- This is the start of my new reading vlog series... I'm reading popular books for the first time to see if they are worth the hype! I'm starting with Throne of Glass by Sarah J Maas! It's a very popular YA Fantasy book that's really hyped everywhere on booktube (and Goodreads!) so I decided to give it a shot!

For anyone that might have missed it. I didn't really like ACOTAR but after everyone said book 2 was better I read ACOMAF. I really liked it (even though it had some weaknesses) it was so much better.
That's why even though I had heard the first 2 books in this series weren't the best, I'm still open to continuing. I'm not trying to torture myself for fun :)
BookswithEmilyFox seriously so true! It gets better.
But 1000% agree with her being the worst and ew Choal and Dorian. Wait for Rowen... he puts her in her place.
No spoilers I promise. I read the first book and was like meh. Second book was much better. Third book Rowan happened. Fourth book jaw dropped. Fifth book omg. Just finishing Tower of Dawn now and loving it. Kingdom of Ash is waiting on my bookshelf. Seriously, it gets so much better. I personally think that Sarah J. Mass has a thing for powerful couples (nothing wrong with that) and I think that I like Feyre and Rhysand more. Btw, cringy sex bits warning, you're not gonna like those. I enjoy them but just heads up.
I didn't read the serie myself, but I guess it would be a waste of time. On your bookshelf you've so much more books that can be vlogged like this. Why don't read the secon rainbow shelf and vlogged it for us? It would be a variety of genres, and it would keep things interesting.
Actually while i hated the first book , the second one was my favourite , then it all went downhill from there . The only good thing that came from this entire series is a character called manon , she's the only thing that made this series bearable
My main problem with this book is how the main character was supposed to be the best assassin ever, but she was so incompetent and so full of herself for no reason🤢😰😤
Yeah... same lol
Agreed so much!
tru!! and personally, i didn't think it got any better with the other books ;__;
WHAT ASSASSIN EATS RANDOM CANDY LEFT OUT FOR HER AND GETS SICK?!! I hate this book.
My main problems were that Celaena was half a mary sue half actually ok character and they never left the castle. Really? Sarah J Maas made a whole fantasy world around the characters and they stayed in one place. If the second book wouldn't have ended in Celaena going to Wendlyn I wouldn't have continued the series.
*She has no redeeming qualities... She’s pretty. And she hasn’t died yet* 😂 my favourite review of this book!! Brilliant! I couldn’t believe you were so hopeful honestly!
For me, the problem I had with Throne of Glass was the tone of the book. You have a "hardened assassin" in a medieval fantasy setting who has the personality and emotional capacity of a modern YA contemporary character. It makes the entire book feel unbalanced and cringey.
Well said!
I really hate the women hate in books and the "not like most girls" trope too and it really annoys me when the author is a woman who is doing it. Like, can we please support other women?!
Yeah agreed. Like she was almost raped by other guards in the mines but she's okay with all the guards she sees daily and smiles at them but the horrible women who look a her pretty dress or wonder why she's with the prince... gotta smirk at them!!
Made no sense to me :/
@@BookswithEmilyFox Wasn't that some other woman though that was? I for some reason thought that wasnt her. She killed guards for raping someone else though.
I would definitely watch a review of the second book. I haven't read any of them and this video was pretty entertaining, so I say yes, read the second one!
Lol
the answer is no and im so looking forward to this
Haha I might agree... we'll see :P
Exactly
Don't know how I feel about these premiere notices
I'm testing it to see how everyone feels about it but I like the idea of "we can all watch it together live" and I get to reply to comments live too so it might be fun!
I kept clicking to see if I can watch it even though I saw the time it'd premiere. 😥😐🙃
This is going to sound mean ... but I love it when you read books, you know you're not going to like .. 😅 I like hearing your opinion and you are very unapologetic, which I really enjoy. As long as it's not too cruel for you, I'd love to hear more about these books (that I don't want to read myself 😂 )
I just started reading Throne of Glass recently and my reaction to was similar. I'm not really a critical reader and I've like a fair number of bad books, but so far from what I've read of this one I've just been really frustrated with it. I think I would have been less bothered if her flaws (like her vanity) were actually presented as flaws. Or if early on it actually showed her skills-- like opening with her escape attempt instead of mentioning it briefly. I'm still working on reading it because I really wanted to like it and I went into it really hopeful, but it's been a hard process.
