I'm glad to hear you're enjoying the Kate Elliott series. I'm interested to find out what you think of the next book as I may be nudging it up my TBR. I'm like you with No Land For Heroes. The setting wouldn't normally appeal but it's a great premise and I enjoyed Cal's short story and her writing style in The Advent of Winter anthology.

Im on book 4 of crown of stars and based on how slow I've been at getting to the audiobook, maybe we'll end up reading it at the same time! I appreciate how the plot and magic intertwines through the series so far. Definitely a slow build.

I weirdly love those old quirky Kate Elliott covers hahah. And oooh I really hope you have a great time with No Land for Heroes, I need to re-read that so badly and get to the sequel. Happy reading!

Well, it looks like I have more books to add to my massive TBR. These sound so interesting! My favorite book of 2024? Probably Recursion by Blake Crouch. I hope to read Dark Matter next...sometime this year. Thanks for sharing and happy reading!

hmm good books!! added them to my TBR Dominish.

Your recommendations are great ! I have read a few..looking forward to read them allll..

I'll check then out

I love Eleanor's motivations for picking those gifts hahaha. Great haul! Hope you enjoy Supplicant when you get to it, as well as the Brotherhood of the Eagle 🤩

Oh, hey, “The Darkness Before Them”! I really enjoyed that one, more than “The Legacy Trilogy” FWIW… I also have “The Godsblood Tragedy” so keen to hear about that one.

Great haul, Dom. Happy reading. I'm looking forward to hearing how you get on. 😀

Very interested in the NC Scrimgeour series. Have it in on audiobook but haven't started. I wonder how it compares to the Front lines series by Marco Kloos. My XMas Reads: Tusks of Extinction by Ray Naylor-- Hardish SF about a Elephant Expert, who was murdered by poachers but had had her brain copied to computer is downloaded into a resurrected mammoth to teach the other mammoths to function as mammoth....and deal with human BS. Bringing Back the Rain by Bob Mcgough-- 1st in a series about a Meth addicted Wizard from Alabama.

Random book question. It has been years since I have read The Dwarf series by Markus Heitz. I’ve noticed a fifth book on your shelf. I can’t remember a lot of details from the series, do you think I should re read the first four or can I jump into the fifth? Xx

John Gwynne is somehow still underrated. More people should be talking about his books. Thanks for giving him some love!

I appreciate your channel because it's not always the same stuff everyone else is yapping about. It's nice to hear about under-the-radar authors, or books by popular authors that aren't their bestsellers. Thanks for posting.

Very interesting list! I haven’t heard of half of them so I’ll need to add to my TBR. I think my favorite book was To Green Angel Tower by Tad Williams

Orconomics is brilliant! And the narrator hits it out of the park on the audiobook.

These are great videos. How do you do the graphics and animation?

So many to add to my future reading!! I’m still deciding my 2024 favorites.

I really need to read the new Feist books. I've read everything in Riftwar too, so I'm sure I'll love the new ones. My top books of 2024 include: the entire Age of Madness trilogy, Blackwater Saga, Pillars of the Earth, Empire of the Damned by Jay Kristoff, Demon in White by Christopher Ruocchio, The Will of the Many, a couple of the Dungeon Crawler Carl books, the Final Architecture series by Tchaikovsky, Going Postal, and I guess I can add Nettle and Bone by T Kingfisher. I read Nettle and Bone on holiday in Peru. I remember reading it on the train to Machu Picchu, so it's kinda meaningful.

This man deserves far more viewers!

I'm glad you had a good year of reading, Dom. I loved Hall of Bones too and book 2 was a superb sequel. I'm aiming to read 3 and 4 this year. I'm also a big fan of John Gwynne. The Faithful and the Fallen and Of Blood and Bone are among my favourite series so I'm expecting great things from The Bloodsworn Saga when I get to it. Petition and quite a few of the others sound like they're reads I'd enjoy so they'll be added to my TBR after watch this. I hope 2025's reading is as good for you as 2024.

This list really opened my eyes - I'd only heard of 1 of the books and 2 of the authors. Thanks for the video!

