The book is only 9.99 on Kindle! I bought it instantly! I am so excited to read this book! Thank you for the recommendation! Based on your video it is going to be amazing plus I love a Black Author! Cannot wait!

You know what you've done, Dom? You've officially screwed up my reading list. I'm halfway through Ringworld thanks to you, and now I gotta shove Raybearer into the queue as well, pushing everything else back. (Shakes fist)

Adding it to my TBR list. And I've got an audible credit coming tomorrow, so this might be the next book on my list. This'll be the third series that I've heard of with a focus on African-esque fantasy, the other being the Burning series by Evan Winter, and the AfricanFuturism novels of Nnedi Okorafor, she has several. Good to see the circle of books in genre fiction expanding.

I will definitely check it out once the libraries reopen where I am. In the meantime, if you enjoy fantasies in non-European settings, might I recommend "Gods of Jade and Shadow"? Very different from what it sounds like this book is about, but still good in its own right.

Yep. I’m convinced. And I like the audible narrator you listed. I’ve bought it, next crafting day I’ll have a good story to listen to!

I enjoyed your "moth to a flame" impression, Dom, actual LOL from that. I can't wait for your next rec, it's great to hear you enthuse like this. Plus, I had an audible credit waiting for something so now I got a new listen!

They say don't judge a book by it's cover but DANG what a pretty cover. And I just bought it! It sounds really interesting, I feel like I could find some inspiration from it, and I'd love to see a canonically ace character in a book, haven't seen that before. :D

I happened to have an Audible credit to spare, so I bought it. It seems a bit short (14 hours), but I'm looking forward to it. I just started ADWD, so I have 40+ hours left of GRRM. I've been looking for some other stuff to listen to afterwards (I already finished A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms and I'm not going to listen to 26 hours of the Targaryen encyclopedia).

I can recommend the audio book - the narrator was fantastic and really adds to the atmosphere of the story! Regarding the algorithm, is posting the advanced access on a second channel having a negative impact on the primary channel? I ask because I tend to only watch videos once, so that means if I've watched the early access on the second channel I won't click on the video once it's on the primary channel. Just a thought.

The way you describe the prince somewhat reminds me of Carrot Ironfoundersson.

I doubt it. The video linked here has (at the time of this comment) 229 views. That is laughably few compared to the 42.440 of the video on the main channel - 0,5%.

I heard about this book for the first time the day before your review came out so I knew I had to find it immediately lol

I have purchased the book, and currently reading, and am VERY MUCH enjoying it!! (currently at 26%). If you haven't tried any of Ursula Vernon's / T. Kingfisher's work, I highly recommend it! I had to read her latest, _Paladin's Strength_ before I could start _Raybearer_. (With your attraction to swords, you may like _Swordheart_. https://www.librarything.com/work/22538687 )

And another series for me to look into, just as soon as I finish Harrow then Ninth and Dark Lord of Derkholm.

Kelley Runyon

Watched this review with my husband and he bought the book for our Kindles as soon as the episode ended. Very much looking forward to reading it. Also, while I enjoy hilarious takes on shitty media as much as the next person, it is also really, really, really nice to see reviews of *great* media enthusiastically delivered! Thank you!

I think half of my audio wishlist is now filled up with your recommendations.

You've probably already heard about it, but _Raybearer_ is nominated for the Lodestar Award for Best Young Adult Book (Not a Hugo, but awarded at the same time...) https://discon3.org/whats-on/hugo-awards-wsfs/hugo-awards/ I am going to have a hard time deciding between this and T. Kingfisher's book, _A Wizard's Guide to Defensive Baking_...

I just fished reading this book, more I'm going to watch the video.
