Petrik, this video is INCREDIBLE!!! I hope it gets a million views because I believe every single fantasy reader or person who wants to get into fantasy will find something for themselves here. I don't even want to imagine how much work this video was to construct from start to finish, but please know you are amazing and I appreciate your hard work so so much 🥰 Big hugs, Martyna
OMG YES!!! “Honor is dead, but I’ll see what I can do” gives me legitimate goosebumps every time I read it. The only quote that gets me more emotional is “you cannot have my pain” that scene made me cry hard
Paused during the intermission to say hello to Chocoboy and comment. I very much appreciated watching this video, noted down many recommendations (I think I've read perhaps 5 or 6 of the 50 books you mentioned so far) and prioritised some series which were on my TBR and you mentioned multiple times, specifically the Winnowing Flame trilogy. However, I was also deeply humbled by the amount of effort you put into this video - the vast repertoire of books you have read in so many subgenres, your ability to assimilate the characters and stories in these books and to share them with us in such an accessible manner. It takes tremendous skill as a reader and content creator - massive respect to you. I wish that this video gets all the engagement it deserves, your channel continues to grow and you continue to enjoy reading and sharing your knowledge with us. Okay, back to watching and taking notes. See you Chocoboy - your pawrent is awesome!😄
I'll say hello to Choco boy for you, Paromita! Thank you so much for watching the video, and I'm glad The Winnowing Flame trilogy will become one of your priority TBR. It's such an amazing series. The video took me hours and days to do, but I had fun planning and creating it, even if it tired the heck out of me hahaha. Anyway, thank you for the kind words! Fingers crossed people will find and love this video! :)
I have just this past hour finished reading Warbreaker, and seeing you choose it for the "Trust issues" prompt - I couldn't agree more. Not just one betrayal, several with continuingly heavier impacts! Amazing book.
I did it, watched the whole thing! It was so epic, well done and thank you. I don't know how you did it, you didn't even slow down the whole time and I loved the choco boy intermission!
I teared up when you pulled out Oathbringer. That book... That book... Additionally, whoooo! Finally done with the video. 1 hour, man. 1 hour. Great work.
I'm new to book tube and this video just solidified you as the uncontested greatest of all time in this niche! The algorithm keeps suggesting people who look one type of way and all talk about the same 5 books like they're just copy/pasting off each other 🤣 I don't mean to sound mean or like I'm throwing shade it's just not to my liking
I finally got time to watch this, and it was so much fun to watch! As you know, I completely agree with you about the urge to reread Malazan. In fact, I just finished my reread, and it hit me even harder the second time. Thanks for this, my friend!
An hour of Petrik talking Fantasy, yes please!! 😁 What an amazing video, well done for putting in so much work, we all really appreciate all you do for the fantasy community!
I can't believe I watched this entire video, but I couldn't stop! I had already quite a few of these books on my TBR (or already read) but you officially convinced me to add The Greenbone Saga and the War For The Rose Throne series to the list! ☺️
Thank you for this video. I have hand cramps, I sat here and wrote down 73 of the prompts and books to go with them. :) My tbr just got so much longer!
How much did I love this video, and even though it was an hour long, I was still eager to hear MORE recommendations from you once it was over! Thank you so much for your hard work, this video is an instant favorite and will surely help many fantasy readers! (Oh, and I also had fun guessing some of your recommendations based on the prompts which was an added layer of fun!)✨💖📚(And the Choco Boy intermission was genius!)
wow! I've added a bunch more books to my list. Thanks for doing this! I already have The First Binding preorder, and I'm counting down the days for it to arrive.
Loved seeing Choco Boy!! My doggie, Oliver, wishes him well and sends his love. Thank you for the time and research you put into this video. What an epic list! Im impressed you weren't hoarse at the end. If you have any "left over" prompts, I would love another video.
Thank you so much, Jennifer! That's very kind of you. And say hi to Oliver for me and Choco Boy, too! I still have many leftover prompts. If the video does well, I will make another one someday! :)
I didn't expect you to use so many of my prompts and I made the thumbnail!? I feel honored. I know you worked really hard on this video and it's amazing!
