The Best Books of 2024 So Far! (Most Disappointing Book Included)

Hi everyone! Half a year has passed in 2024 now. This also means the channel is almost 4 years old now. Time really flies. And not gonna lie, it hasn't always been easy keeping the channel running. Thank you so much for continuously watching my channel and supporting me. As I said, today's video will be about the five best books I've read from April until the end of June 2024. There will be no reread included in the top 5 list.

But at the end of the video, I will let you know what's the most disappointing and best book I have read this year. This includes all the books I read since January 2024. Enjoy, and do let me know what you think about the books I mentioned in the video. What are the best books you've read this year so far?

What an honor and a joy to see that Return to Edan merited inclusion in this video! Not only that, but I'm delighted to see it among a couple books by my fellow self-published authors. My deepest thanks for giving The Edan Trilogy a chance, Petrik!

[MattBramer]

Petrik, always such wholesome content! I appreciate it so much in a world of FAST, LOUD, IN YOUR FACE content.

Wonderful as always.

I"ve just started reading the first Suneater book, at your recommendation. And I"ll continue because of that recommendation, even though I'm rather dismayed at Hadrian's self description as a monster, a tyrant etc. Hmmm. I"ll definitely read Philip Chase's Edan books. Thanks Petrik for your great reviews

[StoryGirl]

I have Empire of Silence sitting on my shelf waiting for me…hoping to love the series as much as you do, Petrik. Hope you have many more five star reads in the second half of the year!

Great video.
I enjoyed the Bonds of Chaos, Return to Edan I expect to get to next month, glad you liked it. The Witchwood Crown, have to read soon as well. Disquiet Gods was excellent, perhaps the best in the series!!

[BooksWithBenghisKahn]

So happy to see a couple Sun Eater books here for you — Kingdoms of Death is indeed an un-put-downable masterpiece!!

I’m hyped to try all the rest of these (except the murder mystery one 😅)

[noname]

Hi Petrik !
So far this year I had read Gwynne, Sanderson, Jordan, Rothfuss and Fonda Lee ! can't wait to start Jay Kristoff soon ! :)

[Josheatsbooks]

Stoked you finally got into Sun Eater. I knew you'd love it!!

[hadesbb]

hey man, i like your depiction of the Jade City covers....nice work.

[dinocollins]

Another fantastic video! thank you Petik!

[ZOMGfantasy]

Glad to hear the reading is looking up a bit, Petrik!

I hope the second half of your year is even better!

[akellerhouse]

I agree with everything you said about Return to Edan. It was really good. I'm so excited to keep reading Suneater. I read Empire of Silence and the Lesser Devil so far. I really liked both of them. I know Howling Dark is gonna be amazing.

[esmayrosalyne]

Love to see Sun Eater just taking the win! And I can't wait to read something by Tad Williams myself, his works sound like some of the epic fantasy fare that I've been missing in my life! Also, I am super curious to hear if Thursday Murder Club improves for you now that your expectations are adjusted!! Happy reading ;)

[ivingzuniga]

Unrelated to the content but I literally just had a thought.

Have you ever considered changing your hairstyle? I’ve been watching your videos since you started your channel but just now it occurred to me that you’d look cool with Levi Ackerman’s haircut 👀😂

[arabellawillow]

I'm beyond excited to read Sun Eater! The Edan trilogy and The Last King Of Osten Ard are right behind that on my list and Zach Argyle has been on my radar for a while.

I'm currently finishing up Of War And Ruin by Ryan Cahill.

P.s. That copy of Dragonbone Chair behind you looks incredible 😍

[kingdon]

Reading Herald at the moment, all 3 books came yesterday, super excited and it’s already amazing only 100 pages in!

[miriammichalak]

Happy to hear you're enjoying the GodEater books. I just read Demon and did something I never do - I jumped straight into Herald which I'm reading at the moment. Herald ...OMG, I think (hope) you're gonna love it - it's a "can't put down" book for me and I'm thoroughly enjoying it. Rob J Hayes has knocked it out of the park with this series!

[bigaldoesbooktube]

Yes Petrik! Return to Edan really is a special book that stands above the other entries in the trilogy. So happy you had a similar experience to me and I am sure now that you have read it many other people will want to do the same 💪

[andrewlavigne]

I'm just kind of relieved that between you and Jimmy the Last King of Osten Ard is finally getting some wider exposure. For 2017-2022 I did my best to spread the word but it was unfortunate not to see so many ignore it. Hopefully you get some more 5 stars later this year!

[LuckbeaSladey]

Just started Empire of Silence. So excited it got to the top of my queue. Been highly anticipated since your high praise
