Ahh they look so good!

Some of my favorite dragon books include the Seraphina books by Rachel Hartman and Peter S. Beagle’s recent release, I’m Afraid You’ve Got Dragons. They don’t fall in the fantasy romance category and feel more like classic fantasy books. (The dragons in Robin Hobb’s Realm of the Elderlings are great too, but you have to get through several books before they make an appearance 😅)

💚🖤

Isn't gwen and art are not in love st martins press?

I have yet to read Ruthless Vows, but I have also definitely adjusted my expectations. But I am so excited to get more of the fantasy and lore of the world. Queen Rebecca can't go wrong!

the bestie cameo was so cute <3 we all need a bestie to be our hype woman like Katie

❤

What's your favorite fantasy world that you've read so far and what's your magic system you love?

I loved your sweatshirt..Halloween is my hands down favorite holiday!

The amount of UK Books I want to order purely for the covers is forever growing 😅 Also loved getting to watch the 24 Hour Readathon. I'm with you, I would not have been able to stay awake! I have to go to bed before 10pm to still feel human the next day.

Hello ! I am French and also a big reader but not as much as you (I am a librarian). Too bad you didn't enjoy The Priory of the Orange Tree because I loved it ! I was apprehensive with so many pages but the universe transported me. Otherwhise, great vlog! 🤗

If yall arent staying for these fabulous bloopers then what are you doing here??? Oh no Edwin!!!!

Once I saw this, I instantly clicked it. Everything about this 24 hr readathon is a vibe! Gotta love Cass and Katie content with visiting furry guests lol - I just got the Ruthless duet UK edition a few months ago from PangoBooks, so I'm curious about your take on it.

You two together..that just made my whole day!!! Love you gals. 🤎🤎🤎

yes my favorite duo 🎉

A 24 hour readathon featuring two the of best booktubers? I'm in! Puts book down to watch.

Hey Cass! Since you enjoyed Rebecca Ross's writing, I wanted to recommend Dreams Lie Beneath by her! It's a standalone and such a wonderful story !! Hope you had a great time with Katie, love seeing you two filming together :) <3

I was going to read One Dark Window (I've been procrastinating for some reason) but...Bridge Kingdom is also on my tbr, it's shorter and seeing you enjoy it and Katie give it a 5 stars really makes me wanna read it now😂

I love to see you together 🤣🫶🏼💓

Sooo excited for this!!🎀💗

Katie in the background while you speak about Bridge Kingdom. 🎃🎃

I have Bridged Kingdom on my tbr next month for a book club pick and excited to get to it.^_^ So much fun.

omg that’s me!!😳😳🤠😤 this was seriously so fun to watch though, obviously the bloopers were the best part😭

I love your "The Haunted" sweatshirt! Where did you get it?

omg!! i love you and Katie’s vids. this is the best!

Love your videos very much❤

I literally stopped watching this video long enough to go to the library and pick up a copy of The First Binding lol