The eye color thing is foreshadowing
Believe it or not, Celaena get even more insufferable as the series goes on. I first read the series in 2015 and by book 3 I was done with it but kept reading out of obligation. I was also not a very observant reader back then so I missed all the foreshadowing.While I'd be curious to hear your thoughts, I'd honestly say only continue to read them if you want to hate-read cause otherwise it's not worth the time or energy, especially if you didn't like the characters already. Also I've always read Chaol as Kale but I have no idea if that's right or not. Also also love the bunny ears headband!
100% agree with everything you said
I thinks she’s funny
Saz stop being so NeGaTiVe
Liv Herrick it’s truly fair points though
Please help me. Who does celaena end up with at the end of the series? I need to know if my ship will sail :(((
No. I think there's no point in continuing a series if the first book sucks (I gave Throne of Glass ONE star, one of the worst books I've ever read).
Thing is I didn't like ACOTAR and had no intention of continuing. I eventually did since everyone said it was much better... and it was. Still had weaknesses but it was MUCH better so I'm hoping it will be the same for TOG.
Worst case scenario it's entertaining to rant lol
The sass in this video is giving me LIFE 😂💗
I love seeing people talk about these books! It’s so entertainingg
I waited all daaaaaay!!! OMG it was torture that’s now been remedied lol
Hi Emily!! I hope you'll continue reading the series. You'll still find more problems in the upcoming books but the world became so much bigger and the plot of the whole series is so far from the first book. Also, I love the friendship aspect of this series and you'll find Celaena's character development in the later books! 😊
These series is getting better and better!! Please finish it . I promise. It would have been such pity if you stop. The character deplovement is real and Sarah writing is getting better . Please don't sleep on this.
this series is so white, cis, straight and cliché for me. the plot is okay till book 3, after this one is kinda messy, the characters change abruptly to serve the plot and keep the story going. i think the fandom that the author gathered through the years is very loyal to her, they close their eyes to every problematic or sloppy point of the series due to their passion/obsession with the characters/worldbuilding and nostalgia feeling. well, that's my opinion, i loved this series at the beginning, but, fortunately, opened my eyes and used my reason instead of my emotion. :/
Walace Ávila PREACH IT!!
This book reminded me how much of a character driven person I am. I went into it because the plot sounded interesting but I can't stand Celaena and now i've been stuck on page 113 for weeks. Also I don't believe for a second that she's an assassin. Even less a good one. I still wanna finish it though because I like torturing myself I guess.
I agree that Celaena is pretty insufferable in book 1... but as someone who has read all 7 books I PROMISE you her character development throughout the series is amazing! The story itself also becomes waaaay different than what occurs in the first book, by book 3 its like an entirely different series (but for the better!!)
I'm definitely hoping so!
@@BookswithEmilyFox I agree! The first two were pretty average but by the end, they get really good!
I thought she got better in book 2 and 3 and a whole lot worst in book 4-5 when something about her was revealed....but I agree that characters who are annoying in book 1 can have amazing character development and become amazing characters overall. It's just that Celaena is not one for me.
The series definitely has it's flaws all the way up to book 7 but I still love it, it gets so much better. Some of my fave characters are the ones not introduced until books 3 and 4
I totally agree! I just finished the last book and have been thinking about how much the series has grown since the first two books. There are still issues of course, but man, I LOVED the series as a whole.
Your facial expression looks like a spoiler to me haha
Maybe... maybe not...
I think the post its is where it's at... :P
Please continue! I love hearing your opinions!!! Especially on Sarah’s books, I love them but your opinions all make a great point!
