Hi Brittany, thanks for the review. I'm watching this review because AI suggested that this book has similar themes as my novel. I'm writing a query letter to agents and need to add 2 or 3 books with the same theme but I really don't read fantasy at all - although "fantasy" is the closest genre my story lives in. So instead of reading 800 pages, or even half of that, I thought I'd check out your review to begin with. Having done that, I'm still not certain if the themes match those in my story. I guess I need to find a fantasy group who would be willing to read my story and give me some suggestions of other books matching the themes in my story. Do you know of any fantasy groups willing to check out my (Kailen's) story, and give me some suggestions? Thanks so much! - Roger
Whether I get books from a library or buy them I tend to find comfort knowing I have a selection of new books to read at all times. But…I do know what you’re talking about. Sometimes I binge/splurge buy and although I am really excited when I “acquire” them the dopamine high from the acquisition of a new book can fade. This only happens sometimes and honestly it’s usually with certain books. Romance books tend to be a splurge book. They don’t hold onto their appeal in my tbr like something from the NYT bestseller list or literature that has a more enduring appeal for me.
Love this book! It's not perfect but definitely worth the read 4/5 stars.
Loved the build up to the next book just finished it
She says malazan and makes it sound boring. Like molasses. Mal -ah-zan sounds dark, mysterious, exciting. The way you pronounce it is killing me.
We miss you Brittany ! Hope you have a great summer
For fuck sake what's it about ? I'll try another channel
I've been reading nothing but personal development books for a decade. I've now decided that I'm good. I've learned the things. I can now teach the things actually lol. So a few days ago I decided to read for the love of books again like I did as a YA and teen. Sooooo I went all in and ordered four books from Folio, 9 of the WoT series, and the Joe Abercrombie series so far. Time to give the Kindle a rest for a bit and enjoy some of these sweet page turners.
My life motto is always buy the book. I can scrimp and save on other things if I need to save for something big, but I can't justify not getting books.
I read the Hobbit for the first time when I was 10 years old and I loved it. I then read the first Lord of the rings book and wasn’t that impressed. I never read the other two lotr books. But recently I started reading the Hobbit again and then I read the rest of the series. And I gotta say that I loved it so much. It’s so much better than I remembered. Maybe it is because I’m older now 😂
She speaks the truth, Hyperion is the best book ever, not just scifi and this is coming from a big Isacc Asimov and Frank Herbert fan
And all pilgrims are venturing towards what will most likely be their own brutal death or eternal torture being impaled on the tree of pain, taking with them a surprising amount of luggage for what is essentially a one way trip
I started reading this book after finishing "A Fire Upon the Deep" by Vernor Vinge. "Hyperion" really needed a map of the planet in the book. It was such an excellent book that as soon as I finished the last page, instead of moving on to the sequel, I started again from the first page.
Chicago folks?
I think if you are a fantasy fan, you do need to read it. Best world building ever. Obviously the sheer size of the series helps with that. I have read other Brandon Sanderson books, and I don't think he can write anything to touch The Wheel of Time. Robert Jordan is a much superior writer in my mind. However, Sanderson did do a good job with the last three books. He seemed to lean into the things Jordan did that was pleasing and leaned away from the things Jordan did that were annoying.
You told me exactly what I needed to know about this to be totally excited about reading this!!
Hello Brittany! It's been a while hope you're doing well.
I just started this book today! I’m blown away🎉🎉🎉🎉
I just finished the series and agree. Sadly, many fans online just can’t see the misogyny and then truly think RJ was a pioneer despite like you said other series having strong female characters. People even try to compare nudity between men and women and argue there were less sexualized content from women (??). I found out his wife, editor Harrier was not fond of Rand’s polyamory- I had hoped the women would at least get multiple partners but nope.
Lost me in the cut in when you mentioned you left out Itkovian. One of the best characters in the genre. Was looking forward to your take on this character. Couldn't finish the video....
Fairly new to Sci Fi Horror but after reading The Last Astronaut by David Wellington I immediately wanted more from him. I then discovered Paradise 1 being the beginning of a new trilogy, and I was HOOKED. The characters, the setting, the creepy horror elements and fresh take on an “outbreak” scenario is brilliant. Already so excited for the second instalment and highly recommend to anyone!
