This video is great, but the background music is a little distracting. Thanks for the great videos. Cheers. 😊

Abel we have talked about you wrecking my TBR! I think I added a dozen books to it this time! 😅 And shout out to Fonda Lee and Greenbone Saga. You should read it. Very much looking forward to The Crimson Fire!!! 🔥

Love the new intro!!

Got it. On my tbr 😁 the first one :p

Best of luck!

Sign me up for an ARC Abel!

👏👏 Fantastic job talking about all these incredible upcoming books, Abel. This was a huge project you did. Well done. Crimson Fire has a great sounding blurb. Looking forward to May.

Gooosh, 2025 is gonna be an epic (but terrible) year for the TBR!! So many of these sound so intriguing, I can't wait to dive into them. And congrats again on your own upcoming book release, you know I will be first in line when you have ARCs!! 🤩🤩

Thank you so much for featuring me, Abel! Your review of book one has stuck with me! The beginning of book two owes a lot to you 😊 Cheers, my friend 🙏

Congratulations on your book!!!

Thanks for the shouts Abel, and also, cannot wait for Crimson Fire. It sounds like it’s right up my alley!

Awesome! Thank you so much for the mention, Abel! Yeah, it'll take a while before the cover is out. It's a weird one, but I'll reveal it to you as soon as I have it :D So many great books. It's gonna be a great year!

So happy for you Abel! The blurb sounds sick. Looking forward to seeing the cover. ;)

What a year ahead! Thanks for including The Black Mantle, Abel!

Wow! Quite a lot of books to look out for in 2025. I was hoping you’d mention the second book by Gourav Mohanty coming out in February. His first book Sons of Darkness is one of my favorite books of 2024 and the sequel is called Dance of Shadows. Check it out. You won’t be disappointed!

Haha, you'll get Divinity's Twilight book 3 in 2025 . . . or you can pull a George R.R. Martin and put me in prison till I finish. 😜 Should have that cover for you to show off in 3-4 months.

Im also so stoked to hear you have your own book!!!!!!!!!! I can’t wait to give it a read whenever. Also-I too love the word crimson and the color red 😂😂😂

2025's looking exciting! Thanks for including ANIMUS PARADOX in this, Abel!

Great video!! Thank you for including The Divide That Binds Us 😊

Nice reveal, The Crimson Fire sounds really interesting 🔥! And thank you for the inclusion. (I’ll make sure to give you a sneak peek at the cover, the artist is starting work on it soon)

Thank you for including The Forgotten Dawn! Esmay is the ultimate hype girl!

Thank you so much for including Ruins of a Shattered Dawn, Abel!!

Anyone that cuts a video on top Space Opera that fails to put E.E. Smith's Lensmen series at the top is a poseur. Smith _invented_ Space Opera, and NO ONE has done it better than him (try as some might, with Yoshiki Tanaka being the best one going with _Legend of the Galactic Heroes)_ even with the advantages of being feature films, long-running prestige television, comic adaptations by master comic authors and artists, audio dramas, etc. Because Smith, in the Lensman series, _invented the modern day Combat Information Center_ used by modern navies worldwide. No successor has any anything like that level of influence.

Another awesome and informative video! Thank you 👍😊

House of Suns is awesome.

I'm excited to see what you think about The Envoys of War and The Ranger!

Can confirm that Baptiste Pinson Wu and Dave Lawson have written some incredibly fun and engaging stories, I think you will have a blast with those! And ooooh I am so intrigued by The City of Mist and Tears by Alex Robins, the buzzwords are buzzing! 👀 Loved your review of Athyzia, and completely agree with everything you said. The emotional disconnect at the start was also the biggest hurdle for me, but I really enjoyed how it all came together in the end and I loved how it set up the sequel in such an unexpected but intriguing way! Hope you continue to enjoy Heliotrope, that is such a masterfully crafted slow-burn story 🤩 Can't wait for your 2025 SFF indie releases bonanza hahah. My good friend Laura A. Blake (also here on booktube) is publishing her debut The Forgotten Dawn on June 5th, which you should 100% add to the list! I have witnessed the story develop from the very first page, and it's been incredible. One of my new favourite fantasy romances that perfectly balances the two genres. Cover reveal is December 3rd btw, keep your eyes peeled!! Also, major congrats again on the translation job with The Way of Edan, I am so so so excited for you and couldn't be more proud of you 😍 All the love, Abel! 🥰

Yessss!!!

I may have missed it but do you mention which books are Self Pub and which are traditional?

Woot thanks for giving a shout out to The Envoys of War! I bought it on release. I just need time to read.

These books all sound exciting, Abel! Thank you for bringing them to our attention. Among others, I'm especially interested in picking up Palmer Pickering's Heliotrope someday. And, of course, I couldn't be more excited by the fact that you are doing the Italian translation of The Way of Edan!

I have heard of a lot of these except Night Owls which sounds really good

Thank you for the wonderful review. I really enjoyed hearing your perspective, very thoughtful and fair. I am happy you enjoyed it.

You've been a busy reader, my friend. Thanks for the video! :)

So glad you're enjoying Heliotrope! 🙂 It's a standalone (for the foreseeable future), but there is plenty of room for more stories in this world.

Thank you very much for the shoutout! A heads up, Platinum is getting a rerelease February with heavy rewrites, another phase of editing, and a dust cover,so I would recommend holding off until then 🫡

Thanks for including Envoys in your list! I’m looking forward to reading more from Tim Wolff. Loved his novella Whisper that Replaced God. Heliotrope is one of my favorite books of the year! Teleo is amazing and so is the magic system!

❤

E H Bradley is my real name and Eamonn Bradley is too, I'll be using that for my new book which is suspenseful horror and I've just finished the second draft.

Thank you!

Came by way of Ted Read Instead, so hello from a fellow You Tuber in New Zealand. Subbed, and I look forward to getting to know your content. Best, Mark.

I just came from Twitter.👋😊❤

Thank you so much for giving my humble series a try 😊

I bought Ludik and the Runaway Mountain on day one just from the cover. Jeff Brown artwork + a gryphon is pretty much always an insta-buy from me.

Wonderful video, and I was so honored to be included! The ones I'm most interested to try out are The Binding Tenets, Tanna the Tendersword, and The Council of Athyzia. Had my eye on that last one for a good minute.

Okay you have totally sold me on Shards of Earth! I have been meaning to read more Tchaikovsky, so this is gonna jump to the top of the priority list :))) Also can't wait to read Tanna for judge duties soon, I need to know what type of magic is in that book that makes everyone just fall in love with it hahah. And you're not in your middle grade years anymore? Would NEVER have guessed 😂 I am gonna read By Blood By Salt this month as well, so fingers crossed it's as good as Jay has hyped it up to be! Can't wait to hear your final thoughts on The Council of Athyzia, that one really crept up on me and I loved it by the end. Eager for the next one! 🤩 Thanks for the entertainment again, hope you are doing well 🥰

Thanks for the mention of Stone & Sky bro! I’m excited for you to get to Stone & Tide!
