For the Garth Nix question. Go Sabriel, and the Abhorsen trilogy (later installments have been solid, but the OG trilogy is fantastic). I’d also recommend his Keys to the Kingdom series if you want some great middle grade/YA fantasy with some unique worldbuilding. Shade’s Children is a great YA dystopian novel, A Confusion of Princes is a fun YA space opera, the 7th Tower series is a fun “dying earth” type story for kids, and the Booksellers series is pretty fun from what I’ve heard, haven’t read it yet. I’d recommend avoiding anything he cowrote with I think Williams(?) as they were just too juvenile to be enjoyed beyond that age bracket. Strong rec for Abhorsen/Sabriel and Keys to the Kingdom though.
PLEASE, you, and EVERYONE, if you haven't already, embrace the One True Only God YHWH Jehovah, Only One Jesus Christ His Only Begotten Son and Lord and Savior of our souls and the Only One Holy Spirit. God is good. God is love. Jesus is Lord. Jesus IS coming. Your soul depends on it! I have seen God act in my life. He saved my soul, changed my heart, changed my mind, helped people through me, took care of people in my life, people I hurt before I found God. God is the only reason I was able to reconcile with my dad before he died. God worked through Jesus Christ to save our souls. Jesus Christ died on the cross for our sins. Believe in your heart and confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus, and that God raised Him from the dead and you will be saved. Be baptized in The Holy Spirit, and if He wills, water as well. Repent of your sins, accept God, Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit into your heart, that Jesus Christ died on the cross for your sins. For God so loved the world that He gave His only Begotten Son Jesus Christ, that all who believe on Him should not perish but have everlasting life. Jesus Christ is The Way, The Truth and The Life. No one comes to the Father Jehovah God but through Him. Not long after I got saved I prayed to God for help understanding the Holy Bible, and that same day someone knocked on my door asking me if I wanted to understand the Bible. The Holy Bible says, "love thy enemy", "turn the other cheek", "If your enemy is hungry, feed him", "if he is thirsty, give him a drink", "pray for those who persecute you", "do not repay evil for evil". LORD willing, all humans may commit sin of almost every kind (gay, straight), and that's wrong, and all humans sin, as God tells us through the The Holy Bible, "for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and all are justified freely by His grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus." The Holy Bible also says, "If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness."
I just want to say that I’ve always distrusted gravity ever since it colluded with that meteor to kill the dinosaurs. Glad to see another truth seer come on board.
When I saw Ian McKellen trending, my heart stopped. Like when Loewe's did a black and white shot of Maggie Smith and we all said they should have added a logo or something to make it clear it was a promotional ad because our hearts can't take it
To be brutally fair the guy is ancient and he's had a pretty charmed life all things considered, even compared to most in his own country, let alone the nastier places to live in.
Rhythm of War was a hard read. Brilliant, but... exhausting on all levels. The depiction of depression was... right, and intense. I have a feeling book 5 is going to be even more intense.
Remember that it’s not just artworks that are being scraped. It’s everything you post. Your photography, selfies, family photos, your pets, your handwriting, the inside of your house, your tattoos.
Hardcore D&D and Magic player here. It’s almost impressive the way WOTC/Hasbro has squandered community goodwill in the last two years. It’s really hard to make Games Workshop look kind, transparent, and reasonable by comparison, but they’ve almost done it.
During your covering of Cara, you say "glaze" as if its some weird or unknown thing. Just here to say Glaze is a software that started development not long after AI image generators started becoming more widely used. I couldnt tell you how it works, but you run an image through Glaze and it messes the pixels of the image up just enough to confuse AI, without ruining the image. So if you have an image of a dog thats been glazed, supposedly if an AI image generator tried to use it, it wouldnt recognize a dog pattern in it. From what i hear, Cara is providing the ability to run Glaze over your images that you upload to Cara, i havent used it yet so i cant speak to how that works. Hope that helps!
building on this comment, that Glaze is built by University of Chicago GenAI researchers so it definitely gives a boost of confidence for Cara that they're partnering with Cara to provide Glaze plugin somehow
Cannot wait for Wind and Truth. And glad Magneto is still kicking. A small part in me wishes he and Sir Patrick Steward would make one more X-Men movie together. lol
Unlikely. It was Bryan Singer that brought them together, and it took Singer to bring them back for Days Of Future Past. Of course now it's Singer who is the past, so I doubt that will ever happen again. Certainly not at the glacial pace Disney has been introducing X Men.
