The Fires of Vengeance Review

[@Luke-fu5co]

* Watches even though i havent read this series * "Hmmm, yes... Interesting. I agree."

[@willswanson1840]

I burned through Rage faster than basically anything else I've read in a year. Really excited for Fires.

[@mikesbookreviews]

Dang. The publisher told me to hold my review until "at least" September. That's why I held off on reading it straight away. I guess they were misinformed. Oh well. Good review!

[@merphynapier42]

oh that's odd, I didn't get those instructions. It's well worth the read though!

[@deanryanmartin]

I'm sold. I haven't looking for Rage of Dragons but Merphy just convinced me to start reading Book 1 before 2020 ends.

[@leiselclayton5772]

Dean Ryan Martin It is sooooooo good! Definitely one of my favorite reads of the year, and I can’t wait for book 2 to be released.

[@deanryanmartin]

@@leiselclayton5772 I will have it as soon as the physical copy is available in our local bookstore.

[@sirgog]

I was impressed.

[@DragonwolfoftheSands]

Did you finish it?

[@mohammadjameel2008]

WOW Daniel Greene uploaded his review on the fires of vengeance . One hour after Merphy uploaded her review of the fires of vengeance YOU WON THE RACE MERPHY

[@ArlynChanel]

Preordered last night! Loved the rage of dragons! Thanks for your review Merphy, I’m even more excited now!!

[@AnJdeMusique]

I haven't read this series, I'm just amazed at how early I am. Sounds interesting, so I may pick it up!

[@charlespeter5610]

The first one was amazing

[@briankregg6329]

Don’t!!! Trust me, it is awful writing

[@charlespeter5610]

Brian is a hater, the first one was fantastic

[@briankregg6329]

I am not the only one! Check around

[@sirgog]

Book 1 was great. Just don't expect it to be like Lord of the Rings/Wheel of Time in style - expect it to be closer to the film Gladiator but with supernatural elements. There's two intersecting stories going on - one with worldshaping events, the other is a revenge story. You overwhelmingly see only the second story until they collide around 80% through.

[@3COI]

I loved the first book (audio version) and I'm glad to hear you and Daniel loved the follow up. I can't wait until it releases for the rest of us.

[@kimgrace476]

Amazing as always! You have really helped me with my reading and got me into Gentleman Bastards. Thanks so much Merphy!!

[@tvloover80]

Me: wait, wait wait, wait! You're giving a review of a book that is not coming out till November? That's rude - I still have to wait and you're hyping me up. (Ok, not really rude but I'm impatient). I have been looking forward to this book since i finished Rage of Dragons last year! I have it on pre-order. I am also waiting closer to the release date to re-read (again) book 1. I really do want to thank you for your review. I enjoyed it! And I am very much looking forward to reading The Fires of Vengeance

[@aleksandragalusic4449]

So neat seeing both of your perspectives! 🙃 definitely a series for the neverending TBR

[@UdyKumra]

I'm so excited for this book! Great video as always Merphy :)

[@VoidSplendor]

Okay, I need to pick up Rage of Dragons.

[@briankregg6329]

No no no!!!

[@MKTraxel]

So excited to hear both of your perspectives! I haven't read book 1 yet because I've learned to never trust a fantasy author, but this quick of turn around makes me really interested in starting even without the end written yet. 😂

[@samfowler9851]

Me: *finished the wheel of time and looking for a new book series to read* I think I might pick up rage of dragons and sta... Murphy: we are doing a read along together Me: where can I get this book?

[@MrMerlin1896]

Tag-team book reviews! I like this new trend lol

[@lifebythebook9854]

This is on my TBR! Let’s goooo! Love it as always

[@emmanlss]

After months of waiting for the hold from my library, I am getting "Rage of Dragons" this week. I can't wait!! 😁😁

[@Nassit-Gnuoy]

I’ve had Book one for a while, but haven’t been able to get to it yet and my TBR list keeps getting bigger. You and Daniel got me super excited to read these tho!

[@geoffjohnston6066]

Just read these two books and I agree with you -- Loved them so much. In my top 5 series right now. So good.

[@terrysbookandbiblereviews]

Seems like an interesting series of books.

[@purgatoryknight4751]

I literally finished the book last month and was legitimately depressed I would have to wait a year for the next one to come out(totally unaware that this book came out last year) so my reaction to when I saw this video was, and I quote "no way". Love you Merphy, ya never dissapoint me.

