Thank you! You, too, Andra. Haha it's getting closer to the end of the year. I think we're all trying to read as much as we can before the new year is here. 😅
I finished Morning Star not long ago and have been burning through The Prince of Nothing series by Scott Bakker. Thanks for providing consistently good background noise for when I cook breakfast, Petrik! I dedicate this breakfast sausage to you
You're welcome, and thank you for the kind words! Sausage and egg is one of my favorite breakfast menus, so have it in my place! I need to read Prince of Nothing. That series has been in my TBR pile for years!
I wish I could be you right now and enjoy Lightbringer all over again! It's my favorite from the series, it fought with Morning Star for first place until it finally won by the end. Had everything I ever wanted, and hey, remember me when you see the words "clang clang clang!" Also was hoping to see Sun Eater on your list, it's in the background of your videos almost teasing me!
Ohhh, Morning Star was my favorite before Light Bringer. That bodes well! And yeah, I will remember clang clang clang! Hahah this is so exciting. I'm still waiting for my copy to arrive but once it does, I'm starting immediately! For Sun Eater, well, the plan is to finish Light Bringer first and then start Sun Eater. So assuming everything goes to plan, I will be reading Empire of Silence next month! :)
You have lots of big name authors to enjoy this month - it should be a good one. My August TBR: 6 Fantasy novels, 1 memoir - Wrath by John Gwynne (finishing up with Faithful and Fallen) - The Bone Shard War by Andrea Stewart (completing Drowning Empire) - An Echo of Things to Come by James Islington (Book 2, Lycanius trilogy) - Elantris by Brandon Sanderson - Legends and Lattes by Travis Baldree - Song of Susannah by Stephen King (Book 7/8, Gunslinger series) - Not my Father's Son by Alan Cumming I'm excited to be finishing up a couple epic fantasy series this month. I've especially been enjoying The Faithful and Fallen (after Malice, which I had some issues with).
Yeah, here's hoping August will be the best reading month for me. And hey, you have Wrath, An Echo of Things to Come, Legends and Lattes on your August TBR. That's awesome. I highly enjoyed them all. I haven't read Song of Susannah and Not My Father's Son, though. Good luck with your TBR this month! :)
@@PetrikLeo Esrahaddon was a really satisfying read...loved seeing his origin story, loved seeing more of the Ba Ran Ghazel, loved seeing why things and events were the way they were in Riyria Revelations. It just didn't have the heights of emotion that Farilane did, for me at least.
August TBR: Light Bringer (already started) The Bonehunters Before They Are Hanged Reapers Gale I think this is pretty ambitious considering how huge the 2 Malazan books are, so I may not get to Reapers Gale, but I do intend to read the first 3.
Started a reread of Red Rising last week in preparation for reading Light Bringer. Looking forward to hearing your thoughts on Esrahhadon, I couldn't put it down.
Enjoy your reread of Red Rising Saga. The series got better on reread, imo! For Esrahaddon, I'm waiting for the updated edition from Sullivan before I read it. I got the previous edition but Sullivan plenty of changes have been done to the book to polish it. I want to wait for the better edition. Should be soon, though! :)
I'm almost done with Light Bringer, and I think it's the best in the series so far! I had the opportunity to attend Pierce Brown's book signing in DC and told me that Red God is doing well and he already have couple of pages completed. Very cool dude!
Whoa!! That's amazing. I'm envious that you got to meet Pierce Brown hahaha. I look forward to reading the book this month. It is one of my most anticipated books of the year! :)
That is quite an amount of books and pages for August, good luck. I'm about half way through To Green Angel Tower, it's excellent. It is massive. Have to get back into Fonda Lee. Jen Williams, that sounds like a good one. The Skyward series is a enjoyable light YA. Fletcher has been on my TBR for some time, have to get to him also.
