    I love will so muchhh. The love triangle is so addictive. I spent half of the time crying while reading the series. It's just so amazing,lovable,heartbreaking and everything u could ever wish for. Btw I think Magnus is the core who keeps everyone together most of the times
    Edit: u should definitely read mortal instruments, dark artifices, and the last hours series( the 2nd book is out)
    Itsss soo good. I'm sorry for babbling too much I go crazy everytime I talk about shadowhunters

    Hello, I am watching you videos for quite some time and I really like them. I also have soo many Books but I don't have bookshelf to arrange them so I have to keep them in wardrobe.
    In this video you talked about the infernal device by Cassandra clare, so I was wondering that if a normal reader can read those books or not?
    I mean to ask is the language of the book is too complex or is it normal???
    I have read the book named "the silent patient" by Alex Michaelides and the language seems to ok for me (I am telling this because you will get an idea of my reading level.)

    • @fandomnewbie
      @fandomnewbie  Před 3 lety +1

      If you have read The Silent Patient, then Infernal Devices should be okay. Sometimes the language is a little bit flowery, but overall it is quite easy to understand 😊

    I have a question about the series "You read the Six of Crows duology before reading The Shadow and Bone Trilogy.
    Can we read like that?
    Does The Six of Crows Duology spoil The Shadow and Bone?

    • @fandomnewbie
      @fandomnewbie  Před 3 lety +2

      The Six of Crows duology spoils some aspects of the Grisha Trilogy, but nothing major. I read Six of Crows first and could understand everything, so you can do it that way.
      But yeah, chronological order helps. So it's totally up to you 😊

    Shruti, I know I've commented the same thing on other videos - but another series that any Potterhead HAS to try out is the NEVERMOOR series by Jessica Townsend. It gives you Hogwarts vibes and the writing style is very similar to JK Rowling's... that being said, the story and premise is brilliant and it is supposed to be a 9 part series. Currently, 3 books are out - Nevermoor: The trials of Morrigan Crow, Wundersmith: The calling of Morrigan Crow and Hollowpox:The hunt for Morrigan Crow. I would be super interested in what your thoughts are about Jessica Townsend's world building and characters of the Nevermoor world.

      Lord of the Rings is definitely tedious. If you are not used to high fantasy, then it can be difficult to get through because the world building is so extensive that the first time I read it, I felt like I was reading a history textbook 😂😂
      But once you persist and get through it, everything is worth it! If you do want to read it, I would suggest listening to the audiobook AND following along with the physical to make it easier 😊

    • @fandomnewbie
      @fandomnewbie  Před 3 lety

      Well yeah, because both Jemisin and Butcher combine Sci Fi and Fantasy to form quite a unique genre. But I think Tolkien had quite a big role to play in the future of high fantasy books. And I don't mean to take anything away from newer authors when I say that. I just feel it's a testament to the vast detail that Tolkien put in his work that it just makes it inevitable that a lot of fantasy fiction today would have some similarities to LotR.
