Soooo this has nothing to do with the books you spoke about in this video, however I just finished the winnowing flame series last night and the end made me ugly cry lol. Thank you for recommending these fabulous books on your channel. These are not the only books I picked up after you mentioned them and so far all the books you had liked and mentioned I really enjoyed. So thank you for your time that you spend on your content!!

[jamiewillands]

It's so great to see you back! I hope everything is okay after the loss of your grandmother. Remember we can always wait a little longer if you need more time.💘

I really liked Sunlit Man, but I grew up reading library books and I often couldn't start series with the first book. I started Wheel of Time with book 6!

[JennFaeAge]

Apologies for unsubtle plug (and I'm not here claiming I write amazing fantasy books) but I had a YA fantasy come out literally this time last week, on the admittedly slim chance anyone is interested (Hunt For The Raven's Spire by EJ Graham)

[SloanePaoPow]

For me, Untethered Sky delivered a fully fleshed out story, more well done than many novels I've read, even though it was just a novella. Didn't feel too short at all.

[pattyrileywu]

Just wondering if you've read the Tangled Fae book series by Sarah K. L. Wilson? I was looking for a series like The Cruel Prince and found this one. I'm on the second book (out of five) now and it's so good! I almost like it more than The Cruel Prince. I can't find any reviews of it on YouTube though so it must be a well kept secret. I highly recommend it (so far).

[dolphinsrock]

welcome back I am glad to see your videos they are always so well done.

[kidort]

your channel is such a damn good resource. Thank you for your hard work!!

[mischarowe]

Good video. I'm going to have to come back and rewatch though. I'm in a slump and nothing is jumping out at me.

[indyi]

I REALLY want to try this, but I can’t eat gluten. What can I substitute for the barley?

[DrachmaDork]

I enjoyed Nightbirds as well! Love that you highlight some lesser known titles.

[deadlightlabyrinth]

I want to read the Combat Codes trilogy SO BAD but can't find the third book anywhere, even though it came out in 2021... I can't find a single battered paperback or anything... What gives with this, I wonder?

[maggythestray]

Started Spy X Family and Witch Hat because of you :) and I love both :)

[evelynstenberg]

Thorn Hedge really has my attention after your description. I wonder why she's locked up.

[dfretter]

I’m on volume 2 of the deluxe edition of The Girl From the Other Side and I’m LOVING it

[fcsolis]

Divine Rivals- So far, so good. I tried to read the paperback Girl From The Other Side. Big fail, I can't read it, vision to poor, I should read it on my Kindle Scribe or on Kindle Cloud Reader on my computer. I want to read VE Schwab. I learned on YouTube that her being a Potterhead is what got her started writing fantasy. Great. Spy x Family- the novelty is wearing off. Thank you.

[CB-fhhu]

Which of these books should I start with? I just lost The Fall of Hyperion

[J.R.Carrel]

Great Audiobooks this year.
More Than A Vampire, More Than A God War. If you are a charter driven reader.

[ReadingNymph]

I agree Thorns Remain is so underrated

[extradiyos]

you should really read land of the lustrous (manga) you can watch the anime first then continue on the manga, because it gets a little confusing
