it's getting late and i need to shower BUT
i've been meaning to read
my child!! it's not even my child
i've been meaning to read the darkest legacy ever since i got it
which has been nearly a month
it's been a month since i got the darkest legacy
and i haven't started reading it like, who am i????
but anyway, i realized that
i've been kinda scared to read it just because i'm afraid i'll be disappointed
but i probably – i dunno. i just
have this fear and i deal with fear by avoiding it, and so
i've been avoiding reading the darkest legacy even though i've been
wanting to read it so badly and i decided to do a reading vlog
of my journey through this book. so right now
i'm forcing myself to read the first page – at least
because i know that after i read the first page
and after i read the first chapter, i actually will not be able to stop
i read more than a page
i didn't realize how emotional i would get, even though
it's so obvious. it's been seven pages
and i'm a wreck. SEND HELP.
i can't even continue because i'm just like
so. emo.
okay i'm going to finish this chapter
shower, then read another chapter, and go to sleep
let's see how true that'll be
wait i just need to stop to say
i feel so proud
to see how much zu has grown and changed
there's not even that much going on because
it's only been ten pages but i just
i scream
*screams* suzume going on her own journey
and the
OG black betty gang helping her
i have so many feelings
ohmygod
wait that wasn't even the real first chapter
OHMY GOD that was the prologue – i should have known
i should have known!! this happened in the darkest minds
like, the first chapter isn't the real first chapter; it's a prologue duh
i'm going to finish this book really quickly
although i want to savor it
i left my actual vlogging camera in the car
so i'm vlogging using my phone but
OH MY GOD
this is really good so far but like
I HAVE SO MANY FEELINGS
dude i'm doing this
literally like every single page
usually, i'm really worried about new characters coming in
for example, when i was reading never fade and they introduced
vida and nico and
i was like, "who are these two people i don't care about them i just want my –"
MY OG BLACK BETTY GANG
but then, now
i'm like, SO IN LOVE WITH THESE NEW CHARACTERS
in the darkest legacy, like
WOW alexandra bracken is SO GOOD at
writing characters that i'm obsessed with !!
this isn't happening this isn't happening this isn't happening this isn't happening this isn't happening
THIS ISN'T HAPPENING
oh my god, zu is vlogging!!
so crazy
it's page 425 and we have reached
the title drop!!!
whew i am getting reaaaaal excited
this is beautiful
i have this much left
i'm really tired and want to go to sleep but
it's really good and i'm really pumped
i am getting
so many stranger things vibes like
okay, i already saw
zu in eleven, when she was like tiny
and in the darkest minds and now in this book
i'm – i'm just getting so many stranger things vibes
SO MANY STRANGER THINGS VIBES. ugh it's so great
now i understand why i love stranger things so much
like i know it's hyped but yeah
you could probably tell i'm really tired
because my eyes are doing this thing where they can't like
open all the way properly and i keep like squinting
and i'm like sleeeeeeep
i feel like the climax is coming – the climax is coming!!
i'm genuinely so worried i feel like i should stop now
i literally just choked
oh my god it's so f–ing frustrating because i can't even say anything
i can't even be like – what is going on
because SPOILERS but
i'm gonna say it anyway because i'll just edit this out
or i'll like make it a blur or whatever but like
LIAM JUST APPEARED BACK
AND SUGYDFULHKJGGFDKSJLVC
i'm overwhelmed. someone hold me
my battery is dying :((
i feel like this is really embarrassing to put on the internet
now i'm reconsidering actually uploading
this reading vlog because i think
the whole thing is just me flailing
uncontrollably and getting very very emotional
i'm gonna scream. i'm gonna try my best not to scream.
i've missed my child
liam stewart
the most precious precious precious
character and southern male in the history of
precious southern males
dude this is the first time
ruby and liam have officially appeared in the book
even though it's technically a flashback to three years ago
but i'm still like
i have a lot of feelings okay, just a lot of things
the og black betty gang all together
i have chills
oh my god seeing zu grow into herself
i totally understand this so much more now
and i'm trying to be quiet because my mom was complaining
as you could tell
it's not even sad ???????????
just kidding it is really sad
I;M REALLY SAD
but like i knew this was happening !!