This type of vlog-video is so much fun! I still haven't read this book even though it sits on my shelves (literally collecting dust, I just went and dusted some off lol). For being an assassin she seems very much NOT like an assassin. 🙈
This video is exactly what I need since I just started ToG too and I can’t push forward. Lol. It is so cringey! 😫 since I have mostly the same taste in books as you do, I’m pretty sure this vlog will heavily influence my decision to read through (or not). 😬
I really enjoyed that reading vlog format. that really let us know more about your opinion. looking forward to the next ones.
about that series in particular, I don't think you should keep going. most people say it gets really bad after book 3
It's funny because some people say that... some say it only gets better after book 2... everyone is so divided!! That's why I wanted to read this series to begin with lol
@@BookswithEmilyFox personally My favorite Is The 4th, so yeah Is very divided haha
Oh, I got so excited for a video to see that it's just advertised. :(
Kim E same
Ah sorry! It's a new option they give us to announce a video coming up so we can all "watch it live together" and I get to reply to comments live too. I wanted to test it and see how it went... it sounds fun :)
@@BookswithEmilyFox is it something that will be saved afterwards? It airs in my time zone during the normal work day. I don't think my boss would appreciate a booktube break. 😂
Maybe this would be better if the notice that it's premiering was closer to the actual time so we could look forward to it without being as disappointed by the wait. (Not trying to be mean, just suggesting)
I didn't know what would happen with the notifications so I was testing it. It is less than 24h away but I understand. I'll probably do it more like 1h before if I can next time!
the bunny ears at 8:45 i'm cryinnnnn you're amazing
Time from me to unhaul it. I was on the fence about reading it and this has made up my mind. Btw: I love your eye rolls. They are the best.
I say don’t torture yourself. Yes it may get better but how much better? I feel like there are so many other books to read out there that why waste your time on ones that you won’t enjoy.
YES. You absolutely have to continue. I have a love-hate relationship with this series, too. Though yours seem more like a hate-meh-hate relationship. This video made me laugh so hard!
I have to say though, Heir of Fire really got to me and I'll probably continue with this series just because I like re-reading it. But Throne of Glass, oh it made me roll my eyes so much. Celaena's character was made to be so whiny, pompous and childish. It gets better though, you get used to her like you would an annoying best friend, she grows on you.
Eventually.
Give or take 3 books in.
The writing also irritated me because it felt like the author wanted to include everything she loved in life into it (aka clothes, chocolates, books.) It's a bit much. It is supposed to be an assassin book after all. A lot of it felt out of line from the plot, unnecessary but included for the writer's whims. And please tell me that I'm not the only one who noticed the gazillion exclamation points in this book. I don't think you need that many exclamation points to get emotions across.
I've pretty much rolled my eyes endlessly reading through this series. Something about her writing just cringes the heck out of me. I probably get exhausted reading her books, not for their sheer volume, but from tireless eye rolling. HOWEVER, yes there is a however, the plot does get good. Like REALLY good that it will make you want to stick it out just to find out what happens. So it's worth to give it a go.
Plus even if you hate it Emily, it would be so fun watching you cringe your way through this series. I, for one, will be tremendously entertained. :D
wishesonaeroplanes Celaena was a teenager who was a slave for a year if
Throne of Glass is not that special tbh, but it gets really good when everything start to unfold in the third book!!
It's just a tough sale when you have to tell people they need to slug through 2 whole books before it gets better lol
I shouldn't have to read 2+books for a series to get good or for things to 'start' to unfold. if it takes that long, its because the writer is dragging it out or has a poor editor, imho.
I have the same opinion for The Dark Tower series... that first book was painful lol It's hard to want to continue!
It’s not that they aren’t good, it’s just that they are not that special. I still enjoyed them en wanted to read more, and I’m glad I did ‘cause it got really interesting. The first en third book seem like two entirely different series lol. But everyone there own!
But if you don’t like the third book I would give up haha
I hated this series... I tried very hard to stick it out I made it to the third book and dnf'd and 70%. It was pure torture... I've never loathed a series more 🤣 Life is too short to read bad books! ha ha. They weren't for me.
Life is short. Don't waste your time on this trash and read something that you think you'll actually like. At least that's how I try to choose my TBR.
I tend to think of Celaena’s bravado as a youth thing. All teenagers tend to be obnoxious at times, myself included at that age. I’m hoping more info about her feelings towards other women will come about in later books. But I vote you keep going. I’m loving the snark and it’s making me look at it in a different light.
