00:02:12   in 2010 so there [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/132">TS</a>]

00:02:28   good lord you need to read this is this [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/148">TS</a>]

00:02:30   is basically what this whole episode is [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/150">TS</a>]

00:02:31   going to be which is you need to read [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/151">TS</a>]

00:02:33   the novels of NK jemisin because every [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/153">TS</a>]

00:02:35   time I read one of her novels aye aye [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/155">TS</a>]

00:02:37   aye sit sit upright and I go oh my god [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/157">TS</a>]

00:02:41   she is really great at writing novels [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/161">TS</a>]

00:02:43   like busy really good and then I like I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/163">TS</a>]

00:02:46   go a while between novels and I'm like [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/166">TS</a>]

00:02:48   oh yeah and king gemini should get to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/168">TS</a>]

00:02:49   that and then I finally get to one of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/169">TS</a>]

00:02:51   her books and I read it and I think why [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/171">TS</a>]

00:02:52   have I not read all of her books because [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/172">TS</a>]

00:02:54   she's so great like every time I am [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/174">TS</a>]

00:02:56   reminded how good a writer she is and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/176">TS</a>]

00:02:58   then quite honestly the next book or two [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/178">TS</a>]

00:03:00   I read after I read one of her books I'm [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/180">TS</a>]

00:03:02   a little disappointed cuz almost without [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/182">TS</a>]

00:03:04   fail that next writer is never as good a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/184">TS</a>]

00:03:07   writer as she is she is she is one of I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/187">TS</a>]

00:03:09   think one of the best in the business [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/189">TS</a>]

00:03:11   right now in writing science fiction [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/191">TS</a>]

00:03:13   fantasy novels you know I feel like I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/193">TS</a>]

00:03:15   completely agree with you but I feel [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/195">TS</a>]

00:03:17   like her writing is is so good and I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/197">TS</a>]

00:03:21   don't want to say dense because dense [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/201">TS</a>]

00:03:23   sounds negative but whatever the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/203">TS</a>]

00:03:24   positive version of dense is is it makes [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/204">TS</a>]

00:03:28   it so that so that reading her books is [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/208">TS</a>]

00:03:30   not it's not like a smooth and easy [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/210">TS</a>]

00:03:35   fluffy sort of a read I'm not saying [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/215">TS</a>]

00:03:38   it's difficult I'm certainly not [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/218">TS</a>]

00:03:39   difficult but it takes a lot more sort [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/219">TS</a>]

00:03:41   of brain power she doesn't read like [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/221">TS</a>]

00:03:42   quick quick read books right she's yeah [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/222">TS</a>]

00:03:45   you have to concentrate to really to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/225">TS</a>]

00:03:47   catch all of the amazing things that she [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/227">TS</a>]

00:03:49   is doing with language and with [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/229">TS</a>]

00:03:50   character with setting world building [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/230">TS</a>]

00:03:52   and all that kind of stuff so i think i [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/232">TS</a>]

00:03:54   have spread her books out quite a bit in [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/234">TS</a>]

00:03:57   part just because i need more time to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/237">TS</a>]

00:04:00   chew on all of that stuff and it feels [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/240">TS</a>]

00:04:03   like it's it's like exercise like when [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/243">TS</a>]

00:04:05   i'm doing it it's like yeah this feels [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/245">TS</a>]

00:04:07   really great and afterwards i'm so happy [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/247">TS</a>]

00:04:09   to have done it but beforehand like I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/249">TS</a>]

00:04:12   never actually you know I'm not terribly [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/252">TS</a>]

00:04:14   looking forward to exercise most of the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/254">TS</a>]

00:04:16   time so so that's sort of I think about [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/256">TS</a>]

00:04:18   her books as you know an even better [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/258">TS</a>]

00:04:22   version of exercise from [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/262">TS</a>]

00:04:24   let's go side I do not feel that way [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/264">TS</a>]

00:04:26   while I'm exercising although she feel [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/266">TS</a>]

00:04:28   the way after I of it okay i will say [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/268">TS</a>]

00:04:31   that but I do as I'm reading that's why [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/271">TS</a>]

00:04:33   NK jemisin is not like exercise for me [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/273">TS</a>]

00:04:36   because I enjoy it as I'm doing it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/276">TS</a>]

