The nod is there. 00:17:34.228 --> 00:17:39.018 I just love it, and it's really well written, and I feel like the details are really good. 00:17:39.298 --> 00:17:41.508 You know, it's not Some ridiculous smut scene. 00:17:41.528 --> 00:17:46.288 It actually seems like super realistic of not that I know, but what two guys would be doing here at the one time. 00:17:46.288 --> 00:17:48.518 That was one of the questions I was going to ask is. 00:17:48.518 --> 00:17:57.528 I feel like if I were reading a fanfic about books already written, books specifically for me, it takes me out if the style is different. 00:17:58.038 --> 00:18:04.978 If I can definitely tell that even if it's well written, if it's a totally different feeling, I feel like that would take me out. 00:18:05.018 --> 00:18:07.028 Do you ever experience that when you start reading? 00:18:07.038 --> 00:18:09.268 You're like, oh, this just doesn't feel like it fits. 00:18:09.807 --> 00:18:13.817 Just focused on just extra content that you don't even it doesn't cross your 00:18:14.032 --> 00:18:15.522 I think it could be both ways. 00:18:15.573 --> 00:18:17.083 I really like to focus on the character. 00:18:17.083 --> 00:18:26.843 So if it's something super out of character that might make me pause when I'm like, but a lot of times it's like retellings or it'll be like an AU, which means alternate universe. 00:18:26.853 --> 00:18:32.248 So it could be Make sense with that character in that universe, in that place kind of thing. 00:18:32.248 --> 00:18:34.488 But I feel like this one really was well written. 00:18:34.488 --> 00:18:35.958 It's not exactly Sarah's style. 00:18:35.958 --> 00:18:37.907 I mean, Sarah's got a unique kind of way of writing. 00:18:38.307 --> 00:18:41.768 But it's super well written and it does feel like it flowed really well. 00:18:41.778 --> 00:18:42.347 I really liked it. 00:18:42.347 --> 00:18:43.718 I was like kicking my little feet reading it. 00:18:43.718 --> 00:18:43.988 I'm like, 00:18:44.087 --> 00:18:44.518 oh, good. 00:18:44.518 --> 00:18:44.847 Okay. 00:18:44.887 --> 00:18:45.678 I'm excited to check it out. 00:18:45.958 --> 00:18:50.968 Because today I did try to find one to read just to kind of get in the groove. 00:18:51.857 --> 00:18:53.897 And it was a From Blood and Ash one. 00:18:54.567 --> 00:18:55.107 Oh, okay. 00:18:55.167 --> 00:19:05.942 And I just couldn't fully commit to it, and I think maybe it's because It's such a distinct story that I like read. 00:19:05.972 --> 00:19:09.103 I mean, is it the greatest work of literature ever? 00:19:09.563 --> 00:19:12.232 No, but it's, I don't know. 00:19:12.272 --> 00:19:13.712 It's enjoyable to me. 00:19:13.722 --> 00:19:15.663 I know it's a love or hate series. 00:19:15.712 --> 00:19:16.792 It was like a threesome. 00:19:16.803 --> 00:19:22.173 But to me, it was just like too, it just didn't seem true enough to the characters. 00:19:22.282 --> 00:19:23.452 Maybe that's what it was. 00:19:23.472 --> 00:19:25.143 And the way they talked felt different. 00:19:25.292 --> 00:19:27.153 But need to give try other ones, I think. 00:19:27.653 --> 00:19:33.222 Or maybe say Look for ones that you you're talking about, where it's kind of like an alternate universe type thing. 00:19:33.222 --> 00:19:38.333 I know it is hard, especially like I suggested to you, you know, Zodiac Academy, but you love Zodiac Academy. 00:19:38.333 --> 00:19:42.442 So I think if you read something that you didn't like, you would absolutely despise it and hate it. 00:19:43.202 --> 00:19:44.242 I, you know. 00:19:44.593 --> 00:19:50.133 Because I've read so much of that author's work, too, that

anything in another voice almost 00:19:50.682 --> 00:19:52.103 And I can understand that's, I get it. 00:19:52.202 --> 00:19:57.353 I just love certain characters reading other things about them, it's so fun. 00:19:57.353 --> 00:20:02.413 I love Legolas, and I love imagining Legolas with another elf, or another character we know. 00:20:02.432 --> 00:20:06.563 But there's this short story I read, and it's Legolas and Gimli falling in love. 00:20:06.603 --> 00:20:07.972 And I'm like, aww, right? 00:20:08.192 --> 00:20:09.772 And that was different, but I loved it 00:20:09.772 --> 00:20:10.942 love that. 00:20:11.218 --> 00:20:13.137 Cause they were like the ultimate enemies to lovers. 00:20:14.222 --> 00:20:16.393 Yes!
