It makes me inexplicably happy to hear how incredible your trip has been!! You deserved to feel so loved, you are an absolute treasure in this community 🥰 Take all the time you need to rest and settle back in when you get home. Safe travels!
It was such a pleasure to briefly meet you and your wife at the boat Petrik!! If you ever visit again hopefully we can have a less rushed hangout hahaha!! 🤣🙌🏻 happy to hear you had a great time !!
It was so cool to see you in Scotland, Petrik! I wish we had more of a chance to chat, but I suppose that's for next time. Thanks again for everything you do, my man.
I enjoyed following your trip, a lot of it through pictures from authors and many other people who seemed very happy to meet you. It was so nice to see, how much of an impact you made through your work.
Thanks for the heads-up about this upcoming deluxe edition of my favorite book of all time, I pre-ordered it. And I'm so glad you're having the time of your life in the UK, Petrik! You deserve all good things that come your way, and then some!
@@PetrikLeo It's the best. When I saw "a New The Will of the Many" in your video title, for a second I thought that this was about a similar book inspired by it and I got really excited, haha! This is still great news, though.
So happy for you. I'll be leaving UK today and I am excited to catch up to your content when I'll return in two weeks. Since "Son of the Storm" I've been craving for more African inspired Fantasy and "A Song of Legends Lost" sounds like what I need.
You were in the UK????? Oh how wonderful, you’re a national treasure! Hope you had a good time and we see you again soon. Don’t forget to read (the audio version) The Way of Renegades by Steve D Wall, it really is very good. ❤
Okay, I hope the trip is going well. But wow. Wow wow wow. As easily my favorite book published in the last couple of years (only rivaled by the likes of Rhythm of War), I can't believe I have to get ANOTHER copy of The Will of the Many, without a doubt. In love with the deluxe cover. So glad you shared.
It sure looks like it was the best trip of your life! So much fun, so many awesome people met, and so many BOOKS! Thanks for taking us along and I look forward to more updates as you get back home and recover 😊
It was pleasure to meet you Petrik. Glad to hear you had a wonderful time at worldcon. Enjoy the rest of your break. Looking forward to your future content and what projects you have in store.
you definitely have a big impact on my reading petrik, especially the self-pub authors, I would never have discovered them in my corner of the non-english speaking world without you.
I'm so glad you enjoyed WorldCon and the UK! I am still disappointed to have not caught you at the con... I looked but there are just so many people! Looking forward to the news!
I'm so jealous of everyone at Worldcon, but it put a smile on me every time to see their pictures with you! I'm glad you had an amazing trip and I wish you all the best for the return, Petrik!
Best part of going to the big citys are the bookstores. Hope you enjoy. I think theirs a comic/manga store in the uk caled forbiden planet. Hope is not to late to recomend.👍
Thank you so much for making great videos and recommending me great books and for just being a top bloke. I'm sad I couldn't make it to Glasgow to meet you at Worldcon due to a new baby at home, but I'll definitely come to whatever you do in the UK next!
Peeetriiik, I'm so happy that you're having the time of your life in the UK!! 😃I can't wait for you to share your vlogs and some more secrets with us 👀
I'm so happy to hear your trip to Worldcon has been a success! For me, as a fellow non-native English speaker, visiting the UK is always super thrilling, not least of all due to the experience of going to bookstores that are filled with English language books, as opposed to just one or two shelves of them! lol I'm honestly not a fan of Saga Press delaying the paperback release of The Will of the Many till next February and then announcing a deluxe hardcover for the end of this year. And right after I caved and bought the comparatively pricey hardcover (which I had to send back once due to a torn cover, and the second copy has flimsy binding with the gauze coming off, never had this happen before).
Thank you so much! It was a thrilling experience for sure. The bookstores are amazing to say the least! 😍 I really think the reason they publish this hardcover is because they didn't have enough budget to hire a better artist for thr cover art before. Now they upgraded it to a better quality. That's how I viewed it anyway. Not truly optimal! But better than changing the cover art 2 books into the series.
If I have not heard of The will of the many before, I could have mistaken at first glance of this new cover that it is a book by someone called Will Many....
@@PetrikLeo My wife is very jealous of the Ayinde book. She saw the author on an epic fantasy panel and was dissapointed when she found out the book was coming out in 2025.
Glad you had such a blast Petrik!!!
Thanks, Dino!
I’m so glad you had a fantastic time at WorldCon meeting so many people who appreciate the work you do, Petrik!
@@PhilipChaseTheBestofFantasy thank you so much, Philip!! I hope I get to see you too someday!
I am so glad we got to meet in person! Safe travels. I hope we can meet again someday!
Thank you so much, Johan!! Likewise!
What a great video hearing that you had a wonderful time! Don't worry about us, Petrik - you need time to rest.❤
Thank you so much, Suzanne! One more day and I think I'll feel well rested!
Quite awesome to see your name on the Will of the Many deluxe cover, Petrik! An instant pre-order for me.
Believe me, i feel the same. Thank you for your kind words! 😊
It makes me inexplicably happy to hear how incredible your trip has been!! You deserved to feel so loved, you are an absolute treasure in this community 🥰 Take all the time you need to rest and settle back in when you get home. Safe travels!
Thank you so much, Esmay! I'm back home now. Now to rest and back to normalcy. :D
@@PetrikLeo glad to hear you made it back home safely!
It was such a pleasure to briefly meet you and your wife at the boat Petrik!! If you ever visit again hopefully we can have a less rushed hangout hahaha!! 🤣🙌🏻 happy to hear you had a great time !!
Even though it was brief, I'm glad I got to see you in person. And yes, I'd love to have a dinner there someday! :D
It was so cool to see you in Scotland, Petrik! I wish we had more of a chance to chat, but I suppose that's for next time. Thanks again for everything you do, my man.
@@Jeremy_Szal yeah! It was very crowded. Next time we'll chat again!
Congrats on the nod on the cover, Petrik. Safe travels.
@@itscatoclock thank you so much! Cheers!
I still haven't read the Will of the Many. Promise it's on my list. Glad you are doing well!
Oh you have to read it. Truly incredible and a must-read imo!
I enjoyed following your trip, a lot of it through pictures from authors and many other people who seemed very happy to meet you. It was so nice to see, how much of an impact you made through your work.
Thank you so much! Experiencing it has felt surreal to me. I'm glad you enjoyed seeing the posts! :)
Thanks for the heads-up about this upcoming deluxe edition of my favorite book of all time, I pre-ordered it. And I'm so glad you're having the time of your life in the UK, Petrik! You deserve all good things that come your way, and then some!