00:04:38   although much like Jason I don't like [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/278">TS</a>]

00:04:42   devour her books one by one there's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/282">TS</a>]

00:04:44   actually I think there's one book of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/284">TS</a>]

00:04:46   hers I have not read yet and it's it's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/286">TS</a>]

00:04:49   sitting next to me actually but I just [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/289">TS</a>]

00:04:50   haven't read it I was all going to read [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/290">TS</a>]

00:04:53   it but then the new ian MacDonald book [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/293">TS</a>]

00:04:54   came out so I had to read that first but [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/294">TS</a>]

00:04:57   had to you it has 14 priority some moral [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/297">TS</a>]

00:04:59   imperative he is one of my favorite [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/299">TS</a>]

00:05:02   authors NK jemisin also one of my [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/302">TS</a>]

00:05:05   favorite authors but I think he nudges [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/305">TS</a>]

00:05:07   her out but they both share the thing [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/307">TS</a>]

00:05:09   they share in common is that they write [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/309">TS</a>]

00:05:12   complex layered stories and they they [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/312">TS</a>]

00:05:15   get so much worldbuilding I think out of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/315">TS</a>]

00:05:18   a small amount of writing so you know I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/318">TS</a>]

00:05:23   just Marvel as I'm reading both of them [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/323">TS</a>]

00:05:24   about how much they get with such [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/324">TS</a>]

00:05:27   economy of language and they do it so [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/327">TS</a>]

00:05:30   well and you know Jason you and I were [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/330">TS</a>]

00:05:32   talking about John Scalzi and about how [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/332">TS</a>]

00:05:35   you know he's he's a good writer nothing [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/335">TS</a>]

00:05:37   against John Scalzi he's an entertaining [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/337">TS</a>]

00:05:39   writer he writes books that are quick to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/339">TS</a>]

00:05:41   read they always have fun as I'm reading [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/341">TS</a>]

00:05:43   them but after i am done with him I've [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/343">TS</a>]

00:05:46   never had that moment where I think that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/346">TS</a>]

00:05:48   was a really great book but every time [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/348">TS</a>]

00:05:51   i've read an NK jemisin book I I think [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/351">TS</a>]

00:05:54   that was a really great book I felt that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/354">TS</a>]

00:05:57   way about scalzi after the first in the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/357">TS</a>]

00:05:59   old man's war series i was like this was [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/359">TS</a>]

00:06:01   a really great book but with MK jemison [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/361">TS</a>]

00:06:16   read it and then as soon as the obelisk [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/376">TS</a>]

00:06:19   gate came out we both blew through it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/379">TS</a>]

00:06:21   and in the kind of the interim between [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/381">TS</a>]

00:06:24   but when I read the fifth season when [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/384">TS</a>]

00:06:27   the obelisk 8 came out i read the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/387">TS</a>]

00:06:31   hundred thousand kingdoms like just one [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/391">TS</a>]

00:06:33   after another so I'm like eric has [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/393">TS</a>]

00:06:35   experience of it being kind of like [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/395">TS</a>]

00:06:37   exercise where it's like [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/397">TS</a>]

00:06:38   rewarding kind of as you're doing and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/398">TS</a>]

00:07:08   I do like I'm reading nine fox gambit [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/428">TS</a>]

00:07:11   right now and I'm like five percent [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/431">TS</a>]

00:07:13   through it and it is so hard I have no [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/433">TS</a>]

00:07:16   idea what's going on this universe is so [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/436">TS</a>]

00:07:19   very different from from what I'm used [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/439">TS</a>]

00:07:21   to in so like that work I have to do of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/441">TS</a>]

00:07:24   getting into things and I don't have to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/444">TS</a>]

00:07:27   do with her books as much she's I feel [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/447">TS</a>]

00:07:29   like she's got a gentler ramp up an [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/449">TS</a>]

00:07:32   introduction into these universes than [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/452">TS</a>]

00:07:34   other science fiction and fantasy novels [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/454">TS</a>]

00:07:36   I have but they are dense like there [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/456">TS</a>]

00:07:38   there's a lot to them they're complex [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/458">TS</a>]

00:07:40   but I don't have to work like I do with [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/460">TS</a>]

00:07:42   other science fiction and fantasy books [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/462">TS</a>]

00:07:44   one of the things I reach about NK [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/464">TS</a>]

