  There she is. I'm twitching.

• 1:05
  Trigger warnings from the author from the start of the book
• 1:09
  Violence, Torture, off page. Flashback of rape, consent,
• 1:13
  Withdrawn, Self harm, emotional abuse, slavery, references to
• 1:17
  sexual abuse, violence against children, explicit sexual
• 1:21
  contempt. However, she didn't put anything
• 1:24
  about blood play or blood drinking, which I was kind of
• 1:27
  like. Girl, how did you forget that
• 1:30
  you wrote the books? Maybe it's just implied with
• 1:34
  vampires? She was a human at one point.
• 1:39
  Scandalous. Right.
• 1:42
  So we're starting with the first book, which is The Serpent and
• 1:47
  The Wings of Night, And then if you haven't read the second one,
• 1:50
  we'll let you know before we start spewing spoilers.
• 1:54
  I'm going to say I was very excited because it out of the
• 1:57
  gate it was giving Vampire Hunger Games.
• 2:01
  That was gate, yes. I was flipping those pages, sis.
• 2:05
  I was like, I was like, yeah. And normally in a fantasy book,
• 2:13
  the early stages I'm very much like.
• 2:15
  Sad. They're sad, just a little.
• 2:18
  Sometimes they're just. Hard to get through.
• 2:20
  Exactly like this setup, Yes. And I was like, whatever, It's
• 2:23
  not giving a lot of set up. And I'm down for it because it
• 2:26
  was jumping right in. She was killing vampires.
• 2:29
  We know that. She's a human.
• 2:32
  Yes. Her name is Araya.
• 2:34
  Is that how you pronounce Araya? Araya.
• 2:40
  Araya Sunshine. So Araya OK first of all.
• 2:45
  Or Riga I was. Willing to suspend disbelief
• 2:49
  just straight out the gate, right?
• 2:50
  For. The fact that she's a human and
• 2:52
  she can kill these vampires so easily, who cares?
• 2:56
  I was like. Fantasy World is having the
• 2:59
  littlest, weeniest looking female main character, and
• 3:03
  they're being able to do the biggest things.
• 3:05
  Right. OK, can I just admit this is me
• 3:08
  being an idiot? And sometimes I feel like I'm
• 3:11
  not smart enough for certain fantasy books because I don't
• 3:14
  have the patience. I just get to the action and
• 3:17
  whenever it's all the blah blah I tend to like, my eyes just
• 3:20
  glaze over. I do.
• 3:21
  That too, all them interludes. I skipped all the interludes on
• 3:25
  purpose. I just went.
• 3:27
  I don't need to know this. I have a thing about backstories
• 3:30
  that I cannot cope with. Why?
• 3:34
  It's. Horrible.
• 3:34
  And it's always more poetic. Yeah.
• 3:36
  And that's the kind of writing I don't like.
• 3:39
  I don't even care if it's important.
• 3:40
  I'm like. I know.
• 3:42
  I don't need to know who gives a fuck.
• 3:44
  I'll just keep on guessing, yeah.
• 3:46
  Exactly. We'll put it together in the
• 3:47
  end. Take a shot.
• 3:48
  How many times Vincent is named first of all those first few
• 3:52
  chapters? Daddy.
• 3:53
  Resentence. But I was.
• 3:55
  Confused because. I didn't realize he was the dad.
• 3:59
  I thought he was the one who was going to turn her in the
• 4:03
  romantic lead at first, like the dynamic was very confusing
• 4:06
  because my reading comprehension is at 0.
• 4:09
  Fair, fair. She kept mentioning him and.
• 4:11
  Oh, his to be fair, she's. Draco Malfoy blonde hair and
• 4:14
  stuff. She.
• 4:15
  A little. Obsessed with Vincent?
• 4:17
  It never stops. I know daddy issues.
• 4:20
  Daddy issues. Is it daddy issues or does she
• 4:23
  Loki have? Oh.
• 4:26
  Stockholm Yeah, I feel like she has full stones.
• 4:29
  She just lives in a tall. Tower, yeah.
• 4:32
  Princess life. But why do people call her
• 4:35
  Vincent's whore from the get go? That's why I was confused.
• 4:40
  I don't. I.
• 4:41
  Want to question every little thing about Vincent if they
• 4:44
  think a small child growing up is his whore?
• 4:48
  Exactly. It's so many questions.
• 4:50
  And then the reveal at the end. So it's kind of like.
• 4:53
  What human human pet makes sense?
• 4:57
  Yeah, but also that was giving. It was giving a what was that
• 5:01
  bad book that we praised? It was giving hevison and praise
• 5:06
  it. Was giving.
• 5:09
  A little sex slave? Yeah, so at the gate, little sex
• 5:14
  slave. Except, oh, it's to Dad.
• 5:17
  To Dad. Anyway, so that confused me.
• 5:23
  If we had to play a drinking game for all the things that
• 5:25
  were said in this book repetitively, I'd be dead.
• 5:29
  Yeah, it would take a couple chapters between my little
• 5:33
  serpent. There she is, Ex's fucking tits.
• 5:37
  Goddess Mother. Yes, Vincent, I'd be out of this
• 5:41
  world. And they were the alternatives
• 5:44
  to fuck. But they did sometimes say fuck.
• 5:47
  They had. There was a lot of swearing.
• 5:49
  It was every dialogue, though. Yeah.
• 5:51
  So is she little serpent? Like, why did the female
• 5:54
  characters always have to have some shitty nickname?
• 5:57
  So Vincent was calling her Little Sepin, and then Reign was
• 6:01
  calling her Princess. So it was the same thing.
• 6:05
  And then Septimus was calling her Dove.
• 6:08
  I was like it, just never. Ends.
• 6:09
  Don't get me started on Sceptimus Snape.
• 6:13
  I can't even say his name. Stegosaurus Snape.
• 6:16
  Don't get me started. Snape inus.
• 6:22
  Napeness. Don't give me fucking every.
• 6:26
  Time. I read Rain's name.
• 6:29
  OK, this is what went in my head.
• 6:31
  I'd rather be drunk, but at least I'm alive.
• 6:35
  Rain on me. Rain, rain, rain on.
• 6:38
  I'm not kidding. Like at full volume, I couldn't.
• 6:43
  Stop. Oh no, because I just rain.
• 6:47
  On. Me.
• 6:49
  You got Lady Gaga? The.
• 6:50
  Craziest gay blasting song. And I'll imagine it's just like
• 6:57
  a muscled vampire and I'm just like, am I?
• 7:02
  OK. I'm not.
• 7:06
  I. Don't know what to do.
• 7:09
  But wouldn't that be a good vibe for the music video?
• 7:12
  Yeah, oh, when they do the Serpent and Wings musical.
• 7:16
  You know. Like for Lady Gaga's video,
• 7:19
  she's got this like buff vampire like, but he's.
• 7:22
  Ginger. So it's just a bit.
• 7:23
  But was he because it was black, red.
• 7:26
  Yeah, but all that fan art is red.
• 7:28
  Red. Do you look up the fan art?
• 7:30
  You didn't? I thought we went over there.
• 7:34
  You knew I wouldn't. You know I don't.
• 7:39
  Like why are you? Surprised.
• 7:42
  Oh. It's clear to me that you're
• 7:44
  just not as horny as me. Clearly, I think I only did it
• 7:48
  that one time and I can't remember.
• 7:49
  Why it was? For Satan too, or Jose Sad.
• 7:54
  Sad. Sad.
• 7:55
  Sad, sad and. Sadie Sad, Sadie Rain.
• 8:00
  They're all the same, dude. What does it matter?
• 8:01
  Oh, it's all actually. To be fair, this book is like
• 8:05
  copy and paste other books. OK, that's my thing with fantasy
• 8:09
  that tends to happen. Yeah, the plot lines get lifted,
• 8:13
  the characters get lifted and just and then put back down into
• 8:17
  a different book. Yeah.
• 8:18
  But it's the same. Kind of like with romance,
• 8:21
  anyway. Yeah, that's what you're paying
• 8:23
  for at the end of. The day you know the arcs like
• 8:26
  you know what's going to happen. To be fair, I don't know how you
• 8:29
  would write a book differently if you read so many fantasies.
• 8:32
  It's probably just stuck in your head.
• 8:34
  I just. Don't.
• 8:35
  Like it when books are really predictable.
• 8:38
  I never say it makes me angry for book 2.
• 8:41
  But it's. Fine.
• 8:42
  Let's not get started. Suck that back in.
• 8:45
  Let's not get started yet. Can we talk about?
• 8:49
  We know who. Araya is We know who Araya is.
• 8:53
  We know that she has to enter the kajari.
• 8:56
  Yes. But they didn't explain why.
• 8:58
  The key, Jari? Very well.
• 9:00
  I didn't know who was who in what tribe.
• 9:03
  I was like, huh? Yeah, it was all the blur.
• 9:05
  It was just a mash and they didn't say like when they start,
• 9:10
  exactly how many people who start.
• 9:13
  I think it's just it starts whenever starts.
• 9:17
  Whenever. Whenever, whatever her name
• 9:20
  feels like it. Whenever she.
• 9:22
  Feels like it. And it's whoever enters, so it's
• 9:25
  could be anyone from 5:00 to fucking 300 people, I feel like.
• 9:29
  So we could just be in a kajari right now, full of vampires.
• 9:33
  Yeah, who knows? It's not a very good one.
• 9:35
  Just turn on the news. You're like, oh shit, it's
• 9:36
  Kajari Day. I've got to go down to the
• 9:38
  fucking arena. Well, they get like sucked into
• 9:40
  wherever, Like they just pass out and they're just there.
• 9:44
  What was? The purpose again, I have one
• 9:45
  winner. Yeah, one winner, one.
• 9:48
  Wish but her wish to be tied to Vincent.
• 9:51
  Yes, that was the goal and to be turned right.
• 9:55
  Isn't that your point? No.
• 9:56
  Just to be. To watch them call it on tie.
• 9:59
  Together. This is where I was a little bit
• 10:02
  eked out by Vincent. Surely they're working up for
• 10:04
  her to be a sex slave. It was giving not her dad a lot
• 10:10
  of the time. Yeah, like he knew something and
• 10:12
  he was going to use her right to, like, wipe out the continent
• 10:15
  or something. Yep.
• 10:17
  I. Agree, I agreed.
• 10:20
  What do we what do we know about a riot, really?
• 10:23
  She's boring. At the.
• 10:27
  Start. I liked her.
• 10:28
  She was, yeah. Because.
• 10:30
  She was sassy. She was pissed off at the world
• 10:34
  she wanted her to be. She wanted to kill vampires.
• 10:37
  She wanted to defend human beings.
• 10:38
  She wanted them to be safe. She wanted her parents all the
• 10:42
  things. Like she was a bit blase about
• 10:44
  going into the kajari. She was a bit like, I just have
• 10:47
  to because my dad's making me. Yeah, but even her friend Iliana
• 10:51
  was like, don't fucking do it for him.
• 10:54
  Yeah. Literally don't fucking do it
• 10:56
  for him. I wouldn't do it anyway.
• 10:58
  What? I do not understand how she can
• 11:01
  be training for what she's 2323 years and she's going up against
• 11:05
  like 304 hundred year old vampires that have been training
• 11:09
  their whole life and she just wins.
• 11:11
  Oh. It was too easy as well, in a
• 11:15
  way, yeah. And it's it doesn't help that,
• 11:17
  you know, that she's going to win kind of thing.
• 11:19
  One thing that. Made me laugh so much.
• 11:21
  Is that they have these apartments.
• 11:24
  Why would you call them apartments?
• 11:27
  You're in these arenas. You've got these crazy mythical
• 11:31
  creatures and that, and then you're like, cool, I'll just go
• 11:33
  back to my IKEA apartment real quick.
• 11:35
  What? Yeah.
• 11:37
  It made it seem like they were unmarried at first sight.
• 11:39
  You know when they're in that apartment block and then they
• 11:41
  can like visit each other, but you can, you can kill each other
• 11:44
  between. To be fair.
• 11:46
  She didn't have an apartment at the start.
