![The Sunlit Man [SPOILER] Review by Brandon Sanderson](/img/tr.png)
My anxiety asked me to make sure you knew this was a joke
Nooo it was serious! Now the press knows everything. 😂👀
"Pattern, nothing is less funny than explaining a joke." 😢
'this thing sucks'' lol - no toxicity negative tolerated...
from brandon? uh oh...
Fitz rules!!!! But a really fun video. Thanks!
Oh so you don’t like discworld?
I really appreciate that you gave him time to defend himself at the end.
It's really cool he shaved his beard then grew it back recently just for this video.
Be honest Merphy, we all know this is just revenge for the amount of times "undulating" appeared in Yumi and the Nightmare Painter.
"There are 12 books on this list. I've read six of them because I'm a HACK."
Yeah, but you're our hack, and we love you.
🤣 completely unbiased, no revenge for being called out about not liking Undulating 🤣
But great video
Merphy knows I am only kidding, loved the video
As soon as I heard it in Secret Project 3 I felt like it was an Easter egg 😂
"Does Merphy Napier Have Good Taste?". Next one is this but Daniel the one doing it or maybe Gavin or Amber 😂
Daniel is cruel in vids. Remember the book washing vid?😂
Brandon Sanderson can write a book. We have a *decent* amount of evidence to suggest that. 💀
He's going to put the word "undulating" in 20 times more in storm light 5 because of this, I hope you're happy with yourself
Lol!!! Thanks for asking me to be part of this, Merphy!
I’m a bit miffed at the X for Steven Erikson though. SEND ME MY CLIP BACK. 😤😂😂😂
Salty Tori inbound!
Jackson Dickert also exposed Sanderson in his between two perns video so I am glad all the booktubers are working together to show how much of a monster Sanderson really is.
I love his angry act at the end, it's so out of character for him. It was great.
Not liking Fitz is a punishable offense, Merphy.
Punish me too then
Definitely fair and unbiased 😂
Justice for my sad boy Fitz 😭😭😭😭
Such a funny video! I love that you even said, “I have an agenda.” The end, bloop…😂
Sanderson created my beautiful muse Shallan, so I've gotta say... yeah. Man's got good taste. 😏 (PS: I specifically love whenever Shallan is drawing and her pen undulates over a page. Warms my heart every time.)
Yes, makes my heart undulate like an ocean swell!
The list was undulating in her hand as she spoke.
I recently picked up Anne McCaffrey based on Brandon's recommendation in his podcast episode on greatest fantasy authors who is no longer with us. I was in a dry spell, not really having time for entertainment reading when studying at UNI full time and working 75-90% on top of that, and finishing UNI I was just exhausted reading all these boring books and over analyzing it until I didn't even want to look at a book any more. I'd had trouble getting back into reading, not really finding anything that gripped me and only finishing 4 books and 2 graphic novels in the 14 months since I finished UNI, but Dragonflight cured that for me. I read half of that book in one sitting. I had some trouble getting more books delivered to me, but now I have most of the Pern books ready to go and I'm 5 books in, about to start the 6th today and not felling tired of it yet, also having finished two other books not McCaffrey, in just over a month since starting Dragonflight.
I grew up reading her series and I love it! As an adult I realize some might be turned off by certain concepts but the worldbuilding, characters, and plot are all fantastic for me. Even just the idea of writing a purely science fiction prequel to explain your fantasy setting.. wow! The tenth book had me shook.
@@EmiZViolet Looking forward to it. It is a very interesting setting, also how the characters can carry the books so well, with no sentient "bad guy" they are fighting, at least not as far as I've gotten. Some characters are less likable and cause more trouble in the grand scheme of things, but it's no war with humans killing humans, and it took me the better part of two books to realize that, like, I obviously realized it in the first book, but I didn't really appreciate how different that was from a lot of other books at first, but it works very well.
Your hair looks great as always Merph! It's UNDULATING perfectly with each movement of your head.
What an absolute champ he is to do this gag.
Also Murphy, we never thought you'd do him dirty like that for real, as soon as you hung up on him we were in on the joke 😂😂
I’m pretty sure that’s a previous clip.
Loved this! 😂 I needed this today lol.
