Okay I'm reading.

Thanks so much for recommending Asunder. I’d never heard of it before and it’s now a new favourite. Thank you for talking about SFF books from smaller authors. It seems the same five books always get recced and it’s so nice to discover new authors!

Thanks for sharing new authors to me throughout your videos. In this video I found a new author such as Bethany Jacobs.

Soooo many fantastic series 🙌🙌. I will say i found The Exile by Cahil to be a bit better written than book 1 Of Blood and Fire (he wrote the novella after), so I'd keep that in mind when reading book 1. Also from everything I've seen, it's best to read the novella subsequent to the main book. So in essence read book 2 then the 2nd novella then book 3 then the 3rd novella

I just started the book of the burning series from evan winter. loving it so far.

Empire of silence is going to be translated in Spanish this year! I will give it a go, you make it sound so interesting! I dont mind slow books, and with how you described it i thought about Fizt inmediatly! 😂 Faseer books are some of my favorites and if you didnt like much Fizt i dont know how you are going to get through the third one 😂.

I just finished book 1 and plan on reading the series this year!

Thank you for this overview! I only about 10% into Empire of Silence. It is a bit slow which I was expecting so I’m taking my time with it. I’m pairing it with the audio book. I hope to finish the whole series in 2025.

This video is amazing! I’m currently reading Empire of Silence and this video really helped ground me in the world. So excited to continue with the series, I already love it

Hi what style glasses are you wearing?

I'm in the middle of the first book and I love it. I like Hadrian. I love the writing. The writing has so much depth. I don't think it is anything like the other series. So many stories have royal houses, etc... ❤❤❤

I am excited to read and begin the Burning Series! I already have Book 2 and I am looking forward to acquire Book 1.

Even though this series has been getting SO much hype from so many people over the past year(s), it's truly your enthusiasm for it that has shot it to the top of my priority list. Thanks for this little guide!! And especially helpful to hear what to expect in comparison to the other series that it so often gets compared to. Can't wait to start my Sun Eater journey soon 🤩🤩

so many good ones in this video! i’m so excited for david dalglish’s new series, i really loved his other work. on vicious worlds by bethany jacobs was one of my favourite books of 2024, i was reacting out loud while i was reading it haha.

I had so much fun with the Empire of The Wolf last year based on your videos, so I will be moving up the Empire of Silence on my tbr.

Love love love this series, I need to get back into it soon!

Just downloaded the first book. I’m already engrossed.

I’ve been toying with trying this but this is convincing me to dive in ❤

Hey Tori, because of you I bought the 1st 3 books awhile back. I am ready to start my Suneater journey now. Can't wait to be able to chat with you about it.

I picked up the first book off your recommendation of it ages ago but I found the first book to be almost exactly like Dune. Does the series get its own voice at some point or is it just a difference version of Dune all the way through?

My other comment is gone I think but thanks for the video! Ended up picking it up and am loving it so far 😊

I loved The Empire of Silence and have read the whole series so far. It’s so good.

Thanks for the video. I have read up to book 4, but from the beginning, I knew I didn't like the series. I haven't fallen in love with any of the characters, but I will continue to read all the books.

Thanks for this video! Always love to hear your input! I'm almost done with Empire of Silence and struggled getting into the narrative in the first half of the book but got very interested once I got the hang of it and got used to Hadrian's pov. So this video helped me get a better idea on the build-up that I missed. And it definitely makes me more excited for how much more expansive the story will become!

Thanks for the intro to the different entities in the books! It can be a challenge to keep them all straight and there aren’t too many resources online.

I am currently reading "The Ruin of Kings" and as soon we got whales and Krakens I fell in love.

Great video and also your bookshelf is so nice. Looks amazing! I have this series on TBR.

Fantastic breakdown! I just finished book 3 and I can't wait to continue!!

I am more of a fantasy reader, but the sun eater series has been recommended by so many folks that I figured that I give it a try. I don’t want to start it until I finish the two other books (Fury of the Gods and Valor, both by John Gwynne) that are on my shelf since if I do really like sun eater then I would want to continue going through it.

Wheel of Time has held the number #1 favorite series since 1998, but Sun Eater now holds that spot. These books are mind-boggling good. Make sure to read Dregs of Empire before Disquiet Gods. I can’t wait to see you continue with the series! There’s something writing itself is beautiful. I love that the author pays homage to so many of his literary inspirations, it made me so happy as a fellow reader. The world feels so vast and so real. I feel like the scope and politics make it feel like epic sci-fantasy, in the best possible way. There are also elements of horror and I found that really cool. This series is incredibly special.

This was so helpful! I’m very interested in diving into this series, but felt intimidated. I also didn’t love Red Rising (only read the first one), so the comparison was off-putting. I feel better about giving Suneater a try after this video. Thanks 😊

Love to see a black woman a fan of sun eater ❤

It's on my tbr, but the page length has me hesitate to read it.

Hey Tori! Love that you’re loving a sun eater so far. Was able to meet Christopher in person at marscon this weekend and he is such an awesome person. If you happen to finish disquiet gods by mid March time, myself and my buddy Jake from his channel NerdLevelRising are going to be doing a spoiler discussion with Christopher and I’d love to invite you along!

I’ve had this on my TBR for a while, but you’ve convinced me that I need to pick this up sooner!!

Was actually just called by my bookshop that Empire of Silence is ready for me to come get- appreciated this vid!! Can’t wait to start

Gorgeous bookcases.

I’m currently reading disquiet gods and it’s literally my new favorite in the series, can’t wait for the last book

Octavia E. Butler and N. K. Jemisin have Goddesses status in my eyes.

D*mn those sand and blue Dune covers are STUNNING! 🤩

i love how in sun eater with each book the worlds is getting bigger and richer, full of life. this is something that really bothered me in dune how the world in dune feels uninhabited which cheapened for me Paul's rumination on what he brought into being.

Great video, Tori! I have sun eater on my start one day list. Maybe this year. But in the meantime I’m currently reading The Justice of Kings 😁

Good thing this is very different from Red Rising, hate Red Rising and DNFd Will of the Many because of how similar they are. Excited to continue book 2 of Sun Eater. ❤

With an Audible subscription, almost all of this series audiobooks are free.

This is perfect timing because I am just starting on the Sun Eater series and about 100 pages into the first book. Your precious videos on this series is what got me interested in it. Currently reading it as an ebook but I am so tempted to just buy physical copies because I am really enjoying it so far, even though I have a very long way to go

I added this book series to my TBR because of you. Can’t wait to start reading it.

Empire of silence is arriving tomorrow, I'm really excited been wanting to read this for a while. It sounds like something I'd love hope I do

Welp..this is the push/vid i needed. Going in after i finish Justice if kings!

you are the reason why i started this book and i was going to comment this on another video just to see you made a history!!!! I love it so far, I'm starting the second book soon

I’m loving this series, great video!
