    Welcome back! We're discussing all three books by TH-camr Daniel Greene. ‪@DanielGreeneReviews‬ This is a DEEP dive into the worldbuilding, plotlines, and character work across two series, to help you decide if you want to read them.
    We'll look at the two Lawful Times novellas, a dark fantasy series. And the Neon Ghost novel, a cyberpunk dystopian. We'll celebrate the strengths of the books, and analyse the weaknesses in an honest but kind manner.
    Listen to the full audiobooks of the Lawful Times novellas:

    This was really well done. Daniel Greene was my first BookTuber and was my favortie for a long time (newest favorite being you). If it was not for him I would not have gotten back into reading I don't think. But I have also read his books and would have to agree with your points. I think there is a lot of potential in his worlds but this is him starting to ride his bike without the training wheels. I remember watching a video where he does state that he released the Breach of Peace novella first to get experience under his belt and shake off the jitters. I love that you always critique with respect and decorum. Keep up the amazing work dude! Can't wait to read your books.

    Same, I don't like the phrase "brutally honest" or the like. Yes, the true can and sometimes will hurt, but there's no need to go out of your way to be cruel about it.

      I think its just called that to empathize that if you have something to say, say it and donr have false uuh what if i hurt you concerns, why the brutally etragated to not hold back (through there is no reason to be cruel, just be state what you have to say)

    You managed to make the reviews interesting with your personality and take without trashing on another’s work for views sake and I appreciate that! It’s very refreshing! ❤

    ey man, ty for the review. Because Mr Goblin here is really popular, finding honest reviews is really difficult. He has a lot of fans, so, the majority of the reviews are kind and not critical. I was thinking about reading Neon Ghost, but you convince me otherwise. And that's ok!

      @camologeek thank you! I found so many reviews that were all positive, or all negative, depending on what they thought of him. So few actually talked about the books!
      And yes, it's OK if you don't read Neon Ghosts. Not every book is for every person.

    Excellent review(s)! I read the lawful times books and enjoyed them well enough that I bought Neon Ghosts. The criticism of Lawful Times is fair and constructive in nature.

    Thank you for another great video.
    Your understanding of what entails a great novel just raises my excitement factor for your own forthcoming books. Really looking forward to reading them!

    A great video. A really fantastic way to give an honest review without being a jerk about it.

    I agree it's far better to have some people guess the twist than to fail to foreshadow it. Most of the time, people LOVE being proven right. and for those who didn't see it, it's important that they can look back and see the evidence that it was coming.

    And now his Neon Ghost will be rewritten because he won an official publication contract also with that his 4th book is under writing as we know from his video with strong reviews of the publisher.

    You made valid points. I dont see this as being mean more like i believe in you but you still have so much to learn.

    2:25 I don't think you can accurately label ACOTAR or Fourth Wing as "Young Adult," as they're both full of explicit language and sex, the target audience being adult women

    he's ok, he's still just starting out. He's not bad just new and needs more craftsmanship and that comes with time.