Great review. Thanks! This book totally assassinated Gawyn's character. Regardless of his idiocy towards Rand, he continued to follow the Aes Sedai even after they tortured Min. Then he has the audacity to ask Min to leave with him and threaten Rand? Total d-bag. He should have died in that battle. Plot armor saved him. Virtually every relationship in this series is bad, but Egwene's sudden love for Gawyn is among the most ludicrous. They were together literally for 2 pages and we were 4000 pages into the series at that point. Is anyone smart enough to ask why Rand would kill Morgase? Why would Rahvin even? Morgase is obviously still alive. We agree on most everything but not on Min/Rand. Her reunion with him was one of the best scenes in the book. It is SO refreshing to see a man and a woman actually act like they are glad to see each other. Rarely happens in this series. Her attempt to get Rand to see her as more than a friend in the build-up to the kidnapping is one of my favorite parts in the entire series. She is the best female character in the series, and Rand totally needs a woman who doesn't channel. Their relationship is one of the few good ones in the series. Aviendha was all passion and Elayne was insta-love. Min was a true friend first. Egwene is too perfect. She always does the right thing. Should have chosen Galad. Her as an 18 year old Amyrlin is a lot to stomach. There are Aes Sedai that are over a hundred years old, and they are following a teenager? Come on. Somewhat slow book with a fantastic ending.
Hey Brittney great list! Have you read any Greek/norse mythology books? Or any historical fiction Genghis Kahn, Alexander the Great, Julius Ceasar or King Arthur? Thanks!
I’m about 70% through book 1 and honestly I find it to be a slog. I’ll finish this first book but unless it picks up significantly I don’t plan to continue the series.
Sadly Dan Simmons is a islamophobe
Im glad you liked the book. I think others were too hard on it.
Been a while since I tuned in but just wanted to drop a comment saying thank you for your past Booktube recommendations like Dreamer's Pool by Juliet Marillier. Now I'm probably gonna re-read Tolkien or Narnia or continue epic fantasies like Malazan - don't think Winds of Winter is being announced anytime soon by George R.R. Martin. Comics are also pretty interesting with image titles like Transformers and Void Rivals along with main Marvel / DC titles.
Ken Liu is not mortal!
Whaaat just finished and it wasnt that bad haha at least it was short, never felt slow to me.
This book is highly overrated. Was it neat seeing canterbury; sci-fi edition? Sure, until the second tale starts the downward trajectory of the rest. I physically cringed when super soldier man lay with Barbarella Button. Just dated, hack writing firmly entrenched the time it was written.
Thank you so much for the review! This book was definitely not my favorite though now that im done i realize how much important lore is dumped in here. Also, i think I have feelings for Lanfear. I dont know what that says about me.
The Dragonlance books tended to be shorter than later epic fantasy, but the entire shared universe of Dragonlance had around 200 or so books. I do think traditional epic fantasy is due to make a comeback. There has been a tendency to split large books into smaller volumes, so sometimes epic fantasy is out there, just not packaged like Wheel of Time.
It took me two months to finish this book. I was not totally in loved this book, I felt like it dragged. I wanted to love it and push through it to see if it got better. I think the last few chapters was the best part. I really wanted to love it like everyone else 😢
SAME - I'm on month 2 and I've only managed 6 chapters but I want to finish it....the struggle is real!
I'm seven minutes in and you've already convinced me to start this series
Book seven and you're making shirts, u gonna love the end
Thank you for the time to posting your thoughts and reactions. I felt very similar to you in some cases, and it was refreshing to know someone else thinks similar to me/visa vursa.
Jordan's repetitions are legendary. His wife was the editor so he did what he wanted to. I respect an author writing what he or she wants to, but the author should always strive to get better. It's a legendary series, but also a slog to read through.
No, I've never done a ban. I tend to read books as soon as I buy them, but I usually only buy one at a time. Occasionally, I might have a spurt of 2 or 3 books at the same time.
Set your irrigation to go off at the time they deliver if they come around the same time every time. All my drivers seem to have specific time frames.
I LOVED THIS BOOK!!!
Malazan slaps like no one
Women hate each other? Imagine that. Completely unrealistic.
Good summary! I also need to know what the Typhoon Struggle is. The pacing of this book is awesome, feels very modern. And all of the threads being concluded in the end was amazingly well done.
We miss you!
your rating seems high for a book you seem you didn't like as much
I’m your fan now! Such a good video to watch and realize that I struggled with the same
I started reading this series and made it as far as book 3 (Memories of Ice) before dropping it. I give it credit for its uniqueness and scope, but the violence is just ludicrous. It makes ASOIAF seem like a fairytale. It has some of the least likable characters I've ever read, and I'd say I had no clue what was going on through about 75% of the first book and about 40% of the second book. There are two characters and an entire plot thread in the second book where I still don't know what their purpose was. I had heard the second book was rough but to just get through it to the third, but unfortunately I found the third book possibly worse. I'm a huge fantasy guy and this series came highly recommended so immense disappointment for me. Yes, Erickson is a brilliant writer as far as turn of phrase and use of language goes, but I've long since learned that great writing does not mean a great story. For me, once you start crucifying children, I have to give your series a hard pass.
😂 I was thinking Paul has amazing eyesight and memory! He was reading that book from so far 😂
