Hi guys, how are you? Welcome to Fave Bookshelf. Today we are going to talk about Cersei which
0:04
is written by Madeleine Miller. So, I have seen many of my bookshelf friends reading and recommending this book Cersei on
0:19
Instagram. I decided to give it a try because also it was from a genre I wanted to explore
0:25
So, this is how I decided to read Cersei art with it
0:28
Do let us know if you have read Cersei and enjoyed it or even if not enjoyed it in the
0:33
comment section below. We would love to know them. So, in this video, I am going to tell you what I liked and didn't like about this book
0:40
Before that, let me tell you in brief what this book is about
0:44
So, this book is about the Greek mythological character Cersei which you can know from the title
0:52
It tells us how Cersei was born and how she develops as a character and grows into her
0:56
magical powers and basically it's all about Cersei. You'll find this book full of magic and
1:03
betrayal and drama and politics and you know everything. Now that you know all a bit about
1:11
the book let us jump to the review. Also don't forget to hit the subscribe button and also

For this review first I will tell you about the things I liked and then I will tell you about the things I wish could have been better So let start with the things I liked Let us start with the writing style The writing style of this book was very good I liked it
1:40
know it. I loved how Madeleine had written this book. My favorite thing about it was how descriptive
1:45
she was in the book. I was able to imagine all the scenes so easily and effortlessly
1:50
It was amazing. So the writing style of this book was really awesome and mind-blowing
1:55
now let's move on to the cover and the title i don't know if you are able to see this cover or
2:01
not but it is beautiful like it is just beautiful like oh my god beautiful like it is this black
2:12
matte paper with the orange gloss sheet or something and it's oh my god i just love it
2:19
and it is probably the most beautiful cover I've ever seen. And also the title source is also very apt and relatable to what is going inside the book
2:29
So I will definitely give both of them a thumbs up. Now let's move on to the starting and the ending of the book
2:37
Starting of the book and the ending of the book was very good. It was caught up in the story in just a few pages and the ending was also very smooth and not too abrupt
2:45
It didn't live like anything unsaid or like that. So, it gets another thumbs up
2:50
Now, let's move on to the parts which I didn't like or felt it would have been better
2:57
The first part which I didn't like about this book is its plot
3:01
The plot in the starting of the book was very good but as we moved further it was not that good There was not much suspense or you can say enthusiasm left for what is going to happen next I just decided to give this book down at one point but then I read so many great things about this book
3:18
and I thought that next time it will become more interesting and become more fun and then
3:24
but I guess it wasn't for me. And it took me nearly two weeks to finish this just 300 pages book
3:31
So overall, I didn't enjoy the plot much and I wish it could have been better
3:35
Now, let's move on to the character aspect of this book. Sadly, the character development in this book was not that good
3:42
Main character Cersei was just not that good or you can say not that inspiring
3:47
or bold as you think the main character should be. So there were too many side characters introduced and they just kept on coming and going
3:54
which can be very confusing for the reader. So overall, the character aspect was not that good
3:59
Now moving on to another aspect of a book, pace. Pace is nothing but at what speed the plot moves on and the pace in this book was a bit slow
4:10
If the pace had been just a bit fast, it definitely had got a thumbs up
4:14
Overall, the pace was mediocre. And now moving on to the last aspect of the book, world building
4:21
The world building in this book was not that good, not that bad. It is not that good because at some places like, I didn't get what was going on
4:29
was like something was missing but it was not that bad cause at some places it was like awesome
4:36
So the world building was mediocre Overall the points I liked and didn like in this book are The points I liked in this book are writing style starting and ending title and cover
4:52
The points I didn't like or I felt could have been better are world building, pace, characters
4:58
and plot. Overall, this book was a 2.5 star rate for me
5:03
Even though I didn't enjoy this book, I feel like the readers who enjoyed the song of Achilles
5:07
or Norse mythology can give this book a try. Also, I wondered which was your favorite book
5:12
from mythology genre. If you have any one, do let us know in the comment section below