00:07:46   Jefferson is your you bring up nine fox [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/466">TS</a>]

00:07:50   gambit which I read which I thought was [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/470">TS</a>]

00:07:52   fantastic one thing it does not do is [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/472">TS</a>]

00:07:53   that kind of moment where there's an [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/473">TS</a>]

00:07:55   info dump or as you know Bob that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/475">TS</a>]

00:07:57   explains the rules of the language are [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/477">TS</a>]

00:08:00   of the world I should say so ropes to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/480">TS</a>]

00:08:02   the book you have very you have almost [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/482">TS</a>]

00:08:04   no idea what's going on which I like and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/484">TS</a>]

00:08:07   I really liked that book spoil alert for [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/487">TS</a>]

00:08:08   the nebula nominated podcast that we do [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/488">TS</a>]

00:08:11   but she also in as particularly the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/491">TS</a>]

00:08:14   fifth season and the obligate I feel [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/494">TS</a>]

00:08:16   like she throws us into this world the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/496">TS</a>]

00:08:18   story is happening she doesn't take a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/498">TS</a>]

00:08:21   lot of time to tell us okay there were [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/501">TS</a>]

00:08:23   people who can you know control the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/503">TS</a>]

00:08:25   earth with their their brains and these [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/505">TS</a>]

00:08:28   by the way these obelisks were from a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/508">TS</a>]

00:08:30   past civilization and they do stuff and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/510">TS</a>]

00:08:33   you just kind of have you learned it as [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/513">TS</a>]

00:08:35   it's happening which I like yeah it is I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/515">TS</a>]

00:08:38   think about this a lot when I'm reading [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/518">TS</a>]

00:08:40   science fiction books because obviously [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/520">TS</a>]

00:08:42   if you're not setting it in a world that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/522">TS</a>]

00:08:44   we know you have to establish the world [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/524">TS</a>]

00:08:46   and it is hard to do that in a way that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/526">TS</a>]

00:08:50   doesn't come across as [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/530">TS</a>]

00:08:51   as you know Bob or completely baffling [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/531">TS</a>]

00:08:54   that is a hard line to walk because as a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/534">TS</a>]

00:08:56   writer these are right you know these [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/536">TS</a>]

00:08:58   writers have to very carefully like [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/538">TS</a>]

00:09:01   structure the stories so that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/541">TS</a>]

00:09:03   information is given to you so that you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/543">TS</a>]

00:09:06   can figure it out and if you're too far [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/546">TS</a>]

00:09:08   in one level it says you know Bob and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/548">TS</a>]

00:09:10   you're too far the other direction and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/550">TS</a>]

00:09:11   it's like you know nfm or I mean there [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/551">TS</a>]

00:09:15   are a few other examples that I can [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/555">TS</a>]

00:09:16   think of where a lot of people say oh I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/556">TS</a>]

00:09:18   just didn't even understand what was [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/558">TS</a>]

00:09:19   going on like what a lien said about [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/559">TS</a>]

00:09:21   nine Fox gambit right and and so if you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/561">TS</a>]

00:09:23   can if you can nail that it is a there's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/563">TS</a>]

00:09:25   a really great a bit of work and it's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/565">TS</a>]

00:09:27   not like NK Jameson's work is in the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/567">TS</a>]

00:09:31   regular world right like she sets up [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/571">TS</a>]

00:09:33   these very specific sequences of events [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/573">TS</a>]

00:09:37   and you're like I don't know where this [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/577">TS</a>]

00:09:39   is and what's the setting and is this [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/579">TS</a>]

00:09:40   even earth the answer is it's not and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/580">TS</a>]

00:09:42   how we're probably not and yes and you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/582">TS</a>]

00:09:46   have to or is it who knows but you have [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/586">TS</a>]

00:09:48   to figure figure it out but she does [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/588">TS</a>]

00:09:50   pull you along I know some people get [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/590">TS</a>]

00:09:52   frustrated when you don't give [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/592">TS</a>]

00:09:54   everything to all the information to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/594">TS</a>]

00:09:56   them up front right there like Idol I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/596">TS</a>]

00:09:57   don't understand I see that on TV shows [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/597">TS</a>]

00:09:59   to where people are like but we don't [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/599">TS</a>]

