Thank you SO much for featuring The First Binding, Petrik.

I am humbled and appreciate your support so much. :Bows:

[BooksandCrafts]

Petrik, this video is INCREDIBLE!!! I hope it gets a million views because I believe every single fantasy reader or person who wants to get into fantasy will find something for themselves here. I don't even want to imagine how much work this video was to construct from start to finish, but please know you are amazing and I appreciate your hard work so so much 🥰 Big hugs, Martyna

[Paromita_M]

Paused during the intermission to say hello to Chocoboy and comment.

I very much appreciated watching this video, noted down many recommendations (I think I've read perhaps 5 or 6 of the 50 books you mentioned so far) and prioritised some series which were on my TBR and you mentioned multiple times, specifically the Winnowing Flame trilogy.

However, I was also deeply humbled by the amount of effort you put into this video - the vast repertoire of books you have read in so many subgenres, your ability to assimilate the characters and stories in these books and to share them with us in such an accessible manner. It takes tremendous skill as a reader and content creator - massive respect to you.

I wish that this video gets all the engagement it deserves, your channel continues to grow and you continue to enjoy reading and sharing your knowledge with us.

Okay, back to watching and taking notes. See you Chocoboy - your pawrent is awesome!😄

[kirstenholmes]

Choco Boy did a great job in the intermission!!! Fantastic list. You put in a lot of work. I have a bunch of books to check out now. 🤩🤩🤩

[kaileyalessi]

Your enthusiasm is contagious! I have so many books I have to read now!!

[thesmuli]

Hey Petrik. I saved the video for a bad day. Today was that day😥Thank you for this great experience. You saved my day🤓

[johnkeller]

OMG YES!!! “Honor is dead, but I’ll see what I can do” gives me legitimate goosebumps every time I read it. The only quote that gets me more emotional is “you cannot have my pain” that scene made me cry hard

[just-another-fangirl]

For the ice magic prompt, my first thought was Sword of Kaigen as well!!
I loved that book so much💓

[fjuran]

What an incredible video. Congratulations. To be able to recommend 100 specific books for viewers, is an amazing accomplishment.

[RalucaAriadna]

I can't believe this was an hour long! Time flew by so fast! You did an awesome job with this video!

[ShelfCentered]

I did it, watched the whole thing! It was so epic, well done and thank you. I don't know how you did it, you didn't even slow down the whole time and I loved the choco boy intermission!

[notimeproductions]

I now have ~85 more books to read and for that I will never forgive you. Subscribed.

[mikelawrence]

I have just this past hour finished reading Warbreaker, and seeing you choose it for the "Trust issues" prompt - I couldn't agree more. Not just one betrayal, several with continuingly heavier impacts! Amazing book.

[whatMickreads]

An hour of Petrik talking Fantasy, yes please!! 😁 What an amazing video, well done for putting in so much work, we all really appreciate all you do for the fantasy community!

[myribstellmesheslying]

I teared up when you pulled out Oathbringer. That book... That book...

Additionally, whoooo! Finally done with the video. 1 hour, man. 1 hour. Great work.

[onfaerystories]

I can't believe I watched this entire video, but I couldn't stop! I had already quite a few of these books on my TBR (or already read) but you officially convinced me to add The Greenbone Saga and the War For The Rose Throne series to the list! ☺️

[PhilipChaseTheBestofFantasy]

I finally got time to watch this, and it was so much fun to watch! As you know, I completely agree with you about the urge to reread Malazan. In fact, I just finished my reread, and it hit me even harder the second time. Thanks for this, my friend!

[shadowcreature]

Choco boy was so cute🥺
Edit: I really loved dragon mage. It's not super complicated but it might honestly be my fav book.