I'm and artist and I joined Cara! It is such a nice space, very positive so far, and I forgot how much I love just seeing art and not all the other crap that instagram is pushing. Hopefully they can entice non artists to join too and sort out monetisation so it can stick around :)
Cara is absolutely refreshing. As a junior and freelancer new to the scene, its definitely frustrating that the responsibility of protecting our art, so far, is placed on us the individual. Its a weight def felt by all my art friends and colleagues. Hopefully legislation catches up soon.
Battle is not between artists and ai. Its between artists and greedy business people who want to deploy ai. The rise of ai is inevitable but its not skynet. In discussions about this we all need to remember there is a human finger on a button launching the art scraping ai tool.
Sabriel, yes, start there. And it can be read as a standalone. If you like it, I recommend books 2 and 3 to get more of the world, but just know there's a main character swap from Sabriel to Lirael (just see the title of the books) as well as a 19(?) year time jump.
So excited for Wind and Truth! Can't wait to see Michael Whelan's artwork on it. Also, thank you so much for the kind and constructive criticism of The Green Bone Saga TBB, Daniel! It was certainly a bold and risky choice to do this combination. The result is polarizing, to say the least. It is not something we will try often in the future. But we'll brainstorm harder next time, and I do hope the final physical copy will look better than the mockup!
Sabriel was the first fantasy book I ever read & the book that sparked my love of literature. The Abhorsen trilogy is a quick read, but extremely rich in context & I often found myself putting the books down just to think about the concepts being presented. I think I'm going to read it again now✨️ I

Go Sabriel!!!!!!!!! I absolutely adore Nix's Old Kindgom series, and have reread them several times. I would love to see you read them (at least the original trilogy) and review them here. 🖤🖤🖤
I highly reccommend the Abhorsen trilogy [Sabriel, Lirael, and Abhorsen] as the perfect place to start with Garth Nix! They're some of my favourite books.
Stormlight Archives is actually a rare case where I much prefer the US covers to the UK ones. Though of course both are still excellent, but stylistically the US artwork speaks to me more - reminds me of some of the og wheel of time covers I love so much. Being in Australia, we kind of get a good mix of US and UK covers though - so we get to take our pick.
I recently got off the Broken Binding waitlist and will be getting those books as my first set with them. I too like all the art individually but am unsure how it will look as a full piece. But at the same time I don't mind TOO much because I was never a huge fan of the original Greenbone Saga covers either so still a win in my mind. My favourite edition of those books so far is still probably the Illumicrate Hardcovers.
Sabriel is such a great book. I know it's more YA but it holds a special place for me. I've read it around 8 times. Tim Curry does the audio books which is fantastic
Sabriel is a great stand alone that became a great series, if you feel me. Going into it, just expect that each one builds on the one before. I don't think these were planned din the beginning is what I'm saying. But i reread them every few years
A. Yes. Show up as Hobb. B. That shirt is dope. C. I started D&D back in 2E so I’ve gotten used to all the changes. They’re routine. D. Every 2 eps for HotD would be sweet. Thanks, Daniel!
Curse you for mentioning that edition of Neuromancer! I'm still here holding out hope that someday some publisher will release an English edition with the Portuguese cover, but a Folio edition is certainly intriguing as well.
Daniel I love that orange shirt. Any chance you can let me know what brand it is and/or where something similar can be found? My reverse image searches have proven fruitless so far.