00:10:01   even know why that's the way it is it's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/601">TS</a>]

00:10:03   like yeah that's the point is it's a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/603">TS</a>]

00:10:05   mystery but you know she does it in a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/605">TS</a>]

00:10:08   way that isn't frustrating it's just [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/608">TS</a>]

00:10:09   like you're learning it's very artful I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/609">TS</a>]

00:10:11   i I'm really impressed because these are [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/611">TS</a>]

00:10:13   super weird worlds that she's created [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/613">TS</a>]

00:10:16   the hundred thousand kingdoms at [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/616">TS</a>]

00:10:18   inheritance trilogy a very strange world [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/618">TS</a>]

00:10:21   that she's built but you figure it out [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/621">TS</a>]

00:10:23   as you go and likewise with the the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/623">TS</a>]

00:10:25   fifth season universe it's it's you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/625">TS</a>]

00:10:27   figure it out especially since in the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/627">TS</a>]

00:10:29   fifth season it's a it's sort of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/629">TS</a>]

00:10:31   happening at three different times at [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/631">TS</a>]

00:10:33   once there are three different points of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/633">TS</a>]

00:10:36   view that are going on and so you're [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/636">TS</a>]

00:10:39   learning about the world in like in [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/639">TS</a>]

00:10:40   these different places in different [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/640">TS</a>]

00:10:42   times so you're getting kind of a vaster [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/642">TS</a>]

00:10:44   picture of it than you would if you were [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/644">TS</a>]

00:10:46   learning through the eyes of like just a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/646">TS</a>]

00:10:48   single character living through their [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/648">TS</a>]

00:10:50   life in one in one place alright you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/650">TS</a>]

00:10:52   know one journey so it's but I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/652">TS</a>]

00:10:54   appreciate that we are going to spoil [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/654">TS</a>]

00:10:56   some of these books now so if you're [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/656">TS</a>]

00:10:58   completely a completely spoiler averse [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/658">TS</a>]

00:11:01   and yet listening to this episode I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/661">TS</a>]

00:11:02   would say you might want to go read [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/662">TS</a>]

00:11:04   especially [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/664">TS</a>]

00:11:05   you should read the very least fifth [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/665">TS</a>]

00:11:08   season and then and then come back [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/668">TS</a>]

00:11:10   because I'm about to say something that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/670">TS</a>]

00:11:12   is kind of a spoiler but to Erica's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/672">TS</a>]

00:11:14   point about the time frames one of the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/674">TS</a>]

00:11:16   things I really love about the fifth [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/676">TS</a>]

00:11:18   season is that you're seeing a story [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/678">TS</a>]

00:11:21   told in three different the three [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/681">TS</a>]

00:11:23   different stories and it's unclear I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/683">TS</a>]

00:11:27   mean it's clear that they must be in [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/687">TS</a>]

00:11:28   different time zones because one of the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/688">TS</a>]

00:11:30   time zones is sort of the end of the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/690">TS</a>]

00:11:31   world and the other two don't seem to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/691">TS</a>]

00:11:34   reflect that but it's unclear exactly [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/694">TS</a>]

00:11:36   what you're seeing and then as it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/696">TS</a>]

00:11:39   becomes clearer you start to wonder if [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/699">TS</a>]

00:11:42   the same character is if it's the same [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/702">TS</a>]

00:11:45   character in all three time zones and if [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/705">TS</a>]

00:11:47   that what you're really seeing is this [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/707">TS</a>]

00:11:49   woman's life told out of sequence but I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/709">TS</a>]

00:11:52   feel like you can Intuit that this is [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/712">TS</a>]

00:11:54   one of those artful things you can [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/714">TS</a>]

00:11:56   Intuit that fairly early but you're not [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/716">TS</a>]

00:11:58   giving confirmation of it until quite [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/718">TS</a>]

00:11:59   late and I think that's kind of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/719">TS</a>]

00:12:01   brilliant that you don't know you know [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/721">TS</a>]

00:12:04   whether you think you know what you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/724">TS</a>]

00:12:06   think is true is actually true until you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/726">TS</a>]

00:12:08   get fairly close to the end and when [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/728">TS</a>]

00:12:10   it's revealed that it really is three [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/730">TS</a>]

00:12:12   very different phases of this one [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/732">TS</a>]

