Honoured to be among these amazing cover reveals! Thanks for the kind words Petrik! It does take some influence from ancient egyptian mythology

[dinocollins]

Holy cow! I remember you rolling out this video series like it was yesterday! Can't believe it's been a year! I haven't missed even 1 video! haha

So delighted and excited for John Anthony's work on The Fifth Season. Lots of gorgeous covers this edition, but I'm especially excited for the Anthony Mitchell reissue. I really loved Wolfeater. Thanks for all of your hard work. This series is a real service to the genre. Cheers!

The Silverblood Promise sounds perfect for my reading tastes...will definitely be adding it to my TBR! :)
I've wanted to start The Wandering Inn for ages....one day I'll get there hahah

I am such a big fan of the Buzzard's Bowl cover art, something about that lightning is just so aesthetically pleasing to me! Can't wait to re-read book 1 and then dive into the ARC of book 2 immediately after!
Also, we are being spoiled with all the gorgeous editions once again.
Thanks for sharing the news!! 🤩

Love the video! The Silverblood Promise by James Logan sounds like it will be a fun and exciting read! Plus, the cover is beautiful. Keep up the great work :).

[radiahalsagoff]

I always look forward to your SFF spolights - every time I watch a spotlight, I end up adding books to my TBR list 😊

[AndrewsWizardlyReads]

You have my attention for silver blood promise

[Paromita_M]

One year anniversary! 🥳
Congratulations and here's to many more!

[eweindesign]

Broken Earth Trilogy desperately needed a cover update! I have honestly been hesitant to pick it up for that reason, so I’m excited we have new editions on the way!

[amoura]

I get so excited for SFF spotlight! Thank you for creating it!

[joebo]

Thanks Patrick, another excellent SF&F Spotlight, much appreciated!

[NamasteH]

Petrik - you are really hard on my ever-growing TBR! I'm only three minutes in and have added two books to my TBR (happily? I have a year before one of them comes out!)

But I really love your spotlights!

[HotTakesDiscussion]

Thanks for featuring my series, Petrik! So many good covers in this spotlight 😳

[shaunstone]

Thanks for mentioning Tribe of the Accord. Amazed by the reception on the book so far 🙂 the game is progressing well. It is inspired by games such as moonlighter and sparklite, with elements of Don't starve and Ori and the blind forest.

Happy SFF spotlight 1 year anniversary! I will read anything R. F. Kuang writes of course! I am so excited to be able to share "Lonly Castle in the Mirror" with my husband. Only I read, but we both love anime.

Thank you for your work. I believe you are the best fantasy news on Youtube.

Just to clarify, The Wandering Inn webnovel is split into large story arcs by Volumes. Think of it like an anime arc, ie. Water-7 or Dressrosa arcs from One Piece. She is currently about 2/3 of the way through Volume 9. Volume 1 was rewritten entirely, and much better quality now; however, it is only hosted on the website and she has not updated the Kindle books for Volume 1 (just Book 1). Writing quality and world scope improves through Volumes 2-4. Volume 5 is a truly heartbreaking and tragic tale, and literally had me crying in frustration, as well relief.

The "Books" on Kindle ebook DO NOT correspond to Volume at all. It is just an artificial break to fit in novel word count conventions and for line-edit purposes. So each Kindle book does not comprise a complete story, as a novel typically would.

Currently, Volume 1 = Kindle book 1. Volume 2 = Kindle book 2, Volume 3 = Kindle book 3-4. Volume 4 = Kindle book 5-6, Volume 5 = Kindle book 7-9. Volume 6 and 7 will also likely take 3 kindle books each based on chapter length. Volumes 8 and 9 will likely need 4-5 Kindle books each based on increasing chapter length, and number of chapters in newer Volumes.