Yes, please read Sabriel first if you're going to try out Garth Nix! I read it in eighth grade when it came out (gah I'm old) and that was the series that got me seriously interested in reading fantasy as a kid. Absolutely worth the time
Regarding Garth Nix, Sabriel is definitely the correct entry point. The Abhorsen series is awesome! Edit: Also the audiobooks are narrated by Tim Curry and it is glorious!
HeyDaniel, I was wondering if when Stormlight 5 was released, if you would be doing mini reviews like every couple or five chapters or so… Because waiting for an entire review after you read the entire book would not only be a huge review.... and she would be told it would be the last storm light review for like years, but would take a while to get… I thought it would be cool if we could almost have like a read along or book discussion as we are all reading it together
They didn’t call it Missing Link because that’s already the name of a well known mod for Ocarina. In contrast with New Line naming their movie Hunt for Gollum despite it being the name of a VERY well known fan film already and really watering down their overall searchability…
Sabriel for sure, but his Keys of the Kingdom series is also stellar, the imagination frequently so beyond what you expect you can't believe a human is capable of such feats!
"Well, I like tattoos." *Pulls up her business blazer to show a FULL SLEEVE* On behalf of educators everywhere who are tired of the saintly-stick-in-the-mud stereotype, THANK YOU!
Go Sabriel, 100%! The first book is solid, but you get a new protagonist for the second and third books, and she, Lirael, is one of my fave protagonists ever.
I love Garth Nix one of my favorite Australian authors. I would argue that you can start with either Sabriel, Left-handed booksellers of London or Angel Mage. For younger readers I would suggest the Leviathan books as a start point over the Keys to the Kingdom.
I'm conflicted on gravity. On one hand I credit it for lots of things I like: sunshine, life, the moon. On the other hand, it's a real dick to people, rockets and specifically Ian McKellen.
Regarding Metroid Prime 4, it was in development for so long in part because Nintendo was trying to make it in-house, but the quality wasn't satisfactory, so they scrapped the project and brought Retro Studios (makers of the original MP games) back in to take over the project. This version of MP4 would've been in production since around 2021 or so (I forget when the announcement was exactly). Also, personally, I was fine with how the gameplay felt because it was in line with the rest of the series, at least for the power beam. It'll be after you unlock the bigger, badder beams that you'll get more feedback from big explosions on the Super Missile, shattering enemies with the Ice Beam or turning them into smoldering husks with the Plasma Beam.
I just more meant if I'm playing a shooter I want it to be FAST with super dynamic movement and I expected them to show off bringing metroid into the modern shooter by taking full advantage of the ball and all that. Like Titan Fall movement with Metroid's abilities. Again, early trailer so I could be super off base here but I hope that's more clear.
@@DanielGreeneReviews If that's what you want in a shooter, then it's not going to be for you. The Prime series in general has slower gunplay, and that's a design philosophy when they initially created the series and is what they are promising now. I suggest watching the older Prime games for what it's generally going to be like, and what they are aiming for again. They aren't trying to bring Metroid into modern shooter era, they are just continuing the Prime series like what people wanted
@@DanielGreeneReviews Oh, I see. While the 2D games (Samus Returns and Dread) have gotten faster and more dynamic, the Prime series has never been terribly fast, but MP3, MP Trilogy, and MP Remastered from last year make up for it with motion controls. In other words, you're probably getting the right feeling for the pacing from this trailer, and it might just be that it's not the right kind of shooter for you. I'd hate to add more to your TBR/TBP, but if you get the chance to try the Remaster, it'll give you a good feel for what 4's probably going to be like.
@@DanielGreeneReviews Part of the issue here might be thinking Metroid Primes are shooter games... The games are Action-Adventures with a heavy emphasis on exploring, puzzles, and platforming. The protag has an arm cannon yes but that's more of a tool then the main point. They could have made the game more shooter like but that would be moving away from what the Metroid Prime fans love about the game. The exploration and puzzle solving is a huge part of the games... once you unlock weapons and revisit areas to uncover things you missed (Metroidvania style after all) you will often run through or skip enemies you have battled before because you know the tricks or have unlocked ways of byassing battles. Also given the development hell this game has already been through I am sure Nintendo has given direction for the game company to make it super safe and be as close as possible with some improvements to the style and game play of the original trilogy to give the fan community what they have been pleading for for years. Its almost been 20 years since the last instalment of a Metroid Prime game after all.