Thank you, Frank! I will do my best. I'm in the middle of reading To Green Angel Tower, too. I'm only 11% in, though. And yesss, can't wait to read Skyward and Jen Williams new fantasy book this month! :)
Good list. Good luck with To Green Angel Tower. It's pretty massive. Somehow, I completely skipped over the Manifest Delusions series, but it sounds interesting. I might have to check it out. My TBR for August: 1. Finish The Veiled Throne by Ken Liu 2. Finish Kill City Blues by Richard Kadrey 3. A Witch's Sin by Daniel Greene 4. Christine by Stephen King 5. Sins of the Mother by Rob J Hayes 6. Until the Last by Mike Shackle
It's so MASSIVE. I've started reading To Green Angel Tower just now. This will be interesting. Great TBR for August, too. I loved Veiled Throne and Until the Last! :)
I am having a moment this year. Finally reading Stormlight Archive and Red Rising so I’m LOVING all the 5 stars 🎉🎉. I’m currently reading Oathbringer then jumping into Morningstar 😅😅
To Green Angel Tower feels like the last four books of a seven book series. The scope is staggering. It feels a lot "bigger" than something like Rhythm of War, which is technically almost the same size. Fantastic fantastic book, but it can get exhausting for those reasons if you try to binge it. Though it'll be hard for anyone to not speed through those last 300 or so pages. 🙂
Oh wow, that is high praise! So pumped to start reading it, really. I just finished the first chapter and it's always good to be back reading Tad's prose. If I feel tired in the middle, I will slip in some other smaller books to read! :)
I was planning on waiting for Red God to reread Red Rising but then Light Bringer came out and the fomo kicked in, so I started my August off with a third read of Red Rising and by now I am already halfway through Golden Son... no regrets 🤣Hope Light Bringer is everything you are hoping it will be! Also very eager to hear your thoughts on Esrahaddon, I still need to start Rise and Fall, but I have a feeling it's gonna be a homerun for me! Happy reading friend ☺
Thank you, my friend! Yeah, the FOMO is unreal. As a fan of Red Rising Saga, it's stressing me out that my copy of Light Bringer isn't here yet. But once it's here, I will dive it ASAP! You will love the reread experience. Morning Star and Dark Age improved so much on reread! :)
@@PetrikLeo Will keep my fingers crossed for you that it arrives very soon! And I have never even read Dark Age yet, so I am suuuuper excited to see what all the buzz is about!!
"Talonsister" is a new favorite for me. I hope you will enjoy it as well. I want to read "Red Sister" from Mark Lawrence, try again "She Who Became the Sun" by Shelly Parker Chan and "Gods of the Wyrdwood" by R. J.Barker. Happy reading to you in August!
Thank you, Maria. I haven't read Gods of the Wyrdwood yet, but Red Sister and She Who Became the Sun are both incredible to me. I look forward to reading Talonsister! :)
My August TBR: -The Bone Ships Wake by R.J. Barker -Ghostwater by Will Wight -The Blacktongue Thief by Christopher Buehlman Reading for my job: -Influence by Robert B. Cialdini -Wildcheck -Built From Scratch
Can't wait to hear your thoughts on To Green Angel Tower. I'm currently three-quarters of the way through. Stone of Farewell, while still very good, was a bit of a step down from The Dragonbone Chair, but To Green Angel Tower is a return to the greatness of The Dragonbone Chair. Especially the second half.
Yeah, this book is MASSIVE. I'm going to start making a dent on it now. Glad you agree about Stone of Farewell. It's still great, but definitely a step down from The Dragonbone Chair. So wonderful to hear that Green Angel is a return to the greatness of Dragonbone Chair! :)
I personally love the Skyward Series. Randomly stumbled upon them, not knowing anything about it being considered YA, and listened to them as audiobooks. They made me interested in reading more Sanderson which led to me reading through the Cosmere right now. So it could be credited with revitalizing my love for reading novels after several years of mostly audiobooks and comics. And me hanging out on Booktube now 😁 I will start Sons of Darkness today or tomorrow (just finished Warbreaker) and after that I will choose something shorter and quicker and probably non-fantasy before finally getting to Words of Radiance. That will probably be all I can fit into this month. We'll see. I have The Combat Codes waiting, too, if I need more.
Oh wow! that's so awesome to hear. Skyward essentially revived your love for reading! I hope you will love Sons of Darkness, too. I really enjoyed that book, but it seems the book has been a bit mixed received! :D
That city from the Esrahaddon book cover reminds of Rhuidean (as I imagine to be); My August is Rainbow Six (vol. 2) by Tom Clancy, The Path of Daggers by Robert Jordan and I will star Plum Island by Nelson DeMille.