#57 The Fatmarked Series by David Estes! I read the entire series in an entirely too small amount of time for the number of pages involved! I absolutely adored it! And I'm currently reading his Kingfall series! Additionally, I am NOT a re-reader, but I feel confident I will re-read ALL of these! I am a huge fan of how well he develops his characters. I find myself really rooting for all of them!
That's another series I still have to read. That and Kingfall Histories were my priority series this year, but I couldn't get around to reading them due to busy schedule! :')
Petrick this RUclips video is truly Epic and it's like the Millenium Falcon takes the novice reader on a journey from the Black Holes of the unknown to an enlightening World of what to read in the Fantasy Genre. It is like you have transported people to a new realm of undiscovered knowledge, which is now available to the novice readers and the more accomplished. So Kudos to you for all your hard work and your perceived comprehension; regarding what you recommended to each and every one of us fantasy readers. Much respect for this Amazing Y.T video...
Aww thank you so much! Hahaha Millenium Falcon! It's still one of the most ambitious video I've done, and I look forward to making another one when I have the time! :)
Hey patrik! Thanks a lot for this video, i think you're the youtuber i generally agree with the most, (well, i only followed you on goodreads until now but- yeah) i love love watching you talk about books bc of your enthusiasm that i relate to! I'm just really surprised no one wanted a book that feels like a ghibli movie! I would love a recommendation for that tbh. Oh, also, i was really excited for the family/sibling rec one bc i've been wanting a good one for that since i watched game of thrones too, and then you recommended GAME OF THRONES PATRIK.😂😂
Wow, Petrik, this is the most ambitious recommendations video I’ve ever seen! Thank you so much for doing this and recommending a book for my request. I’m moving Heartstrikers higher up in my tbr!
Thank you so much. It really is the most ambitious video I've done so far on this channel!! Let me know what you think of Heartstrikers when you've read it! :)
The Nine by Tracey Townsend fills that magic/science/alchemy mix perfectly! I haven't read the sequel yet but man, what an underappreciated and kickass book (with a kickass cover too!)
Oh yeah I have that book and its sequel, The Fall! I did not know it has alchemy in it. I have to push it up my TBR pile. I think there's still one book left, I thought I might as well wait for the last book. :D
Wow! Love Choco Boy! I had to laugh when I saw him during the intermission and took a sip of hot tea! LOL I've asked you about Name of the Wind in a previous video, but after hearing that he may never finish the trilogy, I must admit I'm less inclined to read it. There are so many books on this list I haven't read and might have to dedicate a few pages in my journal for them! Thanks for taking the time and making this video, Petrik! I really do appreciate it.
Thank you so much!! A fine choice to drink a sip of hot tea during the intermission! Yeah, I love The Name of the Wind, but there's really no rush to get to it, really. Especially if you're a reader who wants to read a completed series as soon as possible! xD
@@PetrikLeo Yes, that's a good way of saying it - really no rush to get to it! I am a reader who prefers to read completed series and/or reading from a writer who you KNOW will keep writing (a la Brandon Sanderson)!
The Stone SKy is just SO amazing, the whole series really. And as a mom I agree with the themes of motherhood in this series, it is heartbreaking and just perfection
@@PetrikLeo I think the opening of book 1 hit me hardest, like one page and I'm BAWLING, probably didn't help that my at the time 4 year old sin was sleeping next to me
Awesomely done Petrik! Loved this video, and thank you for your hard work in curating this extensive list of fantasy books. It takes a very deep well of knowledge on the topic to be able to do this upon requests. Kudos to you. I am basically a romantasy reader, but your vids are helping me to explore a deeper dive into epic fantasy. I watched your vid on fantasy for beginners, and have taken several of your recommendations, thanks again.
What a sweet doggo! Thank you for this list. While it includes some of the usual suspects (Wheel of Time, Name of the Wind), it also gives some well-deserved shout-outs to high-quality books that don't get recommended or discussed as frequently and tips of the hat to gifted but less celebrated authors. I'll be watching it more than once to be sure I don't miss any interesting titles.
