My favorite chapter from Hyperion was the one of the colonel. Y’all said it was bad, but you have to think about his perspective. He was a warrior, a fighter and he fell in love with it. He fell in love with the battle and he would fight and meet his lover, his enemy on the other side of the battlefield. He would fight and thend he would make love to the alluring woman that haunted his dreams. The point is revealed because he crash land on Hyperion and there he found his lover, but she reveals who she is and he’s mortified. The person he pursued on each battlefield and in combat was his lover. It was like the most tragic of all the stories because he chases this dream and this love only to find out he has been groomed to be the leader of the most destructive force in the galaxy. It’s crazy and only like the third story in the book, but the brutality, the erotica, and the revelation of the truth hit really hard. He changed his whole life because he found out what he was supposedly predestined to do.
I also remember reading the Magicians Nephew very early on and it also blew me away. Definitely better than Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe in terms of mind being blown
I very much enjoyed mame of the wind. There are definitely some great characters but nothing rich says is necessarily wrong. I just enjoy that slice of life feeling writing

great video! im a new fan off of your wheel of time reviews. perhaps the worst take on modern art ive heard in a very long time, but yalls dynamic is excellent
Spaghetti western is S tier just for Bud Spencer and Terence Hil movies, normal westerns are C tier i'd say. Edit: Also you should try reading something from Emilio Salgari. He is basically considered the grandfather of spaghetti westerns.
I personally didn’t enjoy the “Three Body Problem”. Barely finished first book and won’t return to second/third. I consider it to be way too overrated.
Two Book UA-camrs talking about Genres and can’t remember the name of War of The Worlds, arguably one of the most famous alien invasion stories of all time 😂😂
REED the name of the wind irs HArry potter mixed with Full metal alchemist you cannot not like it , and even there Dragons or the dragon is interesting take. BUT LOVE YOUR OPINION
The dragon at the end of Name of the Wind was an atrocious addition, one I believe, was forced upon us by the publisher or agent, needing a climax at the end. That Dena was there also made it contrived and annoying. The end didn’t fit the rest of the book. But as a whole, it was still pretty great despite a trope I’d like to coin, “imbecilic choices of the main character.” His second book had the main POV doing similar stupid shit. However… by the end of it, minus the dragon, and minus his dumb choices, I walked away from both, and I recently reread them in audio, I walked away missing the world Rothfuss made and the characters he brought to life. Wise Man’s Fear was superior to the first. I am a fan.
True - thats a miss on our part. I think we did cover time travel in the trope tier list though in a previous episode, but wouldve been useful here too
maybe you're just associating the Dystopian genre with shitty YA Dystopian novels which flooded the markets in the 2000s, lmao. I personally think some of the best speculative fiction is dystopian - 1984, Fahrenheit 451, The Handmaid's Tale, and many others. I disagree that The Poppy War is dystopian though, the plot doesn't take place in the middle of an oppressive regime, it takes in the middle of war and revolution
About the meme's life expectancy (lol) you can know a meme is dead just by seeing company/ads using them to appeal to a younger generation, it goes into the parody stuff as well very nice points on this section
It’s great to see this video and hear these objectively correct opinions. Before seeing this I didn’t know what to think of most of these genres, now thanks to my masters I know exactly what to think. All hail the crimson king.
How do you guys read so much? With all my other hobbies I find it so hard to make time to read. It takes me nearly a month to finish a non-stormlight archive sized book.
We’re actually not the most efficient relative to other Booktubers but there’s definitely a huge incentive - one huge plus is that we have eachother to talk about a book with so having a reading buddy really helps. Or in Rich and I’s case reading aquantainces 🤓
If you want historical fantasy, you should read Guy Gavriel Kay's stuff. I recommend starting with Tigana, Sailing to Sarantium, or the Lions of Al-Rassan. The thing is they don't have magic or fantasy creatures and stuff like that, so if you don't like that then maybe don't read it. His books are masterpieces though. And also the Grace of Kings, which you're going to read, I believe, is great. A bit odd, though, in its structure and the way it's written . . . you'll understand when you read it.
Steampunk? Psychedelic sci fi? Dying Earth sci fi? Time travel? You missed a lot of important genres Also you mentioned a couple of movies but failed to mention they were adapted from books, such as War of the Worlds and Arrival.
Superhero Fantasy should be EASY to write in novel form. Technically speaking stories like Drizzt, Elric, Vampire Hunter D, and so on are successful borderline Superhero Fantasy. We're just waiting for someone to pull it off. Like My Hero Academia would be a GREAT novel series for example.
"There's not one good character." That's wild. I guess that is how literature works, because Name of the Wind is one of my favorite books of all time and I loved the character work.
Funny you say that. I read Dragons of the Dwarven Depts recently and enjoyed it so decided to revisit the original series and did not love it like I once did.
AMAZING superhero fantasy: "Steelheart" and ther rest of "The Reckoners" series by Brandon Sanderson. It adds a twist to the general idea of the genre, but I think it should qualify here!
When I was little I read a book about a girl who sows clothes and lives with a dragon. It had a dragon in it. I'm only now realizing that it was a dragon book for girls 😆 Edit: found it. "Dragon Slippers" by Jessica Day George
Mistborn - Hero of ages - slight spoiler incoming The threat of extinction here is the main issue to get invested I'd say. The characters etc. Make it great but the book wouldn't work without a scope of that magnitude. Everything up until now was dystopian and dreadful wars to some degree but the level of desperation the Hero of ages brings to the table needed a world ending (extinction) threat in order to be convincing and also in order to increase the tension and elevate the scope of the trilogies ending
You guys need to read the prequel to a fire upon the deep called the deepness in the sky. The characters are better and it deals with an invasion of sort.
I whole heartedly agree with Rich the philosophical quandaries in Sci Fi are my favorite parts. It's why I need to force my self to read Dune I have all the Frank Herbert novels but keep putting it off.
I really liked prince of thorns it's the one book of his i loved out of that trilogy and prince of fools. It was so nasty and mean spirited and id never read anything quite that tone. Cant blame anyone that stops on that first chapter though.
I love Name of the wind and I have to disagree with Ol' Richard here. Austin. I think you would love it as well. Setting whatever feelings you may have about the author aside. I think the worldbuilding, characters, and magic system is some of the most interesting content in modern fantasy. There are plenty of great characters, who have deep flaws. Kvothe, the main character is often said to be a Mary Sue and uninteresting, but I disagree! He is such a flawed character who makes a ton of mistakes but has a talent of actually learning from his mistakes (except from one tragic aspect in his life). I highly recommend reading it. If not for the pod, then for yourself so you have establish your own opinion
I think you might be confusing Absurdism. It is more related to Nihilism and Existentialism. There is a key element of “life is pointless” is Aburdism.
You are talking about a very specific execution of Utopia plots like it’s representative of the concept. If you are really passionate about a subversion of the genre, then you don’t really like the genre do you?
I would say Outlaw Star is the perfect example of sci-fi fantasy. From Jean Starwind having a gun that shoot special and expensive bullets that cast powerful spells to him trying to figure out on how to defeat supernatural foes eith abilities that far exceed his. Just following the simple rule that not everyone has the access to magic can open doors to great dynamic storytelling.