• 11:48
  She had a greenhouse. It was the time periods were
• 11:51
  throwing me off. How did she enter a thing that
• 11:55
  she's read multiple trials, everything about and she didn't
• 11:58
  know they had apartments? She just went into a greenhouse.
• 12:03
  You're telling me she read every single trial to know what she
• 12:07
  was up against and she just? Didn't OK.
• 12:10
  She didn't look at the campus section.
• 12:12
  No elephant manual. She didn't look at the whole
• 12:16
  maps. Can I just say how disgusted I
• 12:18
  was thinking about rain cooking in an apartment building?
• 12:22
  Disgusting. How dare he?
• 12:25
  But I'm imagining an IKEA apartment.
• 12:28
  So they're killing and maiming each other all the time, and
• 12:30
  they just and then they're like, oh.
• 12:32
  Let's just. Go get our.
• 12:34
  The wine and cheese charcuterie board right upstairs ready for a
• 12:41
  long day murdering. Also I want to point out I
• 12:46
  understand they had trials and they were allowed to go out at
• 12:50
  night time and they slept during the daytime.
• 12:52
  But there was a lot of times they were having big trials and
• 12:56
  then they were going out that night.
• 12:57
  So when was the trial? During the day and then they
• 13:01
  just. So they it's like they had extra
• 13:03
  time in between and she's like, well, I want to keep training
• 13:06
  with rain now that we've decided to be allies.
• 13:08
  But it just all seemed to blur. Like it just was like 1 long
• 13:12
  night forever. And they never really explained
• 13:14
  how far away the next trial. No, it was just weeks.
• 13:19
  If you're going to put someone in trials, wouldn't you smash it
• 13:22
  out in a month? Why are you wanting them there
• 13:25
  for six months? I know.
• 13:26
  You're going to feed and have these people.
• 13:28
  But at least with Harry Potter and the Tri Wizard Tournament
• 13:31
  and The Hunger Games, you knew the parameters of the event.
• 13:37
  Yes, the kajari was like you can just opt in and opt out and you
• 13:40
  can kill people outside and no one cares.
• 13:42
  Yeah. And then she got to.
• 13:43
  Twist the rules by sucking up to the minister.
• 13:48
  OK, that was just a cop out. That was a copy.
• 13:51
  Get me started. OK, we've got places.
• 13:54
  To be we're too. Far ahead, but still.
• 13:56
  We're too far ahead. I'll put a pin in that one.
• 13:59
  The first time she ever meets Rain, she stabs him in like she
• 14:03
  sees him across the room before they go into the Kajari when
• 14:07
  everyone's in the same place but the first time she's run
• 14:10
  upstairs to say if Ileana don't know why she would think she'd
• 14:13
  be any better. Ileana's a joke at this point.
• 14:17
  Though they did kill her off too soon.
• 14:19
  They did. They was.
• 14:20
  Like, what's the point? What's the point of her?
• 14:22
  The weird scarf lasted about a couple of chapters, but she
• 14:25
  stabbed him in the leg and then she continues to go kill a
• 14:28
  vampire. Like, whatever, I give up.
• 14:34
  But then they were like floating about her stabbing him in the
• 14:39
  leg. They're talking about his Dick.
• 14:42
  I mean. I just really found their
• 14:47
  conversations just like like, where are we?
• 14:51
  What? Literally though.
• 14:53
  You're telling. It didn't seem like flirting
• 14:56
  either, Like I just. I was flirting.
• 14:58
  With them. You know how sometimes you enjoy
• 15:00
  banter between the characters? Every time they were talking, I
• 15:03
  was like I was not getting the tension own.
• 15:08
  No, I was not getting the build up.
• 15:10
  I was not even getting enemies to love.
• 15:11
  Us. This man was already in love
• 15:13
  with her from day one. You can't tell us otherwise.
• 15:16
  You can't. You can tell from the moment.
• 15:19
  He's. Talking about his Dick cunt,
• 15:21
  it's. Just.
• 15:25
  Can we talk about how much Araya gets just fucking injured all
• 15:30
  the time and then magically seems to just.
• 15:33
  Be fine. Oh my God.
• 15:34
  As. A human being.
• 15:35
  I know. And these are bad injuries.
• 15:37
  Like she's getting stabbed left and right.
• 15:38
  She's fucking poisoned. Literally.
• 15:41
  So much happens to her every second.
• 15:43
  Page was like Araya's getting another life threatening injury.
• 15:46
  Well, the first trial she nearly got eaten, and I'm pretty sure
• 15:49
  she was shot with an arrow in the first trial too.
• 15:51
  It just is non-stop. Like every second page she's got
• 15:54
  a different injury. Like how is this dagger bone
• 15:56
  still alive? What is she doing and?
• 16:00
  I have not imagined. Exactly.
• 16:02
  Feed in that much pain. Constantly.
• 16:04
  She's always in pain, but then never mentions it again.
• 16:08
  No. It's hilarious because Vincent
• 16:10
  can just roll up at any time and give her weapons that are just
• 16:14
  way outclassing everyone else's weapons, and hers are infused
• 16:18
  with poison, but everyone else has just has normal weapons.
• 16:21
  It's no big deal. No big deal.
• 16:22
  They don't even have anything that would poison her.
• 16:25
  No, she's just banned herself stabbing.
• 16:30
  I honestly think not even that far into the book.
• 16:33
  She's held together with Gorilla glue and duct tape.
• 16:36
  Because, she said. Fuck.
• 16:37
  She's just a human. She's just this little.
• 16:39
  Space suit. She wears her weathers, yeah.
• 16:45
  Is that just holding her organs? It must.
• 16:48
  Be She's got a corset and she's holding her shit together.
• 16:50
  My God, I just don't understand. Like because the first trial she
• 16:54
  had like a full monster fighter or something and then she was
• 16:59
  just dragging her foot out the thing and she was like, oh good,
• 17:02
  gets attacked by another vampire, still makes it up a
• 17:04
  massive tower. Wasn't there a bit of healing
• 17:07
  because she crawled to Reigns? He had where he stayed at some
• 17:11
  point. Yeah, there was some potion
• 17:12
  somewhere. That he found her in the
• 17:14
  greenhouse because he was like, you're 1 human.
• 17:16
  And a place full of vampires. Right.
• 17:18
  I can smell you from here. And he's like, if you want to
• 17:21
  join alliances, you'll take this potion, but you can only get it
• 17:25
  if you join. So then she gets attacked, and
• 17:27
  then she drags. Her eyes off the tower, passing
• 17:29
  out on the way. Yeah, Where does she get the
• 17:32
  will to live at this point? Because.
• 17:34
  I was being born. Out.
• 17:36
  Not us. Looking at how weak we are.
• 17:38
  The same this 4th wing now I was like, I just want to be a maid.
• 17:42
  Fourthly, I just want to be doing people's laundry.
• 17:45
  Same. But in this situation, you
• 17:48
  stink. You're the only human being.
• 17:51
  Everyone low key, just wants you for a delectable snack.
• 17:53
  I don't even know why they're waiting to not kill it.
• 17:56
  Like, why? What are they waiting?
• 17:57
  For and then not only that, there's a whole heap of blood
• 17:59
  borne in there that just go back to it.
• 18:01
  Crazy. I don't know how their entire
• 18:03
  species is not like. Literally though, so she crawls
• 18:07
  up to the tower or whatever, and I guess he saves her and she has
• 18:10
  that potion and then now she's in their alliance with him and
• 18:14
  Misha. The first thing they showed her
• 18:16
  when she was all healed was the head of the guy that attacked
• 18:20
  her. And I'm like, that's such a
• 18:22
  barbarian present. They're like here, it's just
• 18:24
  here's his head. It's like a cat just dropping a
• 18:26
  dead mouse like. Where he's like, I'm so in love
• 18:30
  with you. Here's his head.
• 18:31
  But that's kind of friend vibe. Is it?
• 18:35
  I don't see. No head, just tell me, just
• 18:37
  throw it outside. Just tell you I did it.
• 18:40
  Yeah. OK, cool, Noted.
• 18:43
  You don't need to go full. Yeah, I don't need to, like,
• 18:46
  show you how the sausage is made.
• 18:48
  Nah. So.
• 18:52
  Note to. Self don't eat any sausages.
• 18:57
  Oh no. I don't know to me like just.
• 19:00
  As it went on, I just imagined her like this is a potato sack
• 19:04
  of human flesh, just rolling. Like what has she got left?
• 19:08
  Like she's just. She's just the one big.
• 19:11
  Scab. What is she eating because?
• 19:13
  All they had there is blood well.
• 19:15
  They stole a heap of blood, but they also stole a heap of food.
• 19:18
  And we're like rashing it for you, for her.
• 19:21
  And of course, you know, Ryan can cook amazing food, so she's
• 19:25
  just getting gourmet. Food all the time.
• 19:27
  I just can't imagine him just cooking in the IKEA kitchen.
• 19:30
  Just like and she's like. Boyfriend material.
• 19:35
  Stop it. Stop trying to put normal life
• 19:39
  things. For people to.
• 19:41
  Flick their bean over in a fantasy.
• 19:43
  Fuck off. He's not Dad Vibes.
• 19:45
  He's. Not.
• 19:46
  Husband vibes shut up in a fantasy book.
• 19:49
  Don't try and. Pull the wall over my eyes with
• 19:53
  this shit. It's.
• 19:57
  Disgusting. Everyone's like, but these are
• 20:00
  the qualities we want in men. Shut up.
• 20:04
  Do better. Be better?
• 20:06
  I just don't want. To think about him.
• 20:07
  Whisking some omelet. You know what?
• 20:09
  It's funnier. Though the fact that they put in
• 20:12
  there that each bedroom had their own washroom because
• 20:17
  nothing is more scarier than sharing a house and having to
• 20:20
  take turns to do. They even.
• 20:23
  Ship. Like, let's be real.
• 20:25
  They're vampires. Don't they just absorb the
• 20:26
  blood? No, because they're.
• 20:28
  Eating the weird blood. Pastry.
• 20:30
  Things That is also really weird.
• 20:33
  Surely not. And their?
• 20:35
  Wings they can sort of put away whenever they want.
• 20:38
  Like what on the? Topic of wings okay I do not
• 20:42
  understand in every fantasy. Have you read other fantasy
• 20:45
  books where they have wings? Not recently.
• 20:47
  If ever Okay. In.
• 20:50
  Most of the. Fantasy books I've read and they
• 20:52
  have wings. There's some weird sensitive sex
• 20:56
  thing that goes on with their wings where they, like, touch a
• 20:59
  sensitive spot and they're immediately hard or coming and I
• 21:02
  do not understand the wings. Yes.
• 21:05
  It's the same as in this book. She like touches a weird part on
• 21:09
  his wing. Erogenous zone I just but.
• 21:13
  I just. Don't.
• 21:13
  Understand if you're fighting in a war, yes, say.
• 21:19
  And someone touches your wings, are you just going to?
• 21:21
  Come on site flying in the air, that would be very distracting.
• 21:24
  So that's. Kind of like.
• 21:25
  Warfare like you would run around massaging these guys
• 21:28
  wings and then they'd be like. And then?
• 21:31
  That's when you'd kill them, because it's so easy to kill
• 21:33
  them anyway. It's like butter.
• 21:34
  You just stab them in the heart. It's fine.
• 21:36
  A. Little human.
• 21:37
  Girl can do it, so she's. Sort of, I mean.
• 21:42
  I feel like if you're a vampire and you have wings, it's just
• 21:44
  another erogenous zone for straight men to ignore.
• 21:49
  Just another. One No big deal.
• 21:51
  They'll be like, I don't know where the wings are.
• 21:59
  I. Just don't understand why.
• 22:00
  Though you're like, you know what I guess?
• 22:03
  Get them off on. Their wings to like.
• 22:05
  Fetishize it to make it more spicy.
• 22:08
  I don't know the fantasy girls who get it.
• 22:10
  Get it? I don't get it.
• 22:15
  I didn't even. Know who's who in the zoo?
• 22:17
  Honestly. Honestly.