Thank you, Kelley! There are still many underrated/underhype books that need the shoutout. If I do another recommendation video like this, I'll mention them more often! 😄
I adore riyria covers because of the plot and characters 😂 I will fight defending those covers Also the dedication to making this is amazing, so is the fact that you've read so many books in the genre that you're able to give specific recommendations
Well damn! I'm excited to watch this entire thing. Just based off the title and description this sounds like it could be your best video. I spend a lot of time going on reddit and looking for specific types of books, so recommendations structured this way are always appreciated.
For the one request about most interesting mounts Gregor The Overlander by Suzanne Collins has giant bats as mounts too! Its such a short enjoyable 5 book series with such an interesting world that takes place in an underground city with prophecies and different factions of giant rats and cockroaches, i love those books so much and ive never heard anyone else talk about them.
Thank you Petrik for this amazing video! I‘m a relatively new follower (I followed you after hearing Emily Fox talk about you a couple of months ago) and you‘re already one of my favourite people on booktube.
I'm wondering, do you keep lots of notes on what you read? I read *a lot,* but I find my recall of names & details are not very good. I'd have a difficult time trying to fill in this many prompts! 😂
I actually don't. I highlighted passages but that's it. Other than that, I don't take notes on anything else and rely on my memory hahaha. I remember the plot and world-building elements in books, but I'm not too good with names! :)
Great video. Having done a video like this (Sci Fi), I know how much work and time goes into it. I see that work and effort in this and its really sn impressive episode. This will definitely be a go-to reference for me when I need a fantasy read.
Petrik! This is your best video! I know most of the subscribers must have said this but keep up the good work! I love your videos which are so unbiased and relatable. Thank you for the recommendations. I have ordered more than 10 books after watching this video.
I am just now getting into fantasy/grim dark fantasy. I've watched a lot of dark fantasy but have not read much. Harry Potter and Narnia are the only fantasy books I've read lol. I've pretty much put almost all of these books on my list to read. haha
Just hearing Petrick say “honor is dead, but I’ll see what I can do” gave me goosebumps and made me wanna grab a sword and go fight something. Awesome pick for that prompt
Argh that scene is just so "Ohhhh shhhittt let's goooo!!" moment. Just thinking about it hype me up again hahaha.
That line gave me goosebumps too but the scene I read right after just left me triggered
@@husseinhassan6750 what scene is that?

+ "Journey before destination you bastard!"
@@gayanegasparyan4137 I LOVE that moment!!
Paused during the intermission to say hello to Chocoboy and comment.
I very much appreciated watching this video, noted down many recommendations (I think I've read perhaps 5 or 6 of the 50 books you mentioned so far) and prioritised some series which were on my TBR and you mentioned multiple times, specifically the Winnowing Flame trilogy.
However, I was also deeply humbled by the amount of effort you put into this video - the vast repertoire of books you have read in so many subgenres, your ability to assimilate the characters and stories in these books and to share them with us in such an accessible manner. It takes tremendous skill as a reader and content creator - massive respect to you.
I wish that this video gets all the engagement it deserves, your channel continues to grow and you continue to enjoy reading and sharing your knowledge with us.
Okay, back to watching and taking notes. See you Chocoboy - your pawrent is awesome!😄
I'll say hello to Choco boy for you, Paromita! Thank you so much for watching the video, and I'm glad The Winnowing Flame trilogy will become one of your priority TBR. It's such an amazing series. The video took me hours and days to do, but I had fun planning and creating it, even if it tired the heck out of me hahaha. Anyway, thank you for the kind words! Fingers crossed people will find and love this video! :)
@@PetrikLeo I can only imagine. Fingers and toes crossed!
"...experiencing this kind of betrayal was... well, it was great" 😂
I crave it. In my books. 😂
Choco Boy did a great job in the intermission!!! Fantastic list. You put in a lot of work. I have a bunch of books to check out now. 🤩🤩🤩
Thank you so much, Kirsten! I think it's about time Choco Boy makes an appearance again!
