1:15:31

Matt and Rachel discuss the short(ish) but awesome fantasy epic, "Godkiller" by Hanah Kaner. Refreshing change from 900 page mega-epics that are half filler with a novel that packs 900 pages of story into a third the size. With ten times as much representation as any other book we've read.

Spoiler Free Book Review - "The Day Tripper (2024)" - Character growth done to perfection 39:24

2M ago39:24

39:24

I absolutely adored this book. I thought the concept was interesting, the execution was flawless, and the journey that Alex goes on was heart-breaking, inspiring, and believable. The conceit of time-travel is not new but the way that James Goodhand shapes it in this novel made it feel seamlessly fresh and integral to the story rather than a plot de…

A book recommendation from Rachel and Matt! The Unknown Best: Book 1 by Matt Wilkening! Get it here! Do you have problems? Good. Michael Malbon doesn’t, and he hates it.