• 22:19
  I didn't. I didn't know who's.
• 22:21
  Tribe was who's tribe? I didn't know the back story
• 22:24
  because I kept skipping all the interludes.
• 22:25
  I didn't know who who's who. I didn't.
• 22:27
  Know. Who were voting off the.
• 22:29
  Island at any point, either. I didn't know who the.
• 22:32
  Host was. I didn't know it was some.
• 22:34
  Weird, creepy pasta. I don't know.
• 22:38
  The ministerial He wasn't really the host though.
• 22:42
  He's just. This old man.
• 22:44
  There was like, a lot. Going on.
• 22:45
  But then I understood nothing at the same time.
• 22:47
  Does that make sense? Yes.
• 22:49
  So somebody help me. All I got was.
• 22:52
  There was some bitch that was Wadbourne who was crazy.
• 22:57
  And. That's about all I remember was
• 22:59
  that Angelica. No.
• 23:02
  Yeah, I. Think it was.
• 23:03
  We Stan. Angelica.
• 23:05
  She crazy. She's dummy mummy.
• 23:07
  Queen, Pop off, Musculus. You know the Warrior Princess
• 23:11
  Queen crushed me with your thighs, Queen.
• 23:14
  It's a shame she. Just has a terrible boss.
• 23:17
  Well, yeah, she just. Has a terrible story, but I
• 23:19
  mean, at least I could imagine her as a character.
• 23:21
  The rest I was like, who are you people?
• 23:24
  Slash. Vampires and then there.
• 23:25
  Was that other one the weird one that had no teeth and broken
• 23:28
  wings? And his name is We're Right.
• 23:32
  Over my head, Jasper. The friendly guys.
• 23:42
  Oh no, I feel like that would be like a Derek or a Greg.
• 23:46
  Oop. Now Greg is.
• 23:48
  Giving portly. OK, OK.
• 23:50
  I feel like a. Cracked out Vampire would be
• 23:52
  kind of like Derek, like it's giving Dirac.
• 23:57
  Maybe even a. Dennis Dennis Energy No Teeth,
• 24:00
  No. I feel like Dennis is too nice.
• 24:03
  Okay Okay. Like a Scott.
• 24:05
  Yeah, Okay. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 24:06
  Yeah. Yeah, does that.
• 24:10
  Okay. Well, so Scott was there.
• 24:11
  Teeth and the tatted wing he was.
• 24:14
  There should be writing the book.
• 24:17
  The thrown out window. I'm sick of the I have powers,
• 24:20
  but I don't know how to use them.
• 24:21
  Trope. Voila.
• 24:25
  Oh, it. Drives me bananas, you.
• 24:29
  Know what, though? She didn't lose her magic, and
• 24:32
  that's all that magic. Magic but.
• 24:35
  Isn't it annoying? When it's always like, oh, she's
• 24:37
  got little static fingers she doesn't know.
• 24:40
  What? She can do she's.
• 24:42
  Spicy. Until she gets.
• 24:44
  Pissed. Oh yeah.
• 24:46
  And then? Feminine rage.
• 24:49
  Activate. That's it.
• 24:51
  The only way it should come out. And then of course.
• 24:55
  She's the most powerful person in the world.
• 24:57
  Yes. Duh.
• 25:00
  I want a. Book about a mediocre female.
• 25:04
  Jews stumbling through. With no powers.
• 25:08
  That was her true until the. End that was like.
• 25:12
  Violet Two and 4th Wing. Literally the same.
• 25:15
  Mediocre. Bitches.
• 25:16
  Mediocre. Bitches.
• 25:17
  No access to powers. Dickmatized very easily.
• 25:21
  By the exact. Same type of man.
• 25:23
  It's all. Copy and paste men, but they
• 25:25
  always. Have to be the dark and
• 25:26
  brooding, but obviously madly in love with her from the
• 25:30
  beginning. Yeah, they're.
• 25:31
  Training day in and day out. This is when she throws him out
• 25:35
  the window. They're.
• 25:37
  They're in. Her alliance.
• 25:39
  One thing I do not understand about this alliance, so they're
• 25:42
  joining together for the possible thing that they would
• 25:45
  have to be joined together. But who's Misha?
• 25:49
  Who's her partner? Who's here for?
• 25:51
  Me. Well, I thought it's.
• 25:53
  Sort of like for teams. Why?
• 25:55
  OK, so. Three.
• 25:56
  Kind of. Because in the end there was
• 25:58
  someone's going to. Die.
• 25:59
  Yeah, I mean, if someone in your alliance is probably going to
• 26:02
  die, but it's sort of someone that's going to help you get
• 26:04
  further. That's so stupid, but
• 26:06
  eventually. Well, it just worked out.
• 26:08
  For them that they were the. Last two left out of the three,
• 26:11
  yeah. And it's so convenient.
• 26:12
  That she was able to save help. I'm so pissed about that.
• 26:18
  It. Made.
• 26:19
  Me crazy. Because why does she?
• 26:21
  Just get to fuck up. All.
• 26:23
  The rules like it doesn't matter.
• 26:24
  She's not even a vampire. She's in this in the first case.
• 26:27
  For one, why? OK, Misha should have died.
• 26:30
  She should have died. Just she should have been dead.
• 26:33
  It's such a cop out to save a character to one.
• 26:36
  Have her on a deathbed and she's in a death trial.
• 26:39
  She was meant to die. Yeah, that's the whole point.
• 26:42
  Yeah, no one else gets to opt out and leave halfway through.
• 26:45
  Nah. And then?
• 26:46
  She just gets to go. I feel like when you enter the
• 26:50
  kajari, you're offering up your death to this woman.
• 26:54
  That's the point. Why?
• 26:55
  Would she? Let.
• 26:57
  Her go if she is over her death, yeah, essentially.
• 27:01
  And she just gets to. Because.
• 27:03
  Apparently we needed. Her very loose character for the
• 27:07
  next part of the book, which I don't know why.
• 27:10
  Why does there always have to be a pointless female character
• 27:12
  that's just nice and not only? That I found out This book is a
• 27:16
  series of six I know. And.
• 27:18
  She is the next female character I'm so mad about.
• 27:22
  It though, because what else is there to do in this stupid world
• 27:26
  for four more books? Four more books, I would say.
• 27:29
  Niaci is coming back to kill them all but like.
• 27:33
  As long as. It's not Araya, I guess a.
• 27:35
  Who? Oh, Araya.
• 27:36
  Sorry. As long as it's not Araya For
• 27:38
  the next four books, it. Was Araya.
• 27:41
  Oh, yeah, yeah. I was like, my brain was just
• 27:45
  like because you. Can't.
• 27:46
  There's nothing left. They've milked her dry.
• 27:48
  She's a dry titty by the end of the second book and you can't
• 27:51
  tell me? I reckon it's.
• 27:52
  Going to do the same thing where they just have Mish and like
• 27:56
  she. Started.
• 27:56
  Off Araya started off like a double D juicy titty and by the
• 28:00
  end of the second book she was just a dried out tit, yes.
• 28:03
  Nothing. She was a little Sultana.
• 28:05
  Yeah, a little. Sultana did.
• 28:06
  There's nothing left. The juice has been juiced, yes.
• 28:10
  Something. Happened between the mid she
• 28:12
  made the middle spicy to. Just boring very quickly.
• 28:15
  Oh. 100%. 100%. But she threw him out the
• 28:19
  window. Yeah, we're.
• 28:20
  Going back, we're going back. Yes.
• 28:22
  Yes, yes is a red flag. For this man.
• 28:24
  Not that he just likes to go get drunk all the time.
• 28:27
  Like really badly drunk, but also.
• 28:29
  On shitty human beer, Yeah, and he gets to just morph into what
• 28:33
  looks like a human, which I didn't quite understand.
• 28:36
  No and. Then she's surprised.
• 28:38
  When she finds out that he used to be an actual human, like, duh
• 28:41
  duh, hello. That's why he.
• 28:43
  Learned how to cook. I don't get what the the point
• 28:51
  of. That was too, because, like, if
• 28:52
  they if you want to sneak out and give us the real human
• 28:55
  world, give us a bit. More it was just.
• 28:58
  Her running around. The outside of people's houses,
• 29:00
  killing vampires give us the human world.
• 29:03
  If you want us to know what it is, don't just give us the
• 29:06
  inside of a Tavern so that they can flirt, I feel.
• 29:08
  Like spoiler for next book. Just a quick one.
• 29:11
  They gave us a small snippet. Is that going to?
• 29:15
  Be a purpose for the series? Or is that just a cop out?
• 29:18
  Again, just kill them. If you want to write a book, a
• 29:22
  good book. Just kill them, right?
• 29:23
  Kill the people who need to be killed.
• 29:25
  Yeah, like it doesn't. Matter, I just feel like.
• 29:27
  She kind of has this loophole. Array of where she gets.
• 29:31
  Away with so much everything. More.
• 29:33
  Than any. Other character would.
• 29:37
  I don't know so. Where's?
• 29:39
  The I guess. Where's the actual real
• 29:41
  tragedies when she keeps getting root pulse?
• 29:45
  No, there is. None.
• 29:45
  That's the problem. If you want me to remember, kill
• 29:49
  the people that matter. It's a thing.
• 29:51
  She doesn't understand how Rain and Aisha.
• 29:56
  She doesn't understand how they can be friends and not be having
• 29:58
  sex. I'm like, do you what?
• 30:01
  World, do you? Live in Are you fucking your dad
• 30:03
  because he's your only friend? Literally.
• 30:05
  Though literally. She Because she was just.
• 30:07
  Suspicious and insecure. And I'm like, for what?
• 30:10
  They're vampires. They've been alive.
• 30:11
  How Like. That man's been alive hundreds
• 30:13
  of. Years more than you, yeah.
• 30:15
  They've had some point. Like, yeah, literally.
• 30:17
  Like, how can you be mad about that This is before you're an
• 30:21
  apple in someones eye in the Galaxy Like.
• 30:25
  You're like a piece of. Stardust when they started
• 30:27
  fucking and you can't tell me they didn't fuck.
• 30:30
  I think they. Fucked good.
• 30:31
  I. Reckon they did too.
• 30:33
  There is no and, they just. Canon.
• 30:35
  It's Canon. They definitely fucked.
• 30:37
  And then they just mutually stopped fucking, I feel like and
• 30:40
  just feel like in that weird, happy orbit, they could have had
• 30:43
  two. 100 years between that though, so they've forgotten and
• 30:46
  they don't care anymore. And it's Gucci now, Yeah, but at
• 30:49
  least throw us a bone in that way and make it that they did.
• 30:51
  Fuck give. Us a little.
• 30:53
  More give us anything. All we got was.
• 30:56
  Him thinking about his ex that we never got a proper
• 30:58
  description of. OK.
• 31:00
  Rain is not a girl's girl and it pisses me off.
• 31:04
  How dare this man have multiple love interests in his entire
• 31:09
  life span? It's illegal.
• 31:11
  It's illegal. In this point, he had two he had
• 31:14
  a wife and kid and then he had someone else's wife and now he's
• 31:19
  obsessed with Araya like too many.
• 31:21
  There's too many love interests. Body can't fucking this feeling
• 31:27
  smell. This fucking.
• 31:28
  Man, smell and of course. This girl, while he's got
• 31:32
  multiple love interests, he's like 200. 300 years old.
• 31:35
  She's 23 and. She's 23 with one.
• 31:39
  One she didn't actually, she had a little 5 minute.
• 31:44
  And then? Withdrawed I'm like, there's
• 31:46
  that inexperienced joke. You're telling me she's never
• 31:49
  had sex again, but was bomb at it?
• 31:54
  I. Know.
• 31:55
  It's just ridiculous. But also can we just say like
• 31:58
  going back to rain having no dignity and moles like how can?
• 32:02
  Dignity. Close.
• 32:04
  Your wakes class. Let him out.
• 32:13
  No one wants the pencil that's been sharpened multiple.
• 32:19
  Times. He had a.
• 32:21
  Child just out here, out now. He's out here with the.
• 32:24
  Child. Were they married?
