So glad to see The Darkness That Comes Before on your list. I'm finishing my re-read of the series with a group from our forum, there's so much I missed the first time. You'll definitely notice the Dune influences. It's like if McCarthy, Dune and LOTR had a horrific baby.

[williamgwynne]

I also need to pick up The Darkness That Comes Before! Happy reading for August :)

[Johanna_reads]

Thanks for letting me bully you into reading The Darkness That Comes Before! 😂 You’ve often mentioned appreciating the theme in Dune about not trusting leaders. I think Bakker takes that theme to a whole new level in the Second Apocalypse series! Can’t wait to hear your thoughts!

[PhilipChaseTheBestofFantasy]

Not that you need to do any homework to read The Prince of Nothing Trilogy, but it’s kind of cool to know that it’s closely modeled on the First Crusade. So far, I’m loving the second series within Second Apocalypse, Aspect Emperor, even more than Prince of Nothing. Happy reading, Mike!

[andrewhanson]

The Prince of Nothing is a great series and the follow-up Aspects-Emperor is even better. The Second Apocalypse has a great fusion of horror and fantasy that I think you will vibe with. The Darkness that Comes Before is probably the least plot focus of the seven books but things start to come together by the end of the book and then the series takes off during The Warrior Prophet.

[Josheatsbooks]

Dude Mike I legitimately yelled out loud "Yes! Fuck yes!" when I saw Bakker lol. Get ready for some word candy. Top 5 maybe even top 3 authors ever.

[iWizard]

Wow, man. Black House sounds great! Also, you're going to love The Darkness that Comes Before. See my review if you want an explanation of the philosophy. I'm looking forward to seeing what you think about it. I'm finishing The Warrior Prophet (Prince of Nothing #2) today. Not sure I love it as much as the first book, but it's quite good. Cheers!

[conorsowersby]

OMG OMG OMG! It’s happening. Bakker. I hope you love it bro!

[joshuahb]

Just wanted to say thanks Mike for always making such consistently enjoyable content week after week. I no longer watch youtube, like at all. But I watch every single video you put out. Unless it’s a book review, I save those for when I’ve finished said book haha

[YouWinILose]

Excited to hear your thoughts on Prince of Nothing. Expectations being too high is a real issue, and you might not feel it until book two. But you will see the influences and how he plays with them, and I think that alone will be joyful. 🙂

[MacScarfield]

Just read «The Darkness That Comes Before» (The Prince of Nothing # 1) last month, and I am currently reading «The Warrior Prophet» (The Prince of Nothing #2): Grim stuff, but fun to catch references to the Crusades, the Silmarillion, Elric of Melnibone (& other Michael Moorcock heroes) & Dune, plus it should definitely suit horror fan: The unholy lovechild of Lovecraft and Clive Barker’s “Hellraiser”!

I also have «Tiamat's Wrath» (The Expanse, #8) by James S.A. Corey (Space opera) left on my July TBR. Cheers!

[Chance.Dillon]

I am stoked to see your prince of nothing thoughts—I’ve been putting off getting into it but whenever somebody talks about it I get the same FOMO

[KalleVilenius]

Bakker is indeed the king. May he return to us one day.

[lucasyoung]

I foresee a reading slump coming. I started Battlestar Galactica for the first time yesterday and can’t stop watching!

[Talking_Story]

What a list of monsters! I have Boys in the Valley coming up in September.

[StoryGirl]

Every single time I watch a TBR video my pile of Want-To-Read books gets taller and taller! Looks like a fun August, Mike 😁 Enjoy

[ladymairreads]

I just started the darkness that comes before ! So far so good

[allthekingsbooks]

The Prince of Nothing is a great series, I think I'll re-read it next year before jumping into Aspect-Emperor.

[JAKandtheBookStack]

Wow I haven’t seen anyone read Black House on booktube before, I’m excited to see your review!

[alynam]

I haven't read Bakker yet, but I've been collecting them on Kindle. I'll be bracing myself tho, because the expectations set really high... and we know what happens when THAT happens 😏
