Not sure I agree with every placement BUT I can respect the list. Reapers gale is one I go back and forth with, there are sections of that book where it’s the best of the series and then there are other sections where it’s the worst. So I always rank it middle of the road for that reason but that’s just me.

Pete, that was great!

i enjoyed this sm

Juniper was such an interesting setting in Shadows Linger that it managed to be my favorite book in the entire series. Port of Shadows almost dethroned it, though.

*loud beard scratching*

Most fantasy books will never be considered classics outside of their genre. This book will probably escape.

It is a real thing to NEVER ever ever leave keys in a car. Unless you are with them. But we all had to learn this the hard way. Good recovery.

Way to push through Peter. Technology can be tough some days. Ask the airlines.

Did I skip ahead and cheer aloud at your #1 choice? Of course I did. Watching for real now.

man, you had a day Pete, you gotta get your keys straight lol

Never understood how something could be someones favorite series, yet they don't like half the books. I would classify that as a series fail. Even if half of the books are the best fantasy ever. Great books in it, perhaps, but as a series, nope. I really wish he had condensed it to a 4 or 5 book series with more focus and following a core group of characters specifically. Then I am certain it would be the best series ever. Just my take. But I really enjoyed your take on them all. I am starting Bonehunters next. Looking forward to it.

Not the Tetris I was expecting. This is better! Similar to me having to unpack my books from boxes and find a way to fit them on the one shelf lol. I think James SA Corey did a Han Solo book, no joke.

I hope your dad doesn’t hear. 👂 we gotta surprise him

Yay 1000 celebration. Remember you be painting. lol. Keep up the good work

Great video! Also the ability for the sus-Father to read Gavalar’s thoughts. That was only alluded to but it clearly happened multiple times.

Bro don't spoil the books You gave away a big plot while talking about house of chains

I am having a great time reading malazan

Hey Pete! Just found your channel... Just want to say I love your vibe and discussion on this book.

Thanks for having me on! This was fun :)

This was such an enriching discussion! Can’t wait to read Lords of Uncreation now.

I missed this live - how could you Pete!!

I was intrigued by the title alone; then, a book haul I was watching mere moments ago captivated me with his synopsis of it. But you mentioning that the lead protagonist is Autistic has caused my interests in this book burn even stronger. Not a lot of books, shows, movies or other depict "special needs people" in positive ways in today's society

Thank you!!! Eons ago, when TBB announced their Shadows of the Apt editions I looked into the series and decided to purchase them. Months went by and I’ve been accumulating them but not quite recalled why. Now I remember!! The series sounds amazing. Empire in Black & Gold is going onto my June TBR. Again, thank you!

Excited to have you back!

Omg my favourite author also plays my favourite TTRPGs. And all the casual info on upcoming releases! How exciting!

Pippin spends his time in Gondor with a regular guardsman. It's how we get to see the people of the white city and their fears. Tolkien was raised by a single mother, orphaned as a young teen, and worked to be one a professor...never read this dudes books and dont plan to now...comrade.

Excellent job Pete! Love how Adrian just casually drops like five things coming out this year and then he's like "oh yeah btw theres also some novellas, idk man, when I know, you'll know" and that's after talking about three other books coming out in 2026 💀

What an excellent conversation. It is wonderful to hear Tchaikovsky discuss his entire oeuvre and there are so many gems - his ideas, his worldbuilding approach and his humility. Loved the little hints about upcoming works. Kudos to you as an interviewer for keeping the conversation flowing so well, transitioning between topics organically and just letting Tchaikovsky shine. Many congratulations, thank you for this interview and here's to many more. 🥳🙏🏽

Pete this was a stupendous chat-it’s so different watching an author interview when the interviewee is both a huge fan but also so well versed in the full range of the author’s works. And you uncovered an Elder Race follow up let’s gooooooooo

Fantastic interview!

Wow, so great to see this on my RUclips feed. Watching now with keen interest. I am interested in Tchaikovsky's ideas and in particular, his thoughts on his recent novel Alien Clay.

So excited to see this interview! Peter races about Adrian!

oh awesome! definitely gonna watch this!

Wellcome back! I am so happy whenever some shares their love for "The Dandelion Dynasty" and Ken Liu. Jia Matiza is one of the most comple character I ever read.

These books are so amazing man. Master Pieces. Wall of Storms can't be described in words.

Everyone read these books. These books are beyond amazing.

Absolutely amazing series. Im actually ALSO right on the middle of book #6

Your name is Pete? No way 😮 Jokes aside I am curious about this series. I didn’t love children of time but I did like dogs of war so I am mixed on this authors work.

I love the legal pad for notes, very real and organic feel to the video. I've seen the love on Allen's discord, but haven't made a bump in my TBR. You have moved the needle!

Just started my re-read of Empire of Black & Gold. I'm trying to keep my series in progress as low as possible (tbf two of those series are re-reads, so loophole i guess) but i couldn't help myself 😅

Amazing intro! You’re doing the man the bug the legend proud by getting the word out about this series. Right with you on loving the different arcs, and seeing him grow as a writer with bk 5 and beyond .

Wow! Bug powers. That’s unique

Pretty firmly rooted in Chinese and Mongolian/steppe cultures, can't think of specific Japanese influences I can remember but there are probably small things. Great video as always Pete. One day I will eventually check this out.

Man this is easily becoming one of my favorite series of all time. I’m about 100 pages into the Veiled Throne, and already I’m enjoying it more than Wall of Storms. Each book just gets better.

It's definitely cracked my Top 10 at least. Out of curiosity, what are the other favourite series or are you saving that for a future video?

I started it twice and quit twice 😢 Not happy about it so let’s see if you can open my eyes to something I’m missing 😅

Good review!👍👍👍📚🤖🚀🐲

I've had this series on my radar for a while, so I love hearing your thoughts on why you love it. Great video!