• 32:25
  When he had the child, yeah, he had a wife.
• 32:27
  And child and. Then and then.
• 32:33
  He went and fucked. Missyana.
• 32:36
  Or whatever. And Missy Missyana.
• 32:40
  Nessa Barrett. Jesus and.
• 32:46
  Nessie. Clutching my pearls.
• 32:48
  Clutching my imaginary pearls, he fucked Nessie while.
• 32:52
  Pregnant, I'm not. He likes.
• 32:56
  Pulling the tea and it's not even right.
• 32:58
  He's. Spiraling.
• 32:59
  I'm actually spiraling, He. Thought messy.
• 33:04
  Well, married, so not only. Disgusting.
• 33:07
  Did he have multiple? Love affairs.
• 33:10
  He was a cheetah. Through and through we know this
• 33:16
  is like decades and. Decades and centuries ago,
• 33:18
  trash. Foul.
• 33:20
  Are you kidding? Decades till death, Carla.
• 33:23
  Still sorry. Honestly, what?
• 33:27
  Why is he even using his penis? Have some dignity.
• 33:30
  Cut it off your first. Wife and then he's.
• 33:39
  Just. Fucking out here.
• 33:40
  Like, oh Maria fucking. She's essentially a child at
• 33:43
  this point compared to his big age.
• 33:45
  He's honestly making Leonardo DiCaprio look like a St. foul
• 33:50
  behavior. Fucking.
• 33:52
  Straight to jail. Don't pass.
• 33:55
  Go and collect $200. Just.
• 33:58
  Throw the whole man out. Atrocious.
• 34:02
  Actually atrocious. I do not know who decided he was
• 34:06
  book boyfriend material. He's a whore.
• 34:10
  He's a. Cheating.
• 34:11
  Lion Whoa. God.
• 34:16
  Yuck. I can't believe they even told
• 34:18
  us that. Give it to yourself.
• 34:21
  Yeah, and I talk. About.
• 34:22
  How the arena and the audience was never quite explained
• 34:27
  properly, because who's in the audience?
• 34:29
  Who's watching this? Is everyone vampires?
• 34:32
  Is it humans? Is it?
• 34:33
  That's why I. Didn't.
• 34:34
  Understand the days and the nights because if they're
• 34:36
  fighting during the day, how are they getting to the arena?
• 34:40
  I don't. Know and also.
• 34:42
  If there's this many vampires in the Kajari, and she's also
• 34:46
  killing a lot outside, wouldn't she be like, hey, where's so and
• 34:50
  so every time they're watching in the audience?
• 34:52
  Like, hey, where's Bob the vampire down the street?
• 34:55
  He was killed yesterday, so we're so and so like, hello.
• 34:59
  Put it together, you idiots. So it's like.
• 35:02
  Half of the audience coming in every night because she keeps
• 35:04
  going out and killing everything.
• 35:05
  She's like I seen. You up there, Who is sponsoring?
• 35:08
  This event also. But how do they know?
• 35:11
  Are they just putting up posters outside?
• 35:14
  Is there just a little? Tonight.
• 35:16
  At 7:00. Morgan.
• 35:19
  Jerry, come on, dance. To watch this.
• 35:22
  Vampires are violent anyway. They're bored.
• 35:24
  Though that's the problem. They're so on.
• 35:26
  They're bored, boring, bored and.
• 35:30
  Boring look, just so I'm not a total bitch, I did like the
• 35:34
  action scenes I liked. The creepy.
• 35:37
  Dog, monster things. I was down for that.
• 35:40
  Oh yeah. They were the trials.
• 35:42
  Yeah, like I was down for those action scenes because I was
• 35:45
  like, oh, OK, whatever. I actually loved it.
• 35:48
  Not going to lie, The second, second or third trial fucks me.
• 35:51
  Where we're at is a maze trial, and she decides that as a human
• 35:56
  girlie, she's already a little bit lagging.
• 35:59
  Her ankle's probably twisted. She's probably crawling at this
• 36:02
  point, but what better thing to do than carry a child through
• 36:05
  the whole death maze? And it's because.
• 36:07
  The child reminded her of her and you can't tell me otherwise.
• 36:10
  She was like, oh, Vincent, help me when I needed help, wouldn't
• 36:14
  you at that. Point question.
• 36:16
  Your father, you are human and he's just offering them up on
• 36:19
  little platters to people. And she's just like, I don't
• 36:22
  understand. It is what it is.
• 36:24
  She always. Puts her head in the sand.
• 36:25
  When it comes to Vincent, though, he can.
• 36:27
  She just. Doesn't but.
• 36:29
  It's weird. And then she keeps acting
• 36:31
  surprised more and more. She learns about him, and it
• 36:34
  happens a bit more in the second book, but every time she hears
• 36:37
  something that's a bit suss about Vincent, she's like.
• 36:41
  What do you expect? Bitch.
• 36:42
  He was not a nice. Man.
• 36:44
  And he had to be a. Vampire King.
• 36:47
  Yeah, you. Just had to be.
• 36:48
  Kind of a badass to do that in the 1st place.
• 36:50
  I'm like why are? You so shocked He's been doing
• 36:52
  it for like 200 years. He killed his whole family to do
• 36:56
  it. Can I just say?
• 36:57
  That Rayne and Vincent are giving Hook and Peter Michaels
• 37:00
  wives from book. I was just.
• 37:03
  Fuck. Already.
• 37:04
  Just. Because.
• 37:06
  Honestly, Rayne wanted to fuck Vincent.
• 37:08
  Just fuck him. No one's going to stop you.
• 37:11
  You're vampires. Nobody fucking cares.
• 37:13
  Or he wanted to be him. He wanted Vincent's whore, and
• 37:17
  he just wanted to be Vincent. It was so obviously going to
• 37:20
  happen that way. Yes, Ever since I knew, like,
• 37:23
  ever since he was giving me those vibes, I was like, oh,
• 37:25
  this. Isn't even about.
• 37:26
  A raya No. It never was and never will be.
• 37:30
  It was about owning her. It was never about liking her
• 37:32
  personality. No.
• 37:34
  Anyway, she didn't even have any personality.
• 37:37
  She was just mad all the time. And he was like, you know what
• 37:39
  gets me going there? She.
• 37:41
  Is. If I had to.
• 37:43
  Hear. There she is.
• 37:44
  And it got dramatically worse than the second book.
• 37:47
  And every. Time.
• 37:48
  She was pissed. He would be serious at 1st and
• 37:51
  then he'd smirk and go. There she is.
• 37:54
  And I'm like. So that.
• 37:55
  Ends the combo. Your little manipulator, your
• 37:58
  little gas lighter. And then she'd be like, oh.
• 38:01
  And then I realized she was hot. Every time she Almost.
• 38:08
  Dies and she goes and finds some vampires to kill and then he
• 38:12
  helps her kill some vampires and then they were like, oh, this
• 38:16
  little girl conveniently is in a home that I found for her
• 38:19
  because I have all this time. I'm not in a whole death event.
• 38:23
  She's practically. A social worker at this point.
• 38:26
  Oh, well, he. Is dude they're like anyway
• 38:29
  side? Quest, Little CPS.
• 38:31
  Moment. Yeah, just.
• 38:32
  And then, you know, then they're friends.
• 38:36
  And that's where she finds out he's human.
• 38:38
  Like it wasn't fucking obvious, but.
• 38:41
  Also, look the book is really trying to push enemies to
• 38:46
  lovers. But they weren't.
• 38:48
  They were just little brats. They were allies.
• 38:51
  To like just. Fucking.
• 38:53
  To then betray there's. Even a bit.
• 38:56
  Where he goes. I wanted to ally with you
• 38:58
  because of that look on your face.
• 39:00
  Day one also if I. Was brain.
• 39:03
  I wouldn't even fucking look at her.
• 39:04
  I'd be like Angelica. You're my bitch.
• 39:07
  We're gonna muscle. Mummy, we're.
• 39:09
  We're literally. Gonna muscle mummy Dom this
• 39:11
  whole competition. Who's that?
• 39:13
  Why did they let a human in here?
• 39:16
  Disgusting little parasite. But I I reckon I'd be a really
• 39:18
  sassy brain. We like this little scraggly
• 39:23
  rat. Oh it's like oh it's a
• 39:24
  contestant. I thought that was our pre
• 39:26
  protein snack. Oh shit, I was just.
• 39:30
  About to eat her like before it even started, I think.
• 39:34
  It's the second last trial and they've taken all the food away.
• 39:38
  There's nothing left. Then they're thrown into this
• 39:40
  random place where there's poisoned food.
• 39:43
  So if this was The Hunger Games, all I could imagine is Vincent
• 39:48
  watching the TV as his daughter is getting her neck sucked on
• 39:53
  and she's just grinding away train in some random he would
• 39:58
  be. Sorry into it.
• 39:59
  Oh, it. Just.
• 40:00
  Fell. She just they were like.
• 40:02
  You know what? This is the moment we're just
• 40:04
  going to dry hump each other. And you know, Vincent's just
• 40:08
  stuck in the stands. It was a little bit.
• 40:10
  Like we're both going to die anyway.
• 40:12
  And I get that we're here. For it.
• 40:14
  We're here for it because. They're going to die anyway.
• 40:16
  You may as well fuck. Actually, every single time they
• 40:19
  have like an intimate moment, one of them's dying, yeah.
• 40:23
  And your orgasms in .5 of second flat both times for like however
• 40:27
  many times am I. Surprised the ending was such a
• 40:30
  cop out too. The ending of this book was
• 40:33
  fucking terrible at this point. I didn't care who won.
• 40:36
  No, I didn't. Honestly, they both could have
• 40:39
  died and that could have been the end of the book and I would
• 40:40
  have been fine. Literally.
• 40:42
  Though I'd be like, that's cool. What was with Vincent always
• 40:45
  being in her head? Like, was he literally able to
• 40:47
  just pop into her head? Or was it her imagining him,
• 40:49
  thinking she's just so? Obsessed.
• 40:51
  I know he was. Always on her.
• 40:52
  Mind It was gross, yeah. Whenever she was doing anything,
• 40:56
  even having sex, he was in the back of her mind, I know and I.
• 41:00
  Just don't get I'm. Wondering with something?
• 41:02
  That happens in book two. If he did that to her own thing,
• 41:05
  like if he did that, yeah, I wouldn't be surprised.
• 41:09
  I wouldn't be surprised. But the whole ending of book one
• 41:13
  is. Angelica.
• 41:15
  Dying because her Septimus told her to just die.
• 41:20
  I'm like, are you kidding? I would have killed them both.
• 41:22
  I know. I'm like the wind would have
• 41:25
  been better if she just killed them both.
• 41:27
  Yeah, fuck it. Why would you go that?
• 41:29
  Far and. Then.
• 41:30
  Anyway. Any who?
• 41:31
  Any who's all? Then.
• 41:33
  Araya kills Rayne, but he forces her to kill him.
• 41:38
  So then she's having nightmares about this shit.
• 41:41
  But then the cop out is she just gets him back.
• 41:46
  She just gets him back. You know what could have
• 41:48
  happened? Could have killed him.
• 41:49
  Could have had a second month of interest very quickly.
• 41:51
  Could have added another one in there.
• 41:54
  But he just comes back and then he just kills her dad.
• 41:57
  The. Wish.
• 41:58
  Was supposed to be bonding to the dad.
• 42:01
  That was the whole fucking point.
• 42:03
  And Vincent's up there at the finish line.
• 42:05
  They're playing or whatever they're like.
• 42:08
  He's just patiently. Waiting like it's the end of
• 42:10
  Next Top Model, just like and. Then she's like.
• 42:14
  I wish for my grungy boyfriend to be alive.
• 42:17
  Bitch. But not.
• 42:18
  Only that she. Wishes that he won it.
• 42:21
  Yeah. Can't you just wish that he's
• 42:22
  alive, you dumb bitch? Yeah.
• 42:24
  Why do you wish that? He won it.
• 42:25
  He doesn't deserve it, He. Yeah.
• 42:28
  The second. He like Reanimates and he's
• 42:30
  like. And then he's like.
