    Ash and Sand trilogy was so good. My favourite read of 2023!

      It’s such a good book. When Ruka interpreters the wall for the first time and figured out all the history, I fell in love with the book. I want to do a dedicated review for it.

    I've read Travelers Gate Trilogy and Michael Fletcher before. For Dune i have watched it but have not touched the books yet.
    Your reviews on the other books make them sound interesting. But you always have a way of doing that with your videos!

    Love your videos. Always gives me great options to add to the TBR. Will certainly add Richard Nell and Crooks to the list now. All the others I have read and loved so we have pretty similar tastes which has me excited to read the authors I haven’t picked up yet

    I love your calm and clear illustration and explanation of these books. Brian sounds like a great author. I haven't read any of them, but I love listening to you discuss them. Plus great animation, edit, lovely Epic Talez background, nice dread. Ah, my eye won't see something and not talk? Yoruba will say, "Bojubari enu adake" Well, I couldn't hold back, but I think you are adding some weight. lol

    Will Wight's books are indeed amazing, but he has issues with his endings in all his novels. He always leaves me feeling let down. Dune series is probably incredible, but I'm really not a fan of such slow starters. Perhaps I'll give it another shot sometime in the future.

      Working through Chapterhouse: Dune right now. I will definitely pick it up in 2025. I'm a bit of a Grimdark head, so I was familiar with the books you mentioned. But I always try to keep an eye out of what's next. I've seen you've been busy working on your channel, Epic. Outside of Slowly Red, you're probably one of the only channels that cover Grimdark exclusively.
      I wish you nothing but the best in 2025.

    Well, thank you my man. Some are definitely going to the basket. (If not all) And yes Dune is that book ! And Frank is that guy ! (But I will advice to stop after hunters of dune and worms of dune by his son. The rest kind of undermines what cane before.)

    • @EpicTalez
      @EpicTalez  24 วันที่ผ่านมา +1

      I have been advised multiple times to not read the ones his son wrote. I won't. I'll take it too personal if I hate what he did to the story.
