Episode 64; Road Brothers, Review

15/11/2017

Mark Lawrence returns to the world of the Broken Empire with this collection of 14 short stories.

The main focus is Jorg Ancrath and the "Brothers" we met within the series. This allows Mark Lawrence to flesh out the characters he created. As a listener this is a wonderful insight into the thought process behind the players we find within the trilogy.

Narrated by Sean Ohlendorf one of my favourite voices in fantasy.

Episode 50; Two top five Audiobook choices.

17/10/2017

For our fiftieth episode I thought it would be fun to do something a little different. So I invited Alex from the Tangents Entertained Podcast on to chat about his top five choices in audiobooks.

So sit back as we both try to highlight some of the titles we think are worthy of your time.

We apologise for the slight audio issues are the end of the show.

Episode 49; Godsgrave, Review

10/10/2017

Mia Corvere is proving to be a captivating leading character. This second book in the Nevernight Chronicles throws as much at her as Jay Kristoff seems to be able to dream up and still she keeps fighting. Unfortunately for our Mia, Mr Kristoff seems to have a vicious streak as he makes the obstacles to her revenge ever higher as the book goes on.

I'm throughly in love with the series and I would feel it remiss not to tell readers to jump onto the first book first a review of which you can find here.

Episode 43; Nevernight, Review

22/9/2017

Mia is a young girl of 10 when her life as she knows it is taken away. This leads her into the arms of a mysterious stranger with a cause and ultimately into full time education.

Unfortunately the academic establishment she joins is not a normal school but instead a church dedicated to the training of assassins.

Jay Kristoff creates a rich world that manages to feel both fresh and familiar and populates it with a rich array of characters that test Mia right to the very end.

Episode 31; The Legion of Flame: Book Two of the Draconis Memoria, Review

3/8/2017

Continuing on from The Waking Fire Anthony Ryan builds on his already rich world with this second book of the Draconis Memoria series.

With new perils and history coming to the fore the book both captivates and adds layers of complexity to the story that are sure to please.

One note is the change of narrator which did take some adjusting to but in the end Steve West proves to be more than capable of the job of helming this pretty monstrous listen.

Episode 2; Red Sister: Book of the Ancestor, Book 1; Review

12/5/2017

In this review we look at Mark Lawrence's new title Red Sister. As the title suggests it is the first of a new series entitled the Book of the Ancestor and as such introduces us to a new world and cast of characters.Not only that but a new narrator of Lawrence's work in Helen Duff.

Thankfully the two come together to make an epic start to a series and you can hear Paul's thoughts on why by hitting the download link below.
