I think I like reading one at a time more as well, I need to try doing that agin once i finish reading the ones I have on the go.

That's a good point about pushing through with books. I usually think of it like... when you start a book you're looking at the story really close up, and the further you get through the book the more you get to see of the world and gain perspective until finally, you can see everything as a whole.

Deltora Quest is one of the series that first got me into reading fantasy too! no one ever talks about the series, which is unfortunate cause it's a great series (just kinda wish the books were a lot longer than they are)! though i believe the Warriors series by Erin Hunter got me reading fantasy a lot more after that. though while both Deltora Quest and Warriors got me into reading fantasy, the Lord of the Rings movies were what really got me into the fantasy genre years ago, and i'm only just now reading the books...or really reading and finishing them. i tried reading them years ago, but never got around to finishing them.

reading one series at a time really helps with keeping all of the characters and worldbuilding strait, although I've found that three or four series is where things start to slip through the cracks. I was introduced to fantasy by my mom who read the chronicles of Narnia to me whern I was four.

Actually I just recently was reading around 6 different books and it put me into a big reading slump until I decided to just drop some and focus on the 2 I was really enjoying. Things begin to blur together when reading that many stories, and I just enjoy reading a lot more if I focus on a few. And that's awesome, I love the chronicles of Narnia :) me and my family would always listen to the audio books when we went on family road trips

Trank you for this video, I think it world be very helpful oft some people. And I myself will probably use some of your tips to convince more people to read fantasy, since I'm trying this constantly. This thing about sticking to one series kind of worked for me with one series. But I didn't read them exactly one after another, instead I read them one per month, what actually quite well worked. I'm talking about 'A Song of Ice and Fire', about you've to know, that in Germany (where I'm from) they splitted each book in two - so there are not 5 but 10 books out so far. So it was almost a full year for me of Game of Thrones, which was very cool, 'cause so it never left my head. Please ignor the bad grammer, as I said I'm from Germany

The Valley of the Wolves by Laura Gallego got me started in fantasy, which is quite a simple fantasy book but I was 10 so basically perfect. And then three months later Eragon happened and that's why I really fell in love with high fantasy (still to this day I read Eragon and enjoy it way more than other higher quality books of the genre, sorry not sorry)

Gardens of the moon in the start of the video was classic.

Love audiobooks. Listened to Kingkiller on audible, at first I could swear Kvothe name was pronounced Ka-Vo-Thi 👀

Have you read any major YA fantasy books? Like Throne of Glass! They’re really good

Hahahahaha im just starting to read the way of kings and i get lost everytime a new animal or a spren appears. What are the latter !!!??? I love it though. I also often get lost in the logystics, espcial inside buildings. Loving the book. Please no spoilers. Edit: i got started with a YA, the summoner by tharan .... something. I went on with kingkiller and now im going through a brandon sanderson, by far my favourite.

I prefer to juggle multiple series at a time, because then I avoid series burnout (which happened to me around 3-4 years ago when I read the first three books in ASOIAF back to back - I loved them, but when I came back to continue on with the series, I was just worn out in regards to the story, entirely and ended up giving it a mediocre rating).
