I'll trust you on this because your rant review of The Way of Kings really resonated with me and will pick this series up again. I thought that maybe it was my mistake to choose to experience the Farseer trilogy via audiobook but i see now... it wasn't just that, it also was the book all along. But since the audiobook of Ship of Magic sounds atrocious anyway, I might actually engage with a copy!!

Red Rising is teen fiction. I don’t know why so many readers pretend it’s not. Just because it has a lot of violence doesn’t make a story mature. I enjoyed it more than you did but when people say the sequels are better, they mean there’s more over the top action and space battles, and personally I’m looking for more depth

This Book is one of my all time favorites. Currently rereading it and gave it away as a gift, have several edition. I am happy that the Spanish translation has the same features as the German one. I mean how good is the translation when the kept the Alphabet in Order German, Spanish completely different languages. I know you have some international editions of books you like as Harry potter in German for example. There is a relatively new illustrated edition of " Die unendliche Geschichte, illustrierte Ausgabe" with new illustrations in a large format. Maybe you have a look on the internet, as a Psychoanalyst you would find the new illustrations interesting for interpretations.

Interesting, back than you liked Video Games, what happened during the years that you say you absolutely dont like them, i am coming from the ROP Video that's why I remember it you say that the movie the Hobbit is like a Video game so just curious. I do understand that people have their preferences I for myself never was into video games too where all my friends was.

I wish you had delved deeper into what exactly you didn't like about it, but I can relate to the absolute rage of having read a book you hated lol. I disliked the book too, though probably not as strongly as you. I thought it was trying to be too many things at once, it was quite heavy handed in its preaching, and the last third of the plot was completely ridiculous.

I just ordered mine. Can't wait to receive it.❤

appreciate the review. well articulated and what i thought would be the case.

I agree with all of your points. When I saw the reviews of the book after I finished it I was surprised by how positive most of them are. It felt 'empty' to me.

As a mostly straight man I must admit that I am in love with your personality lol. Sassy and sophisticated. A rare combination indeed.

Haha I feel the same way. If I read a terrible book I go back to Harry Potter to cleanse myself

Inject the red rising hate into my veins YESSSSSS. RR and Chapterhouse: Dune are the only 2 books that I've ever dished out a 1 star rating on Goodreads for.

Glad you are back at it! 📚

I love the Red Rising saga!

Couldn’t agree more about Red Rising. Honestly I’ve never made it past like 3 chapters, and I’ve tried multiple times. It’s so bad and sorry but the writing is so bad. It’s present tense if I recall? You have to be really good to pull that off for me.

Your review on the red rising book was funny 😂

SSF is amazing. I recommend The China Study, if you want a deeper dive into the nutrition literature.

I am one of the red rising fans, no offense taken. I liked the new Roman atmosphere

That’s exactly what a figment of my own psychosis would say… 🤔 Good to see ya back tho lol

“This is the kind of book that, if you like it, I will judge you” 😂 Juan, you make me laugh! But I know exactly what you mean. I really enjoyed Birman Wood too.

I completely disagree with you

I'm so glad I'm not the only who feels like this! The world building isn't that bad in my opinion, but the characters, magic, and prose... Oof. I started writing a high fantasy novel as a young teen and took it very seriously. I'm still working on editing it and getting it traditionally published. I would read mostly ASOIAF to learn (which I think is peak fantasy and prose, especially the later books). At around fifteen I tried giving Brandon Sanderson a try, and unironically ended up feeling very encouraged by the fact that I felt I could "match his prose". I was *fifteen* . Even then I knew it just didn't cut it. It sounded bad in my head, clumsy and unedited. When it comes to characters, I felt he really struggled writing the female ones (which he has confessed in a blog, saying he struggles to "make them more than love interests" (in the 21st century? Seriously??)), and all ended up feeling like tropes. And the magic might be personal preference... But I can't stand magic that's so "hard". It feels like maths, no magic. No mystery, no beauty... No true fantasy.

sounds truly mindnumbing lol

why do they write like this? everyone says it's easier to read but to me it's like absolutely impossible!

I wasn't a big fan of Mistborn either. I was more taken aback by your review of Robin Hobb"s Ship of Magic.

Every book in this series gave me a feeling that there’s so much that I’m missing, and that I’ll only be able to read it for real at a second reading. Rowling is a master of hidden clues, Easter eggs, and parallels and metaphors to reality. Only questions is, the huge gap in appeal between the two series considered, are there enough fans out there who are willing to embark on this monumental journey.

White anime yes 😂😂 I’ve found my family of readers. This book is tacky. I also agree the names were all a bit off. Even for stuff or positions.

Pienso igual. Leí los 3 de Mistborn y tardé casi 1 año en acabarlos. Tuve que termianr porque ya los había comprado. Nunca más. Horrible.

This is not a book review. It's an anti-review. It's just the spewing of an opinion without discussion of where that opinion comes from. They say the internet was invented for complaining and trolling.

Hola, soy española y no entiendo del todo el inglés, pero tú comentario me parece muy acertado y pone voz opinión sobre este estupendo libto que no he terminado aún pero que ardo en deseos de conocer el final. Sobre el principio tengo que decir que me pasó lo mismo pero seguí leyendo porque me lo recomendó una persona muy fiable para mí en cuestión de literatura. Es también psicoanalista como tú. Gracias.

Thanks. When I first got into fantasy I tried Brandon Sanderson. So many positive youtube reviews. I felt gaslit by the community, it was like I was reading different books. YA, poor prose, too much hand holding, simple characters. I really didn't care for it. I then read the Dandelion Dynasty, a real fantasy series. No comparison.

It’s free on the Libby App. One should be available for audiobook because I just removed it from my queue.

It's not the Neverending Story it it's not over the top. 😂

I would like to know if you readed " Story of a lonelyness" by John Boyne.

@juanreader did you read " Story of a lonelyness? It is so good, deep...

Great video. I have not read Sanderson so I make this comment assuming what you say is true and add that a problem with him now being so big is that there is little chance that an editor would be able to give him this corrections. so he probably would not improve. someone said his writing is basically equivalent of McDonalds

Have you read rebecca by daphe du maurier?

i reaf it but it just wasn't as good as agatha christie

Oh no someone had described this to me as harry potter for adults so thought it would be my jam but this review is making me realise that i need to find a new book.

I just watched ep. 5 season 2, decided to read Silmarillion to wash this filth.

It was the fake swearing that did it for me “Storming” or “storms” it felt too corny

I mean most fans of this series are also Sanderson fans so I had a feeling you won’t like it based on your Way of Kings review. I thought Jade City took itself way too seriously for a story that isn’t that deep. (In my opinion)

THIS book is amazing! I wish he had stuck around

While I do love this book, I believe that there are some fair criticisms to be made. I respect your opinion though. You should probably get your head out of your ass though. I get you don’t like it but damn 😂

It may not have been perfect, but it has Strike and Robin and all their silly antics, and that was good enough for me. Where she lacks in editing, she makes up for in creating characters that you love to spend time with.

I felt so crazy thinking this book was so bad

Sanderson just made every animal a shell. I almost threw the book.

I needed this clease. I like the book but anytime anyone criticizes any aspect of the book or characters here comes his low iq fandom. like yall need to read outside your comfort zones the books are middd

Like Sanderson its just hype

I just started re reading the LOTR world. Have some really nice hard backs I bought when I was a kid . I was a. pre Jackson LOTR fan for ages. new stuff sucks