00:12:13   woman's life which is it's four [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/733">TS</a>]

00:12:15   different names even which i think is a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/735">TS</a>]

00:12:16   tricky thing I didn't pick up on that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/736">TS</a>]

00:12:19   until um so I listened the last time I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/739">TS</a>]

00:12:23   read um was actually I finished it this [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/743">TS</a>]

00:12:26   morning so uh but I listened to it and I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/746">TS</a>]

00:12:29   was just kind of puttering around the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/749">TS</a>]

00:12:32   house and it came to that that first [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/752">TS</a>]

00:12:34   reveal about um cyan and desmaya being [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/754">TS</a>]

00:12:39   the same person and I remember reading [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/759">TS</a>]

00:12:41   that for the first time on and then you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/761">TS</a>]

00:12:44   know and Justin was kind of standing [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/764">TS</a>]

00:12:46   beside me when that happened and we [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/766">TS</a>]

00:12:48   looked at each other we were like that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/768">TS</a>]

00:12:49   was really a cool moment for us the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/769">TS</a>]

00:12:52   second reveal wasn't as much like by [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/772">TS</a>]

00:12:55   that point I was like oh yeah this is [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/775">TS</a>]

00:12:56   you know this is her even later on but [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/776">TS</a>]

00:12:59   she does such a great job of switching [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/779">TS</a>]

00:13:02   between first-person and third-person [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/782">TS</a>]

00:13:04   and telling these stories and then they [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/784">TS</a>]

00:13:07   converge and they make sense and it's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/787">TS</a>]

00:13:10   just beautiful it's just it's art I just [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/790">TS</a>]

00:13:14   I can't call it anything else I just [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/794">TS</a>]

00:13:15   thought it was so artful and so [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/795">TS</a>]

00:13:17   delightful I have to say it is it is [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/797">TS</a>]

00:13:20   I mentioned this on the nebula episode [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/800">TS</a>]

00:13:21   last year it is gutsy of her to start a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/801">TS</a>]

00:13:23   book with the death of a child with a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/803">TS</a>]

00:13:25   murder of a child because that that is [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/805">TS</a>]

00:13:27   what happens at the beginning of the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/807">TS</a>]

00:13:28   book and that's that's like the author [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/808">TS</a>]

00:13:31   just throwing down like well are you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/811">TS</a>]

00:13:33   going to come with with me or not on [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/813">TS</a>]

00:13:34   this story because it starts out so [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/814">TS</a>]

00:13:36   brutally but it really does inform sort [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/816">TS</a>]

00:13:40   of like the journey of the character and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/820">TS</a>]

00:13:42   sort of retro actively why you know you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/822">TS</a>]

00:13:44   discover things about her later that she [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/824">TS</a>]

00:13:46   did earlier that make you I mean that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/826">TS</a>]

00:13:50   it's almost like a holographic [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/830">TS</a>]

00:13:51   storytelling right because things that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/831">TS</a>]

00:13:53   you're seeing because of the way she's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/833">TS</a>]

00:13:54   chosen the time sequences you are you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/834">TS</a>]

00:13:58   are judging her based on something that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/838">TS</a>]

00:14:00   happened here and then later in the book [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/840">TS</a>]

00:14:02   you realize oh that's because of this [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/842">TS</a>]

00:14:04   thing that happened earlier once you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/844">TS</a>]

00:14:06   realize that all three timelines are are [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/846">TS</a>]

00:14:08   actually her at different phases in her [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/848">TS</a>]

00:14:10   life it so this is a I mean there's a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/850">TS</a>]

00:14:12   recent one the award right it is is [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/852">TS</a>]

00:14:15   pretty a pretty spectacular bit of work [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/855">TS</a>]

00:14:17   I should explain by the way for those [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/857">TS</a>]

00:14:19   who are still with us but don't know [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/859">TS</a>]

00:14:20   what back we're talking about a little [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/860">TS</a>]

00:14:23   bit about this this is a world that is [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/863">TS</a>]

00:14:24   set sort of a a series of apocalypses [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/864">TS</a>]

00:14:27   the idea here is that every now and then [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/867">TS</a>]

00:14:29   the fifth season comes along which is a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/869">TS</a>]

00:14:30   season of destruction and there are it's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/870">TS</a>]

00:14:33   a weird world where they're like gems [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/873">TS</a>]

