Doing this by month was a WAY better idea than I had. Here are some thoughts as I watch: - I really need to try Ryan Cahill. Steve Talks Books has been in my ear about it. He even called me out in front of the author, ha ha - Very much looking forward to Tyranny of Faith! Netgalley has had me on "pending" for 2 weeks now - I still haven't read Ember Blade but on my Discord they've been bullying me about reading it, finally - I did not join the Sanderson Kickstarter, so I'll be reading the secret project books when/if physical versions are available to us plebs - Fonda Lee had her publicist send me an ARC of Untethered Sky, so I'll be doing that in the Spring - James Islington earned my trust with Licanius where I will give whatever comes next a try, for sure - Light Bringer is my most anticipated book of the year, zero doubt. Cannot wat! - I hope you enjoy Sun Eater. Christopher is an amazing guy & he's super talented - Looks like it was a fortunate thing that I haven't started Manifest Delusions yet since it'll be completed next year Thanks for the rundown! Certainly several I missed.

You're welcome, Mike! I love doing this kind of video for months! I think chronologic is the easiest way for me to organize my list of anticipated releases. I think you'll love The Ember Blade and also Ryan Cahill's books. Maybe not the first book but the sequel! Both Ember Blade and Ryan Cahill's books reminded me of reading Gwynne's books. And I just got an eARC of Tyranny of Faith, so excited for this one. So crazy that Netgalley put you on pending for two months for this! Thankfully you did get a copy of Untethered Sky, I own that one already and this will be my first time reading Fonda's books outside of The Green Bone Saga. I am so pumped to read Islington's newest book and my number 1 most anticipated new release, LIGHT BRINGER! No idea whether Red God will be out next year or not, but I hope it does. The same goes for Sun Eater. I definitely will read this series next year. After taking a break from sci-fi and space opera for almost an entire year, I've been craving some awesome sci-fi/space opera series! Also, Manifest Delusion is so messed up and insane, you're gonna love it!

Taking on the entire series of the wars of light and shadow by Janny Wurts is a major undertaking. Please give it the time to understand it and grasp the sheer scale of this series. It’s up there with the Malazan book of the fallen and wheel of time for world building, complexity of plot & characters. Saying that I envy you the fact you get to read this series completely and for the first time. For me there is the bitter-sweet situation of getting to read another Janny Wurts book but it being the last one in this epic series.

That's true! I did start and finish Malazan Book of the Fallen in the span of three months. I don't think I can do that for Wars of Light and Shadow. But if I don't finish it in 2023, it's okay. What matters more is to read and absorb everything as much as I can! :)

Though you did further expand my already Godzilla sized TBR.😉 Finished the Black Shriving yesterday, and gave it 4.5 stars. I honestly don't see why you rated it so low. Well, tastes differ, I guess. There was actually very little romance in it and all the storylines were unpredictable to me. And the pacing was great and the action was brilliant. I'm loving the Chronicles of the Black Gate thus far. Looking forward to binging the rest.

Petrik, if you're on speaking terms with Nicolas Lietzau, can you please ask him regarding any update on the brilliantly narrated audiobook by Ben Britton? The prologue and first chapter have been on KZbin for over a year now. Maybe he was busy with the Enderal-Twelfth World fiasco and that delayed the audiobook production. I've only read the first 2 chapters of the book and am waiting for the audiobook to be released to continue reading. I also feel he's an author who could use a bit more public attention, so even a future author interview if possible, would be a great thing.
@PetrikLeo Жыл бұрын
Check out his newest post on Instagram! Audiobook of Dreams should be done this month or early next year. But yeah, he was super busy and had a lot of issues to deal with. As for interview, it's already confirmed I will chat with him on the channel once I read book 2 next year! 😃

Still hoping John Gwynne releases Bloodsworn 3 in 2023, but I won’t be holding my breath. John can take all the time he needs. Other than that, my most anticipated books are Brandon’s secret projects (#3 especially, I’ve read all the sample chapters from all 4 and 3 looks the best imo).
@PetrikLeo Жыл бұрын
Oh absolutely. I didn't mention Bloodsworn 3 here just because I'm not sure when it will be released, and I don't want to pressure him! I agree with you that Secret Project 3 seems to be the most intriguing one! :)

I don't think so. Nicholas Eames has mentioned the third book most likely won't be coming out next year. And Gwynne, after the passing of her daughter, I don't think he'll be able to finish the book in 2023. As for Evan Winter, I haven't heard anything else regarding the release of the third book. IF they somehow come out next year, I'll read them ASAP, though! :D

Sorry to say, but the Bone Shard Emperor was a major disappointment for me. Loved the first book, but this one made the characters majorly unlikeable, it’s got pacing issues, plot devices that are too convenient, a forced romance subplot… middle book syndrome x1000. Everyone else seems to like it, I’ll be curious to watch your review whenever you get to it.
