THE FORGETTING MOON by Brian Lee Durfee - No Spoiler Review 

Thanks for watching!

Thanks!!!! And placing me in the scene-setting realm of King, Jordan & Williams is an honor

Damn, an R-rated take on classic fantasy tropes sounds like so much fun, definitely looking forward to picking this up. Thank you for the review!!

This series has been on my radar for a while, but you sold me! Love your description that it’s a an R-rated take on the classic tropes. Also cool that Durfee is planning to squeeze such an epic series into just a trilogy!

great review! This pushed things over the edge for this one to go on the TBR for me. I loved the little bit at the beginning about the physical book, too!

You did such a good job here of summing this book up! I’m so excited to get to The Blackest Heart and get more in this world

You're shaping up to be the best reviewer on booktube. Seriously awesome review!

Yeahhh! Great review, brother! Glad you enjoyed this one!

my tbr cant do this anymore! sounds like a really great book exploring some pretty cool ideas

Fantastic review! I'm starting The Blackest Heart next week and can't wait :D

Thanks for actually talking about the ACTUAL physical aspects of the book. So many reviewers completely skip that. I have no book store I can go to so knowing how the book actually feels and what is like helps. Nice to know before ordering online. As for the review, it sounds interesting philisophically.

Mate your reviews are the best! Gained yourself a new subscriber.

I'm about 300 pages in to The Forgetting Moon it's a pretty dark and gritty book I love his prose it all just flows together there is a lot of characters but that's fantasy this Trilogy definitely needs to be read by way more people,new to your Channel great review

Great review! I own this book and I'm looking forward to reading it. I'm a big fan of Brian's booktube channel.

Thank you for the review. Happy reading to you! 📖🎬📚

Such a great review! I love how you approached this and yes i absolutely agree with everything you've said =) loved talking to you about this =)

I loathe lengthy descriptions but I LOVE these books. He does a thing I call deliberate description. It plays into the story instead of detracting from it. The second book gets darker 😏 I really love Nail. Definitely has more in store for Ava. The Blackest Heart was AMAZING!! I'm going to have a hard time picking my favorite book of the year between The Blackest Heart and Project Hail Mary. "The book could have been longer." Never thought I would agree with this statement. (Edit) I'd also like to point out that this book has a PLOT!! Epic fantasy with a plot?!? What?!?

You've definitely sold me on this book! Added to my ever growing TBR.

Great review, Jimmy! I have this book on my 2021 tbr 🙂

Definitely planning to get to this. He seems really well read and I trust he knows what he's doing.

Nice review, you speak well. I just finished this book and I was hooked from the first page.. getting stuck straight into the 2nd one.

Great review!! You sold me (although I've had it on my list to buy).

I recently read The Forgetting Moon and was definitely NOT Disappointed! I have The Blackest Heart and am eagerly anticipating The Lonesome Crown! I love Brian Lee Durfee's Book Reviews and his writing is even better!

Great review!

Your book reviews are phenomenal!!

Sounds good! I don't know when I will get to it but it is on my tbr.

Great review Jimmy! I like that you mentioned the merfolk as that isn't something I've seen often in my fantasy reading. I always thought of something akin to Little Mermaid and couldn't take them seriously until playing Tactics Ogre: The Knight of Lodis (Gameboy Advance) where they are a bit more fleshed out and real/gritty/tragic. The religion angle of this intrigues me, along with knowing Durfee's personal connection to Nail gives it a legit feel (I imagine, we'll see!) If you enjoyed the religion aspect and you're curious about that being explored in a sci-fi setting, I think you might also be interested in Ada Palmer's Too Like the Lightning (Terra Ignota series). I've only dabbled in it (part of my "First Chapter Sampling Sundays / Reading ADD") so I may eat my words here, but so far it has me wanting to continue!

Definitely for fans of Tad Williams and John Gwynne. As good as any modern fantasy I've read. Perfect blend of classic and modern. Loved the review, this series needs a lot more love on booktube. This should've been a five book series.

The exploration of the religious theme sounds interesting. Thank you for the recommendation. I'd like to get to know Beer Mug, that's a great name indeed!

Great review! I loved this book, and The Blackest Heart. Durfee writes so well. Just awesome, in my book. But the cruelty, what happens to that guy (you know who) ... man that is disturbing. (because you know things like that happen in the real world. I look forward to your Blackest Heart Review.

Yessss Tala is also my favorite character from Forgetting Moon.

This will probably be on my wild card list for next year. I don’t own any yet but I think I he will wrap it up in a timely manner.

Great review, I have it on Kindle but now that you've mentioned about quality of paperback, I might get paperback 👍

My already extensive TBR better not be added to because of this. *watches video* Dammit Jimmy! You did it again.

how many pages are in the paperback? is the book the same sizes as blackest heart and lonsom clown? I don`t mean in thickness I mean in size I have the other 2 books. I mean do they fit in size of each other.

I'm just waiting for book three to come out before I read. Hurry up Durfee!

Top five booktuder for me. Have this on mine kindle and love John Gwynne so eager to read this series.

Just started reading this!

Here for Jimmy's shirts ...and the awesome book reviews 😜

blown away by this series

Great content! Can you review the second book in the series, please?

I have read both books, great epic fantasy.

I probably would've started the series already but for some reason book 3 still isn't available for Irish and UK (I'm sure its unavailability is applicable elsewhere) readers yet.

Brian’s 3rd book comes out in November!!

I'm going to watch your video and review tomorrow, but curious is it scifi or fantasy?

Ya he seems like an interesting cat for sure, books look really damn good

Well this sounds awesome i am totally sold and it is narrated by Tim Gerard Reynolds so i can get it as Audiobook.

OK FINE! I'll read it, jeez. Lol

Saga Press are releasing Elric illustrated hardcover s at the end of the year.

It would be criminal to not read this book after hearing such praises😬

Reporting for algorithm duty! :)

Brian Lee Durfee his books have easy vocabulary for someone who speaks English as a second language?

Wait till you get to The Blackest Heart
