Death comes to all of us, when he came to Mort he gave him a job. 💀

Mort by Terry Pratchett is the fourth book in the Discworld series and the first introduction of DEATH.

Mort find himself in the unique role as the apprentice grim reaper, learns about the different between reality and what is real, struggles to establish his identity and battles his conscience.

Jen and Ellie discuss perception versus reality, the evolution of Pratchetts writing style, and how a lot of these challenges are a lot easier if you're not a teenage boy.

"Fae warriors: invaluable in a fight—and raging pains in her ass at all other times."

Queen of Shadows is the fourth book in the Throne of Glass series by Sarah J Maas.

Aelin returns to Rifthold to find the city she once called home unrecognisable, clashing with Chaol who has been leading the resistance, and discovering Dorian is trapped by the Valg prince.

Join Jen and Ellie as they discuss the changing world, the how character clashes are crafted to challenge the reader, and how likely they'd be able to fool someone into thinking they can dance...

"Once upon a time,” she said to him, to the world, to herself, “in a land long since burned to ash, there lived a young princess who loved her kingdom . . . very much."

Heir of Fire is the third book in the Throne of Glass series by Sarah J Maas, and we see the world expand as Celaena seeks to bargain with Maeve, Queen of the Fae of Doranelle, and Chaol and Dorian struggle through their new realities in Rifthold where threats lie around every corner.

Join Jen and Ellie as they discuss the craft of expanding a story world, whether they stood a chance against Maeve, and how they feel about the fantasy genres' blatant disregard for the Geneva convention!
