@@PhilipChaseTheBestofFantasy of course. I’m excited to continue on with my journey through the series. It reads fast (in a good way) and i just reached dayravens first/second misdirection with the Dwoargs. I like where this stories headed. And Im enjoying learning the bits of information about the magic in the world the way you distribute the info
Really enjoy watching your journey through Berserk. I look forward to the new updates. It's one of the greatest reading experiences of my life. Interesting that Benjamin Liar says China Mieville was an inspiration for him. That bumps Liar up my list a few notches. If you want mind-blowingly imaginative fantasy unlike anything you have or will ever read, then read Perdido Street Station by Mieville. Highly recommend!
@@Coleton2573 that’s a second nod I’ve heard for that specific novel-it’s gotta start pushing up my list. I think it’d be a great intro to mieville for me based on what others have said. Thanks for coming and hanging out and chattin books
@@valliyarnl thank you! It’s slow and steady but it’s cathartic. Entering a point right now where I’m so reluctant to write it because my attachment that has grown with these characters-and one unfortunately-has reached their time
Very exciting to hear about The Failures, I am even more intrigued now! Hope you continue to love The Way of Edan, you're making me want to reread it hahah 🤩 Can't wait for the DnD fun, however that is going to look! Enjoy :))
@@esmayrosalyne yes! The Failures was absolutely worth the read. Dark but not too dark and such a fantastic atmosphere that Liar created. I hope your last few weeks have been going well Esmay! What’s on your docket now that you have coming up as far as reads or anything goes?
@@Chance.Dillon I am burning through some ARCs that I have coming up for end of September and early October, and after that I am hoping to limit myself on the reading commitment. Just want to go with the flow and see where the mood takes me. I actually think I am going to read my mom's favourite book soon as a little kind gesture for her upcoming birthday, so fingers crossed that works out!
@@esmayrosalyne 😂😂 “bookish omnivore” I do appreciate a tragic romance-I may have to slot that on the radar. I think gone with the wind is one we have slightly ahead(if that’s considered tragic romance)
Man, so much great reading for you right now. I'm similar in that i also tend to enjoy everything to at least some degree, there's always at least something good in there! Can't wait for D&D and for your patreon, you know I'll be in there day 1 my man. And as always appreciate the writing updates/rambles, definitely has really inspired me!
@@ralphjenkins1507 ahhhh an all time favorite?! I gotta slide it up the TBR at some point here. These comments go a long way in knocking books up the charts
@@Chance.Dillon yes, in the high fantasy genre, it's my favorite. Peake is an acquired taste. Not everyone's proverbial cup of tea. His writing will definitely strengthen your vocabulary 😃
@@ralphjenkins1507 okay I can dig it. I do enjoy a good challenge to follow along. And I find those unique story telling methods really attractive to fall into
After watching your 'My 10 Favorite Books' video, I decided to give the fantasy genre another shot (I already liked it but hadn't read much) and it turns out I'm a fantasy guy. I read the first book of the Malazan series and the first book of the Bloodsworn Saga and loved them both. Now I have the sequel to both series on hand and I'm trying to decide whether to read The Blade Itself or The Dragonbone Chair next.
@@hamz7044 what a journey! Bloodsworn was a great choice. Diving into Malazan like that takes guts but I’m glad you enjoyed it so much. Between the two you’re considering, it just depends. If you want a slow burn, Dragonbone chair is where it’s at. If you want something you can get through quickly with equal enjoyment, then go with Abercrombie. Both of those authors are in my top 5 in terms of style and prose. Both have had a big impact on how I characterize and give my characters voice.
@@Chance.Dillon Thanks for the advice! I think I'll go with The Blade Itself. Because one of the books I'm currently reading is American Prometheus, and it's like 900 pages long, so a quicker read would be good for me. By the way, I'm also trying to write as much as I can. Any tips or advice for me? It's nothing professional, I'm not trying to publish or anything, maybe in the future, but for now it's just a hobby for me. Anyway, good luck with your book. I look forward to see you publish your work!
@@hamz7044 American Prometheus is so interesting to me-one I have to get to. Excited to hear your thoughts on Abercrombie when you finish it up! As far as advice-I don’t know if I’m qualified to give it. But my advice is when that voice in your head tells you that you shouldn’t, you need to tell it to shut up. And that goes with most things in life I’ve experienced. Best of like writing! Would love to hear in the future what you come up with
@@Chance.Dillon I highly recommend American Prometheus. I'm only 200 pages in, but it must be one of the most interesting biographies you can read. And thank you once again for the advice, it was exactly what I needed to hear.
@@SpacedOutReads 😂😂 constantly seeing them is honestly so nice-so keep doing whatever it takes to throw them in. Spine in the background? Cover has to be on the thumbnail
I have picked up Gormengast a out five times, read the first page and thought 'not today'. I am a horrible mood reader so maybe soon as I am very curious.

oh my god yes the MICROPHONE i love itttt
@@valliyarnl right? It was just the natural progression

Great vid! Like usual, loving the Berserk thoughts.
@@Dwish305 yeah it’s honestly so nice to dive in to
Man you seem such a fun guy to hang out with. I wish I had friends I could talk to about books and writing process.
@@LeonC0704 feel free to chat it up here man! Would love to hear how you go about it
Me too! I only have one friend who enjoys horror books like I do.

@@esmayrosalyne oh that’s fantastic! Whats the fave? (If you can share of course) 🙃
@@Chance.Dillon Maestro by Auden Dar. She's lucky I am a big bookish omnivore, because it's a chunker of a tragic romance hahah
@@esmayrosalyne 😂😂 “bookish omnivore” I do appreciate a tragic romance-I may have to slot that on the radar. I think gone with the wind is one we have slightly ahead(if that’s considered tragic romance)
Always interesting and well done. 😊

@@Chance.Dillon something tells me there's gonna be some shenanigans going on with this group 😂
@@NerdLevelRising oh absolutely. Rick thunder would be an eclectic decision maker
@@Chance.Dillon chaos personified
Ohh. Gormenghast book looks nice. Hadn't heard of the title.
@@mburkhart41 the video that dives into it is so worth it In the description
Gormenghast is my all-time favorite high fantasy trilogy. ❤❤❤ Peake!
