, I love them! Have you ever thought abou doing a reading vlog or a reading marathon? It would be fun to see your reactions during the processe of reading a book (I really laughed so hard when I saw you freaking out about the Six of Crows ending on instagram hahaha) 💜
Anyway, have a nice week and thank you as always!! 🤗💜
hehehe thank you! and yes im excited for the new book!!!! i would say six of crows is a great place to start but thats just me :)
Started Shadow and Bone today so wish me luck lmao
Oh no, more books to be added to my never ending TBR list! 🙈 I’ve read the Shadow and Bone series which I thought was ok, but I couldn’t get that into it and I didn’t care that much for any of the characters. But now I think I’ve got to read Six of Crows! It sounds really different to Shadow and Bone!
I have heard so much great things about this universe but haven’t read it yet. Unfortunately my library doesn’t have any of it on libby so now I have to find an alternative
oh no!!! worst case, some of the audiobooks are up on youtube!!
*Waves* 😄🙌 Hi! I'm Lily and I'm also a fan of Leigh Bardugo and all the worlds she writes and creates! I'm also a fan of you and your CZcams channel! I love watching you go to cafes and or different adventures 😆 I think my favorite characters were Alina...of course. Nickolai, the darkling, Kaz, Ineji and Nina.
The best books take a part of your heart with them when you’re done
i love love LOVE your book videos!! please keep doing it ❤️
thank you!!!
Did I just see a fantasy fangirlism in you pop out? Lol sending you love and best wishes!
i dont know what happened to me hahahaha
FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO WANT TO KNOW THE READING ORDERRRR OF THE GRISHAVERSE BECAUSE YOU'RE REALLY VERY CONFUSED ON HOW TO READ THEM, HERE'S THE CORRECT ORDER:
1. Shadow and Bone series
a) shadow and bone
b) siege and storm
c) ruin and rising
2. The Six of Crows Series
a) six of crows
b) crooked kingdom
3. The King Of Scars Series
a) King of Scars
b) Rule of Wolves
You're Welcome XD
I’ve been thinking about purchasing the books but I’ve been a bit hesitant. Thanks for the recommendation and stating the order in which to read them cuz I was a bit confused about the order.
Thank you for your amazing videos!!!💜
thank you for watching!!!
Love the recs, currently reading shadow bone!!!
wahhh hope you enjoy the series!!!
cari cakes thank you! ☺️
i started reading this series as soon as it was announced that there was going to be a show (I think last January? I can’t believe it’s been that long) and while i thought the shadow and bone trilogy was okay, I was hesitant to pick up the six of crows duology but boy was I wrong. this duology means so much to me since it’s what got me back into reading. also, i actually did like king of scars-I mean, it was a little underwhelming since I started it right after finishing crooked kingdom, but I love nikolai so it was an easy read. Can’t wait for book two of king of scars and the Netflix show (I love the cast so much already)
I loved this series! So happy you loved it as much as I did! 😍😍😍😍
I wanted to love Six of Crows so bad! But ugh, i'm on the last part of it and honestly I was bored most of the time... It took more than halfway to get to the heist and before it i just didn't care about their past stories and couldn't get attached to any of them. At least the heist part is more interesting. 😔
Guys I was in a bookstore and randomly just picked up king of scars and rule of wolves without knowing shit and now after watching these vids am scared af is the series worth a read? And what book should I start from I'm so confused???
start with either shadow and bone or six of crows!! don’t start at king of scars, you will be spoiled for both series! six of crows is a lot more complex than shadow and bone, but shadow and bone is still enjoyable.
@@eveprickett thank you so much, yea I did a lot of research and figured that out. I'll read shadow and bone first, then six of crows and then king of scars and rule of wolves, I bought all of them and am now gonna read.
Six of Crows is one of the best books in the world ever. Hands down that’s just the truth
Six of crows has been on my to-read list since you first mentioned it. Think I'll have to finally break it out today!
Yes!!!!!
the soc duology literally changed my entire life and Idt I'll ever love another book that much
I stored six of crows in my library for years but now I'm intrested in reading it.
Put a hold on Six of Crows after seeing how much you enjoyed the series and now I'm even more excited to read it!
When you posted on Instagram about these books, I started looking for them, and now I really have get my hand on the books, and start reading them, one way or another.
had six of crows on my bookshelf for months now I’m finally gonna start 😌
YESSSSSS
I came back here because after watching this, I bought the Six of Crows duology and I AM OBSESSED 😂💗 Thank you for this video 🙌
YESSSSS
I started watching this video having no idea about this book series I honestly just wanted to watch something of yours.. but now I'm intrigued
2 weeks ago Leigh Bardugo made an InstaReel about the right order: Shadow & Bone, Siege & Storm, Ruin & Rising, Six of Crows, Crooked Kingdom, King of Scars. I was so happy that I didn't even start yet and now know what to do :D
I just got a text from the delivery company that my book has been shipped! Can’t wait to start reading it!
My six of crows arrivedddd today. Thanks for the rec.
I’be only read Shadow and Bone but I didn’t like it that much. I’m going to give the Grishaverse a second chance thanks to you.
Oh I‘ll give it a shot now. Even though I liked the concept of the first 3 books, I just didn’t liked it at all (just like her I cared about some of the characters a BIT in the end only). It may end up being good as a show though, sometimes they end up becoming waaay better as screen adaptations (like the vampire diaries and gossip girl that are bad books but the shows are quite descent)
Excuse any English mistake 😣
