    Hey Listeners, we're back from a long hiatus, sort of. I had several episodes that were in my editing backlog that I'm going to upload now, and once they're all up (limited on hours-per-month to upload) we'll have a discussion/announcment about the future of the show. For now, just understand that editing was draining on me and so I'm going to do much less of that now, so forgive the random background noises or 3 second silences I used to take out.

    My sincerest apologies.
    -----------

    The last of the backlog, this episode was requested by a member of our discord, and the Author himself. Smash the World's Shell is a forbidden friendship story, where a human and a dragon meet and become friends, despite the fact that their respective species are enemies, so much as both sides believing that the other are monsters, incapable of speech. Their personal stories also revolve around expectations, and even gender norms.

    By the author's request, we have a content warning:

    "This is a healing story, but the journey towards catharsis winds through dark, thorny territory. Potentially triggering content includes: verbal and physical abuse, suicide, suicidal ideation, loss of a parent at a young age, and self-harm."

    This episode features another Film, new (at time up recording) on Netflix, called Damsel. It follows a maiden who is to be ritualistically sacrificed to a dragon, as part of a payment the dragon demands in retribution for what some old and long dead king did.

    Unfortunately the film does feature the dragon as the villain, but with good CG and decent writing, the story goes in an acceptable (as deemed by Rei) place.

    We continue the All the Skills series with the latest installment (at the time of recording, as of uploading book 4 is now released), that follows Arthur with his new dragon companion, Brixaby (who we love) as they attempt to grow into their role, but honestly end up forced into a side quest.

    Luckily, the side quest is enjoyable and answers quite a few questions our hosts had at the last recording.

    That said, in this episode we review one of Rei's favorite new book series, and one that he found completely by accident. All the Skills is a litrpg, card based dragon-riding story that follows an outcast, son of a criminal, who happens upon a very powerful card, one usually reserved for nobility, that causes him to enter the world of the dragon riders, hives, the Scourge, and noble politics.

    Come join us as we share this new and fascinating world with you!

    Greetings Listeners! This episode we cover the book Axtara Banking and Finance, a textbook sounding title, but a fantasy novel following a young dragoness who settles in a frontier kingdom to be the first banker of the realm there. She'll face hardships such as fantasy bigotry while trying to grow her business and show the people of the burgeoning country that she is not a monster, nor here to ruin them.

    Come join us as we cover the book, and then have some brief discussions on topics such as dragon age vs human age, the historical accuracy of medieval weaponry, and how to magical is flying anyway?

  • Eragon
    Feb 15 2024

    Welcome, Minions, to our 50th "real" Episode! (not counting filler episodes, interviews, and two parters).

    Normally, we cover what we consider to be relatively unknown topics to help you discover new things, but for this special day, we decided to cover what we thought was the post popular and well known piece of dragon literature out there: Eragon. We're sure you've all heard of it, at least in passing, so we'll just give a quick review before simply sharing our thoughts on the world, story, writing, and so on. We cover the first book, the movie, and even the game adaptation minorly.

    Bittersweet news, this is also the last episode that Dilitan will be consistently joining us on, as some additional responsibilities in life are taking up his free time now. He will pop in from time to time for some of the simpler, faster stuff, like movies, but the time sinks that are books, he will likely sit out on in the future.

    We hope you enjoy the content we bring you and stick around with us for many more episodes <3
