You've got all my favourites in the perfection categorie and i'm round 100 pages in the first Mistborn book, love it and Kelsier owns my heart already, so i'll definitely try some others from the life changing section. I've had my eye on Jade City and Red Rising for a while so i'll probably start with one of these two series after i finished the mistborn series

I read the first two farseer trilogy books in 2015 and found them a Slow read but liked fitz and the fool as characters so I finished them - I wasn’t in a rush to pickup assassins quest. I was working in a customers house in 2022 they had Robin hobb books on their shelves. When I said I had read the first two books I was reprimanded and called a “silly boy” for not finishing the trilogy 😂 (I was 36 years of age at the time 🙃) the reason for the telling off was mainly because the third book is the best one - I since picked it up - I really enjoyed the third book and went onto the live ship series after which I would agree are on a higher tier. Looking forward to reading more realm of the elderlings books!

I’m so happy to hear someone else say the ACOTAR series is so good yet so bad. People are cut throat over these books and aren’t willing to accept that you can love something without it being perfect. I love SJM books but I’m also painfully aware of their lane in terms of writing, tropes, etc. Loved your analysis of these!

27:48 i got hook by the first season tv series! Then I was so hook led I bought the books! Second books is wow the best! Third book is better than the first but slightly below the third! Season 2 is so bad and the books makes up for it so much more! Recommend to try book 2, if you don’t like it after 100-150’pages then don’t read! But let’s say it’s more killing in it. The last duology is imo best books after six of crows! King of scars was boring but suddenly wow after half the book and second booo continued that momentum!

@bookfantastic 3 месяца назад

A classic is something that is many years old. These are new books you are reviewing that haven't passed the test of time, so be careful with your words. But I certainly appreciate your reviews. Have you read "Fantasy: The 100 Best Books" by Moorcock and Cawthorne? You need to steep yourself in the history of fantasy and read the old stuff too. You will have a blast. The reason I make this assumption that you haven't read the old stuff is because you don't name a single one of them in your top whatever lists. Right now I am reading Mythago Wood by Robert Holdstock. Pretty good so far. Thank you for your valuable reviews.

I do not really argue about Life Changing and Total Disaster books because it differs people to people of course. Your Ugh and Just Okay books almost more than half, some of them go up some of them go down for sure imo but really nice ranking overall to get to know your taste of books. Last thing I gotta say is that, you should finish First Law and continue toGentleman Bastard series.

@jacobharper4501 3 месяца назад

Jade City series is a weird one. I read all three anticipating it to get interesting and was left confused at why I finished it. It's a gang family against a gang family with few reasons to even root for most of the POV characters over the other groups. There is plenty to respect in the story and writing but if you are in it for story and plot, you can pass.