Choco boy was so cute🥺
Edit: I really loved dragon mage. It's not super complicated but it might honestly be my fav book.
Choco Boy is the best!! hahaha. Glad you loved Dragon Mage! :)
For the ice magic prompt, my first thought was Sword of Kaigen as well!!
I loved that book so much💓
Great minds think alike, Anna! 😄 I love The Sword of Kaigen so much, too! 🤩
Your enthusiasm is contagious! I have so many books I have to read now!!
That's wonderful to hear, Kailey! Have fun reading them all! :)
What an incredible video. Congratulations. To be able to recommend 100 specific books for viewers, is an amazing accomplishment.
Thank you so much, Frank! I truly appreciate that!! 😊
Hey Petrik. I saved the video for a bad day. Today was that day😥Thank you for this great experience. You saved my day🤓
Aegh, sorry to hear you had a bad day. But i'm glad my video could cheer you up. I hope what you're going through will ease soon!
I have just this past hour finished reading Warbreaker, and seeing you choose it for the "Trust issues" prompt - I couldn't agree more. Not just one betrayal, several with continuingly heavier impacts! Amazing book.
It's a great book, imo! So many reveals and all of them are incredibly impactful! 😊
I did it, watched the whole thing! It was so epic, well done and thank you. I don't know how you did it, you didn't even slow down the whole time and I loved the choco boy intermission!
Thank you so much! I totally appreciate that! :D
I teared up when you pulled out Oathbringer. That book... That book...
Additionally, whoooo! Finally done with the video. 1 hour, man. 1 hour. Great work.
Thank you for watching!! 😁 I almost cried during the Oathbringer's scene I mentioned in the video.
As someone who is just getting into fantasy, this video is exactly what I needed!!
I'm glad to hear the video is useful, Kristin!! :)
I'm new to book tube and this video just solidified you as the uncontested greatest of all time in this niche! The algorithm keeps suggesting people who look one type of way and all talk about the same 5 books like they're just copy/pasting off each other 🤣
I don't mean to sound mean or like I'm throwing shade it's just not to my liking
Aww thank you so much! That's very kind of you to say that. I'll keep doing my best! 😁
I can't believe this was an hour long! Time flew by so fast! You did an awesome job with this video!
Ah thank you so much!! Making it was so exhausting. 🤣 Glad it worked well for you!
I finally got time to watch this, and it was so much fun to watch! As you know, I completely agree with you about the urge to reread Malazan. In fact, I just finished my reread, and it hit me even harder the second time. Thanks for this, my friend!
Thank you so much, my friend! I definitely need to continue with my reread of Malazan Book of the Fallen! I'm sure I'll love it more on my reread! :)
I started Divine Cities Trilogy, thanks to your repeated mention. 🙏🏼
Nice! I hope you'll love the trilogy! 😁
That intermission🥺🥺 you're the best!!!
You're welcome! And thank you! 😄
Wow. That's a lot. You gotta really love what you're doing to be going through such an undertaking.
Yeah, it was fun! I need to do another one like this! 😄
An hour of Petrik talking Fantasy, yes please!! 😁 What an amazing video, well done for putting in so much work, we all really appreciate all you do for the fantasy community!
Thanks, Michael! It was tiring but also a blast to do. I hope it will be useful for many readers! 😁
I can't believe I watched this entire video, but I couldn't stop! I had already quite a few of these books on my TBR (or already read) but you officially convinced me to add The Greenbone Saga and the War For The Rose Throne series to the list! ☺️
Thank you so much! Definitely a must to read Green Bone Saga and War for the Rose Throne! :)
So many hidden gems here now added to my TBR
thank you so much Petrik! 🎉
You're so welcome!
ALRIGHT! I'm finally here and I have a notes page open. LET'S GO!
Enjoy! I hope you got some great recommendations! :D
Glad you helped your brother out with a book rec!
I have to! They're missing out on many amazing stories! 😄
This video is absolutely unreal!
So refreshing and what every fantasy fan on booktube is looking for.
Thank you, Elan! It was difficult to do but also fun to make! 😄
I now have ~85 more books to read and for that I will never forgive you. Subscribed.
