### 日本語訳： トラスク家 最初に登場するのは、問題を抱えたトラスク家です。父親のサイラスは軍隊を愛し、非常にひどい父親です。彼には2人の息子がいます。 最初の息子はアダム。彼の主な性格は、人生で何をすべきかわからないということです。次に、チャールズ。彼の主な性格は、父親との問題と怒りの問題を抱えていることです。 アダムは父親のお気に入りであり、チャールズはその嫉妬からアダムを殺そうとしますが、幸運にも失敗します。 サイラスはアダムを軍に送り込み、アダムは軍隊を嫌っています。彼は10年間軍で過ごし、その後数年間を放浪者として過ごします。 一方、チャールズは事故で頭に醜い傷を負い、怒りを抑え、農業に専念するようになります。父親が亡くなり、兄弟は不審なほど多額の遺産を受け取ります。 キャシー・トラスク 次に重要なキャラクターはキャシーです。キャシーには2つの特技があります。1つ目は完全なサイコパスであること、2つ目は人を自分に恋させることです。 彼女は両親を家に閉じ込めて火を放ち、死んだふりをします。その後、彼女は不幸な冒険を続け、最終的にトラスク家の玄関先で瀕死の状態になります。 キャシーはアダムを魅了し、彼と結婚してカリフォルニアに移住します。 サミュエル・ハミルトン 彼らの隣人であるサミュエル・ハミルトンは、愛されるアイルランド人で、大きな家族を持っています。 キャシーとアダムは落ち着き、キャシーは双子の男の子を産みますが、すぐに家を出ようとし、アダムを撃って彼を長い間うつ状態に追い込みます。幸いにも、中国系アメリカ人の召使いであるリーが双子を育てます。 サミュエルはアダムを励まし、双子に「ケイレブ」と「アーロン」と名付けます。リーは「カインとアベル」の物語に魅了され、2年間かけてヘブライ語を研究し、原文の「TIMSHEL（ティムシェル）」という言葉が「汝、支配すべし」ではなく「汝、支配できる」という意味だと結論づけます。この言葉は、小説全体を通じて重要なテーマになります。 キャシーはサリナス市に移り、名前をケイトに変え、フェイの売春宿で働きます。フェイを毒殺して売春宿を手に入れ、さらに陰謀を進めていきます。 アダムは家族をサリナスに移し、冷凍技術に情熱を注ぎますが、失敗してほとんどの財産を失います。カル（ケイレブ）は、ケイトが自分の母親であることを知り、悪の血を引いているのではないかと悩みますが、リーの助けで「TIMSHEL」に基づき、自分の選択次第で善悪を決められると気づきます。 一方、アーロンは大学をやめ、ケイトの真実を知った後、軍に入隊しますが、戦死します。 その知らせを受け、アダムは脳卒中で倒れ、死の床に伏します。カルは自分を責めますが、リーがアダムに「祝福を与えてください」と説得し、アダムは最後に「TIMSHEL」と言い、カルがまだ罪を克服する可能性があることを示します。 --- ### 要約： トラスク家の複雑な家族関係が描かれ、特にアダム、チャールズ、キャシーの物語に焦点が当てられています。物語の中心には「善と悪の選択」があり、リーが提唱する「TIMSHEL（汝、支配できる）」がテーマとして強調されています。キャシーはサイコパスで、家族を破壊する一方、アダムは冷凍技術に挑戦し、息子たちもそれぞれの道を歩むが、最終的に善悪の選択に向き合います。

Brandon is actually going to release a collection of the non-Cosmere short stories somewhere in the nearish future and is currently writing a new one to be the "selling point" of that. Was that what inspired you to do this video? And yeah, I'd say Dark One Forgotten (as well as The Original) is meant to be consumed as an audiobook, given that there is no text version available :D

Your rant on "The Phone Company" is funny. When I was younger, for most of the US there was only the one (a managed monopoly) and everybody just called it "The Phone Company". So it's not impossible; rather it's a throwback or callback. If you would like more background on how that ended (in 1982), there's a Wikipedia article on "Breakup of the Bell System" that goes into a decent level of detail.

Lol yep I never heard of any of these! Very helpful reviews, thank you 😊

I actually agree with your ranking. I read Snapshot on release and my mind was blown away haha. Love that novella. Legion is also sooo good. The only Sanderson books I've never read and dont intend to is the Alcatraz series.

