I’ve always loved the Realm of the Elderlings, and not a lot of people I’ve met have strong feelings on it enough to discuss each chapter for an hour or so. Being able to get a new perspective on this world from people who have read the full series is so refreshing. I’ve listened to 11 episodes over the last day and a half and plan to catch up in time for Tawny Man!

Finally!

just popped in on this podcast so I could feel like I was discussing my favorite series with other fans, but 2 sentences in and I just had a major story arc revealed to me...ugh, why didn't I heed the spoiler warning?! I had thought maybe the spoilers were for which book they were discussing at the time....

spoilers for all 16 books.