Thank you, John! I accept your resenment! 🤣
Thank you for answering my desert setting question! I haven’t read Malazan yet, and this makes me want to read it.
It's a challenging and complex series, but worth the ride, imo! :)
I didn't get to watch much of your video yet. But I already read The Paper Menagerie. Thanks for that.
You're welcome! Take your time watching the video! 😁
Thank you for this video. I have hand cramps, I sat here and wrote down 73 of the prompts and books to go with them. :) My tbr just got so much longer!
You're welcome, Jean! Hahah that's awesome!! 😁😁
How much did I love this video, and even though it was an hour long, I was still eager to hear MORE recommendations from you once it was over! Thank you so much for your hard work, this video is an instant favorite and will surely help many fantasy readers! (Oh, and I also had fun guessing some of your recommendations based on the prompts which was an added layer of fun!)✨💖📚(And the Choco Boy intermission was genius!)
Thank you so much! I think I will do another 100 books recommendation video eventually! I'll say hi to Choco Boy! :D
This video is a dream come true for fantasy lovers 🤗🥰 thankyou petrik
You're so welcome! Glad to hear it's useful! :)
wow! I've added a bunch more books to my list. Thanks for doing this!
I already have The First Binding preorder, and I'm counting down the days for it to arrive.
Thank you! I hope you'll enjoy The First Binding. Only one week until it's out! :)
Request 99 (book with desert setting) not being Dune kinda broke my heart :( hahahaha Great video btw!! Loved it
Thank you so much! I love Deadhouse Gates more than Dune! :D
Loved seeing Choco Boy!! My doggie, Oliver, wishes him well and sends his love. Thank you for the time and research you put into this video. What an epic list! Im impressed you weren't hoarse at the end. If you have any "left over" prompts, I would love another video.
Thank you so much, Jennifer! That's very kind of you. And say hi to Oliver for me and Choco Boy, too! I still have many leftover prompts. If the video does well, I will make another one someday! :)
32:02 the fact that you put this mid video made me smile. Subscribed 😇
Thank you! Haha, I have to! Choco needs to appear in this one-hour video.
I didn't expect you to use so many of my prompts and I made the thumbnail!? I feel honored.
I know you worked really hard on this video and it's amazing!
Thank you so much, Hilary! Hahaha yeah, I think the prompts from you fit the thumbnail! :D
Oof! Finally finished the video but great one as always. Added some of this books in my tbr.
Thank you so much for watching the entire video!! :D
Thanks Petrik, my TBR on goodreads is piling up!
You're welcome, Daniel! 😄
I loved this video so much!! Thank you for all the recommendations, and I already saved the one with baby dragons 😍
Thank you so much! I remember the baby dragon requests. Made me happy to receive that request! :)
#57 The Fatmarked Series by David Estes! I read the entire series in an entirely too small amount of time for the number of pages involved! I absolutely adored it! And I'm currently reading his Kingfall series! Additionally, I am NOT a re-reader, but I feel confident I will re-read ALL of these! I am a huge fan of how well he develops his characters. I find myself really rooting for all of them!
That's another series I still have to read. That and Kingfall Histories were my priority series this year, but I couldn't get around to reading them due to busy schedule! :')
Man I thought you were only Goodreads. Just found your channel this is great 👍
Haha thank you! I appreciate your support!
Took me 3 days to watch, but it was SO worth it!! 😆
Thank you for watching, Andres! :D
this must have taken a lot of work, very impressive and great recommendations!
Thanks, Julian! It did, but so worth it. 😁
Oh my, now I got to the intermission and it's the cutest! Thank you for caring about us and blessing us with a doggy❤
Hahaha, you're welcome! Choco boy is there to greet everyone with his smile!! :D
Only just found your channel today but I have to say I'm blown away by your content. Thank you!
Aww, thank you so much, Sarah! 😊
I will be referring to this video a lot for recs😂
Great video, Petrik🥰
Thank you, Holly!! You're so welcome!
