  • #17 Sunbringer: Chapter 1 - 16
    Dec 10 2024

    Sam and Dan discuss chapter 1 - 16 of Hannah Kaner's Sunbringer, book two of the Fallen Gods Trilogy.

    SPOILER ALERT: This episode contains spoilers. We strongly recommend reading the chapters we're covering before listening.

    In our first return to a world we have visited before on the podcast, we catch up with Kissen, Elo, Inara and Skedi. We explore the difference and challenges that the 2nd or middle book in a trilogy presents. We discuss the introduction of a new perspective, King Aaron, and we debate whether there is a good man somewhere inside him. And we put forward our (usually crackpot) theories for where this epic story is heading.

  • #16 The Serpent and the Wings of Night: Chapter 42 - End
    Nov 26 2024

    Sam and Dan discuss chapter 42 - the end of Carissa Broadbent's The Serpent and the Wings of Night.

    SPOILER ALERT: This episode contains spoilers. We strongly recommend reading the chapters we're covering before listening.

    We reach the mighty climax of Oraya's journey through Carissa Broadbent's world of sexy vampires, and so we come to some conclusions on what we thought of the story overall. We discuss how we felt about the Kejari as a plot mechanism. We discuss the twists and turns of the final chapters that took us by surprise. And we address the longest passage of eroticism that either of us has ever read. As usual, we ask our end-of-book key questions, and then we announce our next read.
