    Emily Wilde's Encyclopaedia of Faeries was one of my favorites. It's a book I'll probably return to over and over again in the future.

      Me too! I've read it several times already.

    Just ordered Godkiller. Somehow I missed the original review. The reason I watch all of your videos is that we have similar tastes in books, manga/anime, and videogames so I trust you 😂

    I've been really interested in Encyclopedia of Fairies, but also worried that it might not be as fun as it sounded, so really happy to see it here! :)

      Same! Mine's still on it's merry way to me from somewhere far away, so phew XD Excited to add it to my ginormous TBR!

      I ABSOLUTELY loved it! I didn't expect to get so swept up into the story or care as much about the characters, but it really got me! And the atmospheric vibes are immaculate! Please give it a try! I really hope you'll enjoy it as much as I did!

    • @fridamartensson60

      I'll add it to the list of books I'm ordering next :)

    I'm 1/2-way through Babel atm, but next is God Killer, which I'm really looking forward to reading.
    Emily Wilde is on her way to me...as are, ahem, several* books from the poor old Book Depository 😢- free freight from the UK to NZ is nothing to be sniffed at. All these books look interesting! 🙂

    I couldn’t put Godkiller down, one of the best debut adult fantasy.

    The Crane Husband was very well done. I also enjoyed The City of Nightmares. It was very immersive, and I appreciated the quirkiness.

  • @lambofHisflock1

    Loved Emily WIlde's Encyclopaedia of Faeries.... but in my top 5 I have to list Tress..... looking forward to reading some of your other recommendations.

  • @mischarowe

    Emily Wilde's Encyclopaedia of Faeries sounds amazing. I love the Fey. But I've always avoided most books on them because I'd rather read the nitty and gritty that are closer to the lore. I'm definitely going to look into this one.❤

  • @catsandbats77
    @catsandbats77 Год назад

    Planning on reading The Last Tale of the Flower Bride for the Asian readathon in May. I have Godkiller want to pick it up soon. I really want to get Emily Wilde's Encyclopedia of Faeries. I have TWO Barnes and Noble gift cards in my wallet and I need to just go there and buy it.

  • @rainydayz7866
    @rainydayz7866 Год назад

    The book God Killer reminds me of an anime I watched called Noragami. It's about a war God who became forgotten so he lost power but this 1 human girl remembers him and made a shrine for him. There was a lot of other stuff that went on, but the premise is the same. So I think I'll check it out and compare.

  • @kiddocter13

  • @eldweena1006
    @eldweena1006 Год назад

    I loved City of Nightmares! The cause of the nightmares is explained, and sets up the next book. I think it's coming out this fall. Can't wait!

  • @shellykeyes8389
    @shellykeyes8389 Год назад

    Well done! Thanks for the reminder about Godkiller, it sounds so good. Excited to hear of a fantasy book that’s not 700 pages. Still hopeful our local library will get it since my book budget is in the tank. I managed to snag The Stolen Heir by Holly Black from the library so yay! I do own Jade War so that may be my next big read.

  • @Aiyume7
    @Aiyume7 Год назад

    Encyclopaedia of Fairies but with dragons instead: Marie Brennan's The Memoirs of Lady Trent. warmest recommendations, especially with audiobook 🥰

  • @strawberrylime33
    @strawberrylime33 Год назад

    The Crane Husband sounds so intriguing. I understand the trigger warnings, and even tho I've never gone thru physical abuse, I've suffered emotional abuse, so that makes me think it'll be too hard to get through. Like how Wintergirls by Laurie Halse Anderson was waaaaaay too hard to get through, it was harsh and real.

  • @Jillybeanzxo
    @Jillybeanzxo Год назад

    I love the quirky, odd, absurdist fantasy so I’m excited to pick up City of Nightmares!
    Does anyone have other recommendations that fit that same vein?

  • @FanGirl171
    @FanGirl171 Год назад

    I am keen to get to encyclopaedia of faeries and godkiller sometime! My favourites of the quarter were - Rhythm of War, Amari, Heartstopper 1-4. No new releases made my favourites. I didn't read many new releases anyway xD

  • @RodgersReads

    I am actually surprised that 'Song of Silver, Flame like Night' isn't on this list. I thought you really liked that one!

  • @llindberg194

    I loved The City of Nightmares, went into it with low expectations because it's YA and that's usually not my preference, but I thought it was good.

    Fae/faerie is one of my strongest “anti-buzzwords” in a synopsis. I truly hate that trope. Yet EVEN I enjoyed Emily’s Encyclopaedia!
    I haven’t read Godkiller but I’ve literally heard nothing but great things so I might need to get in that soon 😅

  • @jatyson5250
    @jatyson5250 Год назад

    Would you say Godkiller works as a stand alone book, or is it clearly part of a broader series with a unsatisfying ending? I tend to not read series until it is complete or nearly complete because I have the memory of a goldfish and forget everything between books.

    • @Daemonenlady
      @Daemonenlady Год назад

      I really liked the end. But if you read it thinking it's a stand alone, you will probably think "wtf is this ending".

  • @BRG604
    @BRG604 Год назад

    Godkiller is fantastic. Looks like it'll be a series so I hope the author keeps the upcoming entries as lean and fierce as the 1st book. Spy X Family series is also very good. Not my favorite manga series, but it is always entertaining. Picked up Lackey's "Arrows of the Queen" based on recs on other videos and it was so good. I'm leaving it as a standalone though.

    City of nightmares sounds amazing! Instantly on my tbh it sounds like a blast!
    Also, Which edition is City of Nightmares? All round me it's all a green cover, not all that pretty to me, personally.