• 42:33
  Oh well, I'm going to do what I'm going to do, I intended.
• 42:36
  To do literally. Kills her dad immediately.
• 42:39
  Yeah, he's. Like there was never a Plan B.
• 42:42
  But if you killed me, it was fine, and you would never know
• 42:46
  that I was going to betray you this entire time.
• 42:48
  And he was. Cool with dying.
• 42:50
  Yeah, he. Was just like shmee shmee he
• 42:53
  would have. Been cool.
• 42:54
  With it. I don't even.
• 42:56
  Have the words to describe him. He's just so.
• 42:59
  Stupid. Stupid he was.
• 43:00
  Just like, you know what? All this work for nothing.
• 43:03
  Just let her kill me. Let me pretend I didn't
• 43:07
  traumatize her. I just don't.
• 43:09
  Know if he's. Even that calculated, I think he
• 43:11
  just got the opportunity because she's dumb.
• 43:13
  And then he's like, well, I'm going to make the most of it
• 43:15
  now, you dumb bitch. I've been live for centuries.
• 43:17
  I know how this goes. I've had two other loves.
• 43:19
  OK, yeah. I'm bored out.
• 43:21
  I'm. Tired and.
• 43:23
  Clapped out. I'm ready to settle, but then
• 43:30
  the. Audacity.
• 43:31
  Of thinking he. Could just carry things on.
• 43:34
  Oh, I've got a quote for you. So right.
• 43:36
  After he. Fucking kills old dog V dog,
• 43:40
  right? I think I know the. 1.
• 43:42
  OK, here we. Go.
• 43:43
  This is what he says to the. Masses who are just.
• 43:46
  Waiting there like, does that mean?
• 43:47
  We get. To eat the human.
• 43:48
  Girl. Now he grabs her up and he goes.
• 43:51
  I took Vincent's Kingdom, I took his life, I took his title, and
• 43:54
  now I will take his daughter. I'll make her my wife, keep her
• 43:58
  close where I can, keep an eye on her, and I'll make sure it
• 44:02
  hurts when I fuck her, just like it did when he raped our queen
• 44:05
  200 years ago. Bitch he.
• 44:09
  Assumed. Though he didn't know, but also.
• 44:12
  Put that in a tweet or something like.
• 44:13
  Why are you like telling? The world this, Well, they
• 44:18
  can't. Kill her because then another
• 44:19
  heir is reborn. So just say I'm going to keep
• 44:22
  her hostage so another heir is not reborn.
• 44:25
  Yeah, I I could never love a man that told everyone he was going
• 44:29
  to rape me. But The thing is, they had
• 44:33
  already. Hooked up before this, so like
• 44:35
  in a consensual way. So the fact that he's like
• 44:39
  saying all this, I'd be like he was like I.
• 44:41
  Did it to keep you safe. There's so many other ways he's
• 44:45
  forcing. Her to marry him immediately.
• 44:47
  Not only that. How come with people who read
• 44:51
  this book, you wouldn't know because you have not read the
• 44:54
  book I'm going to mention, But OK we will.
• 44:56
  OK, How come it is OK for rain to?
• 45:01
  Kill her dad. Kidnap her, keep her hostage.
• 45:05
  Kind of force her into places, Yeah, push her off buildings,
• 45:08
  all this other shit. It's fine, but it's fine.
• 45:11
  But like little Tam Tam from Akhtar did very similar things
• 45:16
  and it is not okay. You can't have it both ways.
• 45:19
  Yeah, you think? His forgiveness arc is just
• 45:21
  instant, whereas Tam Tam tampon as they.
• 45:25
  Call him that's as. Far as I know, so far as you
• 45:27
  know. He never gets forgiven.
• 45:29
  Well, he doesn't have a. Redeeming the author writes this
• 45:32
  in a way where. Rayne is.
• 45:34
  Automatically redeemed because he's got ABS.
• 45:37
  Yes. That's all and what it is and
• 45:39
  he's doing it to keep us safe. I just.
• 45:41
  Love. How marriage?
• 45:42
  Happened when it didn't need to. That's funny though.
• 45:45
  It's funny. But it's dumb.
• 45:47
  Like, are we supposed to swoon? She don't want to be there.
• 45:50
  No one wanted to be there. It was awkward to read even.
• 45:53
  I was like you were just. Trying to keep her around after
• 45:56
  you pissed her off. I don't.
• 45:57
  Even know what she's thinking at the end?
• 45:59
  Because she hates rain, right? She goes.
• 46:02
  You betrayed me, bitch. You didn't have to wish him to
• 46:04
  win. You just wished him to live.
• 46:07
  Yeah. And then she would have been.
• 46:09
  In control? Yeah, it's.
• 46:11
  Just stupid. Stupid.
• 46:14
  I don't know. I found the end to.
• 46:15
  Be really depressing because it was the wedding bit and I was
• 46:17
  just like, oh, that's a really bad place to end.
• 46:21
  I was like, cool, Can't wait, can't.
• 46:23
  Wait, pick up the next. Book.
• 46:25
  All right, so. Let's get into book two.
• 46:28
  So now we're on to the Ashes and the Star, Cursed King.
• 46:34
  Just spoiler alert, so we'll be talking about the 2nd.
• 46:37
  Book now, so if you haven't read it, fuck off.
• 46:39
  No. Respectfully.
• 46:41
  Fuck. Off.
• 46:42
  Respectfully. And then come back and give us
• 46:43
  an extra view. Thank you.
• 46:44
  Bye SO. Can we just?
• 46:47
  Talk about how the ending of the first book cements rain his
• 46:52
  transformation into Vincent. Yeah, your boyfriend becomes
• 46:56
  your dad. Your.
• 46:58
  Dad was already your boyfriend. Yes, literally.
• 47:00
  Rain's so understanding about her never having freedom that
• 47:03
  instead of giving her freedom, he just kidnaps her and locks
• 47:07
  her up in her room again. Araya.
• 47:08
  Is captured and held hostage in her own childhood bedroom.
• 47:12
  Yeah, Vincent Rain who? It's like Vincent.
• 47:16
  Died so rain could live. I was hoping that she was going
• 47:19
  to Stew and Stew and just keep that anger about rain and
• 47:25
  actually actually have a really good plan to kill him and
• 47:28
  actually just fucking kill him by the end of the.
• 47:30
  Book, but you know. What?
• 47:30
  None of that. None of that.
• 47:32
  Happened because that would be nice.
• 47:34
  That would actually. Be half of a plot?
• 47:37
  Yeah. But instead we got 2 minutes of
• 47:40
  her committing treason. And it wasn't.
• 47:42
  Even actively. She just became passive when
• 47:46
  someone else had a plan. It wasn't even her idea.
• 47:49
  No, it was. What's her name?
• 47:51
  Jasmine. Jasmine.
• 47:53
  Jasmine, the girl that was actually sleeping with Vincent,
• 47:57
  she sneaks out of this room. This room has four locks, and
• 48:00
  apparently she's worked it out. And then she goes into these
• 48:05
  tunnels. One, why wouldn't you leave?
• 48:08
  Why are you just mopping about in your daddy's offices?
• 48:11
  Yeah. What was she?
• 48:12
  Trying to find that she. Couldn't have found a million
• 48:14
  years ago. Why does it matter at this
• 48:16
  point? She's obsessed with Vincent.
• 48:19
  The fact that he. Died it.
• 48:20
  Like, invigorated her even more. But then.
• 48:23
  She finds this mirror thing, she talks to Jasmine, she commits
• 48:27
  treason, and then they catch her out committing treason.
• 48:30
  Like it lasts 2 seconds. She was spilling.
• 48:33
  The tea via a magical object? Yeah, and not even.
• 48:36
  Good tea. Like Jasmine knew more than her,
• 48:38
  I know. So it was not.
• 48:39
  Anything she needed to know? No, it was dumb.
• 48:42
  It was just like it was dumb. It was pointless.
• 48:45
  It started a mini attack on where all they keep their
• 48:48
  weapons. Oh the.
• 48:49
  Armory. The Armory.
• 48:51
  Also, why is the Armory nowhere near the castle?
• 48:56
  Right, let's store our. Weapons far, far away.
• 48:59
  Let's store our. Weapons on the outskirts of town
• 49:02
  so that if there's ever an emergency.
• 49:04
  We'll all just be wearing our bed shirts and.
• 49:06
  Slippers and we'll just do it with like. 3.
• 49:10
  Fly. Trek.
• 49:11
  We'll. Go, we'll go trekking down.
• 49:13
  To the Armory. Yeah.
• 49:14
  I don't know. I don't know.
• 49:16
  And. Even then, like, she had a
• 49:17
  little fight with rain and then that was oh.
• 49:21
  That was it, but. How do you have that much rage
• 49:23
  about killing your parent? And then you just, what, put a
• 49:26
  cap on it? Just like, oh, that's all right.
• 49:29
  Store away from like. That was she not shot or he was
• 49:33
  shot. Somebody was shot.
• 49:35
  Someone was shot. With the arrow, I thought it was
• 49:37
  him. I thought it was her.
• 49:39
  Oh. Someone was.
• 49:41
  Shot. It's been a.
• 49:42
  It's been a long week. Someone was shot.
• 49:45
  Jasmine was like. I'm going to kill him now while
• 49:48
  he's distracted. She didn't kill him.
• 49:50
  And then they were like, you know what she's done, Committed
• 49:53
  treason. It could only be her, not the
• 49:56
  other people actively committing treason.
• 49:58
  Obviously. At this point in the.
• 50:00
  Book. I kind of had high hopes.
• 50:02
  I was like, Yup, we went through that.
• 50:04
  All that stuff in the last book. This is going to get spicy
• 50:07
  because you know how we were told that she's got all this
• 50:10
  feminine rage. This is building up, building
• 50:12
  up, building up the whole she's she's mad.
• 50:14
  She's always mad, always mad. And then she gets the second
• 50:17
  book and I'm like, cool, OK, She's going to be fucking mad.
• 50:20
  She's going to be even more mad. Burn.
• 50:21
  Down the palace, if anything. She went the complete opposite
• 50:25
  and became docile. Yeah.
• 50:27
  How did you get less mad? How did?
• 50:30
  Why are you not more mad? You should be more mad.
• 50:32
  Girlie, you should be planning. Your dad just got me.
• 50:36
  Oriented in front of you, girl. Play.
• 50:40
  A boyfriend? Nah.
• 50:42
  He had sex. And not only that, he had sex
• 50:45
  with her all night for the first time.
• 50:48
  And night. Night.
• 50:52
  Betrayer, right? Like the betrayal, the.
• 50:56
  Betrayal. He was dicking her down, giving
• 51:00
  her that soft serve at some point.
• 51:02
  He can't be boning, boning her that whole time, but we think
• 51:05
  he's got that. It's getting.
• 51:06
  Higher Viagra. Or what do you it's giving the?
• 51:08
  Last chance before he breaks up with her sex.
• 51:11
  That's what I. Thought was going to happen.
• 51:14
  The. Breakup was then one of them
• 51:15
  dying, supposedly, but. I tell you if.
• 51:19
  The world was ending tomorrow. Would I be fucking all night?
• 51:23
  Maybe. Probably.
• 51:26
  Just that awkward pause. Well, what else?
• 51:28
  Can I do actually, Probably. Actually, if I'm dying.
• 51:32
  Tomorrow. And if I'm not fucking anyone,
• 51:35
  I'm watching Twilight. I don't.
• 51:37
  What? No.
• 51:38
  What you're going to do? With your last 24 hours watch.
• 51:40
  Pure trash. Absolutely, Twilight.
• 51:43
  Though it was the. First thing I thought of Don't
• 51:45
  let me do it. I probably wouldn't do anything
• 51:47
  but sit on Tiktok for the next couple of hours.
• 51:49
  If if. It wasn't sex.
• 51:51
  I'd probably be gorging on my favorite foods.
• 51:54
  Oh, absolutely. Who cares?
• 51:56
  If calories don't matter now, we're all dying tomorrow.
• 51:58
  That's the problem. Though if we're all dying
• 52:00
  tomorrow, there's probably no one working True.
