Hey bookworms! I hope you all will give John Gwynne a try if you have not yet. Since it's the question I get the most, I'll answer it here; YES, you can start with this book without reading anything else by him. It is a completely new universe. Enjoy!

Varg and Orka are everything. Elva is growing on me finally, almost halfway through. But i am in loveeee with this book so far.

[PhilipChaseTheBestofFantasy]

I’m glad you didn’t stab your eye with a fork! This book mesmerized me too, and I thoroughly enjoyed hearing your thoughts on it, Mike. Cover of the year? Definitely. Book of the year? It’s on the shortlist for me! Thanks for the awesome video and the shoutout, my friend!

[brettwaddingham]

Spot on description of Gwynne's writing...he truly does remind me of why I liked fantasy in the first place!

I still haven't read anything by John Gwynne but I will be reading Malice in July.

[callum]

Reading malice for the first time because of this channel and it’s fucking awesome!

What a great way to start my day. 6.30 am here in East Yorkshire England. My copy doesn't arrive for 2 more days however the excitement is real and I'm finishing up my 2 currently reading books until then.
Great video thank you. 🤓

[fostoria]

My copy arrives tomorrow, so excited.
Thanks for being the reason i've gotten back into reading again. 🤘

When Varg had that stew in Chapter 2, it really made me want to have some bread dipped in stew 🤤

[TrafalgarLwyer]

I'm only on chapter 4 and I had to stop myself from reading, definitely had the urge for "one more chapter" but I needed to sleep and get rest. Super excited for reading more tonight

I found mine at my local Barnes and noble on Thursday, and I’m almost done it’s so good. John Gwynn doesn’t miss

[lucasbertsche]

This was my first JG book and it’s definitely got me wanting to read Faithful and the Fallen!

[mystoreysofstories]

Great review! My book club chose this book for next month and I was hesitant because I don’t really care about mythology at all, but the way you talked about it has me actually excited now to give it a try! It’ll be my first John Gwynne book. :)

"He is not here."

Skull Spliter

Hot damn iam in fellas

[sjkrum]

I really enjoyed book 1 of Faithful and the Fallen. Sadly, the library for the blind doesn't have any of his books which is a shame because reading the first book gave me the sane feelings of love for the material that Wheel of Time did. Maybe some day my budget will allow for an Audible subscription. Until then, I'll just enjoy your reviews and live vicariously through you lol

[jonathank]

Getting my copy tomorrow in the mail may 4th release day. Like I told him it’s an honor for him to release it on my birthday 🎂

[erikapatterson]

Another great review! I read this about two months ago when I was approved for the ebook. SO good! The wait for the second book to be released is going to be long. Atleast we have a release in September from Joe Abercrombie to hold us over.

[MichaelSmith-kwhz]

Got mine today in the mail, can’t wait to start it ... Thank you for all your time, with the reviews.

[madscientist]

Mike, I'm with ya. What keeps me engaged is having to like the characters. It doesn't matter how good any of the other details are; if I don't care about the characters, I'm not going to keep reading.

[kelseycarter]

I’m completely blind, so I have to wait for this to come out on audio. I don’t know if it will or not. It’s actually pretty frustrating. But I know it’s really no one’s fault. I just really want to read this book.