FYI to everyone, Humble Bundle has a Tad Williams bundle until the end of August that has basically every major book he's written in Kobo ebook form for $21 if you're on the fence. It covers all the way from his first cat fantasy Tailchaser's Song, including Memory Sorrow and Thorn, and even the last two Osten Ard books. Insane deal if you plan on jumping into the read. There's a few minor novels left out like Caliban's Hour but it covers a lot.
Hi there Petrik. How are you doing? Those books that you mentioned sound really good. As someone who has finished listening to all of the Wheel of Time series, I can tell you for sure that once you get to the three books that Brandon Sanderson wrote, you will find that the pacing is much better. I think that he ddi an amazing job with them, even if, according to him, they were hard to write. I am doing okay. Earlier last month, I finished listening to West With Giraffes, which was amazing. Also, about a week ago, I started listening to the Final Empire Mistborn, by Brandon Sanderson. This will be a re-read for me, but after I get done with the Well of Ascension, I will be on new material. I know I have no idea why I stopped listening to Mistborn era one after I got done with the Well of Ascension. All I can say, is that I got distracted by another book. I love his writing style. I am also still working on listening to Go Tell the Bees that i am Gone by Diana Gabaldon. Other than that, I may pick up either My Grandmother Told Me to tell You she is Sorry by Fredrik Bachman, When Crickets Cry by Charles Martin, or the Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches. All of these books were recommended to me on a Facebook 12 Books in a Year challenge. I do want to start working on the Skywrd series too. I look forward to hearing what you think about them. See ya.
I'm doing well!! Thank you for asking. I hope you're doing well, too. Thank you for the reassurance. Getting to Sanderson's books is my goal with The Wheel of Time series. Enjoy your reread of Sanderson's books and Go Tell the Bees that I am gone! :D
@@PetrikLeo I am, thanks. I will for sure.ni had forgotten just how good and organized Brandon Sanderson's writing is, and his characters are great too. Like you, I am hoping that I will be able to get to listening to the skyward series too. Also I have no idea when I'm going to be getting to this but I really do want to read the spyx family manga too. I will make sure to write a review about that for you later on.
I’m a complete mood reader so I never plan, but I’m currently reading: The Moonflower Murders by Anthony Horowitz A Light in the Flame by Jennifer L. Armentrout The Extremely Inconvenient Adventures of Bronte Meddlestone (audio), a middle grade by Jaclyn Moriarty
Talonsister sounds good by Jen Williams I have the willowing flame Trilogy on my bookshelf just haven't got around to it, this is a pretty cool list, I always watch your reviews cuz you read the books for me that I just can't seem to get through sometimes LOL I've started the red rising book one like five times it's good just something always happens and I end up reading something else so it never gets finished and I have no reason to not like it either the writings good the stories good just crazy circumstances LOL so I'm reading The Art of Prophecy by Wesley Chu if you love manga and anime and movies like Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon this is all those rolled into one and completely hilarious some of the banter between the characters is just outlandishly funny but it all works it's a Non-Stop read very interesting world and some of the coolest action scenes believable because of the magic oh and I forgot to mention cool magic system also either way man keep up the great videos
Thank you so much! Oh, I have Art of Prophecy! I'm keeping that in my TBR until next year when the third book comes out. And then I can read the three of them in a closer gap. Good to know you're enjoying the book! :D
As always, looking forward to your Tad Williams reviews/discussions and «Talonsister» intrigues me a lot, love me a good Griffin/Gryphon tale, and there a surprisingly few, especially when compared to Dragon tales 🐉! On my August TBR I have: «First Book of Lankhmar» (a «Fafhrd & the Grey Mouser» by Fritz Lieber Omnibus, so will spread these Classic S&S short stories inbetween the other books), the «Vindolandia» Trilogy by Adrian Goldsworthy (Historical Fiction, set along the Hadrian Wall), «The Tartar Steppe» by Dino Buzzati (Fiction with Kafkaesque features set along a border about to break into war, have the 70s movie adaptation: Gorgeous! Filmed on location at an actual ruined fortress in Iran, with soundtrack by Ennio Morricone!), «Count Belisarius» by Robert Graves (Historical Fiction, about the Byzantine General and Conqueror, often dubbed «The Last Roman»), and «The Last King of Lydia» & «The King and the Slave» by Tim Leach (Historical Fiction centered on Lydian King Croesus and the Persian Empire)!
