Wayward Pines was such a good series. Such a great blending of genres.

You’ve convinced me to finally pick up Red Rising. I have had it on my shelf for over 5 years at this point, but your enthusiasm really gave me that final push to add it to my TBR

You and Petrik will make me read The red rising saga! Or at least try the first book 😂. So glad you enjoyed the last of the trilogies!

You've made me curious how I would feel about Locke Lamora on re-read since I also read it years ago and had given it 5 stars! I mostly haven't continued since it seems like the fourth book is never coming out. The Blake Crouch series sounds interesting! I remember watching the show and I've always wanted to read the books. And ahhh Red Rising is the best. I really need to read the second arc of the series!

I really enjoyed The Blighted Stars! I’m so glad book 2 is getting released this year. It’s actually convinced me to pick back up Velocity Weapon. Also, I recently read Red Seas Under Red Skies. In what will go down as the biggest surprise of the year, I absolutely loved it!

I am happy to hear the next video will not take so long. I read How High We Go In The Dark and it brought out so many different emotions in me. It shocked me and made me sad. It also made me reflect on 2021-2022 when I was so confused because of conflicting information and so many deaths. You struggle when you have family members to think about. This novel displayed that so well.
@ToriMorrow 10 ай бұрын
I completely agree. It’s a beautiful novel and brings out such a range of emotions. I can’t wait to see what else Nagamatsu writes!

I’ve been putting off Locke Lamora for too long. I’m pretty confident I’ll love it but something about it feels super intimidating for some reason.

Don’t let it intimidate you! The world building unfolds pretty seamlessly, and I think the story itself is easy to follow. I hope you pick it up soon ☺️

I'm reading through the Dresden Files books right now, but thinking about picking up either Murderbot Diaries, the Wayward Children series or I just ordered a used copy of the first Red Rising which I'm super excited for. I've, somehow, remarkably KILLED my year reading goal of 35 books for the year (I'm already at 51!!!!), probably because its the year I finally picked up fantasy! So glad I just stumbled on your channel : -)
@katieamarsh 10 ай бұрын
I feel like Red Rising is a funny series because the first book is the weakest, but a lot of people love it. I am so glad I pushed forward because the rest of the books are insanely good.

You’re making me want to read the Wayward Pines series. I’ve wondered if there’s a point because I loved the tv series. I used to have the first book and I started reading it and it felt exactly like the beginning of the series so I put it down (I wasn’t a big reader then). I was so disappointed that they didn’t finish the tv series, but they kept saying they would. Sounds like you got a true ending with the book and I would love that.
@bartsbookspace 10 ай бұрын
Both Red Rising, and Wayward Pines are on my TBR. If I can start only one series this year, which one would you recommend? Great video, as always.

I read The Blighted Stars and the romance really got in the way of the story for me too. Things would come to a stand still just for the characters to be like "omg they're so hot omg omg" and they're in a tense survival situation.

I really hope you do! I think it’s so worth it to read the second era of this series. Iron Gold may take a minute to get adjusted to, but it lays a great foundation for Dark Age and Light Bringer, which are perfect (imo 😅)
