16+ Books đ„ Popular and Underrated YA Fantasy DUOLOGIES
I kinda feel the same way about a third Six of Crows; It feels so perfect where it was left and there's no pressing reason to continue the series, however, I have enough faith in Leigh that she could do something great in a third book. I honestly hope that if she decides to write it, it's because SHE wants to and she has a continuing plot in mind that makes sense, not just a tag along book for the fans because they demanded it.
This 110%!!
The 3rd Six of Crows book would pick up where Rule of Wolves left off. I think it'd be more of a combination 3rd book for both series
After the fan service that was the KoS duology, I have lost my faith in her đ hopefully sheâll come through and give me hope again though
samee but i kinda just want a fluff book with short stories
@@dhruvik1711 that would be so fun
Six of crows duology was definitely my fav of the grishaverse, but I feel like it ended so well that another book would be forced. Donât get me wrong, I want more of their story, but⊠the way bardugo ended it felt pretty complete and I feel like anything extra would just be epilogue fan service stuff. Idk đ€·ââïž
exaaaactly!
I honestly think duologies are the best way to do a series. Either that or a stand alone. I need more duologies series.
1:20 THE BROOKLYN 99 REFERENCE I LITERALLY LOVE YOU
YESSSSSS!!!!!!
i love that as a book community, we all thought the inheritance games was a duology. we were all bamboozled
strange the dreamer is a great duology! I finished the first and then read the second all in one sitting till like 3 am. Its a great adventure, the romance is so sweet, and the magic is really cool.
Strange the dreamer is my favorite duology that Iâve read so far! I loved the story and the world so much!
Omg its a duology?!! I totally thought it was a standalone!!
Sheâs back with the skits đđ» I continue to cackle with pure joy !!
đ thank you!
Same đ
I was really shocked when I found out that The Inheritance Games became a trilogy... I can't wait for another yearđ
Weâre in this together đâ
24:11 We hunt the flame
19:08 Six Of Crows
My favourite duologues
I waited for the Inheritance Games for about 10 weeks. Read it all in one sitting. Now I'm waiting another 10 weeks for the Hawthorne legacy. I blame you!!! đđđ
đđđ sorry not sorry!
@@caricanread I just got the Hawthorne legacy 9 weeks early!!!!!!! I can't wait for work tomorrow to start listening to it!!!
Lovin this video! Duologies don't get enough credit.
I don't want it a six of crows third book, like you said, the second was one of the best (and heartbroken) endings I've ever read
Exactlyđ€§đ€§đ€§
since weâre talking about duologies i would like to mention one of my favorite duologies: CRIERâS WAR. the world building is amazing and it has a f/f slow burn enemies-to-lovers romance that made me go insane
I just so happy that we as a book reading society ALL loved the inheritance games
bahahahah yessss!
I know this is late, but when it comes to Six of Crows + Crooked Kingdom, I view it as a duology. Itâs two books with a complete story. Adding another book, based on the end of Rules of Wolves, is like a start of a new story. With the same characters. A new stand alone, a new series, who knows. But they would stand on their own story wise.
Like how Shadow and Bone and King of Scars + Rule of Wolves are pretty intertwined, continuing character arches and such, but still their own stories in the same universe.
But with the Inheritance Games, I completely agree with you :)
literally get so happy and excited whenever i see one of your vids thank you so much! đđđ
thank YOU so much!!!
I agree with so many of these!! I would also add The Crier's War duology because I recently read them and absolutely loved that series!!đ
I could listen to you talk about books all day, you have such a way with your words đž
You articulated my exact thoughts on The Violent Delights! I didn't really like the story while reading it either but I'm still looking forward to Our Violent Ends.
I also feel similarly about the third Six of Crows (which I only got to know because of this video), I think the duology is perfect as it is đ„ș
I definitely feel the same about Six of Crows! It makes me so happy to hear someone talk about this and also your opinion on King of scars and Rule of Wolves. I also think it was not written out of the same intentions shadow and bone and six of crows were created. On my channel I did an entire video about why I didnât like the last duology.
