    So glad you appreciated (I almost said enjoyed, haha!) The Warrior Prophet! R. Scott Bakker is my favorite author, and I'm always thrilled to see someone else *appreciating* his work. I've yet to encounter any author who can top him. Cheers!

    On the other hand, the religious aspect of The Covenant of Steel Trilogy is what made it work for me. The Pariah was so good, I immediately binged the final two books in sequence.

    Just wanted to say that I also picked up Wandering Inn after seeing you put it in S tier multiple times. I'm now almost finished with Volume 2 and its already become close to my favorite series of all time. It's crazy how good WI gets overtime

    You have me so pumped to try Bakker! It’s been so painful these past bunch of months to see you trying so many new mid series like Unhewn Throne with Shadows of the Apt on hold. That series is calling your name!!!

    The Covenant of Steel trilogy is very very good I hope you continue the series. Every book incorporates more magic/fantastical things than the last and of course he builds a new group. It's not a new group of thieves but military group instead the story itself is more like Joan of the Arc and Bloodsounder's Arc trilogy.

    I'm about to finish Tears of Liscor, so I was reading some reviews for Wind Runner. The reviews kind of nose-dived! I was shocked! Rains, Blood and Tears of Liscor all had a lot of action. The Wind Runner is a "breather" book, apparently. *I* think that's gonna be a great thing, but *a lot* of the reviews said it was the "2nd worst" after book #1. 🤷‍♀️

      The audiobooks are TREMENDOUS! The narrator does *a lot* of very unique accents and speech patterns that add a lot to the story.

    Man. We already did our big vacation to Peru a couple of months ago, and we don't have anything else planned until Dec. I don't miss those daycare years. My daughter is 16, and she's looking for a summer job.
    I read 7 books in May, and they were all pretty good. The best ones were Trouble With Peace and Stones of Light by Zach Argyle. I also really liked The King's Blood by Daniel Abraham and Murder at Spindle Manor by Morgan Stang.

    Warrior Prophet is such a powerful reading. Definitely in my top ten along with some other giants like the last two books of The Second Apcalypse, Storm of Swords and Silmarillion
    Staveley was a big disappointment for me too. Some cool ideas but the exetution was bad and I did not like his prose at all

    Sorry you didn’t like The Emperor’s Blades very much. I love the trilogy as well as the prequel and sequel books and think The Emperor’s Blades is the weakest, with The Providence of Fire (book two of the trilogy), Skullsworn (the prequel), and The Empire’s Ruin (the first of the sequel series) to be masterpieces. I recommend you push through. I will say though that the trilogy has one major blemish (mostly in the third book) of overrelying on a miscommunication/mistrusting trope that does get annoying.

    • @jessezigg
      @jessezigg Месяц назад

      I loved them too, but I do agree with you. I think "misunderstanding/miscommunication" is my LEAST favorite literary tool.
