Transcript

The only book series I've read three times. This is the only book series I've read 3 times. So if you've read a book series 3 times, let me know in the comments what it is. I'd love your recommendations. So you're gonna want to bookmark this video because of everybody else's recommendations in here. If you don't know me, my name is Steven Aitchison. I'm a full-time author and I give daily book recommendations and audiobook recommendations and I do funny sketches on bookish things on here as well. So this series was recommended to me in 2020 and I couldn't believe I've not read it before because I've never really been into this type of kind of genre as high fantasy. And so always high fantasy I'd been looking at, can I try David Eddings and stuff like that before and I've never really got into it when I was younger. But when I tried this series, it just blew my mind and opened up a whole new world. And the series is, you probably know it, it is the Mistborn series by Brandon Sanderson. So we got Mistborn which is the first book. We have Well of Ascension, which is the second book. And we have The Hero of Ages, which is the third book in the series. It's just an absolute delight to kind of read these and listen to them. I read and listen at the same time. I don't know if anybody else does that. But it's just, it's just amazing. I can't, I can't describe how it feels to be honest when I'm reading this and it just makes me want to be a better writer. Every time I listen to this series as well. So I would love your recommendations on the series that you've read two or three times.
