    Guy Gravail Kay is a wonderful author. His prose are beautiful in a subtle, non-showy way.

    Hi, Merphy! How are you? Sci-fi and Fantasy have been my favorites for many years. I appreciate your recommendations, including the anime and manga on your other channel.
    Much love and blessings! 🤗❤️💖💜🙏

    Guy Gavriel Kay is really, really good. I'm not sure if Lions is the best entry. Lions does seem to have the highest good reads rating score (but not the most ratings). I think Tigana is likely Kay's true best regarded work, although my personal favorite is the Sarantine Mosaic duology (Sailing to Sarantium and Lord of Emperors), and his breakout Fionavar Tapestry is another underappreciated classic series from the 1980s. Hopefully Merphy likes Lion's and tries some of the other books over time.

    Please do the first sentence challenge with Korey 😊 I love that one!
    And maybe hide the books from the camera so we can play along.
    Also looking forward to hearing your thoughts on The Art of Prophecy 😊

    @OnlyTheBestFantasyNovels 3 месяца назад +1

    AL-RASSAN! My favorite of his stuff I've read so far, and actually the novel I recommend starting with GGK, so great choice. I hope you like it!

  • @rednaxelanesnaj
    @rednaxelanesnaj 3 месяца назад +1

    There's also Brief Cases for DF as there are characters and events that happen and referenced later on in series, and you wonder who they are and try to remember when they were introduced

    I’m so excited for you to read the art of prophesy! I think it was my favorite book last year! 😊 Look forward to hearing your thoughts on it (and the second book). Also, that book comes with a beautiful map and when I was reading, I was constantly looking at it because the characters moved around

  • @harrypotter20083

    Hey Merphy I really like the sound of The Art of Prophecy, I’m gonna try to read it with you. Also, I started The Gentlemen Bastards series and to say the least it’s very interesting.

    I thought Side Jobs was a really fun collection of stories. It's fun seeing different points of view in the Dresden series. The Fifth Elephant was also really good in my opinion. I love the Guards and the Uberwald setting. Like you I have never read Guy Gavriel Kay, but really want to read some of his books. Probably going to start with either Lions of Al-Rassan or Tigana.

  • @Coleton2573
    @Coleton2573 3 месяца назад +9

    Side Jobs is a fun collection, but Ghost Story is gonna be one of your favorite Dresden books, I think. People who say it's one of the weakest in the series are tragically wrong. 😅

    • @nolangarrett3440
      @nolangarrett3440 3 месяца назад

      The main reason people didn't like it was that they couldn't get James Marsters for the audio book. That is literally where the majority of complaints came from.
      It is so good. I love this book so much. I love it more and more each time I reread it.

    • @Coleton2573
      @Coleton2573 3 месяца назад

      @nolangarrett3440 Yep, Ghost Story is absolutely amazing and beautiful. I've also reread it. The ending of the book is so strong and well written that it could've worked as a satisfying ending to the series, in my opinion. Thank the book gods it isn't, though. And then that last chapter had my jaw on the floor. I had to pick up Cold Days immediately, both times.

    Hi Merphy,
    Any plans on Malazan? The only reason that I am worried is because if you put it off too long, you are going to forget all the details in the previous books, so please keep that in mind too!

    I'm currently reading the sequel (The Art of Destiny), and to say I'm being utterly disappointed would be an understatement, unfortunately

    It's a shame you've left publication order but any Discworld is good Discworld, though I have to say this one in my memory doesn't strike me as one of the more absurb if thats what you were craving...its better than Eric by far, which is wjat I thought you were going to next...but it's not as absurd as Eric.😅
