Purchase Malice by John Gwynne here amzn.to/3b1C1ck What're your thoughts on the Banished Lands?

@J3RCULES Год назад

About to finish Shadow of the Gods the first in the Bloodsworn trilogy and it’s amazing. I’m excited to read more and can’t wait to read more of John’s work.

Awesome!

Started the series 2 weeks ago and on book 3. This series is everything‼️ You gave the best advice about going into this understanding it's a series. I'd only add to make a chart to keep everyone in proper order in your mind. I'm loving it and already ordered the subsequent series 😍

@thefantasynuttwork 2 года назад

That is so awesome, happy reading and enjoy the banished lands!

This book is amazing. I am 26 chapters in, and I am loving it. I have never been much of a reader, and this is my first fantasy book that I am reading as an adult. Obviously, Harry potter was my first. (Twenty years ago), I am 33 now.

@Nachtwaerts 4 года назад

I love this review! I'm only midway into the first book, but it's already a fantasy world I'm really attached to. The POV chapter switch has overwhelmed me a little bit, because I read ove a long period oftime, so when I get back to the book, sometimes I'm a little cofused, but because of the chapter lengh, it's really easy to get back into it and to reread.

@thefantasynuttwork 4 года назад

Thanks for watching! I definitely can see how the POV shifts can be a little much, especially with the world Gwynne built. Glad you're enjoying it though, it gets better and better with each book

@DoubleCrossedPaths 3 года назад

I picked this series up after I saw Daniel Greene and Mike from Mike's Book Reviews talk about it on their channels. I've been wanting to get into epic fantasy for a while, and I finally decided this would be a good place to start. I'm a little over half way through Valor, and this series has the hooks in deep. Still like seeing what people have to say about what I've already read.

@thefantasynuttwork 3 года назад

I’ve read all these books. The four Faithful & The Fallen ones and the follow up trilogy. They are all EXCELLENT. If you liked Malice I can almost guarantee you will enjoy the rest even more. John Gwynne’s character work is impeccable.

@thefantasynuttwork 4 года назад

That's awesome to hear, it's always special when you find an author you really click with. I agree on his character work, it's kind of shocking more people don't talk about it. I think they're sone of the best. Thanks so much for checking out the video!

Just finished Malice two day ago...the first 4/5 was kinda of a slow burn of world building and setting up the series...but damn!!! That last 100 was a pure powder keg going off. That was one of the most tense endings that I have ever read.

@@thefantasynuttwork I just started yesterday on page 110 picks up right where it left of. When people say make room for a new entry into one's fantasy top 10, I thought it was hyperbole but after how Malice ended and Valour started I'm beginning to think the hype is legit. I always heard this series was great but I judge a book by its cover and pictures of weapons seemed so vanilla to me so I just kept putting it off. Big mistake on my part I'm ready to go on Amazon now and buy his entire catalog.
