I think Way of Kings is the book to beat. They’re all so great, it’s impossible to pick. But I found WoK to have the best climax with the best build-ups and the most satisfying resolutions. And the tie breaker to me is that the 10-chapter run at the end of WoK never got matched by the others books. But I can’t choose between the other ones after WoK though.

And you don't put spices on top 😂 Stil 2 lasagna BTW

The cheese layer the guy in the red is referring too is called béchamel sauce

Excited I found this channel! Excited for more bookish content to dive into. Although, yall did my man Roran dirty.... he's a good chunk of the tale yuh know.

The hype is real boys! Still have my fingers crossed to see you guys get a panel 🤞

wait.... you are not latino??? I thought you were lol

This series gets better and better and the final book is due out this year!

Just finished it for the 4th time. In anticipation of Wind and Truth. Still an amazing book

That is also my favorite book, got any suggestions for more books?

The con games are some of my favorite things. For the Lost Metal one, you kind of stumbled upon it. There were Wayne hats with QR codes scattered around, and they led you to the next hat location. For Defiant it was much more apparent what to do because you joined a “flight” and you had to pick your team. If you completed your team’s mission, you got a pin themed to your team. I’m excited to see what they do for Stormlight!

If you want to have a Rafo card to display I can loan you mine and we can get dinner/lunch sometime! (I work in American Fork)

I became a Sanderson Fan this year and i'm glad to have found you as well!

Go talk with 17th Shard, they have a list of questions that will probably get RAFOed, but are less likely to be RAFO if asked by not a Sharder

My brothers… Robin Hobb is THE #1 reason I’m going to Dragon Steel. I didn’t even know if she’d be there but I had a deep hope she’d show up. If you decide to read her stuff prior to DS let me know and I can help point you in the right direction.

I appreciate the return of the floating ghost hand

Robin Hobb wrote the Realm of the Elderlings which is a series of series that take place in the same world. The first trilogy is the Farseer trilogy which consists of Assassin's Apprentice, Royal Assassin, and Assassin's Quest. There are 4 more series following up on that (16 books total). I am on the third trilogy, called the Tawny Man trilogy, but paused after book 2 for my Stormlight reread. I am very excited to see her at Dragonsteel.

If you want a good tie-in game, you should try out Dune Imperium. Most tie-in games are pretty mediocre, but this one is one of my favorite board games, period.

The Farseer trilogy is on my reading list I have heard that is a great introduction to her writing by robin hobb fans. Please correct me if I am wrong if there is someone who is a big robin hobb fan in the comments

Tooo late already hyped my first nexus con was last year been looking to come back all year!

It’s always that one video, did a tiktok on AI and gained like 3K in a couple days which was massive for me. It’s always a milestone that’s fun to experience. You guys seem really chill though, good luck with your KZbin journey!

Kinda funny I had the opposite reaction to you guys. actually really liked the pacing in the first half. I thought the pacing in the second half to be pretty bad at times. Also Murtagh makes some pretty dumb choices in the second half. That said i overall enjoyed the book and would recommend to any eragon fan!

Both Vasher and Arsteek are returned with divine breath, really really old. Even if Arsteel was better, Vasher is still older than all the mortals in SLA that he would outdo them in swordsmanship.

It’s great knowing that you guys love the weakest book (but still great). It gets so much, SO MUCH better.

I urge you to look up some art of the characters lol. They definitely arent golden winged humans

BLOODYDAMN LET'S GO

Congrats dudes!

9.2 outta 10 for this one. WOR is a 10/10 for context

Mustang4Lyf - I love her.

Cracking book, awesome series - book 2 is as good if not better...

I read this one the year Morning Star came out (I think) so I remember very little but hearing your guys’s thoughts really helped jog my memory. Will be rereading it before Red God for sure. Great video! Ps. I sent you guys an email last week, if you’re still interested in a collab? I had a storage issue that I resolved the other day so i might’ve missed something in the inbox 😅

I've read the first three books and then gave up because I felt like I had given it more than a fair go and I tried to like it so much because a lot of people who normally like the same books as me liked it ... I feel like this book and series was probably overhyped for me. I was pretty disappointed in it. Austin from 2toramble gave the Red Rising a 10 out of 10 which I still find kind of horrifying... I mean for me it's a popcorn book and not even the best of the genre. The language is melodramatic. I feel like Darrow's tone is super self-absorbed and super pompous - hard to get around when it's first person, but first person POV can be done without pomposity. Spoilers for book 1: I really dislike how the character of Eo was essentially fridged. She has no other role except to suffer, die and then give Darrow a cause ... As you progress through the series, I really dislike how Pierce Brown uses sexual assault as a shorthand for character development i.e. we have grey characters and the way we find out who is 'truly bad' and 'beyond redemption' are the ones who commit sexual assault - mostly on women... I will be interested to see if this series stacks up over time and if people will still love it as much as they do now... I really love Sanderson, Connie Willis, Martha Wells, Abercrombie, George RR Martin etc so it's not violence that did it .. I think it's just the writing style. The second book is a bit better and there are some good and compelling character developments but overall this is one of those series that I don't think I will ever want to re-read... I know I am totally in the minority here and usually feel very lonely in my belief that the Red Rising series is overrated :D

Such a great book. And like Darrow learning truth, the world just gets bigger and better though the Series.