I know you switched the term 'romantasy' for 'fantasy romance' because you don't like the term 'romantasy' but just in case you didn't know those two things have very different meanings. A romantasy is a book were the romance takes priority in the story and the plot, its basically a standard romance where the relationship is the plot and it's just put in a 'fantasy' setting -- I put fantasy in quote marks because from the ones that I have read the setting is usually a very surface level veneer of a generic fantasy land and the world building is kind of weak. Whereas a fantasy romance is the opposite and kind of has a broader scope of stories that can be classified as fantasy romance -- for these books the fantasy is the priority but it includes a romance storyline or subplot. This can be any story that has a 50/50 split between fantasy and romance or less -- for example Throne of Glass isn't a romantasy, its a fantasy romance because there is expansive world building and each of the books has a fantasy plot and the series overall has an overarching fantasy plot, the main focus of the series is fantasy but there are romantic subplots woven throughout the series, I would say Throne of Glass as a series overall is 60% fantasy and 40% romance. Any book where the fantasy plot line is equal to or takes priority over the romance plot is categorised as a 'fantasy romance' -- however, with all the hype and buzz over 'romantasy', especially with TikTok, any fantasy book that includes romance is now being called a 'romantasy' which I find frustrating because I personally don't like romantasy books, I need there to be a plot that is more than just a relationship and I know a lot of other readers who feel the same way, but with everything being labelled as 'romantasy' now, a lot of readers like me write off reading books marketed or labelled as a romantasy which means there are a ton of books that readers like me could potentially love and enjoy but we never read because it's been mis-labelled. I know you changed the term because you don't like the term 'romantasy' and you explained that in the video but I thought I would just explain the different definitions in case you weren't aware of them or in case anyone else watching and reading these comments weren't aware of them. And if anyone here is a reader like me who likes fantasy romance but doesn't like romantasy please be aware that most books with any kind of romance in, no matter how small, are now being labelled as 'romantasy' so before you write them off do a little research of your own because you could be missing out on your next best read or your new favourite book/series just because it was mislabelled. Great video, I'm new to your channel but I've just subscribed, I love your energy <3

How do you get the stickers of the book covers?

Omgomg Romania mentioned 🥺🥺

I can't wait to read Dungeons and Drama! My fiancé usually is the DM for campaigns and got me into D&D (plus Critical Role). I'm waiting to read it the month we go to the Ren Faire here in Colorado 😍

You kept on demoting the Sanderson shelf 😂😂 Those Dragonsteel special edition books are amazing!

SOO interesting to hear your priory thoughts. I agree a lottt with everything you said - the battle being 20pgs 😭😭 at least it’s finally off your tbr!!

never thought I’d hear the phrase “speaking of turds” in a cass video LMAO

Your journey from wanting to read priory to actually reading priory sounds similar to my relationship with it. Except I still have yet to actually pick up and read my copy lol. Maybe I’ll finally get around to it this summer.

Priory looks so daunting but it’s actually like 22,000 words shorter than Fourth Wing

Now I’m definitely scared to pick the priory of the orange tree and when the moon hatched. I still have faith but not so much and after you said the things about the narrative perspectives in dragonfall that one will definitely not be on my tbr anymore 😂

*quietly removes when the moon hatched from my tbr* thank you for your sacrifice 🤭 I know exactly what library you’re talking about, I went there once with my friend and there was a lady charging $20 to park in the parking garage and I couldn’t reverse 😭 traumatic

I was just talking to my husband about how much I wanted to read Malice. Now i see you reading and loving it, so i might need to take a trip to the bookstore 😂

I enjoyed hearing your thoughts on Priory. It was my first foray into high fantasy and I liked it alright, but I’m a sucker for dragons and I also liked the girl power that the Priory itself represents (the place, not the book). I will say I enjoyed A Day of Fallen Night, the prequel to Priory, more. All new characters in that one, too. With all of that being said, I’m going to start my foray into Sanderson and several other fantasy books/series that you and Katie have raved about. I’m so excited for those since there’s clearly better things out there!

When I read the priory I refered back to the list in the back with all the names and the history, that really helped I lot. I really liked that book but day of fallen night was even better!

you sneaky little B-roller you 😂 also still laughing about you leaving your phone everywhere

I own Priory but haven't read it yet, it sounds to me like I should approach it expecting a story about fantasy religions more than characters or a plot.

When the moon hatched had potential but failed

I only ever got like 100 pages into Priory I just couldn’t get into it 😢

I love seeing your map drawings they are all so amazing. I love that this one is based off of Ireland. The names of the places though made me laugh knowing what they actually mean!

liking the ranting about shit books haha x i was gonna get priory wont now thou x 🎉🎉

I prefer bone season of Samantha Shannon instead of the priority of orange tree .I really liked the writing style and the plot of hers😅 if you guys want to start Samantha's ,😊you should start with bones season first instead of going with priory
