Yes, that was a good one 😁
what a fantastic collection, i enjoyed your video so much !
I loved that you admitted which ones you had and had not read. Usually, I feel overwhelmed when I see collections like this as I'm still really new to fantasy and I just left behind. You will need that therapist for Hobb, my favourite all-time series and the reason I got into fantasy. Subscribed and now have many more TBR's :)

I’m fairly new too! Just got into adult fantasy a couple years ago so I feel the overwhelm with there being so many books. Great fun to work through though! Yes I’ve heard of the trauma she dishes out haha

@@the_fools_tale I feel the opposite, I cant BUILD a TBR, Theres a ton of choicez, but I have no clue which series i'll start and then just not like the way its written. For example, I tried ASoIaF and i couldnt get past half of book 1. I tried malazan book of the fallen, read the first 3 books of the series, only to figure out Its just not my type. I have fallen into a kind of a bad spot where i keep on re- reading stuff because I'm scared of starting a new series I may not enjoy/ even hate (though theres so far been only 1 series i just hated out of quite a bit)

Licanius was a total “judge a book by its cover” purchase for me. Looked nice on the shelf. Turned out to be decent fantasy
the inheritance cycle by christopher paolini. And light novel like named solo leveling on vol 5 and loving it.
You have an amazing collection and i love the organization, it was an insta sub for me! (Be prepared for Hobb, she will rip your heart in pieces :D youll need that therapist on speed dial)
Man your subscribers are rising!! That’s great! 😮. I started watching you when there was only 200. I’m the real deal. Lol. I want to do my channel as a book review but scared I would sound goofy!! Lol
Looks good. I am currently reading 'The Once and Future King' by T.H. White. I started off not liking it, but 240 pages in it is quickly becoming my favorite fantasy book ... of all time?
Awesome collection and video. I'd also recommend The Faithful and the Fallen series by John Gwynne, Joe Abercrombie's books, and The Suneater series by Christopher Ruocchio.

Great collection, I just don't understand buying so many expensive editions of books you have never read and don't know if you'll even like.
You should really add Dreams of the Dying to your collection! It’s an awesome book!

You have excellent taste in books! The Hand of the Sun King looks really interesting. What's your take on it?
@the_fools_tale
Жыл бұрын
The Hand of the Sun King is great! It’s a slower paced book and doesn’t have a lot of action, given the main character is a scholar. But it has great world building and it feels like a big epic adventure despite being a fairly short book!
