This is an AWESOME collection of books. Glad to finally see your collection, man. Also, I WILL FINISH Wheel of Time, too, no matter how long it takes! xD I can't get enough of looking at your Folio Society edition for A Song of Ice and Fire. Btw, I didn't know you played Enderal!! I haven't played the game, I would LOVE to hear your thoughts on Dreams of the Dying! :) You even have Sun Eater series! I've been searching for Empire of Silence US hardcover for quite a while, and I can't find it. Either way, I look forward to reading it! And that Berserk collection.....

Funny enough I liked the first book most of all (but I'm a sucker for a coming of age/training story). The second and third book had amazing moments, but also some plotlines that I didn't care for and could have been removed in my opinion. I do like how she chose to end the entire series. Love authors who do something different. I loved the Chronicle of the Unhewn Throne and think you will like it as well! Very interesting (imperfect) characters with amazing worldbuilding and lore.

Great collection you got there, Jimmy! I haven't seen any Warhammer 40K books on your shelves. Have you heard it? Apparently there are a lot of great sci-fi books with deep lore, great characters and an incredible futuristic/gothic looking world. If a dark, war filled universe filled with alien races, space gods, an emperium lead by a psychic human demi god and far advanced technology appeals to you... this could be something for you. I'm interested in starting the Eisenhorn trilogy by Dan Abnett after watching some reviews from fellow booktubers. I've heard it should be a good starting point. Would you be intersted in reading anything 40K next year? Thank you for all the great content you've put up this year. I've enjoyed all of it. Have a great end of the year.