• 52:03
  So you would have to make the food yourself.
• 52:04
  Everyone be fucking. Everyone's at home.
• 52:07
  Everyone's fucking everyone murdering purge.
• 52:11
  Situation not A. Situation for me people would
• 52:14
  be. Praying.
• 52:15
  I reckon a lot of people would flock to the churches praying.
• 52:18
  That this pussy be. Praying that this pussy be
• 52:22
  popping all night. I know where I'll be then.
• 52:27
  It's not a jig down. And then I eat at.
• 52:31
  Church. Could be no.
• 52:33
  Kidding won't catch me there. He won't catch.
• 52:36
  Me. Or you never.
• 52:38
  Know I could be repenting hardcore like shoot.
• 52:42
  Got a lot of? Repenting to do so I do.
• 52:44
  Not wish to go to hell today. Maybe.
• 52:47
  Tomorrow, so after. Committing treason, they
• 52:50
  immediately like let's sneak out, sneak, sneak out to the
• 52:55
  human distracts. And.
• 52:58
  Let's come up good old times like.
• 53:00
  The good old times. I'm just going to show you my
• 53:03
  little hiding hole. Where I come.
• 53:05
  To be by myself. And then we're just.
• 53:08
  Going to come up with a plan. But you know what never
• 53:11
  happened. They never come up with a plan.
• 53:13
  It was just an easy little. We're just going to find the
• 53:16
  stuff and then go against Septimus.
• 53:18
  There was no actual active plan of kill him, just kill him.
• 53:24
  Yeah, like. What there's cares?
• 53:26
  Like. Just take him.
• 53:27
  Out. It's not like.
• 53:28
  He's not hard to get to. Like what?
• 53:31
  You've got all the. Power of the night.
• 53:33
  King on your side like and then she's.
• 53:36
  Got all the? Weapons.
• 53:37
  She's got all these secret magical objects now that she
• 53:40
  learns how to use like what not only.
• 53:41
  That Septimus gives creepy, he gives old, he gives like he's
• 53:47
  got arthritis. He's Septimus.
• 53:49
  Snape, he's he's just it's fine. He.
• 53:53
  Literally sounds like he walks with a cane.
• 53:55
  Yeah, literally just. Kick his heel out from under him
• 53:58
  and he's over. I'm like you've got some knives
• 54:00
  just cutting behind the knee. You're good, was it?
• 54:03
  Him just. Trying to make her feel bad for
• 54:05
  him to be this brooding like, oh, this is the one place that I
• 54:09
  would never take my two previous lovers gang.
• 54:14
  Let's stop. There.
• 54:15
  I'm like, don't worry about the sheets, girl.
• 54:17
  They've never been washed. But they were.
• 54:19
  It's been that long since the other.
• 54:21
  Two, why does he always think about his ex, though, if he's so
• 54:24
  in love with Araya, OK? Nessie do not understand the
• 54:28
  love for her. Because one, she was not any
• 54:31
  better at not keeping him captive.
• 54:34
  She was just as bad. She actively watched all his
• 54:38
  torture and all that stuff, but not only that, he wanted to
• 54:42
  commit. And she was like, you know what?
• 54:45
  He wins if you commit. I'm like, yeah, but then he's
• 54:49
  not going through torture. And then he's.
• 54:51
  Just like that's the love of my life, but also.
• 54:54
  She knew he was used up, yeah. She's like, what?
• 55:01
  Better man to save and then she. He was trying to get.
• 55:05
  Her to run. And then she decided that she
• 55:07
  wanted to stay with her husband like you weren't her side piece.
• 55:12
  Like you didn't. Know you were the side piece
• 55:14
  from the get done and at this point.
• 55:16
  She probably had multiple side pieces.
• 55:18
  Yeah. Hello.
• 55:19
  This is just. A Tuesday.
• 55:20
  Night arrangement, apparently. Everyone loved her.
• 55:23
  Yeah, she's got. Suitors.
• 55:25
  Yeah, Okay. Everyone loved.
• 55:26
  Her because she. Him.
• 55:28
  Thinking he was special. I'm like she's.
• 55:30
  Lapping up the weird love because she's the savior, Yeah.
• 55:34
  Early. On in this.
• 55:35
  Book. I already realized that it was
• 55:39
  getting super political and I have zero capacity for politics.
• 55:44
  It was. Like this?
• 55:45
  Person is a lot this. One with this person.
• 55:49
  And. This person.
• 55:51
  Is from the House of. This that.
• 55:53
  I've never. Heard before.
• 55:55
  I need you. To spell it out like I'm a
• 55:57
  bully, like I don't understand, need a little.
• 56:00
  Glossary in the back, you know. Politics is the one thing I'm
• 56:03
  happy for. A really brief summary, like an
• 56:05
  overall summary. Don't flesh it out for Pages and
• 56:08
  pages and also. They were worried about people
• 56:12
  going against them. They put all this effort in for
• 56:15
  it only to mildly happen. Like it only mildly.
• 56:21
  It was only. A mild inconvenience.
• 56:24
  I just didn't. Know what was really at stake.
• 56:26
  No, I had. No clue, to be fair, I mean.
• 56:29
  He was just turned into the Night King, right?
• 56:31
  So like what? Like, what does that mean?
• 56:33
  Yes. Like, what is his role?
• 56:34
  Then? Why is?
• 56:35
  Everyone out to get him? Yeah, tell.
• 56:37
  Us Who and why? And what are they?
• 56:39
  Doing in a logical. Way like don't just give me all
• 56:42
  this back story. Why do?
• 56:43
  You need to go on a hunt for all these objects when you're
• 56:46
  already just killed them. Yeah, it's giving.
• 56:49
  Harry Potter, Horcruxes for what?
• 56:52
  For what? For what?
• 56:53
  Who's even the bad guy? Because at all the points, it
• 56:56
  was like Vincent's the backup bitch, he's dead.
• 57:01
  He's defeated. He was.
• 57:02
  Never a. Part of being the bad guy
• 57:04
  though, He was never there, but they keep blaming.
• 57:06
  Him for. Everything that's ever been gone
• 57:08
  wrong. Hashtag Justice for Vincent
• 57:11
  Danny. Vincent, don't you think?
• 57:12
  Though. Yeah, who?
• 57:13
  Who? Who?
• 57:16
  Why is? No one else The problem.
• 57:19
  Vincent was paranoid as fuck because he was trying to stop
• 57:22
  all this shit happening. I know.
• 57:24
  No wonder. At this point, the only
• 57:26
  interesting thing that was happening in this book was a
• 57:29
  crazy puzzle. Who is that again, Evaline?
• 57:33
  She was the Luna. She was giving Luna Lovegood,
• 57:36
  and you can't tell me otherwise. Yeah, I just.
• 57:38
  What the actual fuck? Why did she have little vampire
• 57:42
  children? And what happened with the
• 57:44
  children? What?
• 57:45
  What? What?
• 57:49
  I mean, of all characters to introduce at this point in the
• 57:52
  book, why someone so confusing trying to and dreaming about
• 57:56
  Vincent all the time was just sending me off a Cliff.
• 57:59
  I was like, just admit that you want to fuck your dad.
• 58:01
  Like I don't know what to say. Isn't that like the first face?
• 58:05
  She's seen after rain pushed her off the tower.
• 58:09
  How does that? OK, I know she was mad in
• 58:11
  between. About the forced.
• 58:13
  Marriage and blah blah. But how do they?
• 58:14
  Go to being. Super into each other and
• 58:16
  attracted to each other. Put pretty much sibling vibes
• 58:19
  the rest of the book like. Essentially, that's what it.
• 58:22
  Essentially. Became Yes, it's because he was.
• 58:25
  Doing anything he could to keep her around because he is equally
• 58:29
  obsessed with her. But.
• 58:31
  Just. The vibe of the book.
• 58:32
  Though. Yeah, because you.
• 58:33
  Know with this. Kind of book.
• 58:34
  You at least got to put in a different love interest to keep
• 58:38
  the tension which she going to pick.
• 58:40
  Or. You've got to still keep the
• 58:42
  enemies to love attention going. Yeah.
• 58:44
  At this point I'm like, oh, so it's done.
• 58:46
  Yeah, it's done. It's nothing.
• 58:48
  For us to wait around for anymore and then they.
• 58:51
  Tried to pick? It up at the very end of the
• 58:53
  book and I'm like bitch, they came in a.
• 58:55
  Little too hard at the end. And also she was like I.
• 58:57
  Just realized he's attractive. What do you?
• 59:00
  Mean. This.
• 59:02
  Is an old man and that was 95. Percent way of the way through
• 59:05
  the book. I was like, OK, I.
• 59:07
  Like a? Slow burn.
• 59:08
  But this was like a no burn. It was very.
• 59:11
  Both slow burns both books. But then.
• 59:14
  For the same person, it doesn't work.
• 59:16
  Twice it doesn't. It's actually.
• 59:18
  Fucking annoying. OK, here's my.
• 59:20
  Concept too. You can't go back and forth,
• 59:22
  enemies to lovers. It's got to go enemies to lovers
• 59:27
  and stay that way. You cannot fucking keep going
• 59:30
  back and forth, back and forth. It doesn't work.
• 59:32
  I feel like there's another. Series that is Enemies to
• 59:34
  Lovers, Lovers to Enemies. But it was multiple times back
• 59:38
  and forth. It was like enemies to lovers to
• 59:40
  neutral, Yeah, to. But she doesn't.
• 59:43
  The thing is she. Doesn't have a choice because
• 59:45
  she can't fucking go anywhere and is 1 redeeming quality by
• 59:48
  the end of the book. Is that she's allowed to go
• 59:51
  somewhere? How did she?
• 59:54
  Start off such a badass. And then now.
• 59:56
  We've got this shell of a human being leftover when she got.
• 59:59
  She's powerful now and. We've got nothing.
• 1:00:02
  Out of her anytime. They're like, oh, what are we
• 1:00:05
  going to do? And then they're like, oh, but
• 1:00:07
  we're the winners of the kajari one.
• 1:00:08
  He is not the winner of the kajari.
• 1:00:10
  He literally. He It was a loophole, bitch.
• 1:00:12
  A loophole? One of many that you fucking
• 1:00:15
  took and. 2. I don't think she is either,
• 1:00:18
  because he was the one that killed himself, essentially, and
• 1:00:21
  he ended up winning. Essentially, like when she did
• 1:00:25
  so. She can't say she's a winner
• 1:00:26
  either. Neither of them.
• 1:00:27
  Winners. And she keeps being cocky and
• 1:00:29
  like, well, I won like a jar bitch.
• 1:00:31
  You haven't even avenged. Your dad.
• 1:00:33
  We're sitting. Here waiting for it.
• 1:00:35
  Foul. Anyone else killed her dad.
• 1:00:38
  It would have been on site. Oh, I know.
• 1:00:41
  At least if Septimus killed. The dad We've got a plot for
• 1:00:44
  this book. It would have been.
• 1:00:45
  So good if like Misha. Yeah.
• 1:00:49
  Or even Angelica, like somebody killed fucking Vincent so that
• 1:00:51
  we can have a plot going, yeah, And then.
• 1:00:53
  Her trying to rage out? Yeah, not just.
• 1:00:56
  Back and forth with rain. Rain at this point tell me why
• 1:01:01
  he decides to 1 push her off a tower Two.
• 1:01:04
  Then she sits on a random tower with wings because she now can
• 1:01:07
  fly. But she didn't.
• 1:01:08
  He didn't teach her how to fly and then left her there for an
• 1:01:11
  hour. And then she has to jump down
• 1:01:14
  onto buildings as a human, and then she can't put them away and
• 1:01:18
  she's attacked by small children.
• 1:01:21
  Shame job. She's getting fucking.
• 1:01:23
  Ankle bit left, right and centre and this man couldn't wait
• 1:01:26
  fucking an hour. It's embarrassing.
• 1:01:29
  Embarrassing. And then she's got here kicking
• 1:01:33
  children away like this. This is 1.
• 1:01:36
  Of those things. Where?
