I really respect how you speak about books you don't all the way enjoy. It's really a breath of fresh air to see someone not just dunk on something they didn't like and try to be objective and analytical about what IS good about it. You're the best man
The (lesser known) books that are still stuck in my head this year: The Gutter Prayer - Gareth Hanrahan Titanborn - Rhett C Bruno The Forever - Craig Robertson The Jigsaw Blade - Steve Collier Low Town - Daniel Polansky Devil's Desk - Mark Tufo The Fragment of Water - Ben Hale It''s been a fun year so far 🤓
lol this is me always for thumbnails, because most of what I read is audiobooks or library books. It's kind of fun trying to pick books off my shelf that I feel like look similar-ish to what I actually read :P
My favorite read of the year was probably assistant to the villain or a thousand pieces of you. I think you would like both of these even though a thousand pieces of toy is more YA!
I've just finished Legends and Lattes and really enjoyed it. I found myself becoming attached to the characters and family they built. I've got Bookshops and Bonedust on hold at the library and cannot wait to read 😊
You have convinced me to read How to Lose the Time War. 🙃 The prose sound a bit like Vandermeer's in the Southern Reach trilogy, which I just finished and loved.
I will never get enough of your DCC gushing 🤣Also, couldn't agree more on The Blood Stones, War Song, and In the Shadow of Their Dying. All such great indie reads! Hope Q2 will have some great things in store for you :)))
Exactly my take on Seven Swords !! Really fun and satisfying break from the doorstops I've been devouring. Maybe the sexual undertones of Firies were the Roman aspect? 😂😉 You need to try Mimic & Me. Jeff Hayes is one of the narrators 😉
I dnfd how you lose the time war more than halfway through. I tried so hard to enjoy it. I really didn’t like either pov, I didn’t like the story, I wasn’t invested in any part of this storyline, I tried so hard to like this book but it felt like trudging through quicksand
Yay, someone else is finally talking about Furies of Calderon, everyone talks about Dresden and completely ignore his other works. Your issue with the story is understandable, it is kinda sus lol
@@juliacash8135 Hope you enjoy both! He also has a Sky Pirate type series called the Aeronauts Windlass if you're interested in picking up more from him after reading the books you already got
13:27 will you wear wigs? ...maybe?! 🤷🏻♀️😂 #iykyk but I had to pause the video and watch the clip solely bc of one word Having to do research after every sentence of TIHYLTTW made me stop after the first 50pgs. I definitely was not smart enough to appreciate the cleverness without spending too much time asking Google's help😅
I have a question for you concerning a prelude novella to a trilogy. If I am new to an existing trilogy that has a prelude novella, do I start with the first book of the trilogy or do I read the prelude? I am looking forward to your Harbinger of Justice books. I do intend to your prelude novella when it comes out. Thank you.
It's a case by case basis but most authors write them in a way where you can start with either! In the case of mine, Silence is Silver, it can be read before or after Harbinger of Justice!
Will I be missing out on a lot to just read DCC? I don’t like audio books, I just personally can never take things in through audio and it goes straight out the other ear 😅

I'm glad as it will likely continue for some time haha! Thank you and likewise!
I'm currently on Book 5 of DCC and I agree....its SOOOOOOO good!
One thing I cut from the video was how many emotional moments are in books 5&6 too! They’re great
Exactly my take on Seven Swords !! Really fun and satisfying break from the doorstops I've been devouring.

You need to try Mimic & Me. Jeff Hayes is one of the narrators 😉
I’ve heard of Mimic and Me! I didn’t realise it was Jeff narrating so that’s straight on the tbr
@@the_fools_tale I think there are 4 narrators but he's his hilarious self 🤭

Not at all! The performance adds a lot but the story and characters are still terrific and well worth a physical read if you don't like audiobooks
