John please join the live discussion for Mistress, you should have been on the first two panels. Please check out Kit’s World review of the trilogy, it is delightful and funny!! Mara is Dani with a touch of Cersei! Empire is GOT before GOT, it is a classic that is more modern than modern! I think Wurts could finish The Song of Ice & Fire too!
Ohhh I had not had that thought of her finishing GoT. Yes I bet she could. This has moved me to want to start War of Light and Shadow. I have seems Kit’s video it is wonderful.
I'm so pleased to find someone who loves these books as much as I do! I read this trilogy long before I read the Riftwar Saga. In fact, it's the *reason* I read the Riftwar Saga lol. I enjoyed the Riftwar books, but I like these three more. ----- I have absolutely no issue with tropes. And I suspect that's actually true for a lot of people, whether they admit to it or not. After all, they became tropes for a reason and it's not because everyone hates them. ----- Heck yeah! Mara is one of the best female protagonists I've read, especially in the fantasy genre. I admit, though, that she's not my *very* favourite character in this trilogy. That place goes to Arakasi. ----- What a wonderful review. I probably shouldn't have watched it though. Now I want to go and reread the books and I've already got so much on my plate 😂.
You put into words what my thoughts on these books are very well. I simply don't get why this trilogy does get more attention, it's some of the best fantasy ever written. (So much better than A Song of Ice and Fire)
I listened to the audiobook of Daughter of the Empire. Loved it. 4.5/5. Missing 0.5 is because I felt some of her problems got solved just a bit too easily. I started book 2 after completion but halted it to read Riftwar Saga before book 2 since I heard there is some crossover. 1st Riftwar book was alright but I didnt enjoy the later ones. I will complete the empire trilogy since I liked the part of book 2 I listened to. Appreciate the video Man!
Thanks so much for watching. I think Janny Wurts does make the Empire trilogy better than the first Riftwar. There is definitely some tie in moments in book 2 and 3. Let me know what you think when you wrap up the trilogy.
It's an astonishing review! I hope to read it soon. What do you think about Shadow and Bone trilogy by Leigh Bardugo? I heard it also a strong female series.

@@literallyadele we are starting a big read of Janny Wurts big Epic series War of Light and Shadow in January if you want to plan to hop on.
@@Talking_Story What a great idea. I'm definitely in!
@@literallyadele wonderful!
Great video, John! Glad we both loved this one!
Seems like our tastes line up pretty well. It’s good to know we are wonderfully discerning readers. 😂
@@Talking_Story #GreatMindsThinkAlike 🤣
You deserve so many more subs! Love your content 😍
Thanks so much for the kind words.

It is great. I have moved onto some of Janny’s solo work and it is awesome as well!
I really need to explore her other works. A good excuse to the out of re-reading my favorites that I already read@@Talking_Story
@@iTracking check out To Ride Hell’s Chasm.

I've read many of Feist's books, but not this trilogy, you give a convincing argument 😊
Would like to try them at some point.
Let me know if you try them out.
I’m so stoked to read this and love it, it’s set in stone lol
It think it is a lock you will love it.
My favourite fantasy trilogy bar mistborn I absolutely loved Mara! This series is extremely underrated!!!!
@@jasminekyle8045 oh I could not agree more!

I have not read that 1 yet! But I just finished a stand alone work by Janny Wurts called To Ride Hell’s Chasm and I cannot recommend it highly enough!