• 1:01:36
  Where? They're like, how many toddlers
• 1:01:38
  can you fight? How many children?
• 1:01:40
  4. Araya it was about two.
• 1:01:44
  Can I just say? Why is every part of the book?
• 1:01:48
  US supposed. To be wanking over how powerful
• 1:01:51
  Vincent is, but we never got to see any of him being powerful
• 1:01:56
  ever the only. Times we ever seen him in any
• 1:01:59
  context was him chucking tantrums and like pinning her to
• 1:02:02
  walls. Literally.
• 1:02:03
  I'm like, but the only thing he is is in a pizza.
• 1:02:06
  But we never. Got to see this all powerful
• 1:02:08
  night King. It was just like, oh he is.
• 1:02:11
  And then it would just talk about the past.
• 1:02:14
  He is, and he wiped out an entire city.
• 1:02:17
  He cares at this point. Why are we still wanking over
• 1:02:21
  him? He got taken.
• 1:02:22
  Out by a fucking 23 year old girl and a boyfriend and I was
• 1:02:26
  so. Excited when this book started
• 1:02:27
  that we wouldn't have to have Vincent popping up in her head
• 1:02:29
  anymore. And then it kept having even
• 1:02:31
  more. And I was like, what the heck,
• 1:02:32
  he's dead. It was worse.
• 1:02:34
  It was worse. If.
• 1:02:35
  Anything it was. Worse, this is the one thing I'm
• 1:02:38
  going to. Have as a direct attack to the
• 1:02:40
  author. Did she not go on to fucking
• 1:02:43
  control F and type in There she is Before sending out this book,
• 1:02:48
  just do a quick. There she is.
• 1:02:50
  Because I swear to fucking God it was in there 150 times.
• 1:02:54
  I would love to know. How many times I would love to?
• 1:02:57
  Know. And just the.
• 1:02:58
  Smirking. I don't know.
• 1:02:59
  OK, so we got to the bit where there's a fucking ball for
• 1:03:05
  fallible. That's where they have the weird
• 1:03:07
  wing rubbing scene to do. They he like helps her covered
• 1:03:11
  in holes from being pinned to the wall and she's like moaning
• 1:03:14
  back arching and Misha's like the fuck.
• 1:03:18
  Oh, that's right. That.
• 1:03:19
  Was the Robin tug that was. Was the actual having sex?
• 1:03:21
  Yeah, Yeah, it was. Just a rubber she.
• 1:03:23
  Interrupted the when Misha interrupted.
• 1:03:25
  Yeah, but how did? We get there because.
• 1:03:27
  She didn't make him grovel until later.
• 1:03:30
  Yeah. Where's?
• 1:03:31
  The fucking. Forgiveness for killing their
• 1:03:33
  dad between there and the Robin Thug?
• 1:03:35
  What? What?
• 1:03:38
  You're just gonna. Let him touch your wings.
• 1:03:40
  Just let him pussy. Out.
• 1:03:43
  Like what is going? On what has he done but be a
• 1:03:47
  loser and put you in a cage? You just sink, breed and royed

  Mad about it? Like stop.
• 1:04:06
  Giving guys prime beef when they don't even deserve they do not.
• 1:04:11
  They do not. This is what's wrong with the.
• 1:04:13
  Dating marketplace, is these also serving up prime beef?
• 1:04:18
  Do people who? Just fucking kill their dad.
• 1:04:21
  Like at that point, do. Men have to raise the standards.
• 1:04:23
  Guess what? They don't.
• 1:04:25
  Because this is the. Standard as in Haiti's.
• 1:04:30
  It's just you're like, you know? What's wrong with this world?
• 1:04:33
  Men killing their fathers and then?
• 1:04:36
  Men killing their. Girlfriend's fathers, Yes.
• 1:04:38
  It's a pandemic. At this point.
• 1:04:43
  But if. We don't raise our standards as
• 1:04:45
  women. What can you do?
• 1:04:48
  This is why, girls. Are out here dating guys like
• 1:04:50
  Kyle, who wears socks and slides and won't get off the couch and
• 1:04:53
  are just wanking and, I don't know, using up their Wi-Fi data
• 1:04:57
  to watch porn and don't have a job?
• 1:04:59
  OK, that's how. This situation happens.
• 1:05:04
  It's the. Same.
• 1:05:05
  Energy but fantasy? You let him?
• 1:05:11
  Touch your new found wings. When he just.
• 1:05:16
  Killed your dad. A.
• 1:05:19
  Shame. A shame.
• 1:05:22

• 1:05:41
  A powerful mother, so she's not only half vampire, half human,
• 1:05:46
  half human with a powerful mother also.
• 1:05:48
  Why does she only care about the mother 90% through the 2nd book?
• 1:05:52
  She doesn't. Like it?
• 1:05:53
  Never. Fucking mattered.
• 1:05:55
  Tell me you live. In a patriarchal vampire society
• 1:05:57
  without telling it? And why did it?
• 1:05:59
  Only matter. Why did it only matter when he
• 1:06:04
  was dying? Exactly.
• 1:06:06
  Riddle me this. Riddle me this She didn't.
• 1:06:09
  Give a fuck. Whose womb she popped out over
• 1:06:11
  until. 90% through this fuck. And I was like bitch who like I.
• 1:06:16
  Didn't even know you can. Why is it?
• 1:06:19
  OK. Can I just like, let's bring
• 1:06:22
  this back in Disney movies too And general storytelling, why is
• 1:06:26
  it always more important who the daddy is?
• 1:06:29
  Never the. Mom, it's always the moms dead.
• 1:06:32
  Mom doesn't matter. Moms.
• 1:06:34
  Just a womb. It's fine.
• 1:06:36
  It's always about who's your daddy.
• 1:06:39
  True. Look it up.
• 1:06:41
  Look it up. I was watching the Pirates of
• 1:06:43
  the Caribbean franchise. Yeah, and everything.
• 1:06:47
  It was like, oh, Will Turner, his dad is Bill.
• 1:06:49
  Whatever face. The girl that gets.
• 1:06:51
  Introduced her dad is Barbosa fucking.
• 1:06:54
  They care more about who Davy Jones's dad or.
• 1:06:57
  Elizabeth. Swan's dad.
• 1:06:58
  It's about everyone's dad. Never about the mom.
• 1:07:03
  She's always dead. They're.
• 1:07:05
  Always dead I. Can never story.
• 1:07:09
  Any. Instant plot point is dead mom.
• 1:07:12
  Good. We don't.
• 1:07:12
  Even want to develop a female character?
• 1:07:14
  Good ways to. Get rid of a complex character
• 1:07:17
  than to just kill the mum. Yeah, who?
• 1:07:18
  Cares. It's just a mum.
• 1:07:20
  That's literally what it boils down to is mums don't matter
• 1:07:24
  hashtag. Justice.
• 1:07:25
  For mums, justice for. Mums.
• 1:07:26
  They do all the work, all the questions in female.
• 1:07:29
  Written stories. Mums don't.
• 1:07:32
  Matter I would love. A mum?
• 1:07:34
  That's a villain. But the irony?
• 1:07:35
  Is mums are reading this shit? So you're.
• 1:07:39
  Killing off your target audience, bitch.
• 1:07:43
  What are you doing? What are you doing?
• 1:07:44
  Why are you making? Every female lead character 16
• 1:07:48
  years old when it really should be Debbie who's popped out four
• 1:07:51
  kids. I'm.
• 1:07:52
  Down and she's. Getting rain on, I'd rather.
• 1:07:57
  Be drunk but like. It's just cute.
• 1:08:00
  I don't know what's. Happening right now.
• 1:08:03
  I'm so. Lost.
• 1:08:05
  I'm. Brainstorming.
• 1:08:06
  I'm watching you just. Being around the room at this
• 1:08:09
  point. But you know what I mean.
• 1:08:11
  Like, give your audiences, moms. Give me a mom.
• 1:08:14
  Why do all the moms get? Tired.
• 1:08:16
  Just as the milks and then when they do.
• 1:08:18
  Have a mom. They're a trash mom.
• 1:08:21
  But. Anyway, who was a raise?
• 1:08:26
  Mom, because I didn't pay attention to that.
• 1:08:28
  Alana. She sounds like normal.
• 1:08:32
  Alana. She.
• 1:08:33
  Did a lot of things. But she was dead.
• 1:08:37
  And no one knows how she died on her gravestone.
• 1:08:42
  It says Alana. A lot of.
• 1:08:45
  Things. Done it's like.
• 1:08:46
  Alana, I guess it. Would be Alana.
• 1:08:51
  Just a worm. It's just so.
• 1:08:53
  But like, who cares because just her crusade actually
• 1:08:55
  investigate. It's just her mom.
• 1:08:57
  Just mom. It's just this.
• 1:09:00
  Is OK. Bring it back.
• 1:09:02
  Carla. It's getting off that tangent.
• 1:09:05
  We're getting off the tangent. We're going to the ball.
• 1:09:09
  That's why. Many balls.
• 1:09:10
  This is why I. Created the tangent because I
• 1:09:13
  you were avoiding. The ball, yes.
• 1:09:15
  We all try to. Avoid the balls, there's.
• 1:09:18
  No reason. There's never a reason.
• 1:09:21
  And you can't tell. Me.
• 1:09:22
  Otherwise, there's never a reason for a ball.
• 1:09:24
  The reason? For the balls in this book is to
• 1:09:26
  get her titties out actual. Titties.
• 1:09:29
  And a tattoo out titties. And tats.
• 1:09:32
  Titties and tats. It's all that matters at this
• 1:09:35
  point. Jack and X's.
• 1:09:36
  Tits are tattered. 100% I was like, I when they started saying
• 1:09:42
  fixes, tits, I was like, oh, they're really going against
• 1:09:45
  this. I thought it was Niacia because
• 1:09:47
  she has that thing, but there's another one that was like a sex
• 1:09:51
  goddess and I was like I. Didn't.
• 1:09:53
  Even realize that, Yeah. It was in the first book they
• 1:09:56
  when they were doing a trial and they had the gods and they had
• 1:09:59
  the one with the weird flowers in her eyes.
• 1:10:01
  That was, yeah. So the bull Was there anything
• 1:10:03
  worth noting 1? Simon's an asshole.
• 1:10:07
  He. Comes.
• 1:10:08
  In He's someone's brother that he already killed.
• 1:10:11
  They already knew that there was a traitor.
• 1:10:14
  So why are you out here? Left, right and centre, drinking
• 1:10:17
  everything? Yeah.
• 1:10:18
  Why do you? Why are you getting drugged?
• 1:10:21
  Why is there a weird dance in the people?
• 1:10:23
  Getting drugged? I can victim.
• 1:10:26
  Blame Raid for anything at this point.
• 1:10:29
  I mean, Rae is not drugged because she's not drinking
• 1:10:32
  anything at this point, but she. Did get whisked around the room
• 1:10:35
  in. Some really dramatic dance scene
• 1:10:37
  that I still don't understand. It was a blur to me.
• 1:10:40
  It was a bit of a slug because they were like at the peak of
• 1:10:43
  this dance and then he did this and I'm like cool.
• 1:10:46
  All I can imagine is him just flopping her around a bit, but
• 1:10:49
  it the whole. Purpose was to make Rain jealous
• 1:10:51
  as always, right? It was Rain.
• 1:10:53
  Dancing with her. I'm thinking of that other guy
• 1:10:55
  it was. No, but Simon was the one that
• 1:10:58
  they were trying to make. Jealous fucks me at this point.
• 1:11:01
  You're telling me that, say he's drugged.
• 1:11:05
  He's strung up on some wall because they have a weird fetish
• 1:11:08
  for pinning the wings to walls. You're telling.
• 1:11:12
  Me that, Septimus. The look of panic in your eyes.
• 1:11:21
  It's because I'm literally. Shaking from the caffeine, I'm
• 1:11:24
  like. You're telling.
• 1:11:26
  Me that Septimus has bet on this human girl every chance he get.
• 1:11:33
  He's watched her be violent, take people down, take vampires
• 1:11:37
  down. He has so much confidence in her
• 1:11:41
  that he bets on her all the time.
