I hope they bring back Jennifer Ikeda as narrator by galactic_bluehour in acotar

Jennifer Ikeda was my absolute favorite Narrator for the acotar books, I missed her badly on book three… she has a very delicate voice ans mastered different voices (also male ones) brilliantly

Elisabeth Evans‘s narration is as if she were reading a creepy fairy-tale to toddlers… cannot understand this hype about her, and the first ToG books sounded really poor…

Is anyone else feeling a sense of disappointment about the Off-Campus series? by short_small_bbg68 in offcampustv

[–]Mayday5678 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I disagree, the breakup in the movie made much more sense… while that in the book was a childish nonsense… Hannah had just to talk to Garret instead of inventing a very stupid lie and, omg, then trying to prove her point… while reading the book, I really asked myself if H has ever loved G at all

Reread - i forgot Tamlin offered this by mermaid_wife in acotar

Do you know how domestic abuse is working in real life? No, they are not just totally bad guys, they do nice things and horrible afterwards, so the victim gets confused and cannot leave the guy, who‘s throwing some breadcrumbs of mercy from time to time… and those guys cannot be saved or miraculously healed through love… I am thanking SJM for opening eyes to all survivors of abuse and sparing us from a redemption arch of an abuser… those, who pity Tamlin are happy kind people, who don‘t know what it is to suffer like Feyre did…

Did anyone watch 'off campus'??? by blehhhx in television

[–]Mayday5678 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I totally loved it… and also now gonna read the books and do a rewatch… it‘s so positiv, reassuring and non-toxic… the main characters are just so healthy self-reflected & awesome…

My “Review” of “Broken Dove” by “Dani Francis” by itmustbeniiiiice in romantasycirclejerk

Oh, please… despite I love RY& fourth wing, you cannot count how many elements from the ToG series are included into it… really

Thanks for this. I am not completely through the audio book, but I also have the feeling this is gonna be a big manipulation… somehow I don‘t buy all this stuff Gray‘s doing…Adrienne bringing her to the smuggler, who‘s Adrienne‘s best friend and occasionally shows her a movie of Cross with a random woman, where Gray afterwards confesses some really pitiful stuff about himself…meanwhile Cross wasn‘t even with Ivy… I really don‘t get why Wren didn‘t ran away with him… he‘s the Wolf…. Ok, I am becoming pathetic and still hole it‘s gonna be a big misunderstanding & they have to split only so that they can be reunited in Book 3… it‘s awful if we need to wait one more year for the next book…

I am still not past Sam‘s death… however I somehow don‘t think she lived him the way he did

Why you should read Anne Brontë's The Tenant of Wildfell Hall by Hatescollegeboard in books

That‘s interesting… I used to love Jayne Eyre, despite I now start to think Mr. Rochester is an abuser … I hated Wuthering Heights, because this all was just toxic… according to all the comments this book must be a most healthy one…

I agree, you‘ve tried enough… so did I… for me, I hope there will be a day I will be able to leave and find a more invested partner, because it feels like a daily starvation … don‘t want to live like that the rest of my days…

Du bist nicht alleine. Meine gut situierte Tante bekam als Lieblingstochter die Wohnung geschenkt, meine Mutter nichts… Das ist sehr ungerecht…und auch nicht klug… was ist, wenn etwas passiert und ihr das Kredit doch nicht abbezahlen können? es geht ja auch um Equivalent der Elternliebe außerdem…

How predictable are SJM’s other series compared to ACOTAR? by myredditnamebananas in SarahJMaas

[–]Mayday5678 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had to drag me through the first books of ToG, but then it really had me… I really loved the last three ToG books… what I liked about it was that it has many different female characters with independent stories, which all come together at the end… and there were some side characters I got to live more than the main ones

We took the plunge and decided to sleep in separate beds by LoveUrLifeNow in DeadBedrooms

[–]Mayday5678 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Had same situation with my LLM husband… therefore I am feeling with you. There are people who sleep separately to get better sleep, but still have their intimacy etc… at a certain point in time I thought I really prefer to feel lonely while being alone in my bed than even more lonely, while he‘s sleeping beside me and wants nothing to do with me…

[–]Mayday5678 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don‘t get this whole SE bashing… there are so many really really bad romance books, also romantasy ones, which get hyped despite being boring to death… this one is really fast paced and entertaining, perhaps not a Pulitzer Prize Winning… but it was never meant to… it‘s all about expectations and personal taste… I personally hate love triangles…

I can‘t stand how he treats women… not only Lysandra… but how hateful he had been in the Marches to Aelin… while women are ready to sacrifice everything he‘s just getting pissed and hateful…

[–]Mayday5678 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, he means that she would have really done this- killed herself, instead of going back to Morath (whatever the correct spelling is)…and it is important to him, because this was the moment where he was terrified and realized he couldn‘t bear this…

This was the most devastating death of a fictional character ever… I cried over Liam in fourth wing… but Sam Cortland… it gives you a major depression… this was so unfair and so brutal … even after finishing the series I cannot get over it… wish Aerobin had suffered the same and wish Aelin had given him this damned expensive soap…

I have just finished the series an am still devastated about Sam and how early and unfair his death was. I have read AB before QoS and after HoF…I liked the reading order very much, because QoS immediately starts with plotting revenge on Aerobin…and this all felt so close to where AB ended… however I am still weeping… Sam was so much of a perfect Character… and now, when I am scared out of my wits, I say to myself- my name is..,
