Wonderful haul, Petrik! I love seeing all these beautiful editions 🤩 And I’m so happy you finally got your SE Dragon Mage copy - it’s truly gorgeous 🐉✨ and now definitely one of my most prized possessions 😄
I started a few books in June. The best one by far is The Will of the Many. Still reading. Golly, it's so very, very good. Vis is awesome. If he dies in the end I'll smash my Kindle Scribe with a baseball bat and never, ever read again. For two days. Thank you.
Oh man what a haul - I’m a bit jealous on the Gentlemen Bastards specials, but luckily I don’t have to pine after the deluxe Dragon Mage since I got one for myself! That’s the coolest book I own now!
Great haul as always! I finished Soul Cage a few weeks ago and definitely grew into it. It's an interesting premise. The battle scenes are like some fantasy version of green lantern comics and were a lot of fun visualising. I'm almost done with Riven Earth book 1 by Zammar Ahmer and think I might try Seeds of War by Joao F Silva next given it's been sat in my TBR for months now. I'm also just waiting for Robs J Hayes new trilogy hardbacks to arrive as I was a backer. That's definitely going to keep me going probably to the end of August, certainly if Gunmetal Gods special edition arrives too.
I am currently reading Knife of Sorrows and loving it! That cover is also sooooo good! And heck yes for Soul Cage, I think that might be a 5-star for you honestly! Also can't wait to hear your thoughts on Foul Days and Children of Gods and Fighting Men, hope they are hits for you! Happy reading ;)
Wow what an incredible haul. There is no way I could keep up your pace of books. Where are you going to put everything? so many beautiful copies. I just got my copy of The Failures, looking forward to it.
Thank you so much, Frank! Honestly, I don't know how to keep up with these, too. I have given up on catching up to my TBR pile... The Failures is great, though!
Nice haul, Petrik! I love when you show the insides of your special editions- thanks. I'm really looking forward to The Mercy of Gods! I'm over halfway through The Expanse- really enjoying it. Recently purchased Abraham's Dagger and Coin series- looking forward to trying that too.
Amazing!! I lost count on the many books i liked! Primal fury looks coool. The fall of gients wins favoret cover. Dragon mage!! Dang wish i had this edition. I reeeely liked suficiently advanced magic, its a chame is not a stand alone, but temting. I hope foul days has a special edition, then il concider it. Falures looks awsome to i loooove blame!. Take care patrick. Thank you for charing your love for books. It helps us a lot.😊
I just love seeing all your books!!! I don’t have space for any physical books (although I did order a signed copy of Empire of Silence thanks you to and sharing the link). So I just adore seeing all your special editions 🤍✨
LOVE that edition of Sufficiently Advanced Magic! I hope you get to Weapons & Wielders as I find that spin-off prequel even better than Arcane Ascension. What a book haul!! I'm really glad that you are receiving some beautiful editions when you are directly involved in directing artwork for editions that all of us will enjoy coming soon!
Thank you so much, Brian! I cannot wait to see the books I worked with in physical format. None of them have arrived yet. I did read Weapons & Wielders! Just the first book, though. But I really enjoyed it! :D
Great haul! That dragon mage book looks amazing, I saw the KS for that but couldn't justify dropping $$ for a book I don't know i'll like, so i'll just admire it from my screen. I feel like special edition books from things like kickstarter and those from book subs shouldn't be in the same category. i got a bunch of TBB books to see what it's all about and i was slightly disappointed to find that they're just the standard editions, but with foiled boards and sprayed edges (still not a big fan of sprayed edges). i've got it in my head that smyth sewn binding should be the minimum for "special edition" books. idk if sub only books would be better tho. meanwhile, the books i got from KS/backerkit are amazing.
Thank you so much! The way I see it, there has always been multiple levels of special editions. Many Kickstarter campaigned books, such as Wraithmarked's, are on a level above Broken Binding. Broken Binding does have their own press of high-end special edition in the form of The Broken Binding Press, though.
Pretty awesome collection man. I think that Dragon Mage special edition might be the coolest spec ed I've seen on here to date. Actually, nevermind, I just remembered Wraithmarked's Sword of Kaigen. Make that second best 🤣
Thank you so much! Haha, The Sword of Kaigen is something special. Wraithmarked's recent publication, Legends and Lattes, will most likely top it, though! :D
I saw Goodreads reviews that said if you dont know about Irish history or Gaelic lore you might not like The Children of Gods and Fighting Men. I think that is a silly thought process. Most fantasy series could be described as an author's fictional mythology or an author's fictional history and lore. I read The Sons of Darkness with that thought process. I told myself not to view it as Indian mythology or a retelling of the mahabharata (because I knew nothing about it going in); I simply read it like it was any other fantasy book, a fictional world, fictional ppl with a fictional magic system. This worked for me at least. So I recommend not getting caught up the odd/unfamiliar names and simply read it as any other fantasy book.
Oh absolutely! That's a really thought process. I mean, it would be so restrictive if certain knowledge are required first to enjoy a particular historical fiction or fantasy series! :D
I simply stare at all your books in the background. I have been looking for the hardcover copy of The Sword of Kaigen, and I haven't found it anywhere.
Wonderful haul, Petrik! I love seeing all these beautiful editions 🤩 And I’m so happy you finally got your SE Dragon Mage copy - it’s truly gorgeous 🐉✨ and now definitely one of my most prized possessions 😄
Thank you so much, Karin!! Yeah, Dragon Mage turned out beautifully. I'm glad you got a copy, too! :)

