Caricanread recap videos

7 Upvotes

So, I’ve put myself in a dilemma where I thought The Last King of Faerie will be released weeks from now only for my calendar to remind me that it will be released less than 2 weeks from today. 💀

I was not planning on rereading TDA and was convinced I still remember what happened. Surprised, I didn’t. I remember bits of the main plot but a lot of the details, per usual, I’ve already forgotten. So now I thought what should I do? I don’t want to reread the whole TDA but at the same time I want a good recap/summary with as much details as possible.

I stopped watching cari a long time ago but I know that she does these recap videos of some popular books and she has one for TDA 1 and 2. I started her Lady Midnight video and I just want to share my appreciation for the effort of making one because wow. I am now realizing and experiencing how helpful these kinds of content are for someone who wants a good recap but don’t really want to do a full reread. I always thought they were pointless until I’m the one who needed them.