Thank you so much! I will have a discussion on To Green Angel Tower for sure. And yesss, so exciting to read Talonsister by Jen Williams. That's a lot of books you have for your August TBR! Good luck!! :)
@@PetrikLeo To be fair, there are no real big «chunkers» in August for me, as virtually all are 400 or less pages, many even under 300! The Fafhrd & Grey Mouser Omnibus is an exception, but as an anthology, I will spread the short stories in between the other novels every few days! Thank you! 😉
Good luck with Path of Daggers. I liked it more than Crown of Swords but wouldn't say it is as good as the first 6 books. I recently finished the slog myself and I don't understand the hate for book 9 I thought it was great and would put it 4th on my rankings of Jordan's books behind books 2, 5, and 6. Book 10 deserves all the hate it gets though 😂
Hahaha thank you! Good to hear you enjoyed Path of Daggers and Winter's Heart more. Too bad about book 10 living up to all the negative reception, though... 😂
Path of Daggers is a lot shorter (in page count) than crown of swords. It took me months to get through CoS. I'll also be starting PoD this month and I'm encouraged on how much shorter it is lol.
I have no idea what I'm in the mood for this month as I'm starting a new job. I need to finish Legacy of Ash and tentatively want to get to The Goblin Emperor and The Dragon Republic.
Here's the books that I am going to read in August: The World According to Dragons (I am halfway through the books) Alichino Dragon's Kin Soulsmith The First King of Shannara Dreams of Distant Shores Bad Moon Rising
@PetrikLeo Hey Petrik, you probably would like The World According to Dragons. It's really good. The main character and his relationship with his dragon is very enjoyable to read. It's best book that I ever read so far. 😊
Understandable! I think it will be difficult to read the third book without rereading the first two books first if it has been a while since you read them!. :/
Skyward itself is really good, but the series kind of goes downhill after that imo especially in cytonic. I will say though that to me his writing style works extremely well for his YA books like this one and the steel heart books
Yeahhh I heard many mixed things about the sequels to Skyward. Cytonic in particular has been hailed as Sanderson's weakest book by many of his fans. xD
it seems that everyone's tbr for August is massive >...>...my own included! :)))) Hope you have a great reading month Petrik! :)
Thank you! You, too, Andra. Haha it's getting closer to the end of the year. I think we're all trying to read as much as we can before the new year is here. 😅

So excited about Jade Shards! I've got it but am saving it for a rainy day...
I've read it. It's SOOO GOOD. Especially for a collection of short stories, which I don't usually like. 😊
I'm about to start lightbringer too!!!
Happy reading, Dino!!!
I think Light Bringer will take your favorite Red Rising slot. Just got my review up it is awesome!
Hell yeah! Looking forward to it. Hail libertas!
@@PetrikLeo Hail Reaper!
Looking forward to your thoughts on Light Bringer! 😊
Me too! Can't wait! 😊
You have lots of big name authors to enjoy this month - it should be a good one.
My August TBR: 6 Fantasy novels, 1 memoir

Sister talons sounds grate. Also skyward is a grate book. 👍 i may buy yami- hara from your last vid.
I look forward to reading Talonsister and Yami-hara!
I really enjoyed Esrahaddon, but I think Farilane was better. Any novel that can make me sob wins!
Oh interesting! Let's see which one I like more. I will read it this month for sure!
@@PetrikLeo Esrahaddon was a really satisfying read...loved seeing his origin story, loved seeing more of the Ba Ran Ghazel, loved seeing why things and events were the way they were in Riyria Revelations. It just didn't have the heights of emotion that Farilane did, for me at least.
August TBR:
Light Bringer (already started)
The Bonehunters
Before They Are Hanged
Reapers Gale
I think this is pretty ambitious considering how huge the 2 Malazan books are, so I may not get to Reapers Gale, but I do intend to read the first 3.
