Book Review: Between Dragons and Their Wrath by Devin Madson

_Book Review: Between Dragons and Their Wrath by Devin Madson_ In which three people stumble into conspiracies, politics and dark secrets. #books #fantasy #bookreview

I have some complicated feelings about this book. On one hand, it’s extremely well written,  with some fascinating worldbuilding. On the other hand, the Protagonists are trashfires and I want to strangle them a little bit. (Silver lining: I am very engaged in reading. Lead lining: these people are trashfires.) This book is split between three characters, Tesha, an apprentice glassmaker with…

Book Review: Blood of the Old Kings by Sung-il Kim

_Book Review: Blood of the Old Kings by Sung-il Kim_ What if the evil empire was evil, but the alternative was possibly worse? #books #bookreview #fantasy

Blood of the Old Kings seems to ask the question, “what if the Evil Empire was Evil, but the alternative is possibly worse?” The Empire in Blood of the Old Kings is incredibly vast and has managed to conquer the entire world. (It’s organization is very Roman Empire themed, and the overal feel is very Western fantasy setting.) It is an empire run on the power generated by dead sorcerers. There are…

Two British Fantasy Authors, a play in one act.

JRR Tolkien: So my epic fantasy has elves and dwarves and gods and demons and vampires and werewolves.

CS Lewis: Cool cool cool.

JRR Tolkien: What about yours?

CS Lewis: Mine? It's got fauns and a witch and a talking lion and precocious children—

JRR Tolkien: I like the talking lion.

CS Lewis: —and Santa Claus.

JRR Tolkien: ...

JRR Tolkien: ...

JRR Tolkien: What?

CS Lewis: Santa Claus. You know, "ho ho ho."

JRR Tolkien: I know Santa Claus! I wrote the book on Santa Claus! But you can't have Santa Claus in your High Fantasy!"

CS Lewis: Why not? You have Tom Bombadil!

JRR Tolkien: HOW DARE YOU

damn i almost wish the intrepid heroes had done worse this episode because the concept is of this battle was epic as hell. i would have loved to see more of baron being creepy, a confrontation with jawbone and i would have loved to see the other players play baron