Super fun! Nice whirlwind 🌪️ reviews and fun interactions with your co-Star ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Man I read a lot of these a few years back and had pretty similar thoughts. They made me take a bit of a break on the non-cosmere Sanderson stuff. Dark Ones was particularly disappointing given how spectacular a premise it was, but the humor, dialogue, characters, and direction the actors were given just failed entirely for me. Not to mention you’d have someone say “hey have you seen this person” and the immediate response from everyone was a crazy hostility like they were going to beat the main characters to death with their fists. Originals I liked but was boring like you said and ironically not that original I don’t think. Also Sandersons first f-bomb, but I have to imagine that was the coauthor who I’m not as familiar with. Perfect State I thought was a little boring Snapshot had an awesome premise and world and I actually enjoyed it mostly, but the twist at the end was soooooo stupid and non-sensical it mostly killed the story for me. I’ve decided just to stay within the cosmere for the near future, though I did like Skyward as well.

That Stuart Turton book was shite. I was especially annoyed at the postscript where he basically admitted he was too lazy to do any research.

Try Robert Gainey's Department of Intangible Assets series. Lesbian FBI agent fighting magic monsters. Elliott James Charming series. Reluctant werewolf and ex-knight trying to escape his past. Great alternate take on werewolf and vampire tropes.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 🦩You have reached My list of "Favorite RUclipsr Status" 🥳

💖🤖

I love how you have this whole formula worked out. I just go on vibes, though I like to read more than one book by an author before I'll declare them a favorite

Just finished reading Jill Bearup’s book: Just Stab Me Now. She’s another RUclipsr and actor combatant that analyzes Hollywood swordfights and such. Wondering if you’ve heard of that one?

I haven’t had a chance to read The Masquerades of Spring yet, but it’s been clear to me for some time that (a) the protagonist is Aaronovitch’s take on Bertie Wooster, (b) Nightingale may be present but won’t be all over it, and (c) while it may be somewhat entertaining, it probably won’t be a high point of the series. So I think my expectations before reading are relatively realistic. I don’t know whether you’re familiar with Wodehouse’s Bertie Wooster, but if you don’t know him or don’t like him then it’s no surprise that you don’t like the Aaronovitch version. Wooster isn’t one of my favourite characters, but I’ve quite enjoyed some of the stories about him, and I imagine I can tolerate the Aaronovitch version without pain. I’ll find out after the novella is released for Kindle on the 5th of September. I rate authors mostly on their books that I like best. I usually ignore their dud books, because either I don’t read the duds, in which case they don’t matter to me, or I read them only once, in which case they don’t matter much to me. Whereas I may read the books that I really like 20 times or more, so they matter that much more.

Have you heard of T.A. Baron? The Heroic Adventures of Kate series is really good, I'm reading Heartlight to my daughter right now. He also did The Lost Years of Merlin. Both very good!

Yay thank you for tagging me!

This is such a fun tag! I’m tagging myself 😂

Such a revealing tag... a little afraid to dive into this one.... 🤣

Chloe this Is so so nice and so fun!! Thank you for tagging me and sharing!! ❤

Fine series of books..

Great tag, and loved your picks. Like someone else mentioned, Blood Over Bright Haven is not that dense, magic system has analogy for programming language so it is easy to grasp the rules. Hope you give it a chance soon and that you end up enjoying it, despite infuriating main character. I loved it when I read it last year. I answered the questions too: 1. Skulduggery Pleasant by Derek Landy 2. The Fifth Season by N. K. Jemisin (didn't love The Hundred Thousand Kingdoms) 3. Service Model by Adrian Tchaikovsky 4. The Faerie Guardian by Rachel Morgan 5. Dracula by Bram Stoker 6. Fire and Blood by George R. R. Martin 7. The Green Angel Tower by Tad Williams 8. Soulmate Equation by Christina Lauren 9. Black Magician trilogy by Trudi Canavan (its been a while since I read book 1) 10. Six of Crows by Leigh Bardugo 11. Digital minimalism by Cal Newport 12. The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay by Michael Chabon 13. Splintered by A. G. Howard 14. Bone Shard War by Andrea Stewart 15. An Academy for Liars by Alexis Henderson

As soon as I saw Shadow of the Wind on your tbr I thought you really need to remove that, by reading it! Excellent book.

Omg thank you for tagging me! What a fun idea ❤

ooooh - what a great idea! I'd love to participate in this tag! It seems like a great way to give a little depth to looking at one's tbr

This is a masterpiece of a tag you created, and I’m going to try to do it at some point myself!

