I'm on a mission to help you find your new favourite books.

This video is a spoiler free and (barely) unbiased introduction on The Realm of the Elderlings. Ideal for new readers who want to know more about the series concept, reading order, and if it's worth the commitment to read all 16 books.

I cover characters and plotlines, building a world of secrets, content guide/warnings, and readability report. Plus there's a whole lotta love for these incredible books!