It just seems like she had a rough time becoming an assassin (can't have been easy with lots of these type of men around) and then was almost raped in the mines by guards... yet she has no issues with men. Idk I'm just not understanding her at all right now :/
YES CONTINUE THE SERIES
YES, I love this. Please do continue doing them! I mean I don't care much for the Throne of Glass series but I'd love to see this kind of vlog with other books.
I loved this. I haven't read this series and I don't really plan to, so I say you shouldn't torture yourself with the series... but this was fun, so if you feel like it, keep reading ;)
It’s entertaining to see your reactions. I’m cool with whatever. I just love your videos! ❤️
Omg lol “like why are you smirking at women?”
You crack me up, ur my fav.
I didn't like Celaena either, however I kinda miss her now that she's become Aelin, who's even more big-headed then she ever was which is saying something, the arrogance has become unreal.
Yes! Her character changes so much. Really all of them change so much and so many new characters are introduced.
i really think you should continue with the series, if you really enjoyed ACOMAF i think you'll love book 3, 6 and 7. those books are all about character growth and you really see Celeana change, and grow. I think the books in-between are okay, but definitely worth reading fors book 3,6 and 7.
No! And I am so glad I wasn’t the only one that hated this book!
I’ve only read the first two books but the second one does get better!
Girl I love it! I am a mother of two young girls and I think of these things when they watch the classic Disney movies and as I read current books! It makes me have a new perspective on things and I have faith that you will go on to teach other young women of the unnecessary things in this days society. Keep doing what you're doing!!!!
I vote stop at book 1. Everything you said I felt about book 1 too and it didn't get better for book 2!
i love that you are brutally honest about these things! stuff like this also bothers me and keeps me from being able to enjoy a book so im grateful for your videos! no way in hell im starting that series...
I am so glad, I'm not the only one that doesn't like this series. Everything you said, I did too when reading it! Please keep up with the series I would love to know your thoughts as the series goes.
“She’s just a complete asshole” agreed! 😂
This was in my recommended bar as "new" not as premiered so I was hella bummed when i clicked and I can't watch yet :(
I really wish they did this differently! I wanted to test it and the idea of watching it live with everyone and being able to respond to comments live is fantastic but... yeah :S
I'm nervous about this, because I found the book entertaining and I'm like OMG WAS SHE ENTERTAINED? WILL SHE HATE IT? This premiere is worth watching live 😱

@@BookswithEmilyFox I appreciate the fact that you saved the grumpy cat after the video premiered! hahahaha
The bunny ears came out of nowhere and they are amazing!!! That was a better twist than anything in Throne of Glass! 😂😂😂 I'm also going to keep my eyes open for something like that for face masks though cause that is amazing!
I've never seen anyone who has a more powerful eye roll. Your eye rolls are both beautiful and savage. And friend, let me tell you, your lip color is gorgeous!
Yes! Keep reading. (If you want) I thought the first book was meh and wasn't going to continue but then thoroughly enjoyed the second and on. I'd love to see if you enjoy it as the series goes on! I'd love to see you do a reading vlog for "A Winters Promise" and see if it's worth the hype!
As much as I loved this vlog (I hated this book, and I had a feeling you would too, based on your tastes), I can’t make myself vote for you to keep torturing yourself, so I’m saying no to continuing. But if you do continue, I’ll be here for every vlog because this was hilarious.
I might read a few other ones in between and ask again lol
I don't mind continuing since it's entertaining to post about it afterwards and they're easy to read!
I love how you keep it so real! "I can't even finish the chapter before complaining about these characters!" Lol I couldn't finish this book because the characters were so horrible! That being said one of my favorite series had a horrible first book but I'm glad I pushed through to the second book, so maybe this is the case with Throne of glass?
Don't continue it's a waste of time
Yes, please continue to read the series. Love your videos, you are my favorite booktuber 😍
Loving the salt, I’m all for you keeping reading for more salt and tea! 😊😂
I feel like it gets sooo much better so I vote yes to continue!
I hope you keep reading, even if you’re not crazy about them it’s still entertaining, I’ll for sure keep watching if you keep making them
You made me laugh so hard with your harsh opinions, it was hysterical!
Definitely do more videos like this one in the future!