I'd like for you to cover HotD in pairs. I think there's gonna be a lot to unpack and just a general season review might not be able to do justice to the show. I'm gonna be watching either way tho, keep it up, Daniel ♥
Great episode! I think the UK covers are great, but I prefer the US ones! That Link game does look fun for sure, but I'm pumped sbout the Elden Ring DLC. Thanks for keeping us in the loop!
Gravitys been canceled. I love dalinar. I have the us hardcovers of stormlight and uk covers of everything else but the dust jackets are long gone (thanks to my cats) and now they sit nakey on my shelves
I'm sorry I haven't watched any of your videos in a long while. I think the last one I saw was when you had just moved and had stacks of books behind you. That being said, your shelf looks beautiful. I do miss seeing how many books you have but the ones on display in the video of are beautiful to look at. Like goblin's horde stolen from a dragon.

Some people do not even live to 85 and he is doing stage combat
I fully expect that if I even reach 85, my hip will shatter if the wind changes abruptly.
That just means more 85 year olds need to do stage combat.

Thankfully that Sir Ian is okay & still with us but sadly we did lose Donald Sutherland🙏
Been staring at the Stormlight cover for a few minutes now and I'm certain the book's gonna make me cry at least once
bracing for the impact of dalinars inevitable death
Rhythm of War was a hard read. Brilliant, but... exhausting on all levels. The depiction of depression was... right, and intense. I have a feeling book 5 is going to be even more intense.
I'm going to cry so many times. I will not be okay in December
Agreed. I am getting married in September, and I have prepared my fiancé with how December will be a hard month for me. hahahaha
@@kalshal4ever987 Congrats on your upcoming marriage!! December will be the time to put it to the test
Ok Sanderson HAS TO be doing this on purpose now 😂 it might’ve been coincidence before but now hes definitely just evilly chuckling
That horizons lady revealing a hidden full sleeve tattoo was badass lol

Start with Sabriel on audiobook. You’re gonna love Tim Curry playing a mischievous talking cat 😂
Sabriel, yes, start there. And it can be read as a standalone. If you like it, I recommend books 2 and 3 to get more of the world, but just know there's a main character swap from Sabriel to Lirael (just see the title of the books) as well as a 19(?) year time jump.
Completely agree. And then stop after book 3. The rest are so significantly worse
And definitely listen to the audio, Tim Curry does an amazing job, he makes a great story magnificent!
I NEED STORMLIGHT 5 AND I NEED IT NOWWW

Daniel taking things to a whole another level trying not to judge a cover by it's cover! That's the level of unbiased journalism we get!
❤️ love
I would start with Sabriel. Great book.
My dad picking up any of my Stormlight Archive books, "Are you sure this is only one book?" 😂
Link is a Paladin, and depending on what game he is in, he gains another subclass
Zelda is a divine soul sorcerer who can use wisdom for her casting
Loved the interview with Horizons! Would love to see relationships with non-profits like this more often
Why do I have a feeling that the fourth book in that Garth Nix series is going to be something like the dexterous booksellers of Dublin.
A. Yes. Show up as Hobb.
B. That shirt is dope.
C. I started D&D back in 2E so I’ve gotten used to all the changes. They’re routine.
D. Every 2 eps for HotD would be sweet.
Thanks, Daniel!
Huge Garth Nix fan here! You should absolutely start with Sabriel, imo.
Garth Nix reading order! Start with Sabriel, then into Lirael, and Abhorsen after that.
I love Garth Nix, and I'm a huge fan of the Booksellers series BUT you should absolutely start with Sabriel, its brilliant!
