It’s been a long time coming, but we are finally taking a look at the sequel to Blood Song in Antony Ryan’s Tower Lord.

This is part two in this trilogy, and it’s nice to see Ryan flex his skills. He’s really an amazing fantasy writer. Albeit, I can struggle quite a bit with some of his plot devices. Despite grievances on that subject with part one; this time he fares better.

This time we won’t push into massive two-parter episodes. You’ll have to settle with something a bit more succinct ^^

God, I should be a dentist I do so much filling. DERP!!

Not, the best, I have a point. Sadly, I don’t do as good a job as I thought conveying that point. Oh, well. You know it by this point; some episodes are going to be a bit like this. At least its short ^^

GABRIELLE (not Gabriella) Zevin’s hit novel Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow is chock full of beauty, passion and humanity. And yet, for me it does not hit the same way as it seems to have done for so many others. Surprised?

I don’t hate it, but I do leave this one with a lot of small things bugging me. Join me as I take a swing at this beloved novel.

In this episode I talk about Tower Lord and Sorcery of Thorns. One uses the plot device "unlikely allies" well, and the other does not. At least according to the gospel of this old fool; something that is important to always remember heading into one of my episodes ^^

Not much to say here, it's some general thoughts about incorporating audio books into the mix!

Spoilers, I have recently finished my first audio book, and I think it works great. It will also mean more reviews, so win-win, unless you hate the podcast, then it's really bad for you ^^

I’ve been thinking about writing again. Yet, I’m not sure how I want to go about it – and exactly what to write? It can be hard to figure out an idea about what to write about, and how to actually find the time, drive and committing to an idea. It’s scary, but it’s part of it.

I like the subject for this episode. Alright for a filler!

Let's try a new episode format, and see how we feel about this one =)

We are closing in on the end of quadrilogy. One more to go, and I’ll likely start reading that pretty soon. Sadly, this part was not on par with the other parts. I struggled to connect to the characters although the world-building is solid as usually with Chambers.

Don’t let that scare you away from part one, and especially part two. They are very much stand-alone after all! We’ll see where the final book in the series lands, and then we’ll probably analyze the entire series as well.