This was fun! Thanks for including me friend!
We usually agree but not liking Tigana is tough to hear! I DNF'd Lions of al-rassan though so Kay does seem to be hit/miss
@@granthoffman315 I actually think the book is fine, my opinions on it are more nuanced but I leaned into it because the purpose of the video is just for a gag/joke haha. Tigana is beautifully written but not my favorite. I’ve loved Lions, Under Heaven and Song for Arbonne
I will die for Fitz. And I will die for Weeks. Fighting energy engaged
I just finished the Lightbringer series!!
The final two books are really cool, although I almost fell off the second. It took some effort to get back to the good stuff.
Plenty of great twists and turns left in the story!!
The end you just cutting him off made me laugh out loud. Also, how dare you not like Dragonriders of Pern??? (Kidding, obviously.)
I don’t know what’s more amazing: the fact that you can just pick up the phone and call one of greatest living authors of our lives or that he also has time for you considering his productivity is just insane. I mean if you look at his release schedule, it’s like does the man even have time to go to the bathroom?
Sorry but that was an existing clip, see the description
He might write in the bathroom too.
@@Alkemisti I'm convinced he does. He sleeps, he video games, he MUST write at literally every other moment to output the number of books he writes,.
I am not sure if this is true, but I saw this reddit comment saying that Brandon wrote Warbreaker during his honeymoon.
One of the greatest living authors? Yeah right
Great timing with the cut at the end!
WHAT?! How can you write off Fitz and the Fool when you haven't even finished the story?! The 2nd and 3rd trilogies are beautiful.
I totally agree! I have shed many tears over those books during multiple rereads. Love them so much!
I'm sure you have plenty of great books to read, but the young adult entry for the Pern series Dragonsong is excellent! It captures that fishing village by the sea vibe so well
😂 Love the finished product! This was great!
“and somehow, through young adult dystopian sci fi bullshit, this creates a perfect society”
Yeah, that’s all young adult stuff. Also… best line of the video! Hahaha
On wheel of time book 13,loving it right now thank god we had Sanderson to finish Jordan’s masterpiece. So happy with where rand is now in his mind nd emotions
Yeah I'm there too. Finally enjoying the Wheel of time again after the slog.
Love seeing Cam! He is awesome and I happy see it he is getting more notice!
I love it, this made my week! 😂😂😂
really interesting video idea. love it
I don't tend to post comments on videos but I had to for this one, this was legitimately awesome!
Such an informative video.
Made it to the end. Hilarious. Smiling ear to ear.
Fun video! Although even joking about Robin Hobb getting an X is blasphemy! 😁
I haven’t laughed this hard in a long time 😂 this was pure genius
The out loud "bloop" at the end got me.
Had no idea what this was going to be about, it was great!
I've never read McCaffrey outside of a small excerpt I read for school when I was 11 or so. In retrospect, it was really cool to have a fantasy series as part of a required reading! And it was easily my favorite in all of middle school, along with sparking a love of fantasy for younger me. I've had Dragonriders of Pern on my TBR just so I can relive that moment. And hopefully read it to completion. Even if it doesn't seem to hold up as well as other fantasy classics (at least that's what I see online).
Brent Weeks’ five book series is my current fav of all time, so that X hurt
The wheel of time isn't on his list of recommended books?
NIce! Loved this!
HOW can you not like Fitz!!! Also you're not supposed to like Fitz!!!!
Can I just say I appreciate merphy asking her friends who have smaller sub counts to help with this? I always appreciate recs for smaller booktubers cause you almost never get these recs
haha, did not expect to see Niko in this one lol but enjoyable vid overall
I deeply resent your booktuber friend's summary of Tigana. May his floor forever undulate so his bookshelves will look crooked XD
This was great
I haven't laughed at a single tiktok in the last two weeks like I did at the end of this video, a masterpiece))
I haven't laughed so loud in a while...that ending was great.
You said he can write a book, that is a severe understatement that could write the entire of history of the universe in year in 20 1000 page books his I envy his writing speed
Not to be that person, but in 2012 The Fifth Season hasn't come out or been written yet. N. K. Jemisin's The Hundred Thousand Kingdoms came out in probably 2012, and if I'm not wrong, it was her first full length novel?
