Sam and Dan are joined on the podcast by self-published author, Dan Hanly, to discuss his debut novel, The Great Leap (book 1 in the Children of Innauron series). SPOILER ALERT: While we try to avoid spoilers, the interview inevitably refers to events that occur throughout the book. We ask Dan all about his thinking behind the world, characters and plot in The Great Leap, along with trying to tease out some of his thinking on the rest of the series. We also cover Dan's writing philosophy and the experience of being a self-published fantasy author. TRIGGER WARNING: This episode contains references to potentially triggering adult themes contained within the book. Join in the conversation by following us on social media @EscapistsAnonymousPod.…

Sam and Dan discuss chapter 20 - the end of S.A. Chakraborty's City of Brass, book one of the Daevabad Trilogy. SPOILER ALERT: This episode contains spoilers. We strongly recommend reading the chapters we're covering before listening. Now that we have finished the book, we discuss our feelings on its conclusion, including whether it was in fact a conclusion at all. We get into what we thought of the character development in our two protagonists, Nahri and Ali, as well as the severely problematic romance with alleged war-criminal Dara. Finally, we discuss whether we plan on continuing with this trilogy. Join in the conversation by following us on social media @EscapistsAnonymousPod.…

Sam and Dan discuss chapter 10 - 19 of S.A. Chakraborty's City of Brass, book one of the Daevabad Trilogy. SPOILER ALERT: This episode contains spoilers. We strongly recommend reading the chapters we're covering before listening. We still can't really figure out where this story is heading. We're not sure who our main antagonist is supposed to be. And in some cases, we don't know if we're supposed to particularly like our main characters. In spite of all of that, we talk through the issues and make some guesses on where the City of Brass is going to end up.

We strongly recommend reading the chapters we're covering before listening. We discuss our first impressions of our two protagonists, Nahri and Ali, as well as what we think of the magical Djinn world that exists behind a veil within the recognisable 18th century real world. We try to figure out who our antagonist is and what direction this story is heading and, as alway, we try to make some predictions, which are largely just stabs in the dark!

Sam and Dan discuss chapter 38 - the end of Hannah Kaner's Sunbringer, book two of the Fallen Gods Trilogy. SPOILER ALERT: This episode contains spoilers. We strongly recommend reading the chapters we're covering before listening. We ask whether the chapter structure that this book enables the story and characters to be developed most effectively.

Sam and Dan discuss chapter 17 - 37 of Hannah Kaner's Sunbringer, book two of the Fallen Gods Trilogy. SPOILER ALERT: This episode contains spoilers. We strongly recommend reading the chapters we're covering before listening. As our main characters go about their largely separate storylines, we ponder how Hannah Kaner might bring them all back together, or not, for the climax of Sunbringer. We discuss what we have enjoyed about the building of the political world as well as getting to spend more time interacting with the various gods that have a part to play. As usual, we present theories for where Kissen, Inara, Skeddy and Elo will end up. Join in the conversation by following us on social media @EscapistsAnonymousPod.…

Sam and Dan discuss chapter 1 - 16 of Hannah Kaner's Sunbringer, book two of the Fallen Gods Trilogy. SPOILER ALERT: This episode contains spoilers. We strongly recommend reading the chapters we're covering before listening. In our first return to a world we have visited before on the podcast, we catch up with Kissen, Elo, Inara and Skedi. We explore the difference and challenges that the 2nd or middle book in a trilogy presents. We discuss the introduction of a new perspective, King Aaron, and we debate whether there is a good man somewhere inside him. And we put forward our (usually crackpot) theories for where this epic story is heading. Join in the conversation by following us on social media @EscapistsAnonymousPod.…

Sam and Dan discuss chapter 42 - the end of Carissa Broadbent's The Serpent and the Wings of Night. SPOILER ALERT: This episode contains spoilers. We strongly recommend reading the chapters we're covering before listening. We reach the mighty climax of Oraya's journey through Carissa Broadbent's world of sexy vampires, and so we come to some conclusions on what we thought of the story overall. We discuss how we felt about the Kejari as a plot mechanism. We discuss the twists and turns of the final chapters that took us by surprise. And we address the longest passage of eroticism that either of us has ever read. As usual, we ask our end-of-book key questions, and then we announce our next read.

Sam and Dan discuss chapter 26 - 41 of Carissa Broadbent's The Serpent and the Wings of Night. SPOILER ALERT: This episode contains spoilers. We strongly recommend reading the chapters we're covering before listening. Things got really hot and steamy in this section of the book, and we delve uncomfortably deep into the lusty and the romantic elements of Oraya and Raihn's relationship. As war breaks out, we analyse how Vincent is 'performing' as Vincent the King and Vincent the father. We try to guess who 'Nessanine' might be, as a character from Raihn's past. And, as usual, we make all kinds of predictions and guesses ahead of reading the final quarter of the story. Join in the conversation by following us on social media @EscapistsAnonymousPod.…

We strongly recommend reading the chapters we're covering before listening. We dive yet further into this sexy vampire-romantasy. We get into some of Oraya's daddy issues. We theorise about what makes her special, and why she is sooo delicious to all the vampires. We assess the main love interest, Raihn, and debate whether we think we're headed in a more lusty or romantic direction... maybe it's both! And as usual, we have lots of predictions to share about where we're going to end up. Join in the conversation by following us on social media @EscapistsAnonymousPod.…

We strongly recommend reading the chapters we're covering before listening. We've got a brand new book to deep-dive into. It's supposed to be one of the hottest books of the year, featuring sexy vampires and a Hunger Games-style life-or-death contest.

Now that we're over half-way through the book, we discuss how much better we've got to now Shiori. We assess the suspicious actions of the highly unlikeable Zirina.

And, as usual, we lay out our theories for where this fairy tale fantasy story is heading. Join in the conversation by following us on social media @EscapistsAnonymousPod.…
