Why it worked

The creator shares a relatable sentiment about losing excitement for a series, which resonates with many readers. The honest, critical review of popular books, while still acknowledging their strengths, creates engagement and encourages discussion.

Summary

The creator discusses books from the A Court of Thorns and Roses series, expressing a lack of excitement for the later installments compared to the earlier ones. She then reviews "Threshing Day" and "The Lion and the Deathless Dark," finding the latter's main character compelling but the world-building difficult to grasp.
