Hi everyone! Today's video is a special edition review of Empire of Silence Diamond Edition by Christopher Ruocchio. Like The Gunmetal Gods Ultimate Collector's edition, which I just showcased last week, this is one of my most anticipated editions of the year. I mean, it IS a special edition of The Sun Eater series! I bought this Diamond edition last September, and after more than a year of waiting, it is finally here. It's a beautiful edition, and today, I discuss what I like and what I think can be improved on the next Diamond edition in the series! Overall, this is a great publication. Well done, Christopher Ruocchio and everyone involved!