I'm so happy you're having such a great time! You deserve it- can't wait to hear all the details!
Thank you so much, Tiffany!! :)
Hope you had a nice time in the UK. I live in the very north of England, like borderlands although I'm scottish
Ahh I visited Scotland but only in Glasgow and Edinburgh! I wish I had more time to explore Scotland as well! :D
So happy for you. I'll be leaving UK today and I am excited to catch up to your content when I'll return in two weeks. Since "Son of the Storm" I've been craving for more African inspired Fantasy and "A Song of Legends Lost" sounds like what I need.
Thank you, Maria! I'll probably have 2 or 3 videos for you to watch! 😁
Glad you’re having a good time! Safe travels home 😊
Thank you very much! 😊
You look happy!!!That's great !😀

Draining and so much fun sounds about right! :D
Glad you're having a good time. Have a safe trip home and rest well 😊

Thank you, Ashley! I've rested and ready to read books and make videos again! :)

Thank you so much! It means a lot to hear that. There are many incredible indie books out there! :)
I'm so glad you enjoyed WorldCon and the UK! I am still disappointed to have not caught you at the con... I looked but there are just so many people! Looking forward to the news!

So you're leaving the UK before it's my turn to visit :( I was hoping for an opportunity to shake your hand. Safe travels back home!
Thank you so much! Maybe one day we'll meet!
Do you have any news on the reprint for the howling dark and the rest hardcovers @Petrik?
@@HoneyBadger-DontCare they're available now I think. I'll talk about them more in the next episode of SFF Spotlight!
@@PetrikLeo oh, just saw howling dark and Demon in White, Kingdoms of Death is still not available
If I have not heard of The will of the many before, I could have mistaken at first glance of this new cover that it is a book by someone called Will Many....
@@118khw 😂😂
Casually sitting in front of a wall that looks like dragon scales!!
@@SwagDragon1 I'm sitting on a staircase. 😂😂
@@PetrikLeo LOL. Your fantastic art direction knows no bounds! Even staircases bow before it for the perfect fantasy backdrop
It was great to meet you. You sound as tired as we are 😂.
@@pauls713 it's fun but so exhausting. 😂😂
@@PetrikLeo My wife is very jealous of the Ayinde book. She saw the author on an epic fantasy panel and was dissapointed when she found out the book was coming out in 2025.
So how many books you brought in UK😂