• 1:11:42
  He's he her winning bet, except for this one time.
• 1:11:46
  Very crucial. But they take her, they don't.
• 1:11:50
  I think they drug her. I'm not sure what happens.
• 1:11:52
  Or she gets knocked out and they just leave her with two guards.
• 1:11:56
  2 guards. That claw up her leg weirdly to
• 1:12:00
  get her dagger. This man literally goes.
• 1:12:05
  I've watched her in the Kajari and I know she's fucking brutal,
• 1:12:08
  but you know who's going to keep her held down to little guards?
• 1:12:14
  And he. Really watched this bitch go up
• 1:12:17
  against 300 year old vampires. Not one or two fucking fifty of
• 1:12:23
  them. And he was like just two.
• 1:12:25
  Not a roomful, just two. And.
• 1:12:28
  She kills. Them instantly.
• 1:12:29
  How did he have so? Much faith and then just.
• 1:12:32
  Under arrest, she goes upstairs to get Rain, who's pinned to a
• 1:12:35
  wall because he's fucking hopeless at this point.
• 1:12:38
  The pins are just those little sewing pins.
• 1:12:42
  Just the ones that they. Do for moths, yeah, but with
• 1:12:45
  like. Little.
• 1:12:46
  Strawberries on. Them cute cute kawaii.
• 1:12:51
  And she kills like. 30 guards in that one room, yeah.
• 1:12:54
  She's like I'm. Angry now, but they give.
• 1:12:56
  Him. 30 guards and he's pinned on a wall, half dead.
• 1:13:00
  Yeah, dripping out. Dripping out blood.
• 1:13:02
  Everywhere just. Blood everywhere.
• 1:13:04
  She saves him. They get to the human district
• 1:13:07
  and you're telling me I'm so angry?
• 1:13:10
  You're. Telling me, get it, that he was
• 1:13:13
  strung up on a wall 20 minutes ago, blood stripping out of him
• 1:13:16
  and the first thing they do, it's fun.
• 1:13:20
  Obviously. They fuck and drink each other's
• 1:13:22
  blood and then they've got some to spare.
• 1:13:25
  At this point, there's some fluids.
• 1:13:27
  Left like he wasn't. Hung up on the little meat hook,
• 1:13:29
  dripping a couple of minutes. Yep.
• 1:13:33
  And isn't that when they ran into the human later?
• 1:13:35
  Yes, if you weren't fucking, you would have made it before the
• 1:13:39
  sun came out. Dick Wards.
• 1:13:41
  No, that's when they were like on the she flew out the window
• 1:13:44
  with him and she was struggling to get him in.
• 1:13:47
  And then the human reception, the receptionist.
• 1:13:51
  The. Bellboy.
• 1:13:52
  The bellboy helped him and was like, I'm not stupid.
• 1:13:55
  I know it's someone and it's got to be you saving the world.
• 1:13:58
  And then then they fuck. After he was literally hung up.
• 1:14:02
  Oh, that's right. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 1:14:03
  How did he? Display.
• 1:14:05
  Such patheticness that made you want to bone him.
• 1:14:08
  I honestly think between the 1st and the 2nd book, it's like she
• 1:14:11
  guzzled some pick me kool-aid. Yeah.
• 1:14:16
  It doesn't make. Any sense you're telling?
• 1:14:18
  Me, she went from essentially winning the kajari on her own as
• 1:14:21
  a human against vampires, and the second she's married to him,
• 1:14:25
  she's like toast is submissive. That's what I.
• 1:14:28
  Mean He's dying and he's like, you know what I'm a give you.
• 1:14:32
  A picture of your mom. And a bracelet.
• 1:14:35
  And then she's like. Redeemed.
• 1:14:37
  Redeemed. He kept you captive, but The
• 1:14:39
  thing is, he's. Like he.
• 1:14:41
  Wants her to leave and he gives her presents and he's like you
• 1:14:46
  always had the choice to leave or whatever.
• 1:14:49
  Why would? She.
• 1:14:50
  Why? Does he think?
• 1:14:52
  She wants to fucking leave like she wasn't plotting against him.
• 1:14:56
  Mildly not very well for her throne originally.
• 1:15:00
  Why would she just leave? If anything, kill him and go
• 1:15:04
  kill all the other people she has.
• 1:15:06
  Her throne like this is just, but he knows.
• 1:15:08
  That she won't do it because she's a pussy.
• 1:15:10
  So you know how we've coined the anal to love pipeline?
• 1:15:13
  Yes. Get ready.
• 1:15:15
  For the Oral Sex Apology World tour to forgiveness pipeline.
• 1:15:19
  It happened in the. Last book we read.
• 1:15:25
  Remember the mindfuck? It was the oral sex to
• 1:15:28
  forgiveness pipeline. Yeah, the weird begging.
• 1:15:31
  The grovelling. Yeah, it wasn't.
• 1:15:33
  Sexy it was. The only time you can get these
• 1:15:35
  men to grovel is when they're getting head.
• 1:15:38
  Make them. Grovel pipeline probably, yeah,
• 1:15:40
  but like. It's always them only offering
• 1:15:43
  oral sex to the girl because they've majorly fucked up just
• 1:15:47
  in. Life, yeah.
• 1:15:48
  And I'm. Like, huh?
• 1:15:49
  That's not how it works. Fucking fail.
• 1:15:52
  So this book. Was seriously lacking in the
• 1:15:54
  creatures and vampire action scenes that the first one
• 1:15:58
  actually had? Yeah, it was.
• 1:15:59
  Kind of like. Why did we get introduced to all
• 1:16:01
  that to then have nothing we had like?
• 1:16:03
  Just some mild cousin thing. Do you know what Vincent is an
• 1:16:07
  ass. We know that he's a terrible
• 1:16:09
  person, but not only is he a terrible person, but why would
• 1:16:12
  you give your human daughter one way in and out of the castle and
• 1:16:16
  through a sewer? I feel like he just did that.
• 1:16:19
  Funny, Yeah, he just. Did that for the walls.
• 1:16:22
  You know what you're going to crawl?
• 1:16:24
  Through. Shit, for me he's like.
• 1:16:26
  I know you're going to betray me at some point for some fucking
• 1:16:29
  penis, yeah? So eat.
• 1:16:31
  Shit. Eat shit.
• 1:16:33
  But could you imagine? You could not pay me to swim
• 1:16:36
  through shit and the way they just casually wipe it off their
• 1:16:40
  eyes. Off their eyes like that's not
• 1:16:43
  populating pink eye in light when.
• 1:16:46
  She cuts her hand. And I'm like, girl, you're going
• 1:16:49
  to die. You're going to.
• 1:16:53
  Die though. I don't know.
• 1:16:55
  I feel like we told a lot of stuff, but that doesn't lead to
• 1:16:58
  things a lot of the time. I hope.
• 1:17:01
  It does, but I also don't know if this is a universe I want to
• 1:17:04
  read. No, I'm not revisiting.
• 1:17:07
  This is the end. This is it for me.
• 1:17:08
  This is the end of the line. I'm surprised there's going to
• 1:17:11
  be four more books because I don't know what's left to
• 1:17:13
  happen. Do.
• 1:17:14
  You reckon this? Is a filler.
• 1:17:15
  Book, and that's why. But it's just so long to be a
• 1:17:17
  filler book, no? Well, that's.
• 1:17:19
  The problem isn't there. There's so much book that it's
• 1:17:21
  filler and it's nothing of quality.
• 1:17:23
  But then they finally get to Jasmine.
• 1:17:26
  Why are these two again? Forgetting everything that's
• 1:17:29
  happened in between them flying through shit for days, like 2
• 1:17:32
  weeks of flight covered and shit, But why are they fucking
• 1:17:36
  in the springs while they're washing shit off themselves?
• 1:17:40
  They're literally washing shit off themselves.
• 1:17:44
  Like once you. Get on one spring, wash it all
• 1:17:46
  off. Together and then go.
• 1:17:48
  Hop and clean the ones to actually get clean blows my
• 1:17:51
  mind. I really.
• 1:17:53
  Just don't care. What happens to this couple's
• 1:17:55
  life? And it tried to be an action and
• 1:17:59
  then it tried to really pull in the romance together, but it
• 1:18:01
  really quit. Focus on the action.
• 1:18:04
  Give no attention to the romance throughout the whole book.
• 1:18:06
  You can't just pick it up in the last 10.
• 1:18:08
  Percent. And expect us to be on board.
• 1:18:10
  Sorry, it's got to be. Peppered through.
• 1:18:12
  There's got to be a reason for them to get together the 2nd.
• 1:18:15
  War is also a cop out because it's a 5 minute fight while
• 1:18:19
  she's running around in caves talking to Vincent because you
• 1:18:22
  know fuck me what she's doing. And then he dies again, and she
• 1:18:27
  just asks another God. Like.
• 1:18:31
  That she. Wasted her God's blood.
• 1:18:34
  She gave it to Niaxia and was like I'll give you this God
• 1:18:39
  blood but make him alive. And she was like, Nah bitch I'm
• 1:18:42
  out and just took the God blood and then somehow they still won
• 1:18:46
  the war but there was no there's no telling on what happened.
• 1:18:50
  But why? When the 1st.
• 1:18:51
  Time. You sacrificed everything to
• 1:18:53
  save his life. Didn't work.
• 1:18:54
  Why would you do it again? He hasn't done.
• 1:18:56
  Anything. Different in the meantime.
• 1:18:58
  And why bond with him? Them.
• 1:19:01
  Bonding and them describing the bond after makes her and Vincent
• 1:19:05
  doing it fucking weird, I. Know and you know, it's just
• 1:19:08
  going to be like 4th Wing, how they're in each other's stupid
• 1:19:11
  heads and can feel each other's emotions and I'm like get me off
• 1:19:15
  of this train, I'll. Just.
• 1:19:19
  It feels. Like a sex.
• 1:19:20
  Thing and the fact that she wanted.
• 1:19:22
  To do 100%. But then they.
• 1:19:26
  Wrap it up really quickly and they're in love.
• 1:19:27
  They're doing a a celebration and that's it.
• 1:19:30
  The only thing that happened good out of this whole war is
• 1:19:33
  they got humans on their side. That's it.
• 1:19:35
  Like that's. Believable, Yeah.
• 1:19:38
  I. Murdering humans?
• 1:19:40
  This whole time I as a human. Is not going up against the War
• 1:19:44
  of 3000 vampires. I would be dead.
• 1:19:47
  Fit as I could be, I would be dead.
• 1:19:49
  I'd be like, oh, you're. Drafting me No, you're not?
• 1:19:51
  No. No.
• 1:19:52
  You're not sorry. Not the war.
• 1:19:53
  For me? Nope.
• 1:19:54
  Sorry, I I I wear glasses. I'm blind as a bat anyway.
• 1:19:58
  I'm not getting drafted for shit.
• 1:19:59
  But you know that humans don't know all of their back story,
• 1:20:03
  they just know that they're vampires.
• 1:20:04
  So why would you just go along with it?
• 1:20:06
  Like it just doesn't make? And why?
• 1:20:08
  Did. No one seek out if they're going
• 1:20:11
  to bring in a Reyes family. Why did her family not seek her
• 1:20:15
  out? They heard stories of her up in
• 1:20:18
  the castle. Why did no one seek her out?
• 1:20:20
  She had an aunt and uncle that was so in love with her, but no
• 1:20:24
  one seeked her out. What?
• 1:20:25
  Are we thinking? What should we rate this out of
• 1:20:28
  existence out of five? Honestly, probably a three, I
• 1:20:33
  reckon. First book. 3.
• 1:20:36
  Out of five existence. 2nd book, one out of five existence.
• 1:20:40
  Because what the fuck? At least the first book had hope
• 1:20:43
  it makes sense. When the first book is slow.
• 1:20:45
  Because you've got to do all the set up, but you can't come out
• 1:20:48
  out of the gate 100 kilometers per hour.
• 1:20:50
  And then in the second book go, yeah, I'll just put a filler
• 1:20:52
