    I'm reading right now the Five Kingdoms series by Brandon Mull. Its pretty much a generic "kid saves a fantasy world by going to all the cool places" thing but I really like the world its in. Because it's divided in 5 kingdoms and the weird thing is that when you cross the border, the magic starts behaving in a different way. So for example in the first kingdom you could make magic artifacts and in the second one you can only make illusions so the artifacts stop working and now there's a shitton of disguises and secret entrances. Basically the author found an excuse to make completely different universe but keep the main cast every book. And I really like it.

    This was a decent video Brendaniel. I like books, and I'd like to see more book related content from you, but I think it would work better if the video was longer and more in depth. Like, instead of picking a series and just talking about some of it's themes, pick one book and give a full synopsis of it's plot, talk about what worked and what didn't work. Kind of like Thug Notes, but more casual and with a focus on reviewing the book instead of analyzing it's literary significance.

  • @wordpainter1
    @wordpainter1 7 лет назад

    Great idea! I love this concept. You seem like you genuinely enjoy doing this! Have you read any Discworld books? If not, based on what you've said here I feel like you'd really really enjoy those books.

  • @NicolaeHolley
    @NicolaeHolley 7 лет назад

    I know you said sci-fi is iffy for you, but I would highly recommend the Honor Harrington series by David Weber. It's high space opera with epic fleet-versus-fleet battles. His books always start off somewhat slow, with politics and intrigue and personal feuds, but in the last 20% of every book there's a massive escalation into epic battles that sustains itself extremely well until the resolution.

  • @ethanbeck5892
    @ethanbeck5892 7 лет назад

    If you enjoy the fantasy realm of detectives or something in this form, i highly suggest Blackblood. It is a decent story of a cop in a city that is basically hell or purgatory. Also has a prequel which is decent but best read after reading Blackblood.

  • @knottheory79220

    My favorite book is probably Earth by David Brin, it's a great book. It's pretty sci-fi, but, I think you'd like it. It's got a lot of character/world development. It's also got a little bit of a dystopian-ness feel, and it's also got a bit of "action/ SAVE THE WORLD" to it. Oh, another great book is "Kiln People" by Brin as well. It's a bit more of a detective like story.
    Another book series I'd highly recommend is Song of Albion series by Stephen Lawhead. Fantastic fantasy novels, almost as good as Tolkien's Lord of the Rings. All great reads!

    You should read the Gone series by Michael Grant. nobody ever talks about that and its a horror series about murderous superpowered children between one and fifteen, with no adult interaction because they're in a bubble from some scifi creature who tries to contril them like Under the Dome meets Lord of the Flies

  • @ednotari1345
    @ednotari1345 7 лет назад

    How about the Riftwar series by Raymond Feist. It goes across time, space dimensions, hell. And has snake people. Or The Lost Fleet series by Jack Campbell, a scifi series that actually has things like the great distances in space matter. Plus almost all of the people forgot how to do much in the way of space tactics other than go up and try to punch the other guy in the face. Robert Aspirin's Phule and Myth series were also interesting.

    Love Glenn Cook, but I've never gotten around to reading his Garret P.I. books. I keep meaning to, but always put something else in front of them. The Black Company is one of my favorite Fantasy books series.
    I would suggest the Philip Marlowe books by Raymond Chandler for a more traditional, but well written, P.I. story set in 1940s.
    For Fantasy, if you haven't read Michael Moorcock, the Elric books or the Chronicles of Corum are great.

    "The wheel of time" series, I think theres 11 books now and its really good, maybe you read them theyre kinda old written by Robert Jordan, though the original author passed away around the 8th book if I remember right but Brandon Sanderson took it over and hes written some of my favorite books too though I'm not to where it changes yet. I'm on the 8th book now. If youre into like magic and swords kinda fantasy this one heres really nice.

    If you're into comic books, I highly recommend the Baltimore series by Mike Mignola (The guy who wrote Hellboy) Honestly tho Baltimore is one of my absolute favorite comic books I've ever read. I don't want to spoil much, but it's about how WW1 was such a bloody and devastating war, that it awakens vampires from their long ass slumber and they set out into the world to seek vengeance on mankind also the vampires create basically a fungal zombie disease to also screw things even up more. The book follows the story of a dude named Baltimore, an ex-British soldier who is on the hunt to kill the vampire that started it all. I recommend it if you love alternate history, violent fantasy, dark/gothic fantasy, WW1, or Mike Mignola, 9/10

    • @cat_jk00
      @cat_jk00 7 лет назад +1

      So, like the opening of hellboy, but a full book?

    • @woundofbriccius1611
      @woundofbriccius1611 7 лет назад +1

      Yeah, there is, I guess you can call it, a prequel, except this was written first. It's called Baltimore or the Steadfast Tin Soldier and the Vampire. It basically is the story of Baltimore but from three different accounts of Baltimore's friends, and I'm pretty sure that's a whole book. The comic books follow Baltimore from either an omnipotent narration or sometimes a first person narration. I'm only on the comic books, so I can't tell you much about the full length novel, I'll have to pick it up some time

    I know you're probably too busy, but Perdido Street Station is an amazing dark fantasy by China Mieville. He classifies it as werid fiction, but the story is pretty easy to grasp, just the world building, and detailing on everything has some really depth to it.
    Basically, a semifailed scientist has to assist a mutilated member of a bird like race, but in his work, accidently fucks the entire metropolis he lives in, and people are getting their minds blanked and no one can sleep. There is a lot of weirdness that happens, so it's hard to recommend if Dune was as you described and you didn't like it, because in this universe one moment you're following the middle aged main character and his beetle headed girlfriend as they eat breakfast, then there is a giant fuck all spider that the government has, and can cut in and out of reality with its scissors. But. if you end up digging it, there are 2 sequels which are more focused and have almost nothing to do with the original, just more stories in the world of Bas-Lag.
