So glad you enjoyed the characters, world, and themes! I have a different edition than the cover art you’re showing on the thumbnail, so mine definitely doesn’t spoil anything. By the way, Janny Wurts and her husband are incredible fantasy artists. She paints her own cover art!

Thanks Johanna! That's amazing that she did her own art, that's such a rare thing to see and she did an incredible job!

Glad you enjoyed the book! I hope Janny Wurts gets a lot more attention on booktube. Wars of Light and Shadow is one of my favorite series and I’m so excited the final volume is coming out this year.

Couldnt agree more about spoilery blurbs and covers, Matt. I have stopped reading blurbs almost completely. Some publishers go overboard and it lessens some of the punch that would have been there while reading.

Yeah I do the same thing for movies. If I want to watch a movie, I just avoid all trailers like the plague.

More people need to read Wurts. Ps-Nice comprehension retention.

I am enjoying the Daughter of the Empire trilogy so more Janny Wurts will definitely be in my future. This sounds like a good pick for me. Thanks as always.

Glad you like Wurts. Given your admiration for Raymond Feist, I really hope you get to the Empire Series he co-wrote with Janny Wurts at some point. Ive spent a career in and around politics like you and it’s the best political fantasy I’ve ever read. Right up your alley.

Yup, I will 100% be getting around to that when I finish the first Riftwar series.
@juliangudsell7956 Жыл бұрын
Yes, second that. Great writing quality, strong storyline and characters set in such a well realised world. Political machinations everywhere! It ticks a lot of your boxes Matt.

I think everyone is waay too sensitive about spoilers. The cover and blurb is fine. It made me want to read it, which is the point
@DanExploresBooks Жыл бұрын
That cover is really cool. Haven't read the book. Personally, I am one of those people who hate when book blurbs and covers give too much away. I think if it is book 1, though, then you need to offer a bit more to get people interested. I get so annoyed when sequels needlessly give things away. I personally really dislike when a cover shows something that is a part of the Climax or major moments. It does ruin things a fair bit for me. And blurbs can go way overboard.

Hey man. Love your vids. May I recommend the military fantasy series "Forgotten Ruin". A nano virus is destroying all tech. The US gov sends rangerss and scientists 4 years into to the future to fix shit. Turns out they're sent 10k years into the future and the world is now a tolkien esque fantasy world. Orcs, elves, the whole shebang. It's really really good.
