Nice! Thanks for basically telling me the ending before I even read it. lmao

Yes I loved Zhara, 5 stars! I didn't like her other work, Wintersong, so much, 2 stars. Read Sorcery and Small Magics first! 🐸

I love your intro so much, whenever I hear the first chord I'm in a good mood. Unruly looks like it's right up my alley, I'll have to pick that up sometime!

this is his best work and i am hardcore fan of the greatcouts

I really enjoyed your review of Equal Rites. I have also made a review of it: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/nK-Gm5ODt6msZqc.html

I've had The Bitterbynde trilogy for decades but haven't yet read it. I also have the first three books of the sequel series. I tried one of Sara Dougless' books several years ago but couldn't get into it. I unhauled the books.

I loved The Ill-Made Mute. It was lovely and loads of folk lore

Great haul !! I also have The Ill-Made Mute on my shelf. I picked it up from a second hand book shop a few years ago...but I haven't read it yet. My son has read the Runemarks series and loved it.i think it is slightly norse inspired....if I remember correctly what he told me about it. Enjoy your pile of loveliness! 📚 My most recent purchase was Unraveller by Francis Hardinge.

I haven't read all of it but Bitch focuses more on the animal kingdom and how diverse and nonbinary it really is and how over the history of biology scientists (especially men) would try and force their own biases on the animals they were studying. Unruly sounds right up my alley, will have to check it out.

Hi 👋 like ur book haul video. Happy reading to you!! 😊

I hope she writes another where fitz gets united with his peeps in the skill river and follows bee a bit.

This one sounds interesting. I love it when authors are able to write very different main characters.

Is that book like a manga or something all pictures? or is it like a normal book with words?, I don`t mind books with some pictures.

Yay, how exciting! ❤🎉

👍👍👍📚🤖🚀🐲

I haven't read this one but I do plan to get it at some point because I loved the Greatcoats series, so I'm curious to see what I'll think about this one.

Thank you for the review video!! 🎥🎥

One of my favorite Fantasy authors!

I was interested because of the theme, but I’m going to pass because sounds like too much romance for me.

Oooh yes, my cozy fantasy loving heart is bursting with joy right now. Whether I end up having to judge this as a finalist or not, I am 100% going to make sure I read this asap. It sounds uniquely delightful 🤩

This sounds so fun and cozy! Will be adding it for sure.

I haven't read them yet, but it sounds a lot like Seanan McGuire.

Oh, that's so exciting! I think that's one of the great things about SPFBO, how it can elevate books that haven't gotten a lot of attention or reviews.

Thank you as always for the reviews. This sounds interesting.

omg thank you so much. Book 2 is coming I promise! I really appreciate your thoughts on everything! I have to give credit to Tycho Dwelis who is both my illustrator and cover artist (and also an author), I unfortunately cannot draw to save my life. haha. Thank you!

Happy reading to you!! 😊

I'm glad I found thus video, here's some back story: About the time you posted this video , I read this series. I was 14, young, and in love with the fantasy genre. Now here I am, a decade later, with a broken leg and bored out of my mind. I decided to break out this book series. I've mostly forgotten the plot since it's been so long, so I decided to KZfaq this book, and your video came up. It's still absolutely crazy that I remember most of these characters now and the story throughout the series since I've heard your review. Thank you! Much love from California from this currently crippled nerd. (Edit) Now that I've looked at your KZfaq profile and see you have over 1.2k videos and some fantasy book reviews, I'm now subscribed. I didn't know I'd be on the book review side of KZfaq, but here I am. Thanks for all the content! Now I have stuff to binge while I heal!

It says in the book they went to the old house because the father died and they couldn't afford to live in the city.

It sounds quite interesting, may have to check it out.

Sounds very entertaining!👍👍👍📚🤖🚀🐲

Well, I loved the books, mostly the first 5 or 6 in the series.

So I have some great news for you: if you enjoyed Lily's writing then she's actually got TWO other books out under her other pen name, Caitlyn L. Strauss-The Night City and The Night People are the first two books in her Nocturnum Files series. Unlike the books under her Lily C. Strauss pen name (which fall closer to M/M paranormal romance), the books under Caitlyn L. Strauss are really murder mystery detective procedurals in urban fantasy setting...or maybe it's sci-fantasy or straight up sci-fi, depending on how you want to define an alternate universe with a parallel species of nocturnal humans with psychic powers. (Disclosure: I am in Lily/Caitlyn's writing group so I've read all her books under both pen names and as someone who reads mostly epic fantasy and virtually no romance, I've found the Nocturnum Files books to be more aligned to my usual reading preferences.)

Thanks for your thoughts on this book. I have to admit, I love the cover on this, those tattoos and colors are just so cool.

Interesting!👍👍👍📚🤖🚀🐲

I'm late to the party, but loved this book!

Oooh I really need to get into some DeCastell!! And looking forward to more SPFBOX reviews!

Looking forward to hearing more reviews for the SFPBO books.

Who doesn’t love a good book about cryptids 😂

How interesting!👍👍👍📚🤖🚀🐲

Great reading month!!😊

This sounds right up my alley! Just got my copy from Kobo.

👍👍👍📚🤖🚀🐲

Fantastic review!!!

Thank you again! Weird and unique settings seem to be a common traits for finalists.

Great video 😊

Sounds interesting, I'll have to check it out.

The TV series had me not liking Miller at first.... but he grew on me very quickly.

❤️❤️❤️👍👍👍

Currently on book 3 of the series. Loved the first book, your right, it took a little while to get going but once it did it was a really good one