I like how I continued every characters individual story in my mind and donât want to destroy this đ
I really enjoy your videos and you were one on the reasons I started my channel! Hearing that you share my opinion on the fact that six of crows might be continued just makes me very happy đ„°
Raybearer is such an amazing duology!!! Highly recommend. Like nothing I've ever read before.
I totally agree about These Violent Delights - the last scene really saved it for me, and now I'm excited to see where that plotline leads! Also the gentle scream at the start...a mood
Yesss and the person in the ~scene~ is one of my fav characters đ±
@@caricanread me too! I'm hoping for a higher volume of scenes for them in the second book đ€
I remember reading First few chapters a while backing hadn't a lot trouble getting into it. I guess I romanticize more of the setting and wasn't too crazy about the writing style
You make me want to read everything your mouth drops LITERALLY! Love you, u are amazing!
A duology I absolutely adore is the This Poison Heart duology by Kalynn Bayron. The second book oddly has the opposite effect as some of the ones you talked about where it is significantly shorter than the first one, and a lot of the really interesting stuff happens in the first book. Both still absolutely worth the read for fans of The Secret Garden, Greco-Roman myth, and urban fantasies though
*aristotle and dante discover the secrets of the universe* is getting a sequel in like 2 weeks after almost a decade so uhhhhh one of my favourite books is now becoming a duology woooooo
I WANT MORE WYLEN, JESPER, INEJ, KAZ AND NINA DAMN IT!
Edit: Mathias đą
You make your videos so interesting by those act clips!!
Lovveeee your background Cari!!
Loved the video
my favorite dulogy is passenger and wayfarer by alexandra bracken, itâs genuinely so unique and well-written and i love the dynamics in the second book
It was so cute when cari was guiding us to close our eyes to be safe from the spoiler đ
"I'll tell you when to open them...don't open them yet...okay now you can open them"
i thought i was the only one, idk why even I thought the Inheritence games series was a duology and had to look it up to see that it was in fact a trilogy.
I think duologies would be perfect for me so I'm really glad for this video!
I've been getting into duologies more so I was very excited to see your video! I'm currently reading Into the Dying Light which is the last book in the Age of Darkness Trilogy.
Ps. This trilogy is fan-freaking-tastic!! Highly recommend
You did it again, I laughed out loud at your reaction to The Intelligence Games and it's sequel. Hiding in your bed, been there done that. đ Just picked them both up last week. Haven't read them yet. I didn't know there's another one next year. đ± Love your channels. đđđ
Bahah thank you! And enjoy them đđđ
I just finished reading These Violent Delights. Completely agree with your opinions on the book. Super excited for the second book!
đđđ
Is it bad I had to DNF These Violent Delights? đŹđŹđŹ It was more historical fiction with a monster than fantasy, imo, and as much as I loved roma's cousin and best friend, I really wasn't vibing with Juliette. And I didn't feel the chemistry of the 2 leads. I reeeeeally wanted to love this book.
I finished reading these violet delights in like a week I'm so excited for the second book
Thank you for the spoiler alert! I recently bought six of crows and I've been super excited for it since I got it đ the whole internal universe thing is still something I don't get but I'm sure I'll get into it at some point đđ
So I was browsing through the ana Luisa website the other day and came across this necklace called âcari reversibleâ I loved it so much and I immediately bought it
I read some of the reviews and people were saying how you announced it on CZcams! So of course right away I subscribed to your main channel (I love your vlogs!!) and then I saw that you have a booktube channel!!!!!!!! Iâm so happy I found you!!!!!!!!! â€ïžâ€ïž
Ahhh as for the ROW spoiler I 100 percent agree that felt a bit off for me Iâm so glad someone else feels the same way
NOOOO YOU JUST DROPPED THE 3RD BOOK BOMB ON ME!!!!!! đ i started reading the hawthorne legacy TODAY and i literally told my friend 5 minutes ago that i hoped this was the last one and i didnt think there could be more plot for a third book :,) its fine cool cool cool
THE WORST FEELING đđđđđđđ
I love This Savage Song! It's one of my favourite duologies đ„Čđ„Čđ„Č
just started our dark duet last night!!