😂 I love that she did the video call sounds
I was happy to see Uglies on this list! I really loved that series as a teenager.
Lmao that intro. I thought you were going to say “but can he READ a book?”
Can't wait for the dresden files reviews in the future
Letsgoooo Merphy!
i did not expect that ending at all
omg that ending was actually hilarious
I don't want to offend you because that was a hilarious video, well done. But I laughed so hard because this is exactly how American corporations do their worldwide surveys.🤣🤣🤣
hahahahahaha Oh my gosh, the ending is GREAT!
10/10 would recommend this video as evidence against Brando Sando’s taste in books 😂
I actually will pick up Tigana, thank you very much.
While I personally didn't love it, it is a brilliantly written book that I highly recommend, just wasn't for me.
I'm dying with that ending 😂😂
I was not expecting that end at all but I should have known better hahaha
Merphy, what Terry Pratchett novel do you recommend as the best stand alone story? I want to read one but I don't have it in me to read a long series right now.
It’s almost all standalone. I thought “Thud!” Was just fantastic.
All Terry Pratchett's books are standalones set it the same world. You can start anywhere.
On this list I have read and loved all of the following...
Melanie Rawn - The Dragon Prince Trilogy and The Dragon Star Trilogy
Patrik Rothfuss - The two that are out - I will die salty
Steven Erikson - The Malazan Book of the Fallen
Jim Butcher - Furies of Cauldera and The Dresden Files
George RR Martin - First four books in Song of Ice and Fire - still salty
Funnily enough, I did read Anne McCaffrey as a kid, but not Pern. I will get there, though. I have to read them physically and, as an ND parent of an ND kid, I just don't have a lot of time for that. (I listen to audiobooks so I can still keep my most favorite hobby in the face of life and I just can't stand the narrators). I also have Tigana in my library and intend to give N.K. Jamison a try when I come back around to an epic fantasy kick. Sir Terry Pratchett was a genius of a man but I really have never been able to deal with his writing style. I'm going to give him a try on audiobook soon. He's hilarious and I loved Good Omens with Neil Gaiman (one of my absolutely favorite people) and I actually feel bad that I've never been able to read his books. 😂
damn that last call had me in stitches LMAO
😂😂 Love everything about this video
What an interesting video to wake up to.
I read a review that Sanderson wrote on Goodreads for the novel "Foundryside" by Robert Jackson Bennett. He gave it 5 Stars.
Yes I loved this video!
I totally laughed out loud at the end.
OMG I NEED A 4 HOUR CHAT WITH TORI PLS
You've got 9 excellent books on your shelf. Abercrombie, baby!
I love Fitz, I love the Fool
Even more... there ... I said it...
Brandon should write a book called the undulator
I freaking love this lol
Lightbringer was AMAZING. absolute standout series for me. also there's five books, not four!
This is gunna be one one of those days when my TBR eats his fill. The glutton!
I literally never know if the next Merphy vid will be serious or a parody 😂😂
I've been curious about The Dragonriders of Pern and it seems interesting. I haven't read it yet, but since you seem to have a similar taste in books, I'm curious as to why you didn't like it?
Ok, that was a spectacular ending!
Lol this video was incredible
best sanderson cameo ever 😂
Merphy and her serious videos… almost. He just talked about his author tier list so it was well timed too. 😂
You hung up on Brandon?!? How DARE you, Merphy. Man doesn't even take my calls, and I have questions.
Just kidding, of course. Funny stuff.
Very fun video.
Brandon looked like he just heard that his favorite grandmother had passes away or something
BAHAHAH that last segment
In addition to Dresden Files, Jim wrote an AMAZING Spider-Man novel.
👀
JUSTICE FOR RAWN'S DRAGON PRINCE
Merph, how did I miss this one 😢😅
Hahahaha I loved this!
haha ! It took me a minute to realize this was all a joke (until the "call" with Brandon, I am afraid to admit). So I must say I was deeply offended by your Fitz and Prism opinion until that point... 😀
I like Cam Reeds t-shirt where'd he get it?
The fake dialing noises 🤣😂😅
