Honestly, I’m not a big fan of YA. I’ve only fully enjoyed reading two YA series, Six of Crows and The Infernal Devices. I guess what I loved so much about Six of Crows was that Kaz always kept things away from the other crew members, meaning he also kept them away from the reader. Once you thought you knew exactly what was happening, he revealed something or did something smart which left you shocked. Also, I enjoyed that even though Inej and Kaz seem to love each other, they never really developed an actual relationship. The series wasn’t love driven, but very plot driven.

Hope this recommendation helps you out :)

I’m so pleased I watched this. I was nervous, seeing Six of Crows in the thumbnail, because I loved it and it prompted me to read everything else by her I could lay my hands on. But “not to my taste” is fine, and now I want to watch your YA piece (because I felt SoC avoided my least favourite YA tropes, so interested to hear your take). Seconding your view on the Iron Druid, although I’m not a big fan of Dresden either. I mean, I’ve read the whole of both series, but mainly because my brain needs something to focus on when getting ready to sleep (that isn’t anxiety and existential terror) and they can both do that, rather than because I think the writing/plots/characters are particular standouts. Otherwise thanks for the warnings for the other books, and I agree with your dad about the importance of the right reader.

That’s interesting. Never read the series but I’m curious about people’s opinions on writing teenagers like adults. Some teenagers do sound like adults cause of how they were brought up. I guess it’s all about intention. I bet ya teenagers in like the 1600s sounded like adults cause they were treated like adults. But idk when six of crows is set or the kind of society. Anyways sorry to ramble lol. Point being: interesting take

I just wanted to thank you for making 2020 more fun with your awesome content. I don't have (legal) access to many fantasy books where I'm from so I don't read much of them, but your content 1. Works even when I don't know what you're talking about 2. Made me want to read more in the future. Happy new year and thank you again

I started with best served called cold...really masterful... last act seemed too contrived... I think👍 writing is better here but I didn't come to love the characters like how I did in first law books..Glokta,jezal, Logan all were close to my heart .but here I kept hating them more as the story progressed..in a way..that is also credit to the author.... Anyway I've decided to catch up with the rest...

@@coleton7048 I read first law books long(7-8 years) back.. n best served 3 months back .so my exp was as good as first time reader. But I could really feel the chills when glokta was mentioned indirectly. I didn't need to refer wiki or anything to jog my memory. You need to read First law books. It maybe underwhelming in a world building perspective. But characters are🔥🔥love'm all... But I don't think I will cherish Monza or any character in this book. Maybe friendly😀 .

I liked seeing your dad, he seemed nice :) Would be cool to hear reviews from your family more often, maybe before WoT show comes out you can have a video reviewing the series with your dad/family, and then bring them in for casual audience reactions to the show while you dig deeper.

It's great to hear your review of books from this year. So many memories of review's past. Also, I'm always glad the book I published this year, One for the Road by Jeremy M. Moore, hasn't made it on your list. On the one hand, I think "how great would it be to be reviewed by Mr. Greene?" But then i think "oh crap, what if I'm on his DNR list?"

Speaking of series: one of the things I love about the Discworld series is that it isn't written as a series. Terry Pratchett just wrote the stories he wanted to tell using the characters and world that he had created. If the existing characters couldn't tell the story he wanted to tell he made up new characters and sometimes new places in that world where he could tell the story. Every book is a complete story that happens to take place in an existing world. And every book is a story that Pratchett wants to tell. He never got stuck someplace he didn't want to be because he didn't limit himself to one set of characters or one type of culture.
