It was so good to finally meet you in person, my friend. I was happy to hear how much you loved Utah, my home state! Please come back again. Also super excited for your USA vlog!
Meeting you on the dragonsteel nexus is one of my highlights :).. you're a great contribution to this community, so you truly deserve everything you're experiencing. ( im the one who looked for you after your participation on stage )
I looked up your Hero of Ages review on Goodreads, and that's quite a powerful story. I'm so happy you discovered this passion for reading and finding meaning in it, and in yourself. Keep being amazing Petrik! The sky is the limit brother.
Your review of Mistborn era 1 has to be the best review I've ever read .. honestly. It was so touching and well written. I'm so happy that you finally got to meet Sanderson, Petrik 😊
A true meeting of the minds! Congrats Petrik! So happy to see this milestone come true for you 😊 one of these days I hope to come to Dragonsteel and meet you all
So happy for you Petrik. I totaly understand the feeling. While I always loved reading, "Piranesi" truly changed my life, so I hope I'll get to meet Susanna Clarke one day.
Petrik this is entirely too wholesome!! Seriously, congrats on everything you have achieved over the years. I hope you know how much all your hard work is appreciated and how much of an impact you have made on so many people's lives. Very happy for you that you got to meet this literary hero of yours. All the love 🤩
@@esmayrosalyne thank you so much, my friend! Going to these conventions definitely made me realize that everything I've worked for have been helpful for people! 😄
Hey Petrik! I got an opportunity to take a photo with you on Saturday. At the moment I was at a lost of words but I just want to say thank you for your channel and your reviews! You have convinced me to read The Dandelion Dynasty which is now one of my favourite fantasy series (I’m on the the last book rn). Thank you for your videos and all your hard work
I found you on Goodreads - who is this amazing person who finds the time to not only read a book, but make notes and then write such a detailed review, that I enjoy reading. Then you posted that you had a YT Chanel and there you were in all your bookish glory! I had been watching Daniel Green but he became very childish and his obsession with the Wheel of Time got on my nerves. You were there just giving your thoughts in a very adult way and getting a bit salty once in a while, which was refreshing. Since then you have hooked me! More power to you Petrik! ❤
Petrik really glad that you had a great time and was able to get to meet Brandon. I was the one who interrupted you at Nexus briefly thanking you for your channel and thanking you for introducing me to John Gwynn. Thanks again for your channel and sharing your love for books.
This is so cool. Dragonsteel Nexus looked so amazing from what I saw on Instagram from many people and I was wondering if you also got to meet Brandon Sanderson. That is answered now. I am happy for you! And you met Robin Hobb and Fonda Lee and so many more!
I was at Dragonsteel too! I saw a lot of booktubers there, but I didn't see you, Petrik! I can't believe you came to the USA for a convention! I once flew from Chicago to Cebu City in the Philippines and it took over 18 hrs in flight. I can't imagine how long your flight must have been!
Ahhh, too bad I didn't get to meet you! And yeah... going to the USA took a LONG time. It drained my energy. That's why it's been difficult for me to make a video. The total flight was 20 hours, but the layover was 14 hours. I spent almost 2 days trying to reach USA.
Did you tell him who you were? I'm wondering if he was aware of your channel and influence here and on Goodreads. Happy for you Petrik! Brandon is awesome.
Very cool. I met and spoke with Brandon Sanderson for a bit while he signed books for me a Comic Con, two years ago. He is so accommodating, and pleasant. Would have loved to attend, but alas way too busy. Are you putting together a VLOG of the trip? On your way back I suspect that you traveled through California, too bad you didn't come through NYC, I could have shown you around.
Thank you so much! I'm putting a vlog of the trip as we speak. MANY videos to compile hahaha! Maybe one day if I go to NYC, I'll let you know. That way you can show me around! :)
You really deserve it ! You do amazing content and you seems to be a really nice person 😊 I love watching all of your content ! I’ll start Mistborn soon can’t wait! (I hope I don’t make too many mistakes sorry for my english haha)
Thank you very much! And no need to apologize. I made a LOT of mistakes when I started reviewing books, too. You can still find them on my Goodreads account.
Epic!!! All your leatherbounds singd!!! Im so happy for you!!! Ive never been to dragonsteel and i dont have any book singd exept one from paolini eragorn. And i live near utah. 😂😂. What dedication from the other side of the world👍 ( im kina sick togh so darn condition that ads to it) But im so hyped for your videos!! I cant live it right now, but i can live it throgh some one else. Thank you. Ps. You seemd so exited to meet him. I can only imagine. Awww. Its a highlight of ones life for sure😊
So happy for you🎉 Feels like dream come true😊 You are such a huge inspiration for me👏 Hope to meet Sanderson one day ✨ Dragonsteel Nexus is way too expensive for me right now, living in different country (let alone getting a visa), but I'll definitely try to visit 🤞
Thank you so much! It's definitely not easy and cheap for me to go to the USA. My friend actually paid for my flights, otherwise I don't think I can make it there.
Ah cool, glad that I could contribute to you having a well deserved trip by supporting. To be honest it's not even your reviews why I support, it's just that you're so darn wholesome haha. Did he recognize you?
@@PetrikLeo doing a re read right now. It is so hard to avoid seeking out spoilers for navigators children. I was wondering if you would consider doing a spoilers talk once you finish the series.
@ I get it I just got back from vacation and had to go right back to work when I got home and I just feel tired all the time now. You really gotta let yourself recover. Good luck! Glad you got to meet Brandon Sanderson. He seems great. I got to meet Kevin Hearne. Biggest author I’ve met.
Wow, what an honour for Brandon Sanderson to finally meet Petrik! He must have been very happy.
@@Uppernorwood976 HHAHAHAHA 🤣🤣
Congratulations, Petrik, on meeting an author who made such a difference in your life! Beautiful moment!
@@PhilipChaseTheBestofFantasy thank you so much, Philip! I met Robin Hobb and Fonda Lee too. Truly an experience!
It was so good to finally meet you in person, my friend. I was happy to hear how much you loved Utah, my home state! Please come back again. Also super excited for your USA vlog!
@@AJayRisen Mannn i love Utah! I wish I had time to visit your collection of books (steal 10 books) as well! US Vlog should be posted soon!
What a feeling!! On Instagram, only 197 people he follows, and you are one of them! So he recognizes you, what a awesome feeling 🎉❤
@@focusrelax8838 probably! Hahaha. Thank you! 😄
This is a bigger crossover event than anything in Wind and Truth. Happy for you mate!
@@LostinDiscovery thank you so much mate!! I need to start reading Wind and Truth soon. Just got home and I'm super tired. 😂
I’ve met Sanderson several times. Great guy. They say never meet your heroes, but he’s an exception. Very gracious and charismatic guy.
From what I've seen and heard, he's been nothing but great toward his readers!
Youre really living THE LIFE! Happy for you, sir!
@@carlocelis724 thank you so much! I'm resting now. 🤣
Such a beautiful moment! So happy for you Petrik, and glad you had a blast at Dragonsteel. Excited for the vlogs!!
Thank you, Zammar! I'll make sure to share the vlog next week! :)
Very very happy you got your moment, pal!
Thank you so much, Joe! I hope I can see Ken Liu someday! :)
It was wonderful getting to meet you there Petrik! Thanks for stopping and taking a picture!
@@Thucydites likewise! Do share the pic online and tag me if you can. I'll make sure to repost it!

