Have you read any of these books?

[@turbokid8719]

I haven’t read any of those but I’m almost done reading the first law trilogy it’s fantastic.

[@CapturedInWords]

@@turbokid8719 Happy to hear you're enjoying First Law! Such a great series, Abercrombie has some of the best character work

[@turbokid8719]

@@CapturedInWords also reading perdido station I like it different from what fantasy I have been reading lately.

[@literary_bites]

The Kushiel series is awesome. Very, very spicy in a good way if you are open to kink. But also a great story, world building and mythology.

[@ri3sch]

Frugal wizard premium hardcover artwork throughout the book is my favorite of the secret project books. Yumi’s cover is my favorite cover of the projects, but I love the sunlit man’s sprayed edges with the color combination

[@safinan8008]

Hi 👋 sorry I’ve been away.. My husband passed away last year just been grieving. It’s good to see ur videos again! Happy reading to you!! 😊

[@the_fools_tale]

Thanks so much for featuring Harbinger of Justice! I hope you enjoy it!

[@who_the_fuck_is_riley5813]

Paolini never disappoints and I absolutely cannot wait to read Murtagh

[@seththomas6727]

So I read two books at once and I am currently reading Murtagh and To Sleep In A Sea of Stars!

[@CapturedInWords]

I'm looking forward to it as well!

[@louisity]

I like those hardcovers of Brandon Sanderson's secret novels without any dust jacket. I will explore Samit Basu's works. Thank you also for sharing Andrew Watson's work.

[@mrrich8215]

Murtagh was fantastic! The Inheritance cycle has always been some of my favourite reads and Paolini did not disappoint, it was a much darker and reflective return to Alagaesia and I'm here for it. Can't wait to see what he does next

[@princessthyemis]

I met him at a book signing and got a copy!! I'm interested in it and am intrigued to find how his writing style and the world of Alegasia has changed since I last read those when I was a teen! Hope I enjoy it...

[@mattbuxton]

Excited to hear your thoughts on Murtagh. I really enjoyed it as a continuation of the Inheritance Cycle.

[@lizOnar]

The sunlit man hardcover looks cool

[@ryanskeff]

I hope you have a wonderful year of reading ahead of you! Lost Souls is inspired by Halo, Gladiator, and is comparable to the plot of Cyberpunk Edgerunners, but in space! Cheers!

[@CapturedInWords]

I'm a fan of all those things, so I'm looking forward to reading it! Thanks for sending your book!

[@strangementalitypaperYT]

If you're struggling through Harbinger of Justice, at least make it to the 50% mark (where the prologue hooks into the story), because the book gets a lot more confident and well-paced after the first half. The first half is all over the place but the second half is on point. I'm so excited for the sequel!

[@theaceguitarist]

I recently finished reading Murtagh, and I was so absorbed with the story that it was only as I read the literal last line that it occurred to me I might have to wait 5-8 years for the next one. Great character exploration though, lots of incredible character moments for Murtagh and Thorn

[@theashoxford6127]

That Bast fan art 🤤🔥

[@nigeldrake1207]

My favorite new books are dungeon crawler Carl series… so good

[@keziahduncan5081]

Murtagh I just got today as a Christmas present and blood over Bright haven. I can't wait to start reading murtagh. I read the inheritance my Cycle when I was in middle school and I loved the series.

[@fallshadow]

The only ones I've read of these are the Secret Projects- I read all of those as they came out. Yumi was my favorite for cover, art, and story! I plan to read Murtagh soon as well now that I have Christmas money to buy it with. I'm really looking forward to that one because Murtagh was always my favorite character in the Inheritance series.

[@ladyloud8796]

The stardew book is gorgeous

[@chayanmitra5486]

I absolutely love your videos, Keep it up!

[@FireFr0ggy]

I need to pick up Sons of Darkness. Excerpts from the Mahabharata was a required reading back in my high school days. And it was such an interesting read.

[@kaitai7302]

Just wanted to say thanks for recommending Pedido Street Station. It was amazing, and it’s sequel The Scar is just as compelling.

[@travisvaught]

I finally started reading the Wise Man’s Fear. Definitely want to read his other books after.

[@tiffanycorsello1886]

DELIGHTED about The Witcher Cookbook! (add to cart!) I ABSOLUTELY LOVE fantasy cookbooks. Somehow, this one slipped under my radar. If you haven't tried The Feast of Ice and Fire: The Official Game of Thrones Cookbook and The Elder Scrolls Cookbook by Chelsea Monroe-Cassel, I highly recommend them. She's coming out with another GOT cookbook in 2024 (already preordered it). And I would really enjoy watching you do some fantasy inspired cooking!

