I loved David Gemmel as a kid. I remember when I find out the the post apocalypse world with guns was the same world as one with Roman gods. Bloodstones!

Tip for an amazing first in a series. Hild by Nicola Griffith. Perfect book if you like historical fiction that reads like fantasy and is completely immersive. So many readers of this book said they cried at the end of this because they didn’t want it to end. The second book though different is equally amazing, moving and I would say this series is as good as the Dreaming of. I hope you read them!

I've been meaning to get into The Winter King. I started it on Kindle a while back and was blown away by how well it was written. But somehow I did not continue and focused on other books. Now, with autumn/winter ahead of us I am planning on reading the trilogy. I did get the Audible version but returned it due to it having too long "chapters". Like 2-3 hours long. I usually listen to audiobooks in bed and tend to fall asleep. So I prefer it if it is served in smaller chunks 😂 But I think I'll get the physical copy sometime soon and then start the journey.

I very much agree with your first pick, gents! In fact, I agree so much that I'm planning to reread it soon, taking motivation from the read along happening on your Discord. 😁Some other great picks here too!

I have just added so many to my wishlist! I finished Dreaming The Eagle a couple of weeks ago and I absolutely loved it, I can't wait to read the next one. Being from Colchester it was especially good. I just have the last one of the wolf den to read, also adore that series. Love Bloodsworn 😊 I have so many series to start and to finish, who doesn't love a series?!

Yes, Assassin’s Apprentice ❤ I read all 16 books back-to-back, I was also addicted. Loved Hunger of the Gods (I need to re read soon). Game of Thrones, big yes! Empire of the Vampire was a surprise for me as I wasn’t expecting to love it so much, plus I learned some new swear words 😂. The Silence of the Girls was an excellent story, so well crafted and a 5* for me. Thanks for the other recommendations, my TBR has grown again!

I didn’t find the exposition in The Winter King at all noticeable. I loved that book and hope to experience the full glory of the audiobook which I hear is fantastic. Dreaming the Eagle is coming with me during my program in Spain, I swear on saints’ bones. One of my favorite first books is The Last Wish. I have listened to that audiobook three times and there is something absolutely magical about to me. The short story The Last Wish is in there so that elevates the whole collection. 🇵🇱 I too had books taken out of my room as punishment. Our parents were so cruel weren’t they? 😅 Happy reading! 📖

Great video! My nominations for best first books in a series are below. I personally think a good first book in a series can read as a self contained story. 1. The Fifth Season by N.K Jemisin - just such a STRONG book that hits you like an avalanche. The sequels couldn’t really do the first book justice but it’s worth a read. 2. Hyperion by Dan Simmons - a Classic SF that is really mind blowing considering when it was written. A perfect book that frankly didn’t even need the sequels IMO. 3. Perdido Street Station by China Mieville. - Just a weird, fascinating, gross and beautiful novel with some of the strangest world building I’ve ever read, yet with a real line into our real world problems and reality. 4. Foundryside by Robert Jackson Bennet - what a fun ride, could have been standalone and I would’ve been satisfied, great magic system too. 5. Sixteen Ways to Defend a Walled City by KJ Parker - Seiges! Trebuchets! Untrustworthy narrators! It has it all.

Did not like Red Rising and just finished Golden Son. They did not feel right, dialogue heavy, maybe better consumed in Audiobook. Every page just had characters talking non-stop. I prefer a bit more introspection, walking in their shoes as a 1st person perspective. Onto We Are The Dead now, feels much better.

I am not sure when I can dive into those two books, though. I'm preparing to begin a new preK school year and preparing our classroom for the little students' first day next week! I'm committed to buddy reading this book, you may have heard of... Shadow of the Gods 😃📖. As of September 1st, my reading will be lit with the world of The Bloodsworn, and I'm very excited.