Re. Garth Nix: Absolutely start with Sabriel. The Old Kingdom Trilogy is one of the greats of YA fantasy
I was not expecting the rep from Horizons to whip out a whole sleeve but that was awesome! Such worthy cause!
Find someone who looks at you like Miyazaki looks at poison swamps
Daniel, you will love Sabriel, I'm shocked you haven't read it already
When do we get the US cover reveal of Wind and Truth?
Curse you for mentioning that edition of Neuromancer! I'm still here holding out hope that someday some publisher will release an English edition with the Portuguese cover, but a Folio edition is certainly intriguing as well.

Dope news episode! Cool to hear you talking about Cara & the online artist community! 🙏🏻
Hold on... Link as a bard-ranger is a brilliant take! Also explains how he keeps getting all the girls. XD
Not the Stormlight Cover I'm waiting for but beautiful none the less
Dalinar is reading The Way of Kings, so technically yes!
Thanks for the news, Daniel! I'm 2/3 of the way through Words of Radiance right now, so I look forward to Wind and Truth being out soon! :)
Yes, please read Sabriel first if you're going to try out Garth Nix! I read it in eighth grade when it came out (gah I'm old) and that was the series that got me seriously interested in reading fantasy as a kid. Absolutely worth the time
I literally saw Sir Ian as Sir Falstaff in the show a few weeks before his accident. He was amazing, and I'm glad to hear he's back on his feet.
The way that lady pulled up her sleeve to reveal a sleeve was amaaazing ❤❤❤
I'm just excited about reading Brandon Sanderson book!! 😀 thank you for the update...... its nice seeing ur videoes always!!
Will you continue to read Robin Hobb books?
God, that Neromancer art!
you are a blessing man thx
That Fount of Creation cover is exactly what I want for my cover. I'm so glad I saw that because it shows me that it's actually possible
Regarding Garth Nix, Sabriel is definitely the correct entry point. The Abhorsen series is awesome!
Edit: Also the audiobooks are narrated by Tim Curry and it is glorious!

We are wrapping our Cosmere catch-up by heading out to Dragonsteel as well. Hope to bump into you.
I adore Robin Hobb. You guys going are so lucky!
Definitely start with Sabriel!
They didn’t call it Missing Link because that’s already the name of a well known mod for Ocarina. In contrast with New Line naming their movie Hunt for Gollum despite it being the name of a VERY well known fan film already and really watering down their overall searchability…
Cosmere UK covers for sure!
I'm so hyped for the Stormlight book :D
Also really glad Sir Ian McKellen is ok
When i was a kid, i read the Keys to the Kingdom series by Garth Nix, and it was friggin awesome. Imo, it still holds up.
Elden ring and fantasy news?! My days already looking up ☀️
Go with Sabriel first. I loved it so much.
Daniel, I’ll be at Dragonsteel too! I hope I bump into you amongst the 10,000 people that will be there. Would love to make your acquaintance again.
The Daughter's War just came out! I'm part way through and very much enjoying it. I believe the audiobook releases this weekend.
Sabriel for sure, but his Keys of the Kingdom series is also stellar, the imagination frequently so beyond what you expect you can't believe a human is capable of such feats!
Some people slow down when they reach their 80's, but Sir Ian McKellen is in a play doing sword fighting. Way to go, Ian!
I like your color correction and lighting.

Start Sabriel. Get the Audio Book for an amazing performance by Tim Curry. My preferred way to consume the Abhorsen trilogy.
I'm conflicted on gravity. On one hand I credit it for lots of things I like: sunshine, life, the moon. On the other hand, it's a real dick to people, rockets and specifically Ian McKellen.
Regarding Metroid Prime 4, it was in development for so long in part because Nintendo was trying to make it in-house, but the quality wasn't satisfactory, so they scrapped the project and brought Retro Studios (makers of the original MP games) back in to take over the project. This version of MP4 would've been in production since around 2021 or so (I forget when the announcement was exactly).