Oh hey!! Thank you so much! It was a pleasure to meet you. I need to post my US vlog trip soon!
Awesome! Brandon is great, and shows so much appreciation for his fans.
@@StannisBaratheonOTK thank you so much! Yeah, I think we can all learn something good from him in several aspects! 😄
I looked up your Hero of Ages review on Goodreads, and that's quite a powerful story. I'm so happy you discovered this passion for reading and finding meaning in it, and in yourself. Keep being amazing Petrik! The sky is the limit brother.
Thank you so much! It means a lot to hear that! I will keep doing my best with reviewing books! :)
so jealous, wow! incredible. happy for you. what a dream 😃
Thank you, Kit! It feels odd seeing the author who wrote the series that changed your life!
Your review of Mistborn era 1 has to be the best review I've ever read .. honestly. It was so touching and well written.
I'm so happy that you finally got to meet Sanderson, Petrik 😊
@@arabellawillow aww thank you so much! I'm glad you think so! 😄
Awwwwww, so happy for you that you finally got the opportunity to meet him!! What a journey, what a destination 🙌🤩
Thank you so much, Karin! What a journey this has been! :D
Love to see a full circle moment.
Only took me 8 years to make it happen. 😂😂
Petrik, dude! I am so happy for you! I remember when we started reading together on GR. It seems so long ago! ❤❤❤
I remember that, Choko! 8 years now. Time flies! 😂
@PetrikLeo All the love and many more wonderful years to come! ❤️😃
Glad you had a great trip to the states and got to meet Sanderson!
Thank you so much, Josh!!
You have a very impressive, beautiful book shelf. Props.
Thank you so much! Took me years to accumulate this.
Congratulations, very happy for you. 🥳
@@Paromita_M Thank you!!
A true meeting of the minds! Congrats Petrik! So happy to see this milestone come true for you 😊 one of these days I hope to come to Dragonsteel and meet you all

