Book Recaps?

Is there any interest in book recap videos? I have trouble finding good ones on Youtube, and I'm thinking of making some myself. For example, I'm re-reading the Grisha trilogy and Six of Crows, and have taken really concise notes on everything. I could do this for other series too, and upload on Youtube? Idk maybe it's weird, but I just remember getting so frustrated when ACOSF came out bc I hadn't read the other books in quite some time and just wanted a video that went over everything lol

i’m trying so hard not to snoop because I haven’t read A Court of Mist and Fury yet and everyone on here is ragging on Tamlin and on one hand I want to know what my child did so I can properly punish him, but I really don’t want spoilers, you see my predicament?

🔮Jules Reviews🔮:

And I Darken by Kiersten White

“The price of living seems to always be death. And that is why you become a dealer of death. You feed death as many people as you can to keep it full and content so its eye stays off you.”

Synopsis:

No one expects a princess to be brutal. And Lada Dragwlya likes it that way. Ever since she and her gentle younger brother, Radu, were wrenched from their homeland of Wallachia and abandoned by their father to be raised in the Ottoman courts, Lada has known that being ruthless is the key to survival. She and Radu are doomed to act as pawns in a vicious game, an unseen sword hovering over their every move. For the lineage that makes them special also makes them targets. Lada despises the Ottomans and bides her time, planning her vengeance for the day when she can return to Wallachia and claim her birthright. Radu longs only for a place where he feels safe. And when they meet Mehmed, the defiant and lonely son of the sultan, Radu feels that he’s made a true friend—and Lada wonders if she’s finally found someone worthy of her passion. But Mehmed is heir to the very empire that Lada has sworn to fight against—and that Radu now considers home. Together, Lada, Radu, and Mehmed form a toxic triangle that strains the bonds of love and loyalty to the breaking point. (via Goodreads)

My Thoughts:

I thoroughly enjoyed this book! The plot was enthralling, and I especially enjoyed that it starts when the characters are children, allowing us to see them grow into the people they become. This book is wonderfully political, and addresses subject areas such as feminism, homosexuality, parental neglect, and religion. Set in a historical backdrop, this gender-swapped retelling of Vlad the Impaler regularly kept me wanting more, and I will definitely be picking up the next book!

Rate (out of 5 stars) :

Hi!

I haven’t been on here in a while! Woah!

I’ve graduated high school, started college, dropped out of college, and started again at a whole new school. I found myself only reading a book a year since I’ve last been on and honestly that sucked. With my new job and school I have so much more time to read and it’s been like waking up after a long sleep. I can’t wait to be back on here, new and improved.

:)
