Captured in Words I find His Dark Materials to be a great winter read as well as the First Law series.

@@tracib.7725 Great choices! I read The Golden Compass years ago and I think it's about time I reread it and the rest of the series. First Law is another series I want to get to this year for sure, is there a cold setting in the First Law books?

Captured in Words awesome! Yes, there is. One of the main characters is a “North Man” and the opening scene is a snowy climate that is revisited periodically throughout the series.

@@tracib.7725 Oh yess I remember that now! Logen Ninefingers I believe? I read the first couple chapters in the library one day, definitely look forward to reading more

Captured in Words indeed!! My boys Logan and Glokta! Unforgettable characters!

lol thats brutal

Now now dear, a Lannister _always_ pays their debts.

Hahahahaha!

Hahaha glad I made someone laugh! Sometimes I think, "Hmmm would only I find this funny? Oh well let's put it in there anyway" XD

It was hilarious!

Thanks Jade! One of my hobbies has become searching everywhere for good artwork to use 😂 Yess I have Winter's Heart on my shelf which I'm assuming is where the long winter appears in WoT? Not that far in the series, but seeing that cover on the shelf made me want to include WoT in some way. Ooo awesome, I need to read Spinning Silver! I love cold settings :)

YUP

That's awesome! Glad you're enjoying the series!

Awesome! I'm glad it came at the right moment for you! :D Also good luck with exams!

Thanks!

Hahaha! 😂

Thanks! Same here, there's so many amazing Folio Society editions I want to get my hands on. Excited for Arden's new book!

Thanks! I had a lot of fun editing this one! I definitely see why people really love The Bear and the Nightingale, it has some beautiful writing and description but the slow pace and a few other things lowered the enjoyment for me-- the cold Russian wilderness setting is fantastic though!

I did find the first book really slow, but I just finished the trilogy and the second and third books are much more fast paced so I'd recommend trying to persevere!

Thank you!

Haha thank you! That's awesome, I hope you enjoy Sanderson! He's one of my favorite author's. I haven't read Elantris yet but I've heard that while it's good it isn't his best work, so make sure to keep that in mind! :) Actually I think I'll be starting Elantris in the next few months myself!

@@CapturedInWordsI'll keep that mind! Although I am almost sure I'm gonna love it. I bought Elantris because 1. I thought it would be a good intro to Brandon Sanderson 2. I was looking for something standalone. My pile of unfinished tv/book series is too big!🤣

Thank you sir

Nick Huisman Daniel Greene has a quite a bit of WoT stuff on his channel. Hope you’re enjoying your first read through!

@@sethw754 thanks for the tip! And I am, very much

Thanks!

My pleasure!

Perfect! Here in Canada it's just starting to warm up for spring before summer hits. Glad you found this video and I hope it was helpful :)

Thanks!! Glad you enjoyed the video! :D

Yes! George R.R. Martin usually has a tendency of describing everything in his world, but I find it a good thing that he still leaves some mystery to the Others and White Walkers! Adds a lot of suspense! :)

@@CapturedInWords Also the way he describes the wights, which do most of the heavy lifting of magical villainy so far in the series, is down right creeptastic. The prologue of a Dance with Dragons remains one of the scariest passages I've ever read.

That's awesome!! Glad you're enjoying Brandon Sanderson! He's definitely my favorite author right now (and most likely will be for a long time). Have fun reading the Drizzt books if you do! And thanks for the comment! :)

I can definitely relate to that, I haven't set aside enough reading time this month and I keep piling on new books I want to read. It's never-ending! Glad you enjoyed the video!

Thanks! ^_^ Hahaha yess the burning books may have traumatized multiple people ;)

Hahaha the burning books thing was a crime against booktube XD What was I thinking!?? Thanks, glad you enjoyed the video!

@@CapturedInWords What were you thinking indeed? You cruel cruel human being! 😂 nah keep on making amazing content you! (But no more burning books! 😂 )

Haha thanks! Definitely plan to do this for the other seasons as well ^_^ I did a similar video last Autumn, will be tricky to think of some summer related ones though 🤔

I've heard a lot about that book, will definitely have to check it out! Thanks! :)

AYY THANKS! I just use Adobe Premiere CC my dude! At some point I want to learn After Effects too YESSS I need to read The Girl in the Tower too, and I believe the third one comes out this year. I haven't read Uprooted 🤔 It does have my interest though so might have to give it a read. I SHOULD'VE THOUGHT TWICE ABOUT THE BOOK BURNING 😱😂

Oooohhh I didn't know this! Haha that's awesome, I'll have to watch this episode ^_^

I've only read 2 wheel of time books so far, but I love what i've read! I actually plan to read farther in the series soon!

Muahaha, keep watching my videos and you'll soon have a never-ending tbr ;)

fingers crossed we'll get a release date announcement for it this year!

It is inspired by Hadrian's Wall.

Thanks for the recommendation! Spinning Silver sounds really interesting, I'll have to give it a read sometime :)

Thanks! Yeah I had to stop quite a few times when reading the first book around 7 years ago, I'm not a big fan of books where all the characters are pretty much horrible XD I do plan on giving it a second try and see how it goes, but if it's not for me I think I'll just set it aside

@@CapturedInWords, I think you will find over the course of the series that, rather than all of the characters being horrible, they are just really complex, with some being basically good, some being basically horrible, but most capable of both good and evil. It especially gets interesting once characters that you have probably come to hate become POV characters, and you get inside their heads. If you decide to give up on it, I understand, but if you do get through it and like it, it is a series that is full of opportunity for theory and lore videos, and I would love to hear your take.

I definitely could! Actually I've thought of doing that, though unfortunately all my Stormlight Archive and Mistborn bookmarks were taken off of Etsy because of their policies :/ Eventually I might make some exclusive bookmarks like that for Patreon supporters once I make a Patreon. (Also my bad on replying to this super late)

Good choice! I've been meaning to read The Ice Queen for years now, I definitely need to at some point!

Yeah I haven't watched the new one either

I found it at a used bookstore, but you can buy it online here at AbesBooks: www.abebooks.com/book-search/title/sir-gawain-and-the-green-knight/kw/2008/publisher/folio-society/

Hey! Thanks for joining :) Once you join the server, on the left you will see a bunch of channels that you can chat on (introduce-yourself, book-recommendations, writing, etc.) Most of the main chat takes place on the General channel ^_^ Basically these channels are group chats where you can talk to other people on the server as well as myself. Discord can be a bit confusing at first! There's some good KZfaq videos out there that give a quick introduction for beginners

@@CapturedInWords Thank you! It sounds like a fun place for bookworms :D

Merphy is amazing! Haha and welcome to my channel! :)

Hahaha I'm Canadian too, and that's a fair point you make!

I'm currently wrapping up a work-related design project which I should have done near the beginning of Feb, after that I'll start uploading much more frequently and will try going full-time KZfaq! :)

That's great man, looking forward to some more videos from you, good luck on the work project!

@@fictionfanatic3469 Thanks!

😂😂

Wait but... I never said I hated any of these? XD There's a lot of "tropes" that I really like, which is why I love a lot of classic fantasy-- Yes they do use a lot of familiar tropes and formulas, but I kinda like that in some fantasy. (I only mention the tropes in the video, as the book does have them and some people don't enjoy them, I agree it is a bad cop out excuse to hate a book)