I thought that Flock and Exodus by Kate Stewart were supposed to be a Duology but thank God for The Finish Line because it revealed some integral information that the first two books lacked to explain the mystery and secrecy behind the brotherhood
omg I thought the Inheritance Game series is a duology too! I also have the second book preordered(it arrived on my kindle the day it was released) and THANKFULLY I had other books to read. So now, with this video, I'm debating whether to even read the second book this year or I should wait till next year.
Yesssss i also thought the Inheritance Games was a duology and now aghhhhgggh!!! I am not even going to read the second one right now because i cannot tolerate going back to that story and not finishing it... I will wait till we are more closer to the release of 3rd
These are the vids Iâm waiting for đ
đđđ
I just realized that im the 100 000th follower, but yes six of crows ended perfectly and I don't want it to be ruined arghh
I recommend Jordan Ifueko's Raybearer + the follow up book Redemptor. I am yet to read the second one, but if its anything like the first, then it'll be really high on my duology favs!
Did some cursory recon and Shanghai of the 20s and 30s was considered to be like Paris and NYC, so the author of "These Violent Delights" probably got the mise-en-scene pretty authentic. I recommend the film "The White Countess" (James Ivory, 2005) if you're curious about what Shanghai was like.
I love how you break this stuff down.
Thank you always!
Love your new sketches in the videos đ also very interested to learn more about ya fantasy which I know barely anything đ
omg its a wonderful world heheheh
Hi ! I am French and loving your content but for some reason .. your accent is sooo soothing đ€Łđ€Ł your videos are kind of like ASMR but on a subject I like đ
yuus i 101% agree with you on SoC and KoS duology! the same thing that happened to me when i read vicious, i was satisfied with the ending, that i didn't continue with vengful lol (maybe some other time.) so a third book of SoC? tbh, it lowkey scares me LOL.
Alsooo, i finished the first three books of The Mirror Visitor, and i am having a major book hangover. it is not spooky, but it def have that studio ghibli vibes and a little of pride and prejudice? cant wait for your next vids!! âĄâĄ
Loved this! Can you please do another video of your fav none YA Fantasy duologies?
I CRIED... I cannot wait for the Final gambit-
i love books with characters that feel human. thanks for the book recs.
Loved this video! I just found your channel today and have found this and your other ones like it so entertaining and helpful! I write YA fantasy and am trying to get published for the first time. Maybe someday I'll make it on one of your lists đ
hard hard agree about six of crows three. it's also why i was super nervous for it to be adapted for tv. i don't want the show to change my perception of the books, which are perfect to me
exactly :''''(
I read Fable & Namesake thanks to you, when you did the recommandation months ago and I loved it! I heard about the Last Legacy but I didnât know it was in the same world, def will read it!
omg yay!!!! i love those books :'''')
Not sure this would be your kind of story but Disruption and Corruption is a dystopian duology by Jessica Shirvington that I devoured and love soooooooo much!!
There is always place to add in new books in my tbr
Read the Raybearer duology by Jordan Ifueko. It is my favourite one this year đ„șđ I stumble on it in a book club and it needs to be talked about more on the booktube. The second book just came out last month and OMG â€ïžđ
A good (short) spooky book I read was The Tale of Halcyon Crane by Wendy Webb. Ghosts from her past (both real and imaginary) start following Hallie after she gets inheritance from her recently deceased mother, who she had believed to be dead for 30 years. While on the isolated island where her mother lived, she starts remembering things she would have rather stayed forgotten. Very fast read and Hallie is a little oblivious sometimes, but overall I enjoyed it and itâs spookyness factor.