Also, personally, I was fine with how the gameplay felt because it was in line with the rest of the series, at least for the power beam. It'll be after you unlock the bigger, badder beams that you'll get more feedback from big explosions on the Super Missile, shattering enemies with the Ice Beam or turning them into smoldering husks with the Plasma Beam.
I just more meant if I'm playing a shooter I want it to be FAST with super dynamic movement and I expected them to show off bringing metroid into the modern shooter by taking full advantage of the ball and all that. Like Titan Fall movement with Metroid's abilities. Again, early trailer so I could be super off base here but I hope that's more clear.
@@DanielGreeneReviews If that's what you want in a shooter, then it's not going to be for you. The Prime series in general has slower gunplay, and that's a design philosophy when they initially created the series and is what they are promising now. I suggest watching the older Prime games for what it's generally going to be like, and what they are aiming for again. They aren't trying to bring Metroid into modern shooter era, they are just continuing the Prime series like what people wanted
@@DanielGreeneReviews Oh, I see. While the 2D games (Samus Returns and Dread) have gotten faster and more dynamic, the Prime series has never been terribly fast, but MP3, MP Trilogy, and MP Remastered from last year make up for it with motion controls.
In other words, you're probably getting the right feeling for the pacing from this trailer, and it might just be that it's not the right kind of shooter for you. I'd hate to add more to your TBR/TBP, but if you get the chance to try the Remaster, it'll give you a good feel for what 4's probably going to be like.
@@DanielGreeneReviews Part of the issue here might be thinking Metroid Primes are shooter games... The games are Action-Adventures with a heavy emphasis on exploring, puzzles, and platforming. The protag has an arm cannon yes but that's more of a tool then the main point. They could have made the game more shooter like but that would be moving away from what the Metroid Prime fans love about the game. The exploration and puzzle solving is a huge part of the games... once you unlock weapons and revisit areas to uncover things you missed (Metroidvania style after all) you will often run through or skip enemies you have battled before because you know the tricks or have unlocked ways of byassing battles.
Also given the development hell this game has already been through I am sure Nintendo has given direction for the game company to make it super safe and be as close as possible with some improvements to the style and game play of the original trilogy to give the fan community what they have been pleading for for years. Its almost been 20 years since the last instalment of a Metroid Prime game after all.
I'd like for you to cover HotD in pairs. I think there's gonna be a lot to unpack and just a general season review might not be able to do justice to the show. I'm gonna be watching either way tho, keep it up, Daniel ♥
If you're going to get into Nix I suggest you start with the first book of his "Garrett Files" series: "Sweet Silver Blues".
Now I want to go play Time Splitters
Great tiedye Daniel! Seeing people in tiedye always makes me happy (most of my tshirts are tiedye, so I wear it a lot)
I saw cover reveal and I was hoping it was the US. But I agree with the Green Bone covers, I like the edges but I’m torn if I should skip or not
Great episode! I think the UK covers are great, but I prefer the US ones! That Link game does look fun for sure, but I'm pumped sbout the Elden Ring DLC. Thanks for keeping us in the loop!
I think the only Garth Nix books I’ve ever read were the Keys to the Kingdom series when I was a kid
Start with Sabriel re Garth Nix. You're in for a treat.
Please review The Wandering Inn, I think you would really like it
As good as Sabrial was the Garth Nix book I prefer is actually 'A Confusion of Princes'
Link is a Bard/Ranger except that one game where he was a cowboy/werewolf
nice natural light in the goblin cave in the morning :)
Daniel I love the orange polo you were wearing! Where did you get it from? :O
Gravitys been canceled. I love dalinar. I have the us hardcovers of stormlight and uk covers of everything else but the dust jackets are long gone (thanks to my cats) and now they sit nakey on my shelves
I'm sorry I haven't watched any of your videos in a long while. I think the last one I saw was when you had just moved and had stacks of books behind you. That being said, your shelf looks beautiful. I do miss seeing how many books you have but the ones on display in the video of are beautiful to look at. Like goblin's horde stolen from a dragon.
