Ooh the Empire Trilogy is a personal fav. That collab was a special brand of writing magic. There is a spoiler somewhere in it for something that happens in Magician: Master. But if delaying reading it keeps you from reading it soon, just dive in asap. I also love both Powder Mage, Dandelion Dynasty, and Empire of the Wolf! I've made it a goal to restart Dragonbone Chair to be in sync with the Broken Binding releases. I have to justify those purchases haha.
@@TheObsessiveBookseller I’ll make sure to read the Magician books first, it will slow me down a little, but hopefully not too much. I’m so jealous! Those Memory, Sorrow and Thorn editions are stunning! I’m super excited to get into the series though
Dude I just finished up the book that wouldn’t burn.. it’s so good man! Halfway through things started clicking for me and I’m so excited for the rest of the trilogy!
Thank you for turning me onto Andy Peloquin I've purchased the Dragonblood Assassin series. I'm currently reading Wraith by John Gwynne. When I finish it I'm going to start the Lot Lands trilogy by Jonathan French a grimdark series about half-man/half-orc beings. Next will be the Raven's Mark trilogy by Ed McDonald and then the Manifest Delusions trilogy by Michael R. Fletcher. I'm really looking forward to all of them, so much fun. By the time I finish these series I will have purchased the Queen of Thieves trilogy. Keep up the good work and i'll keep watching even if I don't agree with you on some things.
@@michaelravvennous4183 I’m glad to hear I’ve added some books to your tbr! Looks like you’ve got plenty of great reads coming up. Thanks for watching!
Tbr is looking great! The Green Bone Saga is on my physical tbr and I can't wait to get to it. Also, your description of Philip Chase as a writer got me very excited - the shire meets elves?! The book club picks look incredible too! I must say, Between Two Fires sounds incredible - maybe even suited to Halloween season with the horror aspect! The Janny Wurts covers are beautiful.
@@library_of_a_silversaint The Greenbone books sound so great right! Phillip has the most pleasant channel on TH-cam for sure. I think the picks are too good, I can’t decide between them 😅
The Green Bone Saga was amazing. Lee's so talented that when I read a couple of other authors immediately after, I noticed JUST how much better she was within a couple of pages. I hope she has a long and successful career.
Sweeeet I'm looking to check out the darkness that comes before plus a couple others from your list too. And just finished Empire of the Vampire, immediate top 5 nice call!
I really hope Between Two Fires wins out for next month!. The book that wouldn't burn has me intrigued as well. I still need to get to Green Bone Saga.
@@haromaster6086 it is slow moving but imo it’s better for its pace. It’s like stepping into a living breathing world and experiencing the daily life for the first few hundred pages. By the end though all I wanted to do was read the next book immediately. I don’t often care for slow books but idk, the Dragonbone chair really worked for me
The Daughter of the Empire trilogy is fantastic, but I highly recommend reading Magician and related books first since there are crossovers and references that won't make sense otherwise. As a big fan of Raymond Feist, his books were my introduction to fantasy. Magician may feel a bit dated and has some familiar tropes, but stick with it-it's worth it. Pug is one of the best fantasy characters out there.
This is such an excellent tbr. It has some of my favorites like green bone, empire, prince of nothing! The only ones I haven't read is the elan trilogy, library trilogy (I don't really like mark Lawrence books) and the demon princes.
I thought Justice of Kings and the series was pretty good, but I was definitely hoping for more horror and more scary parts. It was a bit creepier than Casper lol. Adding the second apocalypse to my TBR. Thanks!
I read Those Across the River by Buehlman over the summer and thought it was okay (horror is my main genre) but have heard Between Two Fires is tenfold better. It would be a great October read for Halloween and to get into the horror vibes. Don't know if you read too much horror to begin with? The Black Company is so dope. I just finished reading the 3rd book, The White Rose and it gets wild haha. Just be prepared that the first book is a little rough and the series itself is very to the point written, you won't get very much flowery descriptions of things but I encourage you to stick through.
I think I'd be down more for between two fires only because it's a stand alone. If we read promise of blood, I'm gonna have to keep going and read book 2 and 3. It's all on my shelf haha. Ohhh. Darkness that comes before sounds interesting! I'm always down to read some dark fantasy! I've heard the Dandelion dynasty is pretty amazing, that's something I definitely want to get to someday. I'd really like to read some more like...horror fantasy. I don't think that's done all that often. Jade City is definitely on my TBR it sounds very interesting and some of the best books out there. As someone who's read Black Company, I'd say it's a solid read. There are a couple of books that feel a bit of a grind but still a good read. I really enjoyed the series as a whole and I shed real tears at the end which has never happened. 🤷♂️.
@@Dugrath A Standalone does sound quite pleasant at the moment aye, but Promise of Blood is also very tempting as well as the other two, I’m still not sure which I’ll vote for 😅 Second Apocalypse sounds like an elite level series, definitely a high brain power read I think though. I feel the same, more horror would be great. We’lol have to keep eachother up to date when we start Jade City eventually 😅
I have between two fires on my October TBR-but I may have to jump into we are the dead if it wins 😬 I’m currently into book one of Way of Edan and I’m loving it so far. It’s a mix between comfortable and uncomfortable (in a good way). Library trilogy is definitely on my list. I love mark lawrences writing but haven’t went back to his books so (bye for now) BFN’in the Thorns trilogy. I didn’t intentionally leave it, it just fell behind for me. I really wanna read the second apocalypse. That’s so far up my list just pressing against empire trilogy and my current Malazan read through.