I AM SO HAPPY FOR YOU PETRIK. Aaaaaaaaaaaahhhhh ❤🎉
@@TheYellowBusLifeReset thank you so much, Ronnie!!
@ no one deserves it more Petrik. Been following since 2017 and you’re an amazing person. Really really chuffed for you from the bottom of my heart ♥️
Definitely a full circle moment for sure. Funny the way things work out sometimes. 😎
@@treebranch2066 life is unpredictable like that! 😄
So cool, Petrik! I really wanted to go. With everything I've seen about this year's event, I may try to squeeze it in next year.
You have to do it, Andrew. It makes you realize most of the people in the community are genuinely kind-hearted people.
So fantastic you were able to meet him 🔥 life does take crazy turns. I got my regular hardcover of Way of Kings signed
Thank you so much, Kyle! Glad you got your copy signed. I'm glad I was able to meet you! :D
Amazing!
Thank you, Jed!!
Glad you loved Salt Lake, I love my gorgeous home too! Love your videos ❤️
Thank you so much! I will be posting a vlog video soon to talk about my experience in Salt Lake. It was great!
Meeting a favorite author is the best experience! So happy for you
True that! Thank you so much!

Thank you! Haha, I need to get back to writing reviews more often again. Juggling my life and work has been an insane ordeal this year!
Petrik really glad that you had a great time and was able to get to meet Brandon.
I was the one who interrupted you at Nexus briefly thanking you for your channel and thanking you for introducing me to John Gwynn.
Thanks again for your channel and sharing your love for books.
Thank you so much! I remember that. It was very kind of you to stop and say hi to me! :)

Yeahhh! For sure. I will talk about them more in full details next week. There are MANY videos to sort hahaha.
That's so awesome, Petrik! Thrilled you got to meet him 😁
@@saklopfenstein thank you so much, Stephen!
Awesome! I’m loving my reread of Words Of Radiance, but can’t wait for Wind and Truth!
Enjoy!! I need to reread Rhythm of War and continue to Wind and Truth! :)

@@thecalcuttanbibliophile happy to hear that!! 😄
It was awesome getting to meet you in person there brother!! Glad you got home safely in one piece, as did I. I miss the convention so much though!!
Likewise, brother! You're great. I'm home now and tired. The post-con blues is real.
Did you tell him who you were? I'm wondering if he was aware of your channel and influence here and on Goodreads. Happy for you Petrik! Brandon is awesome.
I didn't tell him anything! Come to think of it, I actually don't know whether he recognizes me or not!
Omggg you met him!!
Yes I did!
👏👏 Congrats Petrik!
@@nazimelmardi thank you, Nazim!
Very cool.
I met and spoke with Brandon Sanderson for a bit while he signed books for me a Comic Con, two years ago. He is so accommodating, and pleasant. Would have loved to attend, but alas way too busy. Are you putting together a VLOG of the trip?
On your way back I suspect that you traveled through California, too bad you didn't come through NYC, I could have shown you around.
@ Petrik, I starting typing above before I saw the last 10 seconds when you mentioned the blog, LOL.
Thank you so much! I'm putting a vlog of the trip as we speak. MANY videos to compile hahaha! Maybe one day if I go to NYC, I'll let you know. That way you can show me around! :)
Cool one, brother. Happy to see the video. Definitely would have been a dream come true moment 🎉
@@rajtheleepan thank you so much, brother! It feels odd and great seeing the person who wrote the series that means so much to you. 😄
Wow!! Great video, must’ve been nice seeing Brandon Sanderson!! 🎉
Thank you so much! It was great!
That's the most expensive way to get a signed Way of Kings leatherbound - travel to the U.S in person ! Congrats , Petrik !
@@djsuth7727 🤣🤣🤣 i know right!? This is a thousands of dollar signed book right here!
I'm very happy for you!
Thank you!!
You really deserve it ! You do amazing content and you seems to be a really nice person 😊 I love watching all of your content !

I am sad I missed you at Dragonsteel!!
Oh mannn! I didn't get to see you! I was dragged all over the place!
@ same I was flying around, but one day we will meet!!
🥳🥳🥳🥳
Have you started reading Into the Narowdark?
Not yet! Should be next week. Very excited to start it tbh!
@@PetrikLeo doing a re read right now. It is so hard to avoid seeking out spoilers for navigators children. I was wondering if you would consider doing a spoilers talk once you finish the series.
Make sure you get plenty rest before you get back to work reading and editing stuff. Travel is so draining sometimes.
@@gman7774 Yeah man... thank you so much. I'm completely exhausted now. Haven't read anything today. 😂
