it just so happens that one of my favourite booktubers is talking about a book ive heard recently and am excited about. i guess i have no choice but to read it really soon.
I agree so much with everthing you say about the four main characters and the world building being explained through songs, I esp loved that way of letting the reader know more about the world. Tarisai did some truly amazingly dangerous things to protect Dayo and I RESPECT HER. I'm definitely rereading it soon!
I constantly theorize when I read and it's fun! I'm still learning how to turn that part off though because I'll start thinking about my own stories and no reading will get done🤣 hopefully this will get added to my library because I'm ready for it!
Raybearer is the book that i started yesterday and im so in love with all 4 characters. Omg this book is the first fantasy book that i really love and looking forward to sequal this year... Highly recommend.... Ahhhhh I can't get over the cover and i have my theories abt it.......
Jesse from bowtiesandbooks recommended this book, too. I kind of forgot why I wanted to read it, so I’m glad u made this video it renewed my interest! I wouldn’t call this spoiler freeeee but I will likely forget by the time this comes out so that’s ok !! 💕
I literally found this channel today and have been watching it all day. My wallet is crying lol, I've purchased SOOO much fantasy thanks to Joel's recommendations. This channel is everything I wanted in booktube YEARS ago: A booktuber who actually demonstrates not only an awareness of race, capitalism, the dangers of fast fashion, etc. but also a willingness and drive to continue to learn and grow in his knowledge the world around us. I could cry. And he recommends great booktubers too! I hope for nothing but joy for Joel. May life continue to bring you blessings and great news!
I'm so happy you did this book talk and *hopefully more* !! Not a lot of people on booktube don't do it as much anymore and I'm happy you did🥺✌🏼 I LOVE THIS AND YOU
This isn’t the sort of book I normally pick up, but I’m definitely sold! Plus those COVERS! 😍 Also let me just say that yellow shirt is gorgeous on you!
I saw your thumbnail and immediately went, "Okay that's enough talking, I need to go get this book" and preordered it! It'll come in early September but iss okay. I can wait 😵
Sounds interesting! I'll look forward to any of your recommendations. Thanks to your reading vlog I started the Daevabad trilogy and I'm loving it so so so so much!! (I just read the prologue of Kingdom of Copper and... I mean, hello? 🤯)
Now I want ... no I NEED to read that book !!! *-* I don't know if I have enough vocabulary in english to read it but I don't care I WANT that book now! No thanks to you (I'm kidding thanks a lot to make me discover that book)
I'm on chapter 17 right now. It took my autistic brain a while to let the story wash over me, but now it flows like lava, with the occasional tsunami. I'm thoroughly enjoying it.
Hi Joel I hope you still read the comments on this video but you should read The Gilded Ones. That might even replace the new favorite titel 😉 it did for me. If this was a chocolate cake then The Gilded Ones is a triple chocolate wedding cake 😂 no I don't know.. Just saying. I think you'll like the book 😊 love your videos btw. Your an inspiration.
This just made me want to spend the little amount of money I have in books🤣🤣🤣 btw if you see this I'm also writing a high fantasy book and I loved the video of talking about your process because I couldn't relate to anybody till you spoke
I'm hearing a lot of good reviews about this book, but the comparison with children of blood and bone scares me a little, cause that book and its sequel were underwhelming the story, (avatar with black people) the characters development, the world building the magic system and especially the WRITING !! sigh, it read like a fanfiction book, I enjoyed your review I would still buy this book
Asexual representation in books, especially fantasy, is SO IMPORTANT!
@jolie I infinitely agree!
the writing shines, the cover shines, and the book is called raybearer? The power
Joel reviewing a book I haven't even heard about but still watching because it's Joel.
akdkskdkxk
he said ✨💫 ITS VERY RICH 💫✨
we love ✨RICHNESS✨
I love reading books that just make you search nervously for a sequel and cry when you realise it's not out yet lol
YESSSS
Me: *hasn't heard of a book*
Joel: hold my matcha
Really random but I just got a cat and I’m in love 🥰
ok 10 mins into the video and u’ve already convinced me to add this to my never ending TBR list
DO IT DO IT
Raybearer sun earrings!! YASSSS LOVE IT! ♥♥
FINALLY A BOOKTUBER TALKING ABOUT RAYBEARER OMG 😍😭
U and some other booktubers have the BEST upload schedule, it feels like u upload every day.
Thanks so much for the content we’re LOVING IT.
Ahahah, I don’t think I could ever upload everyday but I’m super happy you’re enjoying!

Ummm we need some "ITS VERY RICH" merch ASAP!
Because of you and Noria, I preordered that book and wasn't disappointed. I really really enjoyed and wanna reread it again
I literally just finished this book and I'm sooo excited you're reviewing it!! And you're right it's an amazing book
I love both Raybearer and its sequel Redemptor. It might be my fave fantasy YA or fave YA in general. It's well-done and so comforting.
I constantly theorize when I read and it's fun! I'm still learning how to turn that part off though because I'll start thinking about my own stories and no reading will get done🤣 hopefully this will get added to my library because I'm ready for it!
LMAO I HAVE BEEN CALLED OUT