I loved the witty and sarcastic dialogue and narrative style and the focused prose, but what i started off really enjoying because it was something so different and fresh for me became a bit stale by the time I was halfway through it. I found the character cast somewhat one dimensional and the worldbuilding lacked the richness that I seek from my fantasy reads. The plot was also not anything grabbing. This is my first DeCastell novel and I can definitely see the appeal, but am assuming that this is one of his works that doesn't quite stick the landing. I still intend to read Play of Shadows later this year. Overall, I would give this a 3⭐️

Thank you so much Dom!!!! I also really enjoyed Umbra! Malevelolent Seven has been on my radar so it's great to hear that one has a good audiobook!

Feeling tremendously honored to be featured in such wonderful company! Several of your top picks are on my TBR though I don't know when I'm going to be able to get to them since I'm such a mood reader. As for my 2024 ranked picks, I didn't do enough reading to do a top 10, but here's my top 5: 5. He Who Drowned the World by Shelley Parker-Chan 4. Speaking Bones by Ken Liu 3. The Sunforge by Sascha Stronach 2. Exordia by Seth Dickinson 1. Song of the Mysteries by Janny Wurts

A bit surprised...but a great list nonetheless!👍👍👍📚🤖🚀🐲

I read Fury of the Gods last year and it was every bit as good as you said. I'll definitely read everything else on this list. Thank you so much for this.

Heliotrope spotted, nice.

Well would you look at that, I should've put out some guesses after all because there were quite a few that I'd have gotten right. Can't believe I still haven't read Petition and Talonsister after all your gushing. And heeeeck yes for Hall of Bones and UMBRA. Hope you find many more new faves in this new year! 🤩

All this sounds interesting, happy new year to you and your family!

I’d like to give Jen W another chance. I wasn’t a big fan of Ninth Rain trilogy

I’ve had Starlight Jewel for a long time and need to get to this.

Oh wow, I didn't expect to feature in your top 10, so that's brilliant! I also plan to return to reading John Gwynne this year and Delilah Waan is on my TBR as well. In terms of favourites, I pick mine in the summer (I just had to be different 😂) and The Hallows by HL Tinsley took the top spot in 2024. Well worth checking out.

My favourite book of 2024 was Gardens of the Moon by Steven Erickson. A brilliant start to the Malazan Book of the Fallen.

Great list - Petition sounds like my type of book. I will deffo give it a read

Advent of Winter novel! Go Karim!!

Shroud sounds so amazing! Really looking forward to that as well x3 Happy reading!

This makes me so glad I semi-blindly bought the broken binding editions of the Talon Duology. Can’t wait to read those! -Tabatha

Eating up all the stats hahahah. You've got me very excited for the Talonsister duology! And I can't wait to read Karim's new book. Hope you carry the good vibes into 2025, happy reading 🤩

You DNF'd one of the best sci-fi/science fantasy series ever written

Loved hearing your stats! I want to keep better track of my series this year.

🥳🥳🥳👍👍👍📚🤖🚀🐲

I'm glad you thought Titanchild was as strong as the first book! I had to order it from the UK and I'm excited to see what happens next. Although I need to remind myself of the characters/etc from book 1!😂

Happy new year! Sounds like you had a good reading month. I think I read 8 items in Dec, although two were comics and one was a manga. I was trying to reach 100 books on Goodreads, so I had to read short things. Most of my month was consumed by Wind and Truth. It was fine. My book of the month was The Will of the Many. It was really good. Maybe not the best book of the year, like I've heard some booktubers say, but definitely good. I'm excited for the second book in the series.

You're a fascinating booktuner because you read books I've never heard of by authors I've never heard of. Other booktubers all seem to read the same clutch of authors. Where do you get your ideas for books from, are they recommened by friends or do you just pick book titles you like?

Harlequin’s Legacy is on my list for this year too. It sounds fun.

Yay for Dragonbone Chair! Simon is sup to be an ordinary kitchen boy so his name is common

They sound like a varied mix to get 2025 off to a good start. Happy New Year and happy reading Dom. Orconomics has been sat on my Kindle for a while too and I've got quite a few physical Kate Elliott books, including King's Dragon, which I've not read yet so I'm interested to hear how you get on. The Heart of What Was Lost and The Witchwood Crown are this month's reading plan for me.

I'm really looking forward to Shroud!!

Crown of Stars is wonderful!! I hope you enjoy it!
