My deepest thanks to you, Will, for reading Return to Edan, and I'm so glad you enjoyed it! There will be more to come as, late this year, I'm hoping to release While Darkness Gathers, a standalone sequel set about 15 years after The Edan Trilogy ends. Also, you are reading some fabulous books, including more Icelandic sagas, and whenever you talk about your course reading at university, I wish I could go back to school!
Me too!! When people ask you "what would you do if you didn't have to work for money" my answer is travel, read, and go back to college. Do I a doctorate? Lordy no. Do I want one? Don't ask silly questions.
An absolute pleasure! Thank you for such an amazing journey throughout the trilogy. I cannot wait to pick While Darkness Gathers up! I know, I'm very lucky! Forced to read Icelandic sagas.... I'll take that!
Exciting to hear it's been such a productive reading month! I feel you on Warm Hands, still very strong, but I was hoping for another all time fave like Winternight. And oooh I really need to get back into the Edan trilogy as well, though I might just wait for Allen's audiobook narration at this point. Great reviews, hope the rest of the month treats you well!
Totally agree - Edan deserves the props. Love K. Arden as well. Good selections! I didn't love Watchmen; it just wasn't my jam. Love graphic novels though. Not enough people give them a go. Used to love them for the classroom because the combo of images with the text means they really help struggling readers with comprehension. I always had a ton on my classroom library shelf.
It so does! Shame Watchmen didn't click with you. What are some of your favourite graphic novels? I love that about graphic novels. Feels like there is something for everyone. Thanks for watching!
@@williamgwynne Of course I like the classics like Maus and Persepolis but my 2 favorite GN series which are both fantasy and both YA/MG are Bone by Jeff Smith, an Ohio illustrator, and Amulet by Kazu Kabuishi. Smith has won ten Eisner Awards and eleven Harvey Awards for the Bone series! And the artwork in Amulet is so gorgeous. It really appeals to me, but the story is awesome too! It's a NY Times bestseller in the states.
Edan and Icelandic Sagas, huzzah! 🤩 Even though it is in Norwegian, I would also recommend checking out «Rolandskvadet/Roland og Magnus-kongen», a folk song based on The Song of Roland: There are great renditions with Student Choirs, orchestras and simply folk versions! The Song of Roland is definitely the inspiration for Boromir’s Last Stand, with Aragorn as Charlemagne! As for myself, I have finished «The Fort» by Adrian Goldsworthy (City of Victory Trilogy #1, Historical Military Fiction set during the Campaigns of Roman Emperor Trajan, Sequel Trilogy to the «Vindolandia» Trilogy), «Empire of Silence» by Christopher Ruocchio (Sun Eater #1, Space Opera/Sci Fantasy) and «Islands in the Net» by Bruce Sterling (80’s (Post-)Cyberpunk 😄), and I have just started on «Howling Dark» (Sun Eater #2)! I hope to also continue on with «The Lyonesse Trilogy» by Jack Vance and finish «The Green Pearl» (#2, Arthurian-ish Fantasy) this month! Cheers!
Thanks for the recommendation! Wow love that Tolkien link. Goldsworthy is a great author! What did you think of The Fort? I need to read Sun Eater. Very high on my TBR. Happy reading :)!
@@williamgwynne Yeah, Tolkien knew his Classics, no doubt about that! 😄 Loved being back with Ferox and Vindex, and with them being on the Danubian Frontier, fighting Dacians and commanding former enemies from a Briton Civil War, they have are no shortage on Action, Brutality and Intrigues! 😄
