Taniel Two shot because he loads his 2 pistols with two bullets, each. Therefore, each shot has "2 shots" he floats with his powder mage abilities. It is not because of what was stated at 4:28

and specifically his ability to float and nudge two bullets at a time with great efficacy

This trilogy is what got me started reading fantasy again, and I absolutely LOVED it. It’ll probably be the first series that I decide to reread so I can see how I feel about it after having read so much fantasy since then.

So I just recently discovered you guys. I love the reviews and raring for book series. But sometimes I don’t want to get pulled into an entire book series of 3 books or 6 books (I’m currently DEEP into dune). Can you all do a segment for a books that are one and done?

@2ToRamble Жыл бұрын

We will certainly start doing this! Have one in mind already. (Though our videos from now until end of December are all planned out, so we’ll have to fit them in after that) - but hopefully the content in between interests you!

@@2ToRamble oh I’m sure it’ll interest me. The reviews for some of these book series has made me add them to my must read list for sure. Your content has got me even more energized about reading lately!

Started reading this trilogy after watching this vid a few days ago. I’m on the second book and I’m glad I didn’t give up after the first book. It was pretty mediocre imo but the 2nd book is much better so far. I do wish Richard gave us his individual overall ratings for each book. I’m curious to know which entry he thought was the best. This is my first fantasy book and after this, on to the modern GOAT himself Sanderson! I’ve heard great things about Stormlight.

Ooo youre in for a treat!

He did give individual ratings. His no1 is the first book. 2nd is book 3 and 3rd is book two which suffers from middle book syndrome.

I’d love to see you two review the Dark Tower series by Stephen King. Would be interested to hear you’re thoughts on it.

I (Richard) have purchased the dark tower series, but the TBR line is a long one.

I found it hard to get into. Wasn’t sure if it was going to be worth the investment.

I actually prefer McClelland to Sanderson. Writing is tighter. Dialogue is more clever, and his pacing and action are more to my tastes.

I'm enjoying the powder mage trilogy (just finished book 2) my only negatives are it seems pretty unplanned (like vetas kidnapping nila and shouting his identity at her so the reader would know but she has no idea who he is), so stuff just happens sometimes. And the traitor in book 2 was so obvious (to me) because they were literally the only one who didn't seem like a traitor. I wish there was clues or hints. Still a fun read and i always love the action Taniel gets into.

I just clicked on the video and therefore have not watched any of it but I will say this about the these books: I love some of characters and the core theme of forgiveness across family and moving on is well done, but every one of these books shits the bed in their endings (at least in reference to the gods subplots).

Love the podcast. Would it be possible to do a full review of the series The Gentleman Bastards by Scott Lynch? I really liked the series and I would love to hear your guys’ review on it.

@2ToRamble Жыл бұрын

I (Richard) have read the first and second book, hopefully we will get to doing a pitch review on it, our schedule is pretty packed. Thanks for the suggestion and the compliment.