Petrick this RUclips video is truly Epic and it's like the Millenium Falcon takes the novice reader on a journey from the Black Holes of the unknown to an enlightening World of what to read in the Fantasy Genre. It is like you have transported people to a new realm of undiscovered knowledge, which is now available to the novice readers and the more accomplished. So Kudos to you for all your hard work and your perceived comprehension; regarding what you recommended to each and every one of us fantasy readers. Much respect for this Amazing Y.T video...
Aww thank you so much! Hahaha Millenium Falcon! It's still one of the most ambitious video I've done, and I look forward to making another one when I have the time! :)
I will look forward to viewing your next insightful instalment. Thank you for taking the time to put together such an outstanding video @@PetrikLeo
Hey patrik! Thanks a lot for this video, i think you're the youtuber i generally agree with the most, (well, i only followed you on goodreads until now but- yeah) i love love watching you talk about books bc of your enthusiasm that i relate to! I'm just really surprised no one wanted a book that feels like a ghibli movie! I would love a recommendation for that tbh. Oh, also, i was really excited for the family/sibling rec one bc i've been wanting a good one for that since i watched game of thrones too, and then you recommended GAME OF THRONES PATRIK.😂😂
LOOK, that recommendation is for the STARK okay!? They're good with each other!!! Can't say the same for the rest. 😂😂 Thank you for the kind words!
@@PetrikLeo oh also i just realised i misspelled your name, sorry.😔 I know i love the stark family soo much!! I need more though, recommend more.🔪🪓
@@zynpkrdg No need to apologize! Maybe I'll make another video like this someday! :D
@@PetrikLeo aw thank you a lot.😭
Just discovered you, gonna follow your lists:))))
Thank you!! I appreciate that!
Wow, Petrik, this is the most ambitious recommendations video I’ve ever seen! Thank you so much for doing this and recommending a book for my request. I’m moving Heartstrikers higher up in my tbr!
Thank you so much. It really is the most ambitious video I've done so far on this channel!! Let me know what you think of Heartstrikers when you've read it! :)
The Nine by Tracey Townsend fills that magic/science/alchemy mix perfectly! I haven't read the sequel yet but man, what an underappreciated and kickass book (with a kickass cover too!)
Oh yeah I have that book and its sequel, The Fall! I did not know it has alchemy in it. I have to push it up my TBR pile. I think there's still one book left, I thought I might as well wait for the last book. :D
Didn't even have to add anything to my TBR, because everything was already on it, lol! Great video Petrik!
Thank you! Hahaha. The TBR tower is safe for today, Ilia! xD
This is such a fantastic video! You've also just increased my TBR tenfold.
Thank you so much, Piera!! Very kind of you. Glad I could increase your TBR even more! :D
Wow, this is really ambitious but you pulled it off!
Thank you so much! I'm pleased to hear that! :)
Wow! Love Choco Boy! I had to laugh when I saw him during the intermission and took a sip of hot tea! LOL I've asked you about Name of the Wind in a previous video, but after hearing that he may never finish the trilogy, I must admit I'm less inclined to read it. There are so many books on this list I haven't read and might have to dedicate a few pages in my journal for them! Thanks for taking the time and making this video, Petrik! I really do appreciate it.
Thank you so much!! A fine choice to drink a sip of hot tea during the intermission! Yeah, I love The Name of the Wind, but there's really no rush to get to it, really. Especially if you're a reader who wants to read a completed series as soon as possible! xD
@@PetrikLeo Yes, that's a good way of saying it - really no rush to get to it! I am a reader who prefers to read completed series and/or reading from a writer who you KNOW will keep writing (a la Brandon Sanderson)!
Wow, I salute your dedication for making this video, Petrik! Great work!
Thank you so much! It took me days to make this video! 😂
The Stone SKy is just SO amazing, the whole series really. And as a mom I agree with the themes of motherhood in this series, it is heartbreaking and just perfection
I agree! I didn't love Obelisk Gate, but the Stone Sky was amazing. It made me so emotional, and I'm not even a parent yet! :')
@@PetrikLeo I think the opening of book 1 hit me hardest, like one page and I'm BAWLING, probably didn't help that my at the time 4 year old sin was sleeping next to me
Awesomely done Petrik! Loved this video, and thank you for your hard work in curating this extensive list of fantasy books. It takes a very deep well of knowledge on the topic to be able to do this upon requests. Kudos to you. I am basically a romantasy reader, but your vids are helping me to explore a deeper dive into epic fantasy. I watched your vid on fantasy for beginners, and have taken several of your recommendations, thanks again.
