I read the first two Lightbringer books very quickly (as is typical, when I'm interested in a series). The third... well, I'm not even sure that I actually finished it (?) the "plot shift/inserts" really threw me off. A few years later, I started from book one and lost interest at the *exact* same point. (huge plot revelation aaand now that plot point is irrelevant b/c the focus shifts). I clicked on this video because I'm re-reading The Night Angel books (b/c I still haven't gotten around to Nemesis, so I figured I'd re-read the trilogy first), and I have the Lightbringer books on my shelf and mixed feelings on trying to read them for a third time. I'm committed to the Night Angel books before I actually consider Lightbringer again, but this video is suuper helpful and has some great points/information that I will mull over in the background over the next [however long it takes to re-read Shadow's Edge, Beyond the Shadows, and Nemesis]. Your "breaking the halo" bit made me snort my cereal in a painful bit of joy...

Ged had copper colored skin. She said it was like Native American. Her father was a famous anthropologist who had many Native American friends. She grew up around them.

ACOTAR (excepting Silver Flame) for me is better than Crescent City. The second CC dragged and dumped soooo much info the middle it really dampened my like of it 😅. Appreciate your reviews and I agree about your spiel about the romance genre!!

So excited, have a feeling that It'll be eBook/audiobook only for me, even though I'd love the deluxe boxset, I think the shipping to here in the UK may be quite a bit!! Good luck.

I'm an Indy Author and love reading Indy books. Totally agree on the click-bait comment. My Indy reviews (as Fictional Crafts) get very little views, but I also read and write adult sci-fi which is not the most popular on Booktube either. Weaknesses in books is natural. We are all human and can't be perfect. I actually think its good to talk about weaknesses in all books regardless of their path to publishing. I'll keep reading and talking about them, because I truly believe that the Indy space is one of the best places for science fiction to try new and different things... It's also great for the long chonky series of military and space opera too. I'm definitely going to check out Draconis.

I think I'm most interested in either Draconis or Chasing Luck, they both sound good! Thank you for spotlighting indie authors, I prefer to support indie and try to as much as I can.

I completely understand that, and you've got to honour your own conscious regarding morals. But for what it's worth, I don't think Amazon notices if we do or don't purchase through them either way. But for the Indie authors, it makes all the difference. Just keep that in mind.

Honestly this makes me want to bounce. I'm halfway through the first audiobook, and I can't tell who the viewpoint is at any given point until their name is stated specifically. The transition between viewpoints is so sudden in the audiobook, I get lost. The prose is beautiful but I really don't consider it a badge of honor to slog through this story. I appreciate the honest perspective that art and enjoyment is relative.

Chasing Luck appeals the most to me because I appreciate well done humor in books. You mentioned Pratchett and Adams, and I would add Piers Anthony to the humor list. Also: What time (Australia) do you plan on launching your Kickstarter? I'll set an alarm. I'd like to be one of the first to back it, but live in the U.S.