[@AStangeSoup]

"I'm a slow reader." I'm a slow reader too but I have nothing to do so I get through books very quickly because I read so much (I usually reread books a second time to see all the hints and minor characters that turn into major players later) Love the videos never stop!

[@ameliarose1180]

Ahhhhh I need to read this series right nowww!

[@ASJames]

Really looking forward to this one!! I have a special love for characters who have superhuman amounts of will. That's why I love Kelsier too!

[@astraestus8828]

Reading Rage of Dragons rn and its great so far!

[@emmanuelboakye1124]

Good review👍👍

[@ayesha9752]

ahhhhhhhhhhh cant wait to read these two books!!!!!!!!!!

[@michaelthomas3262]

when comes the book in german ??? can't wait

[@sirgog]

Very much hyped for this book, although if it comes out right at the same time as Stormlight 4 it's getting the second priority spot. Tau was a great imperfect-but-mostly-sympathetic protagonist. It's like if the film Gladiator was set in an African-inspired fantasy world.

[@nivethap2959]

Wow this review makes me to read the rage of dragons

[@terrelljohnson5811]

I want my 2nd book😢 it officially is on the market as of Nov correct?

[@alison4dice]

I'm so disappointed to see that this book isn't on Audible upon release. Anyone have an idea why or when/if it's coming to Audible. I'd love to get it and listen, but I don't have time for physical reading right now. :(

[@nunyabusiness3516]

It's on audible now!

[@nunyabusiness3516]

Just finished it. I have to have the audio of Prentice onayemi to feel the full impact. It was great!

[@nelfarios]

I can't decide which fantasy series to read next. I've been planning to read Gentlemen Bastards, but this series sounds even better from the reviews I've seen. My favorite series' are ASOIAF and First Law. Can someone decide for me? 😂

[@MsWillowbayOrelse]

I put The Fires of Vengeance, the audiobook, on hold at my library and the release date keeps being pushed back. It's super frustrating because I loved the first book in the series.

[@malintries]

I need to read the first one so bad! 🙈

[@briankregg6329]

No you don’t, rage of dragons is god awful

[@malintries]

@@briankregg6329 are you just going around all the comments of ppl saying they want to read it and telling them not to hahaha 😂

[@briankregg6329]

@@malintries just trying to help, of course nobody needs to listen to me. I heard so many hype this book and looked forward to it. Imo terrible. If you disagree let me know.

[@torshitabanerjee6669]

Okay so I have a request will u pls do a review of Hero of ages. Btw, i love your videos

[@rudyb2385]

Why did I open this review? Thanks a lot Merph! Now I am Jonesing to read it now! Hey! Can I borrow your book? 😂

[@pyrabelle]

Could you make a video on which perspective you prefer reading? Like 1st person vs 3rd person.

[@merphynapier42]

third person limited is my favorite!

[@pyrabelle]

@@merphynapier42 Can you tell me why this is your favorite?

[@shreyam9958]

This is completely random, but Merphy have you watched The Dragon Prince series. It's one of the best I have ever seen and is a close second to avatar the last airbender. If you haven't seen it please do I'm pretty positive you'd like it.

[@YukiAmeka]

Merphy: I'm a relatively slow reader; it would take me 5h to read 250 pages. Me: * stares * How is that slow??? Thanks for the review; definitely intrigued me * thumbs up *

[@RevengeOfThaNerd]

I loved it. But I DEVOURED the last 120 pages.

[@hillaryfarley4186]

Oh. Em. GEE!!! I can’t believe this is coming so fast!!! I adored book one!!! But I’m totally worried about those clunky elements. 😬

[@WJLMAROON]

This has got me excited to read rage of dragons so i can buddy read fires of vengeance in november

[@ompawar4050]

Plz try "the rook" , sometimes it feels like is it possible but it's good.

[@BookLoversPizza]

Amazing!!! Again I’m just recommending the book series *shadow of the fox* I watched your last video (of course) and I apologise if I’m pressuring you, I understand the fact that you have a lot of series to get through and I apologise once again. Thanks

[@Tewahedo]

Hi, great channel! Which microphone do you recommend for narration?

[@MrBodies07]

Did the spoiler chat ever happen?

[@dericplummer9272]

How explicit is the content in this book and in the first? Is the violence super gory? Any graphic sex scenes?

[@merphynapier42]

I'd say there's a fair amount of gore. It's not over the top but there's a lot of fight scenes and they are well described. There's one sex scene in book one and none in book two

[@benjaizz4146]

When will you being The Rise of Kyoshi?

