It’s the end of the world as we know it. Or at least the end of the Stillness. This week Nate and Ryan reach the conclusion of the Broken Earth Trilogy by N.K. Jemisin. In the lead up to their discussion on the book they talk about the start and stop lifestyle of their school and some surprise car expenses for Nate. Then, they turn to discuss some of their favorite post-apocalypses to live (vicariously) in. Finally, they talk about a longing for justice, supporting your children, and the difference between cilia and a cat-bus in their discussion of The Stone Sky by N.K Jemisin.

Goals, clubs, and the undead! This week Nate and Ryan talk about their new year, new goals (and themes) including the difficulty of normal bedtimes. Then, they discuss informal groups and clubs while having Matcha KitKats and yet another Lemon drink. Finally, as they talk about Terry Pratchett’s “Reaper Man” they discuss how the death of civilization is a shopping center, the differences between a man-wolf and a wolf-man, and Death’s abhorrence of drama.

Time and tide wait for no one. And so, another year has passed. As is their tradition, Nate and Ryan look back on everything that has happened in the past year and remember their favorite things about it. Then, turning their eyes from their favorite things of the past year, the two discuss a fantastic book with a slightly more troubled world. Picking up from where The Fifth Season left off, Nate and Ryan discuss carnivorous insects, fraught mother-daughter relationships, and long distance murder in N. K. Jemisin’s The Obelisk Gate.