like i knew this would happen WHY AM I SAD
i just want them to be happy
is that really too much to ask? okay
i'm most likely going to finish this book today
yeah, i'm not going to sleep. i'm just going to finish this book
everybody in the original og black betty gang
plus vida plus zu's new gang
except for ruby ???
that was like a really weird math equation
they're all together and i hAvE a LoT oF fEeLinGs
and i'm really really tired oh my god
i missed vida so much !!!!
okay like i kinda thought
priyanka or priya was
kinda similar to vida in some like
little ways but now that vida is actually back
i'm like oh hell nah
vida is vida; priya is definitely priya like
once again we hate clancy
i can't believe at the end of in the afterlight
i actually kinda felt for him but i think that
it's just because ruby felt for him because
ruby is so pure
reading vlogs, i've concluded are very boring. nothing goes on
and there's a lot of footage of me staring
at a place that's not on screen
and not talking about what's going because i can't
cuz spOILERS. and also because the book isn't published
and if it's a book that i already really like
it's also probably really boring because i'm just
a broken clock – that's not the word
but i keep repeating myself – a broken something
a broken record. a broken clock??? what am i saying
i think i need to stop here
i'm on chapter 39
i have this much left which is actually like
around 70 pages
which would take me around an hour
i'm actually really really in love with this
i was really worried i wouldn't like
the darkest legacy because, like
i love the darkest minds so much
but this is actually so good
i'm feeling really tired which is why i sound like this
SO GOOD. it's mostly about the characters
and i feel like alex bracken did SUCH A GOOD JOB at
bring back the old characters and like
how they develop. like this is set five years after
the darkest minds but i still feel like
i can completely imagine
their life in between the five years
she does have some flashbacks
of what happened in between in the afterlight
and now, five years later, but like, i could totally
imagine all of them on their own little paths
and the whole story, like the whole thing is just like together
really really well and then the new conflicts and the new characters
also blend in so well
it's just done really really really really
really really well. and it feels like
the darkest minds book you always wanted but you never
thought you would actually really get
yeah that's my spiel with 70 pages left. i'm actually
speeding through it, surprisingly. or not so surprisingly?
i thought i would want to take my time
this book actually makes me want to read it
not because i like the darkest minds
and i want to read it because i'm excited for the book
now i'm trying not to be bias and i'm trying to actually be critical
if you really like the darkest minds already then
reading this would just make you really happy
i'm gonna peace out and i'll see you in a bit
my bed is a mess and i look kinda gross
i finished the darkest legacy
earlier today when i was on the car
it was honestly a dream come true
for any fans of
the darkest minds, in my opinion
it was just so good!!!
yeah it was just super duper satisfying and i'm
so happy!! i really should be leaning down like that
my arms are tired now
to me, i felt like the ending was
a bit abrupt? not really abrupt but i felt like
it could go on for a few more pages
and i wish it kinda did but i do like the way it ended
alex bracken always ends her books in kinda like an
open ending sort of way so you can kinda
imagine how the characters would
move on in their own lives in their own way
but then it also leaves room for her to potentially
write another book. and i did understand it ended like
a novel. and that was good but – I JUST WANTED MORE
i know we already got a lot of these characters
that's pretty much it. i'm trying to settle down
a little bit and not be so fangirl-y
about the darkest legacy because i feel like my
whole reading vlog was basically just me flailing
if you haven't read the darkest minds or
any books by alexandra bracken, you should get to it!!
i feel like
people who really like character-based books, very
much character-based books
relationship books, like friendship relationship books
would love love love the darkest minds
even if you're not a fan of dystopian
if you like fantasy or sci-fi or dystopian
or like anything that's not realistic but not necessarily dystopian
but you like character-based books, you should read the darkest minds
i give this disclaimer because one of my good friends
did not like the darkest minds and i'm pretty sure
it's just because she likes plot-based books
and i was like
you're not supposed to read this for the plot
it's about the CHARACTERS
and she was like, "i don't get the characters they're dumb"
and i was like, "we're not friends anymore
i'm kidding we're still friends i love her
that is all for today~~ i hope you enjoyed this reading vlog
it was really messy and i was mostly
reading in weird places? okay not weird places, but weird places
to vlog. they're normal places to read. it's just
like on my daily commute or like in my room
but room is like a mess okay so
it's been messy but hopefully
this will encourage you to read my fave
and if not, i'll be sad
thanks for watching & i'll see you next time. byeeeeeeee~