Thank you so much! I need to make this kind of video again. It has been a while! 😄
for sibling relationship you put Game of Thrones. I thought you were going to say you picked it for the Lannisters haha 😂
That would be trolling at its finest. xD
@@PetrikLeo haha yes funny enough you picked ASOIAF
You have a lot of "favorite of all time" books in your list. :) Thanks for sharing. I have added most of your suggestions to my reading list.
You're welcome. To be fair. I've read a lot of books. Why settle for few when I have read many amazing books and can recommend them in one video? 😃
It's funny. I'm reading "Spinning Silver" and LOVing it. But I hear almost nothing good about "Uprooted".
This is a wonderful resource!
Thank you! Yeah, I'm not a fan of Uprooted at all, but Spinning Silver is really good!! 😁
One hour non stop entertainment and ..much more❤️❤️❤️ probably i will watch it in three parts. Will watch I.
Enjoy. Take your time! 😁
This was amazing Petrik! I wish everyone would do lists like this! Thank you so much!
Thank you so much, Adam! Haha, it's not the easiest video to do! xD
Well, my TBR list just exploded. Thank you for this list (seriously, amazing work), I think I'll be rewatching this video a lot in the future :D
You're so welcome!! 😄 Thanks for the kind words! Hopefully you'll find plenty of amazing books to read here!
What a sweet doggo!
Thank you for this list. While it includes some of the usual suspects (Wheel of Time, Name of the Wind), it also gives some well-deserved shout-outs to high-quality books that don't get recommended or discussed as frequently and tips of the hat to gifted but less celebrated authors. I'll be watching it more than once to be sure I don't miss any interesting titles.
Thank you, Kelley! There are still many underrated/underhype books that need the shoutout. If I do another recommendation video like this, I'll mention them more often! 😄
A 1 hour video!? Hell yeah let me get my popcorn 🍿😂
Thank you so much, Hayley! I hope you'll find this video enjoyable and beneficial! :)
This video must have been so much work but it was so worth it! I loved watching this and got so many recommendations from it, well done 👏
Thank you so mucu, Eilise! It took days for me to do. But worth it seeing that many readers are happy with it! 😊
My tbr list is growing by the minute here😅 btw, I feel the same about "Uprooted"
Glad you agree with me!! 🤣
@@PetrikLeo I just found out about your channel today and it seems your taste is very similar to mine. This video definitely made my day☺️
I adore riyria covers because of the plot and characters 😂 I will fight defending those covers
Also the dedication to making this is amazing, so is the fact that you've read so many books in the genre that you're able to give specific recommendations
Thank you! It was tiring but I also had fun making it. And noooo. Do not defend those cover arts! 😂😂
Thanks Petrik - there goes my TBR. 🙈
But thanks for all the work on this … great video
Thank you!! Oops on the TBR increase! 😆
Well damn! I'm excited to watch this entire thing. Just based off the title and description this sounds like it could be your best video. I spend a lot of time going on reddit and looking for specific types of books, so recommendations structured this way are always appreciated.
Thank you, Nathan! Not sure about the best, but I definitely worked the hardest on this video hahaha. I hope it will be useful for many people! :)
Thank you for taking the time to choose just 100 books. The video was over so soon and I wanted to hear more recommendations. Thank you.
You're so welcome! I think I will do another video like this someday. I still have about 200 prompts to do. xD
Wow, this was quite an undertaking. Thanks
Thank you so much, Angela! :)
For the one request about most interesting mounts Gregor The Overlander by Suzanne Collins has giant bats as mounts too! Its such a short enjoyable 5 book series with such an interesting world that takes place in an underground city with prophecies and different factions of giant rats and cockroaches, i love those books so much and ive never heard anyone else talk about them.