00:14:35   floating in the sky and there's there's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/875">TS</a>]

00:14:37   old technology that it still exists from [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/877">TS</a>]

00:14:39   previous apocalypses and there's no moon [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/879">TS</a>]

00:14:42   there's no moon which is hinted at a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/882">TS</a>]

00:14:45   couple of points and I kept thinking to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/885">TS</a>]

00:14:46   myself hmm I think this is something [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/886">TS</a>]

00:14:49   about the moon not expecting the last [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/889">TS</a>]

00:14:51   line of the of the first book of the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/891">TS</a>]

00:14:53   fifth season to be the payoff of like [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/893">TS</a>]

00:14:56   that there's the this is all about the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/896">TS</a>]

00:14:58   fact that there's no moon what does that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/898">TS</a>]

00:14:59   mean but but as was mentioned earlier [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/899">TS</a>]

00:15:03   there is this whole earth power thing [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/903">TS</a>]

00:15:06   where its people with lava powers or [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/906">TS</a>]

00:15:08   earthquake powers and they can still [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/908">TS</a>]

00:15:09   earthquakes and they can create [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/909">TS</a>]

00:15:10   earthquakes and the most powerful of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/910">TS</a>]

00:15:12   these origins or rogas depending on [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/912">TS</a>]

00:15:15   whether you're slandering them or not is [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/915">TS</a>]

00:15:17   they can they can cause the world to end [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/917">TS</a>]

00:15:20   basically because that's what happens in [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/920">TS</a>]

00:15:22   the prologue of the fifth season is that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/922">TS</a>]

00:15:24   somebody destroys the world who we then [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/924">TS</a>]

00:15:26   meet later and discover quite what led [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/926">TS</a>]

00:15:29   him to that moment of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/929">TS</a>]

00:15:31   during a large part of the world asunder [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/931">TS</a>]

00:15:33   and it's all III don't mean I've used [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/933">TS</a>]

00:15:37   this with people to explain what this [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/937">TS</a>]

00:15:38   book is like is and I don't mean it to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/938">TS</a>]

00:15:41   be flippin I'm not trying to joke here [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/941">TS</a>]

00:15:43   I'm not trying to run down the book it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/943">TS</a>]

00:15:45   is a very serious carefully constructed [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/945">TS</a>]

00:15:48   book that on another level strikes me as [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/948">TS</a>]

00:15:50   being like one of the best x-men stories [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/950">TS</a>]

00:15:53   ever told because these horrid jeans are [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/953">TS</a>]

00:15:56   like kind of their kind of mutants and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/956">TS</a>]

00:15:58   there and they're treated badly but they [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/958">TS</a>]

00:16:00   have powers and the question is like [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/960">TS</a>]

00:16:02   this there's a social structure that's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/962">TS</a>]

00:16:04   meant to give give them you know the the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/964">TS</a>]

00:16:06   society is supposed to control them [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/966">TS</a>]

00:16:07   completely but do they rise up against [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/967">TS</a>]

00:16:10   it but you know there but they're [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/970">TS</a>]

00:16:11   dangerous and they can hurt people and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/971">TS</a>]

00:16:13   it is that kind of a story but you would [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/973">TS</a>]

00:16:15   never think that just you know on first [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/975">TS</a>]

00:16:18   glance because of the way that the story [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/978">TS</a>]

00:16:19   is told but I did appreciate that that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/979">TS</a>]

00:16:22   you know like every now and then I read [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/982">TS</a>]

00:16:24   a book and I'm like oh this is kind of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/984">TS</a>]

00:16:25   like the x-men in a you know it maybe I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/985">TS</a>]

00:16:28   read a lot of comics but like the rook [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/988">TS</a>]

00:16:30   actually me um the rook feels like the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/990">TS</a>]

00:16:32   x-men 2 it's the same thing where it's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/992">TS</a>]

00:16:34   like these wack the group of people with [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/994">TS</a>]

00:16:36   wacky powers but here it's the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/996">TS</a>]

00:16:37   oppression that gets to me the fact that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/997">TS</a>]

00:16:39   these these incredibly powerful people [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/999">TS</a>]

00:16:40   are treated very badly even though [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1000">TS</a>]

00:16:43   they're so powerful by people who fear [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1003">TS</a>]

