These sounds like fascinating and compelling reads, Johanna! Ice sounds like a tough one in some ways, but an important and engaging story. Very interesting how pervasive and deep the ice metaphor seems to be. The Bone Clocks sounds like something I might pick up eventually. Thank you for the video!
Very well said about Ice, Philip! I transitioned to a middle-grade fantasy book afterward, if that tells you anything. 😅 The Bone Clocks had such incredible character work. I wish the fantasy part had been plotted more strategically, but I think you would enjoy the emotional range in that story!
I honestly can't hear the title Rebecca anymore without hearing Allen say it with the rolling R's hahahah. Glad you enjoyed it so much though, I have been meaning to read it ever since Merphy started gushing about it but I keep pushing it off oops. And The Bone Clocks sounds so fascinating. I hadn't picked up on the slice of life vibes yet, that actually makes me even more excited to try it out. Great reviews all round, Johanna! Thanks for sharing your thoughts 🥰
I totally forgot to insert Allen in this video! 😂 I loved that review! I can't recommend Rebecca enough. Allen, Merphy, and just about every friend with different reading tastes love that book for good reason. It's so good!! The Bone Clocks was wonderful as well! I wish the fantasy elements were more strategically incorporated, but the characters won me over! Thanks, Esmay! ❤️
@@Johanna_reads Hahaha but Allen is in all our heads anyway, so it doesn't even matter that you forgot to insert him 😂 And I am going to have to prioritise both of these reads! Will keep you updated ;)
That's it, you sold me another book--you're in the top three of booktubers that make me buy books every other video, honestly! The Bone Clocks sounds sooooooo good! I've come to really appreciate those books that make the reader work for the context (I'm reading Wolfe; that's the king of such writing tool, tbh). I have the other Tanith Lee book pending--Amazon cancelled my order after they couldn't ship it, and I haven't managed to get it in Australia, unfortunately; will see if I can find this one because I really want to try the author! Great video!
I'm honored to make your top 3! I hope you're eventually able to get a copy of Tanith Lee’s Electric Forest. I highly recommend that one. I'm looking forward to sampling Wolfe’s writing someday. ☺️
I need to make time for David Mitchell. I know I will like his books. Tales From the Flat Earth is quickly moving up my TBR. Just yesterday I was talking with some people in Jimmy's discord about the books.
I loved The Bone Clocks, but I’ve also heard it’s not the best place to start with his books. I’ll have to check out more in the future. That’s neat that there’s conversation about Tanith Lee happening there! I preferred Electric Forest over Night’s Master, and I think she’s one of the more unique voices I’ve come across in fantasy!
I saw your review on Goodreads! The fantasy explanations didn’t work well for me, but I that aspect you just shared is what I loved. I happen to enjoy time travel narratives, and while this one wasn’t exactly a time travel story, it implemented techniques I love in the character writing!
Johanna how do you deal with reading slumps? I havent been able to read anything in a month. Ive tried sitting down and forcing myself but its not working, its stressing me out. I have so much on my TBR. Ever go through anything like this? Ive tried switching genres, short books, just cant do it right now for some reason. Cheers!
That's a great question and there could be many answers depending on your situation. I went through reading slumps that lasted years at certain points. I know most people are going to have you address what you’re reading, DNFing, and changing genres or book lengths-all things you’ve experimented with. The way I got out of the last massive one was by reading 5 minutes a day, and considering those 5 minutes a success. When I read for 5 minutes, I usually found I could read a little longer, but I didn't force it. Before I knew it, I finished a book, and the daily habit/ritual got me to keep going. I hope that helps, but just know that there's nothing wrong with not reading for a period of time.
I love the cutting to David Bowie in Labyrinth. Perfect! Chef's kiss. (Also, was there animation on one of the Night's Master covers?) Your review is a really helpful nudge to actually read some Daphne Du Maurier. I feel like I've been aware of her forever. One of my favorite directors is Alfred Hitchcock and he adapted three Du Maurier stories: Rebecca, The Birds, and Jamaica Inn. I don't know anything about the new adaptation, but the 1940 version of Rebecca is fantastic. It was nominated for 11 Oscars and won best picture and best cinematography.
Thank you so much for appreciated the Labyrinth-Bowie sections! 😂 I was proud of that connection. I did add a little animation-touch to the Night’s Master covers. I thought they could use a little enhancement since the resolution wasn’t great. I am going to have to get access to the Hitchcock Rebecca! I vaguely remember watching his production of The Birds as a kid and found it effectively disturbing.
Wow what an intriguing mix of heady books here! Night's Master in particular seems like it could be up my alley, and I definitely want to try Bone Clocks -- thanks for introducing me to some reads that weren't on my radar before!
Anna Kavan is so interesting. She actually took that name based on one of her characters in a previous novel, adopting it after leaving one of her clinic stays. She went through some rough times. 'Machines in the Head' is worth a look too, a collection of her stories that NYRB classics put out.
Ice in Ice and its inevitable approaching destruction seen through the dreamlike states may express Kavan's struggle with heroin (white). Such a unique, challenging book, I read and reviewed it just last month. I am not sure about it being the "feminist blood meridian" as the female protagonist seems to have little agency through most of the story. But, I have yet to read Blood Meridian so likely I'm missing the connection. Great video as always. 😀
I somehow missed your review and will have to check that out! I mostly said feminist because I understood the book to be a critique of patriarchy. I couldn’t help but feel there was an intersection between environmental issues, patriarchy, governmental/military control, obsession, and abuse of women. Blood Meridian explores different themes, but it is also highly atmospheric and zooms in on human violence and lack of agency. I saw contrasting differences and similarities between the two, like a yin-yang ☯️ of human violence through beautiful writing and an atmospheric, repetitious traveling narrative. I wish I had explained that better! Thanks, Bart!
