    Welcome to a SAFE comments section! I know this is the internet and all, but I have some rather old-fashioned beliefs about treating other humans with RESPECT, and therefore I will delete any unkind comments. Thanks so much for your thoughtful and courteous participation - I look forward to hearing from you!

    I just started my first GG Kay and I agree about his writing. Agree completely about your dialogue tag discussion and adverbs - “frowned inarticulately” reminiscently?😂😂. I felt like a snail with a glassy shell just yesterday.😂

      🤣 Thanks Brian! It's very nice to receive some affirmation from a published author (my own credentials are rather lacking), and it's a pleasant change of pace from the sorts of comments I usually receive when I criticize an author's writing techniques (from the offended fans who like to tell me that I clearly have no idea what I'm talking about).

    Sorry to hear these books didn’t totally work for you Josh. I know how much you love the author. I love the thorough way you break down your reviews. That has always impressed me.

      Thanks so much for your kind words, Charles! I always put a lot of hours of work into these knowing full well that almost nobody is going to watch videos this long, so it's nice to hear you say that!

    The Miles books are great. I started at the warrior's apprenctice and went from there. No complaints. I've read Curse of the Chalion books too and that they were very good but I do like the Miles books better. You should at least read the first miles book, its not that long and it really moves. Mile's a great character. Think Tyrion Lannister with a little bit of Ender Wiggin.

      Thanks so much for sharing your perspective! ("Tyrion Lannister with a little bit of Ender Wiggins" creates a hilarious picture!) I think you're right that I should still give Warrior's Apprentice a shot.
