Lol. People are mad at you for "acknowledging the potential" of sexism in a book so they demand for man come set you straight. Coincidence?

[GEORGIOARCADE]

Haha Tell Em Elliot! I'm so proud of you for standing up for yourself & I'm so honored to be around someone here who not only cares about the feelings of other people, but respects everyone's opinions on books without being rude & defensive. I love how you educate some of these trolls on what a book review purpose is. In fact what you said there could be applied to game & movie reviews. I know you mean well in your ❤ & you only want help us love & understand books better. I love some of your October picks. I couldn't read anything cuz I spent half of October Sick. So hopefully this holiday season I can do more reading 😊. Until next time, don't apologize for anything cuz you are being you & being real. Happy Reading & Bless Day to you & everyone here. Much Care~Georgio

There's nothing worse than people who can't accept when somebody criticises their favorite book. Asking Daniel to change your opinion is so ridiculous. I mean, what's the point of a review if you're not allowed to point out a book's (potential) flaws?
I wasn't a fan of the Black Prism. I actually didn't find it that sexist, probably because so many people said it is, so I expected it to be worse if that makes sense. I can definitely see why a lot of people think it is, though! I found it more...hm...childish, like something a 15 year old would find funny.

Still need to pick up Muse of Nightmares.

[DavidDecero]

Anytime I hear Fullmetal Alchemist I think of that one episode of "Brotherhood" with the dog and the little girl. That still has to one of the darkest episodes on any show, animated or not.

[BedtimeBookworm]

That stuff with Black Prism and involving Daniel was so ridiculous. Laia’s the worst?? Hahaha I can’t wait to read Reaper and see what that’s about lol. Aww yay you loved Muse! I can’t wait to read it - I should get to it this month, maybe early next month. You’ve got me more intrigued about Ash Princess!

[robbien]

Dont ever worry about people being mad about your reviews! I love that book but I really appreciate your review! It was honest and thorough, but you weren't unesisarily hateful! Keep doing what you do!
On a happier note! I feel the same about a reaper at the gates, it's fun but not amazing lol. I've been meaning to pick up strange the dreamer!

[transamlover]

I agree I am very proud of you for standing up for yourself to as well but I am interested in your most anticipated book for 2019 I know mine is peace in turmoil

[leah]

Good reading month(s)! Excited for Skyward and Shadow of the Fox!
I am really enjoying Dry! Like Scythe it has a lot of social commentary but feels more hyperbolic in that commentary where scythe was more subtle. I'm hoping to finish it soon!

[beLIEver]

You talked about Full Metal Alchemist a few months ago on your channel and so I gave them a try and I LOVE THEM!!! These are the first Mangas I've ever read and I just love the story and characters so much!! Thanks! :D

[safinan]

Hi sorry for the late replay and watching ur video late ... I always look forward watching ur books reviews.... oathbringer is so amazing!! Hi I’m so excited about skyward by Brandon Sanderson!! Happy reading to everyone and thank u to everyone make me feel part of ur YouTube friends!!

[sophiasthoughts]

Just started picking up manga/ graphic novels for the first time this year and I think I'm going to add full metal alchemist to my ever growing TBR. I think we have pretty similar book taste so, thanks for the recommendation!!

[SolotaireKid]

Jeez even book tube is not free of drama. For fucks sake people, these are books! Don't try and breed drama in a hobby like reading. Opinions. People are entitled to them.

Elliot you do you. I love both your and Daniel's channel. Just keep doing what you do best. Which is talk about books. Cheers!

[iLiviesimone]

Keep up your QUALITY AND WONDERFUL book reviews- it amazes me how closed and single minded people can be in the face of opinions or thoughts that differ from their own. It is just amazing.
I started FMA yesterday :D

[MaryAmongStories]

people can be pretty silly. keep doing amazing reviews as always 💜gosh I really wanna read Full Metal Alchemist!

[yapdog]

Great wrap-up, Elle. You're very easy to listen to :^)

[davids]

Not really related to this video, but I just started the way of Kings on my Kindle e-reader and Skyward with the physical book at the same time. I'm still not decided on whether that was a magnificent decision or potentially overwhelming decision. I guess we'll see haha

[agreatandterriblelibrary]

You are such a beautiful, intelligent, and well-versed Booktuber, Elliot. Don't let these small-minded and sensitive children get ya down. Personally, I read Black Prism and I quite liked it. Enough to keep reading the series. Not once did I ever think it was sexist. But that's just me. You can't say anything anymore without someone getting upset, so you keep making awesome videos, girl -- I always get so excited for them!

[demongoose]

Fullmetal Alchemist is absolutely amazing!

[heathersbooks]

I actually really loved The Black Prism. I didn’t pick up on the sexism when I read it, but Emily Fox’s review helped me see why some people would feel that way. Regardless, I appreciate hearing differing opinions on popular books.

[bookswithkatie]

I really need to watch Full Metal Alchemist!