@@Johanna_reads Yes, I understand your viewpoint now that you've pointed it out, the critique of patriarchy resonates strongly. I was particularly shocked by the abuse and the feeling of hopelessness that permeates the book. It's not a book I loved reading, but one I will not soon forget.
@@bartsbookspace same here! I found the story and abuse dynamic very uncomfortable. At the same time, I appreciated that Kavan didn't hold back from presenting brutal themes.
I own but have yet to read Tanith Lee's night's master and electric forest based on your reccomendatios. These others sound interesting too, especially The Bone Clocks, Cheers.
So pleased you enjoyed Rebecca 🙂 I discovered du Maurier in my early 20s and went on a spree, reading everything I could find of hers. David Mitchell is another one I want to read more of. As for the other two, I’m going to check them out.
I’ve heard that The Bone Clocks is not the best place to start with Mitchell’s books (shared universe), but despite issues with the fantasy incorporation, I really loved his character writing! Rebecca was a masterpiece! ❤️
Yesssss Rebecca! I adore the atmosphere of that book. It’s in Manderley but also the “ghost” of Rebecca, such as with Mrs Danvers. The movie was not my thing because Manderley is grander in my head than on screen. Ice has been hovering on my TBR, I’m intrigued
Now I finally understand your love of Rebecca! I’m so happy that I finally got to experience Rebecca and Manderley! Mrs Danvers reminded me of someone I once knew, which made her all the more creepy. Ice was a disturbing read, but I thought it was a powerful allegory. I had so many more thoughts that I somehow forgot to mention, but it’s definitely character or plot-driven in a modern way.
I really need to read Rebecca. I have only really read two Gothic books (Picture of Dorian Grey and Phantom of the Opera) and im curious on how it would compare with them
Rebecca convinced me that Gothic Lit might be my thing! I don't know of a single person who has read Rebecca and not enjoyed it. I highly recommend checking it out!
I kept waiting and waiting for that content warning on Night's Master haha. Actually put the book down at the end of the first chapter and had to decide if I really wanted to read about this demon prince playing with human lives for a moment. Obviously I kept going but I wasn't expecting some of the stuff she put in that book. I also happen to be reading Ice at the moment and it is not clicking for me yet. Not entirely sure why but I do plan to finish it
That first chapter of Night's Master was so uncomfortable! I wonder how that worked with publishing, but I know a lot of problematic content got by back then. I can understand not clicking with Ice. I found it impactful but not an easy book to pitch in some ways. Hope you find it worthwhile when you do continue!
ICE: When our protagonist is on his way to a meeting with the Mayor (Warden?) , sees the woman , follows her into the bedroom and casually r*pes her then proceeds to the meeting.........no. Nothing in that story made any sense.
The 2020 adaptation of Rebecca was aimed at people who haven’t read the book, I think. The 1997 one was pretty good and fit the book better, from memory.
Thank you! There’s much more I could’ve said about the book. It’s a hard sell for modern SFF readers, but a powerful allegory with excellent writing nonetheless!
Bone Clocks is my JAM!! Give Cloud Atlas a try it has much of a stand alone feel than Bone Clocks. All of his stuff is connected though into a sprawling universe that encompasses physical and metaphysical.
It really helped to learn that the fantasy stuff is more connected to a shared universe. I am time-travel story lover, so he used chracter writing techniques that captured my heart in that regard! I haven’t read any other book that has made me laugh and cry in a long time, and I look forward to reading Cloud Atlas!
Oh you gotta hit me up when you start. 1 of my all time special reads. I met him at the World Fantasy Con in San Antonio he was such an amazing person. @@Johanna_reads
I have to agree with that joke at the beginning. Never really quite got why the fantasy genre was called fantasy when all fiction books have fantasy in them. Thank you for that link to the Gothic literature video! I've been curious about it ever since I read Dracula, but never got around to looking for information on it because I wasn't sure what sources would be good. I appreciate the word of mouth in this video. In Runes reading, there's a rune called Isa. It supposedly literally means "ice", and the way you described ice in this video is basically the very interpretation given to Isa. I like the question posed by the themes of Lee's books. How much does society play a hand in shaping a person? And is it possible for a person to resist that shaping, and to what degree? Based on the rest of your description of Lee's book, I think I'd be fascinated with them. Thank you so much for the making the video, Johanna. May the runes fall in your favor.
Thank you so much! I was very impressed with that Gothic Literature video. He didn't even mention Rebecca, and it perfectly fits all the aspects he described. I recommend Electric Forest over Night's Master, and I hope you enjoy it! That's interesting about Isa, and I hope the runes are kind to you too! :)
Great video Johanna! I’ve been on the fence with Bone Clocks because I DNFd Clout Atlas. I may still try it sometime. Night’s Master sounds pretty good.
cool you read tanith lee, have not read any of her books but always thought she was a good example of one of the many female authors from back in the day, and clearly a very good one
I feel sad that I hadn’t heard of her before last year. While I can imagine her books not appealing to many modern readers, I’m still glad to bring attention to her in 2024!
Night's Master was so unique, it reminded me a lot of a collection of Greek myths where the stories all nest within each other. I have never read anything like it before!
My algorithm did show me this one so I noticed that I missed a bunch of videos from you. All four of the books you reviewed sound great. I'm going to have to put them all on my tbr. I already have tales from the flat earth on my Kindle so I'll have to jump on that one soon.
