Love your videos! You have an awe inspiring way of connecting previous books with newer books. I love reading a certain type of book and I always turn to your videos to read similar books to that particular writing style or plot line 😇

[@danlab99]

If you liked Anthony Ryan or Joe Abercrombie you should read David Gemmell. The Rigante series is my favorite series.

[@zephdelgado5152]

Thanks for the recommendation 👍🏽

[@alexanderloeb]

Hmmm I went for knights of dark renown… didn’t love the writing and character work. Is there a best place to start with Gemmell?

[@lacedmilk8586]

@@alexanderloeb I would say Legend. If you don't vibe with it, I loved it but can see where some might find it "meh", then you probably won't with his other works.

[@niebieskie2]

I love whenever you do these types of video. Thanks!

[@mikeandtaramitchell]

Thanks for the recommendations. I love this style of video. Super helpful!

Time Stamps: The Blane Itself (The First Law #1) by Joe Abercrombie 00:33 Spin the Dawn (The Blood of Stars #1) by Elizabeth Lim 03:28 Blood Song (Raven's Shadow #1) by Anthony Ryan 07:38 Gallant by V.E. Schwab, Victoria Schwab 10:19

[@karidyrland]

Another good comparison for Gallant is the Hazel Wood by Melissa Albert! They are actually very similar stories where a girl and her mother have been running from their creepy home and the things that live there. I also feel like they have very similar atmospheres! ☺️

[@deenpack6148]

Love your videos. Also, the soundtrack at the end just puts me in a fantasy trance (yup I said it) every single time. haha

[@mckennahorman7675]

I’m currently reading Justice of Kings and Spin the Dawn! 😆 I’m about half way through JoK and it is fantastic so far! Almost done with StD and I agree that the first half was much better than the second. So I’m excited to try A Magic Steeped in Poison!

[@Bloomgirl_books]

I loved both Gallant and Vespertine, and I agree that they are good companion books.

[@TheBookishMom]

I still have been meaning to read Gallant and Vespertine... both of them sound fantastic and pretty up my alley.

[@kevenst-pierregoulet9289]

Thanks for your recommandations! I look forward to read the Justice of Kings. I really enjoyed Joe Abercrombie's work! I really like your channel!

[@audreyajose632]

Hi elle, could you do a video for short read suggestions for when you are in a reading slump but really want to read? I just ordered a magic steeped in poison for my birthday and I'm so excited to read it soon!

[@rolling.reggie]

I love these style of videos, always great for us fantasy noobs and love your makeup/hairstyle!

[@RobbieLee90]

El on Sean's channel?! 🧐😋

[@AwkwardBookworm]

I love the cover of a magic steeped in poison!

[@poodlemuffin]

The hardcover of A Magic Steeped in Poison isn’t even listed to buy in the UK, just the paperback in September. Very frustrating as it’s such a pretty cover!

[@deadpoolm]

really like these kind of vids, will definitely try lancelot :)

[@laiaal.3324]

If you liked Lies of Locke Lamora definitely check out Mask of Mirrors! ^^ Almost all the books you mentioned are in my tbr yet, there are so many books to read and so little time 😅

[@emilyelisabethsirois3820]

I loved Spin the Dawn so I might pick up the recommendation.

[@mimimayhem]

Your Lancelot copy has turned from a paperback to a hardcover. Didn’t know there was one!

[@brushlow9344]

That cover for Spin the Dawn is amazing!

[@pherranine]

love these videos! also wow ur hair:) also question for everybody thats read the justice of kings, would you say i can read it now and not be left hanging for the sequel? like no cliffhanger ending?

[@sydneypreston9876]

“Not having the strongest of plots…” 😂 I always describe the book as “the book that made me realize I was a character driven reader”

[@fb856]

Girl. You are stunning

[@mischarowe]

Thank-you.

[@tristenbrown7099]

Love this vid !

[@RodgersReads]

Why are the FairyLoot editions of Spin the Dawn and Unravel the Dusk so pretty? I’m nervous for StD now I don’t know that I’ll love the traveling love story but I already own the book… 🤣

[@mrsduncanthetall]

i have been looking for something similar to first law ❤❤❤❤. btw i cannot wait to hear your thoughts on age of madness

[@gordontheobald]

Just a note, did you hear Jen Williams’ Winnowing Flame (Poison Song etc) are finally coming to the US in ebook. She was posting about it on her twitter.

[@thewitchyreader6131]

Great video!

[@ReadingNymph]

Looks like ill be picking up Vespertine 😅

[@Theblondebass1]

I would love to see a book to manga version!

[@pandareads]

I read Gallant at night because I didn't know it was horror and I was thoroughly creeped out lmao

[@aye.p]

Nothing to do with fantasy but I've just finished a book that was a 5 stars for me so I just need to say it: if you like The Phatom of the Opera you should read Phantom by Susan Kay. Basically is Eric's life story. 🤗🇦🇷

[@gregorylaperche5574]

The Justice of Kings is one that I really want to get to because of the themes. I tend to agree with things like term limits, multiple party systems, and multiple branches of government. But there is the question of infrastructure, which keeps coming up in our cities and countries. NYC always talks about their subway system in the mayor's races, and it is always said that fixing and upgrading them will be a muli- billion dollar project that will take over a decade to complete. I think one of the former NYC mayors said something like 'no mayor can fix the subways, because they won't get to cut the tape when the subways are fixed.' Countries that have less problems with their train system is China, who has high speed rail in all their major cities. The whole one party state thing is bad, and there are definitely major abuses of power there, but having power that consolidated gives some advantages for big projects. Tldr I have thoughts on those themes 😂😅

[@gregorylaperche5574]

Ohhh, and maybe Blood Song too!

[@laurenschenck5355]

Good morning Elliot! Xoxo 😘

[@FreyaWarr]

I think there’s a lot of similarities between Bloodsong and the Farseer Trilogy.

[@MariaMightReadThat]

Based on everything you said, I'm predicting Justice of Kings will be a 5 star read for me!

[@robthomas3968]

I want a book to read like the dunk & egg books

[@alexanderloeb]

Also, I just gotta advocate for my boy, Guy Gavriel Kay. Everyone recs Tigana, but that was actually my least favorite. Under Heaven, Lions of Al-Rassan 🙌 Any authors/books to pair with GGK??

[@laurenschenck5355]