@@Chance.Dillon You’ll definitely have to jump in the read with us! I’m so hyped for Way of Edan based off your current thoughts! The Second Apocalypse hype is so high right now, definitely need to make time for it aye
I suppose my recommendation for you that i haven't seen others mention would be Daniel Abraham's Long Price Quartet. A four book series in an East Asian inspired setting that spans multiple decades, like, our protagonists are in their late teens / early twenties in Book 1 and in their 60s by Book 4 and the affects the actions of these two men will have on the world around them. Each book has its own self-contained plot and kinda plays up the genre a little: Book 1 - Coming of Age Book 2 - Mystery, etc Unless you absolutely dislike Book One, I recommend at least getting as far as trying Book 2. Its a Top 10 Fantasy Series of all-time for me. Like, it would ranked as 6th favourite or somewhere around there. If it was just completed series then its considerably higher.
@@thatsci-firogue You’re not going to believe it, but as soon as I posted this video I went and watched John from Talking Story’s video on the same topic, he mentioned this one and I was immediately so disappointed I’d forgot to put it on my list. It’s definitely on the priority reads list!
Just finished Jade Legacy and I’m so sad and actually grieving that it is over I will truly miss this world and characters..my priority series this year is to be caught up with Stormlight by December so I can read book 5 when it comes out.also Sun Eater is the other series I want to read more.Howling Dark is next one up on the list after I read Words Of Radiance.
Interesting video concept. It's taken me a bit to put my list together but here is my top 10 that I'm most excited to start. I tried to keep it to authors I hadn't read anything from yet but a couple of authors I've read have other series I'm really looking forward to so they are on here too. 10. The Witcher by Sapkowski 9. Under the Northern Sky by Carew 8. The Demon Cycle by Brett 7. Guy Gavriel Kay (mostly stand alones not series) 6. Wars of Light & Shadow by Wurts 5. The Bloodsworn by Gwynne (already read his Faithful & the Fallen series and it's sequel) 4. Novels of the Malazan Empire by Esslemont (already read the main Malazan series by Erikson) 3. Prince of Nothing/Aspect Emperor by Bakker 2. Book of the Ancestor/Book of the Ice by Lawrence (already read his Broken Empire/Red Queen's War series) 1. Riyria universe by Sullivan
Great list! I haven't read any of them personally, but like you, I've heard great things about them all! Here's my top 5: 1. Bound and the Broken 2. First Law Trilogy 3. Greenbone Saga 4. Stephen King Multiverse 5. Dagger and Coin Once I finish Liveship, Tawny Man Trilogy will also be here!
@@SpacedOutReads I'll be reading Cahill in October and then Abercrombie in November! Super excited for both, especially since that's also around the time I'm planning to join the 2toRamble Patreon, so I'll have more people to talk to. I think the entirety of First Law is going to become my 2nd favorite fantasy series ever, just behind Elderlings, and I think The Bound and the Broken is going to make my top 5!
@@Talking_Story John, a team up would be great! My TBR is yours to take over 🫡 I’ll make sure to read the Magician books first, thanks for the heads up!
I really need to read "Jade city" apparently "the green bone saga" is great. I need to read the black company as well. I have so many books and manga to read that quite frankly I doubt I'll be able to read all of them.
I've since finished Memory, Sorrow & Thorn. I'd a lot of fun. I standby that it feels like a mix of Hobb and GRRM though I should preface, of the 3 Williams is the weakest character writer but they're by no means bad. I became very endeared to a lot of that cast. It is very much reads like a rough blueprint for ASOIAF at times but still very enjoyable in its own right.
@@thatsci-firogue Love to hear all three held up! Make sense, that the others have stronger characters as they are both elite in that category. I’ll be on it early next year
Of the ones I've read: Dandelion Dynasty - I've one book left, its superb! Especially Wall of Storms!!! Second Apocalypse - One of my all-time favourites, Prince of Nothing feels like if GRRM wrote Frank Herbert's Dune and Aspect-Emperor if Cormac McCarthy wrote LotR... Its a fleshed out and deep, bleak world with amazing lore, incredible characters and deeply moving themes. Memory Sorrow & Thorn - Loved Dragonbone Chair, and really need to continue. Williams like a mix of GRRM and Hobb. Black Company - Read the first three and just didn't do it for me. Cook's character work and narrative voice is strong but I couldn't have cared less about the story he's telling.
All sound like or are good series - having read three out of the nine: Firstly, the first book of the Library Trilogy which was simply something else. Secondly, three quarters of Dandelion Dynasty, which is very good but somehow just leaves me feeling fairly cold and distant. And thirdly, the entire Second Apocalypse, with several good or really good books and two excellent ones - Judging Eye and especially White Luck Warrior - but unfortunately I really disliked the last one... Still recommend it. Also, I have read Powder Mage, which I liked a lot. Have also read the continuation, i.e. Gods of Blood and Powder, which I found to be very enjoyable. Missing from your list, and thus my recommendation to you, are two series by Daniel Abraham: The Dagger and the Coin and Long Price Quartet. Both are such excellent series.
