This video is Part 1 of a new mini-series that I'm starting on my channel. It was originally supposed to be titled High Fantasy Book Recommendations for Beginners so mirror the previous video that I did for Sci-fi book recommendations. But as it turns out, I really a lot of (adult) HIGH FANTASY, and just had way too much content. (This is a 17 min video that I planned to be the first 1 min of my original idea.) So I will have a total of 7 videos for you in this series, which I'll link here as they are released. I hope you enjoy watching and Happy Reading!