A great spooky book for October is We Played with Fire! Just read it and loved it, it's based on a true story as well which makes it even more eerie...
Omgggggg. I didn't even know the the inheritance games is a trilogy. đ”đ€Ż.
Whyyy!!!!
Now I have to waitđ
Spooky books (no idea which you've have read cause I'm a recent subscriber): The Broken Girls by Simone St. James, The ghost tree & Near the bone by Christina Henry, The Twisted Ones and The Hollow Places by T. Kingfisher, Rules for Vanishing by Kate Alice Marshall, The Return by Rachel Harrison
Omg yesssss thank you!!!
i absolutely love these kind of videos!!
yay!! thank you!
a duology iâve read is âthe crownâs gameâ and the second one is âthe crownâs fateâ by evelyn skye. really got me back into reading novels during high school. try reading this one :)
itâs a historical fantasy with a bit of romance set in russia and follows vika and nikolai, each with their own magical powers. the tsar of russia needs an enchanter by his side russia is being threatened so he starts the crownâs game which is like a duel/test to find the best enchanter so vika and nikolai are to participate in. the victor becomes the imperial enchanter and the loser dies. there are many twists and turns along the way.
not a fake a duology. all finished ;)
I thought too that The inheritance games was a duology! đ My reaction was the same at the end of the second book, except the screaming đ Now we just have to wait another year⊠but I read that a series based on the books is already in production and I donât know how I feel about that đ€ I just really hope they nail the characters of the four boys đ€đ»
I feel the same about continuing the Six of crows books. I would read it, of course, but I donât think itâs necessary. Also, it wouldnât be the same, because⊠well, you know why đđŹ
I actually closed my eyes and didnt open them, i'm so proud of myself
No idea if you have read this but "The Hazel Wood" by Melissa Albert is definitely spooky (also a tad bit weird, you will be confused). And I just finished "Winterwood" by Shea Ernshaw (witches, magic woods, a sprinkle of romance and mysterious books) fits for fall but ultimately also a good winter read
Another great YA duology is the Between duology by April Genevieve Tucholke! The two books are Between the Devil and the Deep Blue Sea and Between the Spark and the Burn. It's a great dark, paranormal/urban fantasy with characters I loved. Highly recommend!
ohhhh looking it up! thank you!
The Call by, Peadar O'Guilin (also a duology, oddly enough). Super creepy fall vibes. Fairies as they were originally portrayed. Absolutely terrifying monsters. I recommend the audiobook if only for the pronunciation of Irish names.
Yessss to creepy fairytales!!!
Omg thanks I love scary fae!
Renée Ahdieh has written another duology Called Flame in the Mist, it's a Mulan retelling and while it's not the best thing I've ever read and pretty classic YA story, I did really enjoy it
The second book was really annoying.
the âcool cool cool cool cool coolâ told you off. Youâre a Brooklyn 99 fan!! đđ
I actually really love This Savage Song. I read it few months ago. I read it only in 3 days, which is amazing cuz I still had to do school stuff and english is my second language. I hope I can get my copy of Our Dark Duet asap. It's pretty hard to find the second book here :") there are some stores, but expensive af for my student budget
I just got the inheritance game on libby and I'm so excited đ
wahhh hope you like it!
All the stars and teeth duology.
I haven't read the second one yet, but really enjoyed the first.
I thought so too. Largely because a chunk of popular books that have been released recently ended up being duologies so itâs all the rave now and I automatically assumed so until I stalked her on Instagram (because I love her) and saw the final gambit.
Hi Cari! Have you read âa good girlâs guide to murderâ by Holly Jackson? Itâs mystery/crime. That was the book that took me out of a reading slump last year! Love from Portugal! :)
o m g same! i tried to read another book while in a reading slump and i hated it i couldnât get through it. but then i picked up a good girls guide to murder and loved it! it was SOO GOOD!!!