I don't know why everyone hates it so much I personally loved this series
the eye thing is rlly important later on, and i feel like i’m the only one who’s in love with this series 😅
I’d really like you to read the second book in the series, I’ve been very cautious to start it and I trust your opinions on books!!!!
Definitely continue! There are a lot of things that you're reading about right now that don't make any sense, but they will as you continue to read the series. Celeana definitely isn't my favorite protagonist, but I love some of the other characters and the magic system. As much as I love SJM, I do agree with much of what you've said in this video.
The bunny ears headband! 😆 So cute!
i was giggling throughout this whole video , cuz it's one of my favorite series 😂 , but i understand everything you said, whenever caelena is like 'i'm the strongest assassin blah blah " i'm like shut up caelena & just freaking kill them already . I think you should continue just so i can see your reaction when you read book 5 when it starts featuring MATURE content 🙃
same! XD this has always been one of my favourite series to the point i've re-read it 3 times. except like, each time id see foreshadowing and enjoy some things more, i also found a lot of flaws and just things i didn't like. For one example: in QOS where some characters just make abrupt changes in personality to serve the plot??? like tf why? But somehow i managed to miss this?? i dont know how, tbf i havnt read the series in like 2 years and this was my first introduction to all these tropes so i think i just missed it? dont ask how XD damn this is a big comment, not what i usually do
agreed,when you read the whole series its epic.The dots must be connected from 'the assassins blade' till the last.Well,
people have different tastes.
YES , please do continue to read the book series.
😀
I say continue! Definitely entertaining haha! I read the first book and didn’t want to finish the series at all. There was a big gap before I picked up the series again and now I’m on book 5. I started really enjoying from book 3 on but it’s just a fun, get out of a slump series for me. I’ve read each book in between heavier high fantasy and historical fiction series I love. I think if the story started at book 2 or 3 it would be much more redeeming series for people.
I'M TELLING YOU THIS SERIES GETS SO MUCH BETTER. THE FIRST BOOK DOESN'T EVEN REFLECT THE GREATNESS OKAY EVEN THE SECOND BOOK IS MORE AMAZING YOU HAVE TO CONTINUE OK OK. haha but seriously it's my favorite series ever and I never thought i would say that about it when I spent literally two years to read the first book.
Continue the series! Celaena grows as a character, and you meet all the amazing characters in book 3.
Your ranting was so entertaining to watch, so I definitely vote for you to continue. Haven't read the series myself yet but a lot of people say it gets much better so I hope this will be a repeat of ACOMAF for you.
Definitely continue! I liked the first two books well enough to continue, but I struggle to go back and re-read them now. Books 3 on it's almost like another series (but not in a bad, disjointed way, just in that the characters have grown up so much) and it even switches from YA to NA which works well too.
This was super entertaining! can't say I'll be reading them but I love reading vlogs.
POST THE VLOG ALREADY, PLEASE. I WANNA SEE YOUR REACTION READING THIS BOOK. I'M TOO EXCITED AND I HOPE THERE'S GONNA BE A LOT OF TEA.
Yes, please keep reading the series! (Whenever you feel like it though)
I love your accent, it’s like a big part of why I watch your videos more frequently than other booktubers lol. Also your taste in books is very similar to mine and you give honest reviews which is pretty rare on here 🍒
I lowkey want you to read the next book. I got to the third book and ended up just dnfing it about a third in. After hearing booktubers talk about the series I don't feel bad for not liking it anymore.
Honestly they get a bit better but not much...I liked the second one when I read it and I really did like Tower of Dawn and enjoyed the rest enough to continue (haven’t read the last one yet) but it’s really not anything special. The main character kinda sucks all the way through but there were some side characters I like. Personally, I think the only redeeming quality is the large intricate plot and interesting world-building. So yeah the series as a whole is highly flawed but they’re not terrible to read. I’d even say they’re enjoyable/entertaining but overall not worth the read unless you really enjoy the world and characters from the get-go. Personally, I’d just read the second one and the third one (cause the story changes drastically from book 3 onward) to see if you like it and if not just finish there.
Why keep reading if you don't enjoy it? There's no reason to do that to yourself. -Kaelene
Because I didn't like ACOTAR and liked ACOMAF (only reason I picked it up was because everyone told me it was better than book 1!) So I feel like I want to continue to see if it's the same here since everyone told me it gets better!