00:16:46   them and that that definitely gave me [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1006">TS</a>]

00:16:47   that vibe and it's one of the things I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1007">TS</a>]

00:16:49   love about these books is that the the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1009">TS</a>]

00:16:51   origins are really really badly treated [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1011">TS</a>]

00:16:54   and it's like everybody's afraid of them [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1014">TS</a>]

00:16:57   for good reason but everybody's afraid [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1017">TS</a>]

00:16:59   of them yeah they're brought to like [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1019">TS</a>]

00:17:00   basically voluntary slavery there the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1020">TS</a>]

00:17:04   guardians are sort of their jailers but [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1024">TS</a>]

00:17:07   it's not a typical jail because you know [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1027">TS</a>]

00:17:10   they live in dormitories and they go to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1030">TS</a>]

00:17:11   classes and stuff like that they're just [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1031">TS</a>]

00:17:13   sort of brainwashed into into thinking [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1033">TS</a>]

00:17:16   that they are cursed and terrible people [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1036">TS</a>]

00:17:19   because of these powers that they have [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1039">TS</a>]

00:17:20   and anything bad that happens in the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1040">TS</a>]

00:17:22   world is probably going to be their [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1042">TS</a>]

00:17:24   fault so they need to be watched at all [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1044">TS</a>]

00:17:25   times unless they have lots and lots of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1045">TS</a>]

00:17:27   rings and are very powerful apparently [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1047">TS</a>]

00:17:29   except not really as I learn later or [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1049">TS</a>]

00:17:32   you could you could say imagine sorry [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1052">TS</a>]

00:17:34   for this Scott but imagine if if in [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1054">TS</a>]

00:17:36   harry potter instead of yay I get to go [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1056">TS</a>]

00:17:39   to school and then do a magic job it's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1059">TS</a>]

00:17:40   like you will go to this school and then [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1060">TS</a>]

00:17:42   you will do this job but the muggles [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1062">TS</a>]

00:17:44   we'll be in charge of you all the time [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1064">TS</a>]

00:17:45   it's that same idea you find out that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1065">TS</a>]

00:17:47   you're a very special person but the bad [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1067">TS</a>]

00:17:50   news is you are going to be treated [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1070">TS</a>]

00:17:51   horribly and have no choice in your life [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1071">TS</a>]

00:17:53   because you because you are special and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1073">TS</a>]

00:17:55   that that's the ugly that's not what [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1075">TS</a>]

00:17:57   happens in Harry Potter but it is what [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1077">TS</a>]

00:17:59   happens in the x-men so that's why I'm [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1079">TS</a>]

00:18:01   sticking with my x-men Theory here yeah [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1081">TS</a>]

00:18:03   so the the fifth season tells the story [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1083">TS</a>]

00:18:06   of this one character in the three time [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1086">TS</a>]

00:18:07   frames and we meet a lot of interesting [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1087">TS</a>]

00:18:09   characters along the way especially [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1089">TS</a>]

00:18:10   alabaster who is named satirically by [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1090">TS</a>]

00:18:14   people as alabaster because he is the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1094">TS</a>]

00:18:16   darkest skin that anybody's seen one of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1096">TS</a>]

00:18:18   the things that I think is the case in [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1098">TS</a>]

00:18:20   the in these books is that it's very [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1100">TS</a>]

00:18:23   clear there there are that a lot of the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1103">TS</a>]

00:18:26   people there are a lot of different skin [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1106">TS</a>]

00:18:27   tones in the books and she does make a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1107">TS</a>]

00:18:28   point it's not it doesn't come across as [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1108">TS</a>]

00:18:29   anything other than matter of fact but [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1109">TS</a>]

00:18:32   you do kind of notice and she does a lot [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1112">TS</a>]

00:18:33   of inversions to where I believe in both [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1113">TS</a>]

00:18:35   of her novel series she talks about [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1115">TS</a>]

00:18:37   people with light skin as being like [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1117">TS</a>]

00:18:38   from I think of a hundred thousand [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1118">TS</a>]

00:18:40   kingdoms the light skinned people are [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1120">TS</a>]

00:18:42   from like the equator and and and the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1122">TS</a>]

00:18:44   darker skinned people are at the poles [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1124">TS</a>]

00:18:46   and she just is a lot of playing around [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1126">TS</a>]

