We discuss Siege and Storm (Book 2 in the Shadow and Bone trilogy) by Leigh Bardugo. Willow couldn't join us today - she had some important TV watching to get to. I apologize for the assorted bird/wind noises - we currently have to record outside because of the coronavirus.

We discuss parts 4 and 5 of The Toll (Book 3 in the Arc of a Scythe). Points of discussion include non-fanservice-y endings, fast vs. slow books (again), and how this is Evan's perfect book. To read fanfiction on this series, go here: https://www.fanfiction.net/book/Arc-of-a-Scythe/

We discuss Under the Never Sky  by Veronica Rossi. This was our first (and hopefully only) episode that we're recording remotely, so the audio quality on Dana's end isn't the best, and there was a bunch of intermittent background noise. Sorry about that.

Mark as Played

We discuss Through the Ever Night by Veronica Rossi. We had to cut a large part of this episode out due to complete ineptitude on Evan's part to make good analogies. It will be uploaded as a bonus episode at the same time as this episode. Happy Friday the 13th, everyone!