Oh interesting! Never heard of that one before. I'lk take a look at it. Thanks for the recommendation!! 😊
Thank you so much, Patrick, we adore you! Such amazing recommendations, you never dissapoint! :)
Thank YOU so much, Evangelia!! I tried my best! :P
Thank you Petrik for this amazing video!
I‘m a relatively new follower (I followed you after hearing Emily Fox talk about you a couple of months ago) and you‘re already one of my favourite people on booktube.
Thank you so much! Emily Fox is an awesome booktuber. I'm glad you found my channel through her! :)
I'm wondering, do you keep lots of notes on what you read? I read *a lot,* but I find my recall of names & details are not very good. I'd have a difficult time trying to fill in this many prompts! 😂
I actually don't. I highlighted passages but that's it. Other than that, I don't take notes on anything else and rely on my memory hahaha. I remember the plot and world-building elements in books, but I'm not too good with names! :)
Wow, what a brilliant video Petrik! Thank you so much for the effort you put into this. I hope you have a good day!
Thank you so much, Drew!! I hope you have a good day, too! 😄
Wow this was so comprehensive, thank you! I love how many books were featured that I’ve never heard of, can’t wait to check some of these out.
Thank you, Eliza!! It was hard work but I'm proud of it! 😊 I'm glad you got something out of it!
This is fantastic Petrik! Thank you for not repeating the same books for different prompts! I would love to see more recommendation videos!
Thank you so much, Amoura! It was a fun challenge to not repeat any book! :D
An astounding number of fantastic recommendations! Thank you so much for sharing!
You are so welcome! Thank you for watching! 😁
Great video. Having done a video like this (Sci Fi), I know how much work and time goes into it. I see that work and effort in this and its really sn impressive episode. This will definitely be a go-to reference for me when I need a fantasy read.
Thank you so much! 😄 I'm glad the video is useful!
Woohoo! Thank you Petrik! I'm going to have to try that Paternus trilogy. It sounds terrific! 😉
I know right!? That author has a pretty cool name, too! 😆
@@PetrikLeo 😂
I had not readany books before picking up Theft Of Sword. So, I saw nothing coming in way. I really loved it.
That's great! Expectations matters a lot especially with this series. :)
Petrik! This is your best video! I know most of the subscribers must have said this but keep up the good work! I love your videos which are so unbiased and relatable. Thank you for the recommendations. I have ordered more than 10 books after watching this video.
Thank YOU so much for the kind words! I truly appreciate it. It's great when my hard work paid off and is appreciated by readers! 😄
This was totally WICKED!!!!! THANK YOUUUUUUU ☺️
Thank you so much!! 😄
Great list! At some point I started to take notes for TBR. Great that you recommend also some lesser known stand alone books and book series.
Thank you so much, Anna! :)
Loved all the recs, added some to my tbr and loved the chocoboy interlude!
Thank you so much for watching, Virginia!! Choco boy will be happy to hear that! 😄
And you can tell what I’ve been binge reading this summer when my first thought for prompt 13 was Ice Planet Barbarians lol
Hahahaha!! xD
Thank you for all your hard work Petrik! 👏🏼
thank you so much, Shareefa! :)
Huge agreement with the Bands of Morning.
Thank you!
Great recommendations, Petrick! The little intermission with your sweet puppy was so cute 🥺
Thank you so much! Can't miss including Choco Boy in this long video! :D
This is your best video till date, my friend.
Thank you so much, Kunal! It is also the most tiring one to do. 😂
Wow 100 recommendations man this was quite a feat 👏👏well done so thrilled to have found your channel
Thanm you very much, Gwyndon! It was a challenging video, but worth it! 😊
I am just now getting into fantasy/grim dark fantasy. I've watched a lot of dark fantasy but have not read much. Harry Potter and Narnia are the only fantasy books I've read lol. I've pretty much put almost all of these books on my list to read. haha
That's awesome! 😄 this just means you have MANY great fantasy books to read! 😄
All your books are so beautiful! (the covers)
Thank you! I love them! :)
