You Won't Believe Where Your Favorite Series Ranks! Epic Fantasy & Sci-Fi Showdown!
It most certainly is a slog. 50% of that book is filler.
Just getting around to watching this. I haven’t read a lot of these yet but they’re all at least on my tbr. Great list! (But I do agree that SoS clears)
I got jebaited by the thumbnail. I'm gonna be starting my malazan journey soon! Too much Farseer tho :( And we all know Storm of Swords is the best
Mwahahahaha. I have won. Excited for you to get to Deadhouse Gates and aSoS is definitely a close second.
Oh man I also have to read Cornwell. It seems really up my alley and everyone I’ve seen talking about it loved it. AND YAY FOR JOE ABERCROMBIE 🎉
Amazing list!! I love Oathbringer 😍😍
Love the videos so far but the none finger spoilers is harsh on new readers. Kind of ruins the surprise.
It really started in 1976 with the novelization from Alan Dean Foster. Then comic adaption, then Splinter of the Mind's Eye. You also had the Brian Daley Han Novels and the L Neil Smith Lando books, and a little later the radio plays for Star Wars and Empire. But a lot of people consider either Heir or Dark Empire as the start of EU. But its not correct. Also somewhere way far back the newspaper strips both runs fit in somewhere. From 78 to 1983? EU continuity did begin with Heir to the Empire though I suppose where they tried to link stuff in a single continuity.
I agree it doesn’t fully start with them but I didn’t include all stories as many don’t include them in their reading lists for the EU reading experience.
@@KJWohsBookReviews , yeah and some stuff comes back into continuity like black hole from Russ Manning, and Lumiya but most of that stuff is not referenced except for Gallandro being mentioned in Young Jedi Knights and of course AC Crispin might have referenced the Daley Novels but I forget. The people who managed this stuff had a deep love of the history of SW as a media property.
@@matthewgaudet4064 Thank you for the information! I have some AC Crispin Novels that i'll read eventually.
Keep making this type of stuff you will have a lot more views. Keep the EU alive
Thank you!!
thank you cause i didn’t know where to start
No problem !
Say one thing about this video, it is an excellent intro to this fantastic series 🔥 Really appreciate the effort put into editing and scripting!
Thanks a ton. Your comment is very appreciated
Really good introduction Kade!!
I tried. Thank you much
Rhulad LFG
Great series! Superb work but complicated for many readers. HUNDREDS of characters come & go then come back much later etc. I recommend having the Malazan Wiki at hand while reading to look up personalities helps ENORMOUSLY!😊
Very complicated and worth rereads. I’m only on book 4!!! Excited to move onto the next one.
Trul Sengar!
Always love seeing more osten ard content. Great video!
Appreciate it!
this is an amazing video! i love the effort put into the editing and thumbnail!
Thank you so much!!
This is fantastic. I read this series in 5 months last year. It was very challenging but also immensely rewarding.
Thank you for the upload (^:
I feel like the entire series could use a drastic re-editing. As it stands now, the series is unreadable for me. The characters are too cookie cutter to justify having more than 6 books about them. All inkeepers must be fat, and if a skinny character dares to open an inn, he is automatically untrustworthy, not only from the lead character's personal perspective, but also in the actual instory reality. All people from any certain nation have to conform to the stereotypes of that nation. If the men from one nation are known for carrying knives, they all must do so, and then the story must remind us that the women from that nation carry even BIGGER knives over and over and over again. America is known for its gun culture, but most people in America probably dont own guns, and the women dont necessarily own bigger guns than the men or vice versa. There were a few interesting characters early on. Padan Fain comes to mind, but 14 books later, I found myself just waiting for it all to end just so I could resolve all my feelings about it at long last. I wonder at how much stronger the series could have been in a far more condensed form. Rand, Matt, and Perrin served a purpose as 3 distinct characters before the end of book 3. Afterwards, reading about all 3 became uninteresting and tedious. They all gain strange powers, they all have troubled relationships with women, but they all overcome insurmountable odds. The end. I dont need to read that story 3 times in the same series. That's one character. Condense it into such, and let the characters who have their own unique names have their own unique stories.
I can totally agree. I’m only on book 10 but I think the series is like a 6.5/10 so far. The characters are all caricatures like you said and it gets pretty insane how detailed Jordan gets about that stuff even if it’s unrealistic. I enjoy if for what it is, a flawed story but I’m here for the journey and I’ve enjoyed probably more than half the books so far so I can’t be too upset or disappointed. I totally see where you’re coming from. Thank you for taking the time to comment.
@@KJWohsBookReviews I actually think the story improves with the last 3 books. Sanderson's influence for those was actually very positive in the character category, so hopefully you enjoy those just as much or maybe even more.
@@StannisHarlockgood:). I’m excited then. If there wasn’t Traveling I think I’d be much more bored but at least I can be entertained by them zipping around. The slog feels more like a lack of major plot points and less like staying in one spot like I’ve heard before. I’ll continue the series soon.
Might have to check it out if Sanderson finished it. Im a major sanderson fan
For sure, I haven’t got there yet. I’m only on the 9th book.
The first 6 books are peak. The next 5 are struggle. The last 3 are all Sanderson and are peak.
@eligoldman9200 my father read the books when he was younger and he put me off them by saying the quality drops off dramatically in the series. How bad is the drop off? Can't really go through 5 bad fantasy sized books with all the other content I enjoy.
@@molsy1768honestly the drop off didn’t happen for me until the 9th book. But I listen mostly to audiobooks and listened to some of the books in a day or two. So that can keep my interest.
Wait there was a prequel novel?
Yea, A New Spring. It’s pretty mid
A new spring is the prequel novel.
@@KJWohsBookReviews I stopped reading before the last 2 were released. When did the prequel come out?
Released in 2004
Robin Hobb will break your heart and make you wish for more
