    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 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

    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.

      @@farduusait’s not even an enemies to lovers, it’s more of a bully/victim dynamic. That changed when Jude gets control over him, after that it’s more enemies lovers. I hate that kind of thing, usually, but it didn’t bother me in this book, maybe because it wasn’t the central focus of the story, and because Jude actually stands up to him and everything

    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 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 ☺️

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.

    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.

    Omgg I understand why you didn’t love it, I kinda felt the same in the first book but beyond that I just loved it 😭😭

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

    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.

    That's so funny I recently finished reading ignite me and while waiting for restore me I decided to read the folk of air trilogy and just finished the cruel prince xD

    First book I loved but I’ve never read fantasy so I don’t have much to compare to. Second book I started and left unread for so long but it pained me to read considering how much I loved the first. I finished the second and was okay with it. Then I flew through the third book and was kinda obsessed again LOL. I understand why people don’t like it. Me personally, I liked the characters and overall liked the books. :)
