    You should exclusively read books with faces on the cover for a month. Call it the "Out of Focus" challenge. That's all I've got, I'm kinda BLURRY on the details. I'll see myself out.

    I remember LOVING Trudi Canavan's books when I was a teenager. If I remember correctly the magical school element only really kicks in in the second book. They were all very readable though and the magic system is great.

    The two books you should deffo read are magicians guild and magicians apprentice. I recently read them both and loved them! I think you’d really like the sci-fi twist in the Reymond e feist books. You don’t really get into the magic school part of magicians guild properly until the second book but all of Trudy canavans books are my faves ☺️

  • @TaraTeich
    @TaraTeich 3 года назад +4

    Of the three magic books, I think you’ll like Magician’s Guild the least, due to a romantic element. I enjoyed all three, though I read the Raymond Feist series as a child, so I don’t know how well it holds up. I loved it back then.

  • @geraltpl
    @geraltpl 3 года назад +3

    OMG I got so hyped when I saw you bring out The Magician's Guild! I hope you'll (finally) give it a try. It's my comfort series that I go back to time and time again.
    I also love Feist's Magician: Apprentice, but it's mainly for nostalgic reasons, and I suspect you won't enjoy it as much.

    • @karolovesbooks2233
      @karolovesbooks2233 3 года назад

      Can you tell me a bit more about Feist, I was told it was outdated but not much more then that

    • @geraltpl
      @geraltpl 3 года назад +1

      @@karolovesbooks2233 For one thing, the writing can be pretty verbose in an awkward way. The narration is a hit or miss for me. Some sentences flow well, but some seem clumsy. It's almost like the author constantly tries to find ways to use all the words that he knows in his writing.
      I also find the characters all talk pretty much the same way, regardless of age. If the author didn't mention who said what, it's pretty hard to differentiate between the characters.
      And of course, there's a clear lack of female representation in the books. I've only read the first 5 books in the series, but so far there are very few women characters and they are pretty much stereotypical of what they're expected to be in a medieval fantasy setting. Not sure if that improves in later books.

  • @luisinaronza4206
    @luisinaronza4206 3 года назад +2

    You should pick up The Rithmatist. It is such a fun book! ♥
    I love your channel and your recs

  • @essi6409
    @essi6409 3 года назад +1

    Words of Radiance is actually my favourite book in the series so far! Can't wait to hear your reactions on some of the character interactions and plot points:)
    I read The Rithmatist earlier this year and it wasn't what I expected (felt something between middle school and YA?) but I wasn't disappointed, definitely gonna pick up the sequel once it's someday written and published.
    I recently finished The House in the Cerulean Sea and now reading Midnight Library (in Finnish though) and waiting for Kindred to arrive in mail. Not sure what to pick for summer reads after that though. Possibly Red Rising (if I can get over the present tense writing) or the second book of Narrenturm.

  • @czai_
    @czai_ 3 года назад +2

    this is it!! hope you get through The Toll this season 🤞🏼 on another note, I hope you try Unwind by Neal Shusterman. Like Scythe, it was an interesting dystopian setting. It's still my fave Neal Shusterman after all these years.

  • @chrisconrod6265
    @chrisconrod6265 3 года назад +1

    I really liked the Rithmatist and would say you should start there...excepted it's not finished and from the sounds of it, we won't see the second book for at ;east another year or two. So I guess you could put this one back on the list next year! :)

    Magicians Guild 😍 planning on re-reading it this summer 😁

  • @TheObsessiveBookseller
    @TheObsessiveBookseller 3 года назад +3

    I liked Magician, Magician’s Guild, and Rithmatist. Magician is the series that introduced me to fantasy when I was a kid. The first two are ok but it really finds its stride at Silverthorn (it switches gears to become more urban/thieves/political). My all-time fav, however is the tangent trilogy he wrote with Wurts (Daughter of the Empire - soooo good!) which I’d recommend reading after the second Magician. The Canavan trilogy was fun - a lot of great magic school feels. I would definitely steer clear of the audiobook, for me the narrator was nasally and horrendous, totally wrecking my reread lol. And Rithmatist was awesome when it came to immersing in the school/magic system! Easily my favorite YA from him. Happy reading! Always enjoy your videos. :)

  • @monamoon3256
    @monamoon3256 3 года назад

    I recently read The Rithmatist, I was also hesitant because it's YA and I really enjoyed it. I kinda thought about it randomly, so it definitely made an impression.
    The series from Trudi Caravan is also great but I'm not sure if I would like it now as an adult (I read it in middle school) and in hindsight it isn't that unique/there are a lot of similar books. The Rithmatist is just so special and interesting to me.
    Hope you enjoy whatever you pick Emily!

  • @PetrikLeo
    @PetrikLeo 3 года назад +3

    Oh I haven't read Rithmatist yet! I look forward to hearing your thoughts on that one. I just finished Magician: Apprentice, and it honestly disappointed me. Let's see whether it will click with you better or not!
    I am almost sure that you're going to hate The Wise Man's Fear, but will love Words of Radiance and Before They Are Hanged! Happy reading to you! :)

Oh the one after this one is intense!!!!!!!!!

    I’m so happy that you are reading Louise Penny! I just read A Better Man this month and have loved the entire series. I’ve also reread the first 13 books but listened to it on audio and they are fantastic as well. Your summer reading list looks great, June I’m going to tackle some books that have been on my shelves for a few years, Jane Eyre, and a couple retelling. July I try to read some SciFi and I really enjoyed The Mortal Engines series by Philip Reeves, so I’m going to try the prequel series to it, plus Record of a Spaceborn Few and The Martian. August I tend to switch to YA Fantasy, before the darker, heavier reads of autumn start.

    Mild SPOILER:
    There is a some animal stuff in this book that hurt my soul so much I threw away the book (I couldn't even bring myself to donate it) and I refuse to read anything else from this author. Now, having said that. I am very sensitive to animal cruelty, pain, suffering of any kind. So this may not affect you as much as it did me. But honestly, this book hurt me so much that I can't think about it without wanting to cry.