[@MO-dj5br]

Rage of dragons was so good, I can’t wait for the new book!

[@MetalGildarts]

I don’t like when the bad guy is super distanced either. That’s one of my gripes with Avatar. The Fire lord didn’t show up til book 3.

[@loriannwhite8384]

Em I wrong for wondering if Merphy dropped the book on the floor? Good review but damn that’s a hardcover, is it damaged?

[@merphynapier42]

I was sitting on the floor, no damage :)

[@loriannwhite8384]

Merphy Napier Lol, just joking. Thanks.

[@panchorosselli]

Ok boys, CP2077, Fires of Vengance and Rhythm of War..... how hard do I need to hit my head so the coma lasts up untill nov 9? Damn I just CANT wait for november holy moly. This is what I'm excited the most tho, even more than BrandoSando.

[@archenemy1124]

The rage of dragons was a phenomenal read. Great action. Highly recommended for fantasy junkies

[@teanlit2949]

anyone else just come from daniel green's vid?

[@nivethap2959]

Merphy napier is loving this book heartily ( that's why she gave 4.5 star) so I am going to read the rage of dragons

[@singlesightart]

I liked this book better then book one. I think I understood the world better

[@robertwinslade3104]

This series is right at the top of my TBR. I love fantasy as a genre because of the sense of discovering a new world, different to what I know; that is somewhat dulled by the fact that so many fantasy stories just end of up quasi-medieval western-European type settings, often with the same kinds of fantasy elements and creatures. I'm so ready for a fantasy series inspired by African culture and folklore instead of European

[@robertwinslade3104]

@@hendrikscheepers4144 damn, dissapointing to hear. I'll still read it and see for myself, but it sounds like it might not be the alternative to quasi-european fantasy that I'm looking for

[@maddy6033]

once again I'm so 'jealous' of you..... Waiting for November

[@saadamansayyed]

Haven't read both books and I do not want to... 🔥 Daniel Greene posted at the same time - is that the new #teambookreviews tag 😎 Also, I know it is a heap load of work on you and Korey and that you've got lil Dren too but making a spoilers and spoiler free video will be a good idea 😀 🙇 Thoughts about Percy Jackson? If you have made a video, please tell ❤️ Love 💝 your video📹 The Dear Author ✍️ helped me a lot... Could ya please dedicated me a video or you're cursed with denial of bookish fire by the librarian dragon 🔥 🐉 📚

[@chromoglv7103]

There are many amazing series and this one is one of those series but I always had a question Why is harry potter on the top in sales when other series which are better don't. Waiting for the next big series what ch would take the world on storm (which is good. Not stuff like Twilight or fifty shades. Sorry if u are offended.)

[@glikith2744]

I too. Hope a very good series like harry potter would take the world on storm. (I want it to be percy jackson.)

[@katarakitten9088]

Now I really want to read it! I've had bad luck with YA for so many months. I trust you, Merphy. 💕 Edit: I FOUND IT AT MY LIBRARY! I'M SOOOOO HAPPY

[@dkim6157]

Lol Merphy, it's Evan Winter, not Winters.

[@LiteratureScienceAlliance]

I haven’t read either book but I heard one criticism in the first book was the inclusion/representation of female characters and was wondering if that was improved upon in the sequel?

[@LiteratureScienceAlliance]

@@85dresden Like I said I haven't read it myself and I knew it was matriarchal but also heard from several reviewers I trusted that the inclusion of female characters was limited and that they hoped that would be improved in the sequel, so I was just curious if that ended up happening.

[@merphynapier42]

To answer your question, no it's pretty much the same. Due to Tau's new position, we do get more from a couple women but it's not *that* much more than what we got form Zuri in book one. I personally don't have an issue with it because the primarily male cast makes sense for what story we're following, and I do think that the women in the books are (for the most part) written well, so I don't take issue with it. But if you prefer books with more of a balance in how many women and men are at the forefront, this series doesn't fulfill that at this point.

[@LiteratureScienceAlliance]

Merphy Napier thanks for the answer! I still plan to read it since I do think it will be an action packed fantasy I will enjoy

Rage of dragons is awful!! I have read a lot, grrm, Tad Williams, Robert Jordan, James Islington, Brent Weeks, Daniel Abraham and so on. I was hyped for this book and wow!!! what a disappointment!! The most nonsensical, disjointed, confusing novel I ever read.