Beach Read- waiting for kindle deal Blood Over Bright Haven don’t remember one iota of it Pillars of Earth keep putting it off #hdnf ✌🏼 LOTR generational thing I’m old 🙂 The Wandering Inn intrigued would do audible if $$$ ever a big deal, would read but I’m old, again, times a runnin’ out 😬

I wish my tbr was 200 books. A cleaning is very much needed but who has time for that.

🦩Yes! #13 is a tough one. I'm struggling with that one right now- My book club is coming up📚, talking about a book I don't care about, and I haven't started it yet 🥴

Don't worry about Blood Over Bright Haven. It's incredibly easy to read, even if the story is intense. I loved it and M.L. Wang is on my "must read author" list after the two back to back 10/10s I've read from her. Even if she kills me by writing standalone novels.

Oh my gosh I love tags!! Nice job creating a whole tag👏 and thanks for tagging me!

As a guy, I really enjoyed reading the Adventures of Amina al-Sarifi minus the Demon romance, this book got me interested in reading the authors other works. It was refreshing and easy to follow pirate adventure and I loved that it was not a typical European fantasy background as well. Also, Anything about the Cosmere by Brandon Sanderson is awesome to me so I loved reading Dawnshard a few years ago.

Thank you so much for making this content as I am currently reading City of Glass and was a bit confused. I sincerely appreciate your youtube channel as an avid book reader. Thank you for making the Deavabad Trilogy more enjoyable to continue reading moving forward.

Thank you! Great summary for my upcoming TV audition 🙏🏻

I hear you about the book covers, especially from the 90s. Sometimes I also get mad when the cover style changes later in the series, like when Kate Daniels got a complete new face halfway through. But I already got used to and liked her old look. On the flip side, its so nice to stumble across a book from a new author in the genres I like with a gorgeous cover. I need to do a "judge a book by its cover" read for a reading challenge and it's so hard to pick. So many great covers out there.

Are you a school teacher you give off that vibe?

You give Lee slant eyes?

I don't know why making a tag is so much more fun than doing an existing tag. I think it's the fun of creation and putting it all together

so many fun sci-fi pics

Great video, I have some books that have been hanging out on my tbe for way too long, Fireborne is definitely one of them! Next option for the bookclub maybe? 😊 And I would love to see you give LOTR another chance in a vlog ❤❤❤ ❤❤

Oh nice it was Vorkosigan that broke the streak!! 💪

Fun recap! I gave 2 Stars and a rare DNF to Red Sister-not horrible just not personally compelling, and it’s good to hear the second half continued to feel repetitive since that makes it feel like I made the right decision. Thanks for getting me hyped to try Mercy Thompson, and Valor’s Choice seems great for me too! I recently read some female-focused sci fi from Lois McMaster Bujold that was fantastic in Shards of Honor and Barrayar (just finished Warrior’s Apprentice too which was great). Can’t wait to try Bujold’s fantasy!

🦩"See You Yesterday" sounds fun - like "Back to the Future." ⏪⏩

I really need to catch up on Mercy Thompson! Ahaha, I feel you on the covers though. I started reading the series in high school on my dad’s recommendations, and a lot of the time I’d try to find a way to hide the covers if I brought them to school. 😂

This book was the first one that truly stuck out to me as a kid as something formative, something that changed me as a person.

Funny enough, I'm having a similar experience with Red Sister. I was really enjoying the book up to 50%, and then, one day I woke up and forgot about it. I started reading other books and when I finally tried to come back to Red Sister, I couldn't help but to feel bored, nothing really was happening. I haven't decided yet if it is DNF or just a laaaaate finish.

While I enjoyed this video, I could never do it myself. I find 1, maybe 2 5-star books per year, out of the 100 that I finish. I amazingly found 2 in February, do you think I'll find more? The statistics are not optimistic.

"See You Yesterday" sounds like the really good movie "Palm Springs".

Next project, Seth reads 5 of your 5 star books. And you rate his cooking.😂

Oh, man, that’s such an unfortunate sounding followup for the book with the asexual romantic interest. I think I probably would have DNFd at the first repetition of ‘what if someday he’s not asexual’, hah. Not that it isn’t realistic, a lot of people approach asexual people that way! But I don’t particularly want to read about it, especially not as the main POV. 😂

🦩You bring up an interesting conflict in this video: that the search for perfection (5 ⭐) took the enjoyment out of the activity itself. It seems like a good lesson for Life 😉