[@jale346]

For me, Tress of the Emerald Sea has the best cover

[@MacScarfield]

My Book Haul: The two first books in the «City of Victory»-Trilogy by Adrian Goldsworthy (have also ordered book 3, which will arrive Spring 2024) «Beowulf and the North before the Vikings» by Tom Shippey «A Brightness Long Ago» by Guy Gavriel Kay The «Lyonesse» Trilogy by Jack Vance «Dragon Lord» by David Drake «A Secret History: The Book Of Ash» by Mary Gentle «Bold Ascension» (sequel to «The Severing Son») by Vaughn Roycroft,!

[@fictionfanatic3469]

Merry Christmas! Hope you and Katie have a great Christmas mate! Haven’t seen anything from your second Channel since before you guys got married, will you guys be posting anything in the new year?

[@CapturedInWords]

Merry Christmas to you as well! :) You'll be seeing A LOT of content on Sunshine Seekers in 2024! We've both been super busy this year so I've had no time to edit videos for that channel, however we've still been filming videos and also have a bunch that need to go up from even before we got married. So we sort of have a huge back log of videos stored up right now haha! But the plan is to get these all edited and posted in the new year so that we're all caught up :D

[@FilmyDost007]

Sons of Darkness is inspired by Mahabharata which is not a poem but an Indian ancient epic written by a sage Vyasa in 3rd Century BC-4th Century CE

[@LukeAdler]

True! But calling it a poem is not incorrect, I mean an epic is still a poem. Mahabharata is one of the longest epic poems ever written.

[@Jan_ne]

I was at a local second-hand book thrift shop this week and picked up books 1-3 of Wheel of time (beautiful covers) and book one of Joe Abercrombie's first law. Unfortunately, they are in German (I'm German), as I prefer to read the original versions. But I paid 8€ ($9) for the four books combined so I'm quite pleased

[@CapturedInWords]

Oh wow, that was definitely a good deal! Great finds!

[@jennamartinich4415]

I also bought the Sanderson hardcovers! And I also passed on the frugal wizards guide. I haven’t held mine yet because they are a Christmas present haha! Three more days 😅

[@CapturedInWords]

Awesome!!! I'm sure you won't be disappointed!

[@gabiedubin]

witcher food would be very cool.

[@somedonkus_]

Oh dude, it's my good friend Captured in Words! Hope you're doing awesome man I love your vids.

[@noname3609]

I definetly need to read Yumi and Sunlit Man :D

[@monika6313]

Tress❤

[@shemiahwalker]

Thanks dude

[@EE-bg1de]

Trying to knock out Aftermath - Expeditionary Force book 16 i think, great series! Starting Stormlight Archive after the first of the year!

[@princessthyemis]

Harbinger of Justice sounds soooo intriguing!!! I wanna add it to my to-read list, but does anyone know if there is a preview I can read or listen to to see what the writing style is like?

[@ToddsBookTube91]

Todd here. Nice video and Happy Holidays!

[@CapturedInWords]

Thanks Todd! Happy Holidays to you as well!

[@cjangrist4689]

It’s been 3 years since you promised summary videos for 2,3 of stormlight archive 😢

[@user-mh2xl5sf2r]

Check out the levanthria book series it’s lesser known but worth a read mate. Author is A.P beswick

[@SergioDilorenzo-xk1df]

Just curious, where were you able to get the premium hardcovers for Brandon Sandersons secret project books?

[@CapturedInWords]

I got them from the Dragonsteel site :)

[@SergioDilorenzo-xk1df]

Thank you! Keep up the great videos!

[@DragonRebornn]

Have you finished Wheel of Time yet?!

[@SinghRohit007]

lol, I wanna spoil myself

[@eatand_repeat]

Hey everyone i am currently writing a fantasy genre book named light and darknesss can anyone help me with some character suggestion or any other beast like creatures

[@iggydunlea]

Hey I love your videos, how come you have the UK editions of Mistborn?

[@CapturedInWords]

Thanks! I ordered the UK editions because I liked them better at the time :) I do like the new US editions though

[@iggydunlea]

@CapturedInWords ah fair enough, i prefer the UK ones too

[@CapturedInWords]

@@iggydunlea The UK editions look great, I love how the design is consistent with all the Cosmere books. I have the UK edition of Warbreaker as well, and might end up getting a few others

[@iggydunlea]

@CapturedInWords yeah the whole cosmere has consistent cover art over here, Sam Green really did a great job

[@thekwjiboo]

Do you have a discord channel? Because I have a book I'd love to show you a picture of.

[@vermadheeraj29]

I Dnf'd the Mistborn series after 2 books because even though I liked a few characters, I found the story quite slow and mundane. Hence I am not sure if I should go for the stormlight archive?? Please suggest whether it is worth reading in my case.

[@jakestidham1202]

I didn’t love Mistborn and almost stopped where you did. Stormlight is in my top 3 favorite series of all time. So, from my experience, you can definitely love Stormlight without liking Mistborn.

[@carlosroo5460]

Nothing to do with the video, but can we all Wheel of Time fans present here, come together to try and change the meme Gigachad to GigaMat? I'm sure if we are annoying enough we can do it.