That is so ambitious. Bonehunters and Reaper's Gale are HUGE. Good luck! 😁
Started a reread of Red Rising last week in preparation for reading Light Bringer. Looking forward to hearing your thoughts on Esrahhadon, I couldn't put it down.

Awesome. Good luck with your reading, Angela. Winter's Heart is a big one! :)

Filmed on location at an actual ruined fortress in Iran, with soundtrack by Ennio Morricone!), «Count Belisarius» by Robert Graves (Historical Fiction, about the Byzantine General and Conqueror, often dubbed «The Last Roman»), and «The Last King of Lydia» & «The King and the Slave» by Tim Leach (Historical Fiction centered on Lydian King Croesus and the Persian Empire)!
Thank you so much! I will have a discussion on To Green Angel Tower for sure. And yesss, so exciting to read Talonsister by Jen Williams. That's a lot of books you have for your August TBR! Good luck!! :)
@@PetrikLeo To be fair, there are no real big «chunkers» in August for me, as virtually all are 400 or less pages, many even under 300! The Fafhrd & Grey Mouser Omnibus is an exception, but as an anthology, I will spread the short stories in between the other novels every few days! Thank you! 😉
Good luck with Path of Daggers. I liked it more than Crown of Swords but wouldn't say it is as good as the first 6 books. I recently finished the slog myself and I don't understand the hate for book 9 I thought it was great and would put it 4th on my rankings of Jordan's books behind books 2, 5, and 6. Book 10 deserves all the hate it gets though 😂
Hahaha thank you! Good to hear you enjoyed Path of Daggers and Winter's Heart more. Too bad about book 10 living up to all the negative reception, though... 😂
Path of Daggers is a lot shorter (in page count) than crown of swords. It took me months to get through CoS. I'll also be starting PoD this month and I'm encouraged on how much shorter it is lol.
Knowing that Path of Daggers is a lot shorter is definitely helpful. A Crown of Swords took me a month. It was too long for its own good!
I have no idea what I'm in the mood for this month as I'm starting a new job. I need to finish Legacy of Ash and tentatively want to get to The Goblin Emperor and The Dragon Republic.
Good luck with your new job, my friend!! 😁😁 Take your time with reading and read at your own pace!
@@PetrikLeo Thank you :)
I really want to get my hands on Talonsister!!! Not sure when it will be available for purchase in the US.
Yeah, I saw that it's still not available in the US. I hope soon! :)
Here's the books that I am going to read in August:
The World According to Dragons (I am halfway through the books)
Alichino
Dragon's Kin
Soulsmith
The First King of Shannara
Dreams of Distant Shores
Bad Moon Rising
Nice. Good luck with your TBR this month! I've read only Soulsmith from your list. xD
@PetrikLeo Hey Petrik, you probably would like The World According to Dragons. It's really good. The main character and his relationship with his dragon is very enjoyable to read. It's best book that I ever read so far. 😊
I didnt enjoy The Mirrors Truth as much as the first, so im unclear if i will read book 3
Understandable! I think it will be difficult to read the third book without rereading the first two books first if it has been a while since you read them!. :/
Man, the green bone saga novellas are insanely expensive...
Oh it absolutely is. It is a limited edition after all, but I am too far gone with the series... The ebook is alright though on Amazon!
@@PetrikLeo I hate ebooks... Do you think there is any chance the 2 novellas ever get released with a reasonable price tag?
Skyward itself is really good, but the series kind of goes downhill after that imo especially in cytonic. I will say though that to me his writing style works extremely well for his YA books like this one and the steel heart books
Yeahhh I heard many mixed things about the sequels to Skyward. Cytonic in particular has been hailed as Sanderson's weakest book by many of his fans. xD
@@PetrikLeo it's just a filler book. And a filler book that arrives right in the middle of the action too so the worst kind
Hi 👋 enjoy ur reads… luving Tad Williams book series! 🎉 follow u on Twitter..
Thank you so much!
I ‘strongly dislike’ YA and still loved me some Sanderson and Doomslug
Same here, Alana. Hearing this from you is reassuring. Looking forward to meeting Doomslug. I have a sticker of him! :)