@@BookswithEmilyFox In that case, I hope you enjoy book 2!
I don't want you to feel pressured to read something you won't enjoy but if you decide to do it I'm all up for another episode of Emily Rants! Laughed so much with this one 😂
The first time I read this book, I honestly thought that someone was selling their fanfiction on kindle. I tried reading it multiple times, and even started the second book at one point, yet I still couldn't take it seriously. The main character was so underdeveloped that she didn't even have a personality other than being pretty, acting like a brat, and being quite a hypocrite. I'm all for flawed characters, but only when it's the author's intent (Maas seemed to be going for quite the Mary Sue and it backfired, hard). Mind you, I read this when it came out in 2012 and I was 13 at the time. It's probably been a good five years or more since I last tried to read this book and it still haunts me to this day. Throne of Glass had potential and I think that's what makes me so upset. I bought it because the premise was interesting and the main character sounded intriguing. It's a shame that it was published the way it was because the book would've turned out alright if Maas had thought over it more. I've heard great things about ACOTAR for years, but the exposure I've had to this author has convinced me that I'd be wasting my money.
Yes continue to read the series!!! I love when you call popular books out on their bullshit
I knew you fould feel thaht way about this book! Celaena or whatever her name even was is one of the most annoying characters ever! I don't see how was she supposed to be the sassiest assassin if all she did in this book was eating candy, putting on dresses and flirting with the prince???? It's a mystery to me why this series is so popular. When it comes to you continuing to read it, I would say it depends - the series gets a bit better to then get worse later, but in a different way than the first volume. It was a hate-reading party for me for sure!
I'm not finished with the series yet, but I think The Assassin's Blade (the prequel) is way better than the first couple of books. Maybe read that and see if you like it better.
Yes please continue!
I love this series, yes it has its flaws but it was the series or book in that matter that gave me that push to try out high fantasy. So I am kind of biased and I never noticed any of the real flaws in the books or was bothered by the writing, but this was way before I discovered booktube and people loving to rant on this series....I personally, LOVE Crown of Midnight, its my fave in the series and I think the next books after that are really good. Quite lengthy and heavily romance based, so if you don't like that don't continue the series. But there are some really great characters you get to meet and some great arcs to follow along the way. So, I think you should decide.
This video make me love you even more. Your eyes are very expressive, it is very hilarious. Loved watching your reaction to thr book 💜
I really liked this series and she was a spoiled brat in the first two books, but in the third and fourth book she really grows as a character. I would recommend reading it, since this series really evolves especially with the 4th, 5th and 6th book.
Yes continue!!
This is one of my fav reviews you've done I don't know why but thank you for this experience ALSO I saw you started reading the book on goodreads and I told myself if /you/ liked it then I have to pick up the series. this is the best warning video I've ever seen.
I really can't understand how anyone over the age of 17 could read the first book and honestly like it and/or want to continue the series.. I really am not trying to be an ass... I truly cannot fathom why.
Yes!!! This was hilarious and honestly one of the most enjoyable videos of yours!!!
The thing you said with the eyes isn’t beceause of the romance, if you continue onto book two it’s a major factor of the plot. It’s actually just a smart thing that Sarah wrote about her eyes. I say definitely read number two
You know, the fact that the main character isn't a complete hero saving the world and making us barf rainbows and is kind of a dislikable character makes me like the books. It sets it apart from most books. Also, the plot gets more complicated and traps you in, so I hope you continue reading. It's not for everyone, but I loved it.
I’ve been so eager to hear your thoughts on this book as I’ve been very curious about reading this series. I don’t like starting unfinished series, which is why I haven’t started Game of Thrones. I vote yes for you to continue the Throne of Glass series. Also, I love the sticky tabs.
I say that you continue reading the series. I haven't read any of these books but this video cracked me up! Keep going! LOL
Not sure if anyone has answered, but her eye color is an important thing that will make sense by the end of book 2 and in book 3. I won't mention what it is because it would be a spoiler
I often describe Throne of Glass and Crown of Midnight as prequels to the rest of the series lol. There's such a gigantic shift in the scope and focus in book 3.