Loving the comedy bits đ you're so funny
only 1.21 in and that's how I feel finding OUT THERE IS A THIRD BOOK?!?! NOOOOOOOOOOO (keen to see the rest of the video)
it's 2021 and same - reading six of crows was the first time I really thought about duologies and kind of...recognised them? previously to this year, I hadn't really read any duologies, but now I feel like there are so many that I've read or want to read.
Chuck Wendigâs The Book of Accidents is a great spooky read for October!
It's really fun watching this in 2024 when the 5th book in the Inheritance Games is coming out later this year as well as a spin-off series đ€Ł
SOMEONE TALKING ABOUT THE WRATH AND THE DAWN i read it years ago and like there is no fandom or anything and i adored it
You missed out my favorite duology!! Strange the Dreamer and Muse of Nightmares by Laini Taylor. They are the most magically and beautifully written books I've ever read-- would highly recommend itâšâš amazing world building, amazing plot, amazing characters and amazing romanceâ„
Nothing to do with this video (although it was great!), but I just bought some Osulloc Moonwalk tea (online order) and, Oh My God! It's amazing and it SMELLS amazing!! Thank you so much for mentioning it multiple times in your videos!!
Since we are on the topic of duology, I totally agree with you Cari, that Descendants of the Crane needs another book. GAHH
right?!!!!!
Oh my gosh! Just started reading the Hawthorne Legacy the day before yesterday. Noooo! Well too late now. I have to finish it. And then patiently wait for the next book. (tap tap tap tap) đ€Ș
You wont be alone đđ€§
i love how you tried to attempt shahrzadâs name with respect! you were very close đ in my culture, itâs pronounced âshar-zaadâ. great video as usual â€ïž
I feel like most trilogies or longer series have inconsistencies in quality so Iâm definitely a fan of duologies
I think you might really love The Mask of Mirrors by M.A. Carrick. It's a very complex Venetian-inspired epic fantasy--and my favorite book of 2021 so far. It will be a trilogy, with The Liar's Knot coming out in December (so not a year's wait between books!). I'd love to know if you like as much as I did!
Owo I see a Cari reads video right after Coldplay x BTS this is a good morning!!! This Savage Song and the Inheritance Game are going in my tbr, (We hunt the flame is already there) thank you đ
I can think of two duologies you didn't mention: Ashlords by Scott Reintgen (Blood Sworn is the sequel) and The Merciful Crow by Margaret Owen (The Faithless Hawk is the second book).
They're both YA books that feature magical elements and revolutions; Ashlords includes a dangerous race upon the backs of alchemically designed horses called Phoenixes (because they die at sunset and are reborn by sunlight). Merciful Crow is a caste-based world where each caste has their deities born among them and have access to the magical powers of their caste...also there's a plague that can kill anyone within a day except the "powerless" and dirty Crow caste.
girl you are almost at 100k omg
i'm watching this while eating gnocchi (the recipe in one of your videos)....what a life
omg now im craving gnocchi at 8am, great job THANKS hahhah
you should totally read cemetery boys by aiden thomas for october! its a super sweet and cozy standalone with elements of fantasy and mystery
I also thought that the hawthorne legacy would be the last one đ youâre not alone
đđđ
Okay so i'm a bit older so you'll probably have not heard of these, but they are still great:
Tinker & Wolf who rules by Wen spencer
Fire Bringer & the Sight by David Clement-Davies
Eon & Eona by Alison Goodman
Newer:
Carve the Mark & Fates Divide by Veronica Roth
Daughter of the Pirate King & Daughter of Siren Queen by Leven Sellier
WarCross & WildCard by Marie Lu
I felt the exact same way about The Inheritance Games. I had actually put off reading it until the second book came out this month and I only found out there's going to be third book after finishing the first, I blame myself for not checking before reading...
Gracias! Pocos videos exiten de este tema en Español y me ayudaste bastante.
tbh i read Our Dark Duet almost four years ago and i still mourn the ending
omg i guess i really do need to read it then!
@@caricanread u really should! that book sealed my love for the duology
I reread it earlier this year and it broke me again