The Will of the Many is AMAZING. Lol at that for two days, though. I applaud your determination! xD
That sprayed edge on Dragon Mage blew my mind 😳 I didn't know that was possible either!
Right!?? Mindblowing! 😂
Ta-da!!! Another amazing haul, Petrik! ❤ I'm so envious. 😅
Thank you so much!! ❤

That Sufficiently Advanced Magic edition is stunning 🤯
I think so too! 😍

Thank you so much, Esmay! I'm reading Mask of Mirrors right now. But I look forward to reading Foul Days and Children of Gods and Fighting Men!
@@PetrikLeo Oooh I hope you are enjoying it!! 🤞
That Dragon Mage SE is soooo pretty 😍😍
Awesome haul Petrik!
Thank you so much, Zammar! I agree about Dragon Mage!! :)
@PetrikLeo do we have an official name for what the guilded edges did with that one?
@@RikusonOne I think it's called hidden foreedge painting!

@@PetrikLeo I've just watched Sanderson's last update and I am blown away.🙏
I just love seeing all your books!!! I don’t have space for any physical books (although I did order a signed copy of Empire of Silence thanks you to and sharing the link). So I just adore seeing all your special editions 🤍✨
Thank you so much, Ashley! I'm already running out of space too tbh. I definitely have cut back on buying books 😅

@@allthekingsbooks the foreedge painting is crazyyy 😄
Bear Town is very good. The sequels less so. Better to read it as a standalone I think.
I see! Thanks for letting me know! 😄

@@PetrikLeo I liked Sword of Kaigen far more than Legends and Lattes, so doubt even the spec ed treatment would get me to care about it much, ha.
Pretty, pretty books!
@@StoryGirl1128 thank you!! 😄
I read How to Become Dark Lord and Die Trying through June. What a bonkers story. Lots of fun and insanity with shades of Deadpool filtering through.
Hahaha! Good to know. At least I know what to expect when I start it! 😄
Wow. That Dragon Mage sprayed edges with trainsition imaging is amazing. So crazy what they can do nowadays...
I know right!? I didn't even know this is possible!
Hidden fore edges have been around for centuries. You can actually find them in many antique books!
You can hear the premium quality of the Dragon Mage when it comes out of the slipcase... just saying.
@@gixar hahaha true! 😂
I have the Wraithmarked Edition of Legends & Lattes already. It is really, really pretty.
You got it already!? I'm envious! I saw a picture of it online, and i think it's about to really become Wraithmarked's best production so far!
@@PetrikLeo I live in Europe and I think they fulfilled orders here first. But it is worth the wait!

Yeah, this edition is sold out now! Wraithmarked will release a new edition of Sword of Kaigen this year though. I think...
Put in a pre-order for Curious King's Legend, and picked up Absolute Superman and Batman & Robin's Adventures.
Legend by Curious King looks FANTASTIC!! Can't wait to see it in person! :)
@@PetrikLeo Same, all 3 editions look superb !
Seeing that u read manga . Do u happen to also have a list of lit rpg books u read .
I need to come up with the list but I don't right now!!
I love hardcover special editions but my wallet does not
I agree so much with that! :')
Peeeetrik

The antithesis of not judging a book by its cover
This fixation with covers is a disservice to the prose and authors
Not a disservice when the books are great as well. Bonus point.
Artemis is extremely forgettable. As stated, easily Weir's worst novel.
I heard that a lot about this book! :')
Always like book haul videos!! How’s your reading coming along??? 🎥🗞️
@@safinan8008 i have finished only one book this month. Thankfully, it's an awesome book!
Where is the Pillars of the Earth review?
Posting it this week! :)