00:18:48   with issues of race and things like that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1128">TS</a>]

00:18:50   but alabaster is is the darkest skin [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1130">TS</a>]

00:18:53   that anybody's ever seen and so that of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1133">TS</a>]

00:18:55   course the column alabaster and he's a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1135">TS</a>]

00:18:57   fascinating character who you think is [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1137">TS</a>]

00:18:58   you've never you're never gonna see him [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1138">TS</a>]

00:19:00   again after what happens in the first [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1140">TS</a>]

00:19:01   book but no he's a character in the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1141">TS</a>]

00:19:03   whole second book too mm-hmm quite an [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1143">TS</a>]

00:19:06   important character too I mean he's sort [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1146">TS</a>]

00:19:08   of the part of the found family that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1148">TS</a>]

00:19:10   that she sort of create creates around [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1150">TS</a>]

00:19:13   her or maybe draws to herself right the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1153">TS</a>]

00:19:16   main character whose name at that time [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1156">TS</a>]

00:19:18   is Essen right yes okay I get mixed up [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1158">TS</a>]

00:19:22   because she had three different names in [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1162">TS</a>]

00:19:24   the first book so it's that's the one [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1164">TS</a>]

00:19:26   that sort of carries over into the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1166">TS</a>]

00:19:27   second book the obolus gate is funny [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1167">TS</a>]

00:19:30   because it's um it's a it's what happens [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1170">TS</a>]

00:19:33   after the world ends because alabaster [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1173">TS</a>]

00:19:36   has basically destroyed the main city [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1176">TS</a>]

00:19:37   and and and created this it's going to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1177">TS</a>]

00:19:40   be sort of unlivable conditions in this [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1180">TS</a>]

00:19:42   world for so long that perhaps nobody [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1182">TS</a>]

00:19:44   will survive it and so where do you go [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1184">TS</a>]

00:19:47   from there and the answer is that there [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1187">TS</a>]

00:19:49   there are other other forces at play [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1189">TS</a>]

00:19:52   here there are these you know basically [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1192">TS</a>]

00:19:54   like rock people [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1194">TS</a>]

00:19:57   who who live in donators they have the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1197">TS</a>]

00:20:00   stone eaters who live in the ground and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1200">TS</a>]

00:20:02   and you get the sense that there is this [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1202">TS</a>]

00:20:04   this this battle happening on a much [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1204">TS</a>]

00:20:06   higher level what happened to the moon [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1206">TS</a>]

00:20:08   why are these gems floating in the air [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1208">TS</a>]

00:20:12   and turns out that they are machines [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1212">TS</a>]

00:20:15   that can be kind of like tuned by the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1215">TS</a>]

00:20:17   powers of the origins and we spend a lot [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1217">TS</a>]

00:20:19   of time in obelisk aid inside a like a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1219">TS</a>]

00:20:23   geode where they're in this like [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1223">TS</a>]

00:20:24   underground city where where alabaster [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1224">TS</a>]

00:20:28   is there but he's dying and and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1228">TS</a>]

00:20:31   literally turning to stone right and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1231">TS</a>]

00:20:34   being eaten by a stone eater yeah yeah [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1234">TS</a>]

00:20:37   you not at all creepy or is it creepy or [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1237">TS</a>]

00:20:41   is it sort of beautiful I don't know [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1241">TS</a>]

00:20:43   creepy I'm firmly auntie creepy all [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1243">TS</a>]

00:20:48   right why not both are Mary our main [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1248">TS</a>]

00:20:49   character with her many names um essen [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1249">TS</a>]

00:20:52   in in obligate her her status as a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1252">TS</a>]

00:20:57   mother as really comes to the fore in [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1257">TS</a>]

00:20:59   the second book which is that we saw her [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1259">TS</a>]

00:21:01   her son killed at the beginning of the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1261">TS</a>]

00:21:04   first book and and and what happens is [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1264">TS</a>]

00:21:06   her husband takes her their daughter and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1266">TS</a>]

00:21:09   leaves and so she's she she discovers [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1269">TS</a>]

00:21:12   her son is dead and her daughter is gone [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1272">TS</a>]

00:21:13   and her husband killed the son but kept [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1273">TS</a>]

00:21:16   the daughter and in obligate we finally [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1276">TS</a>]

00:21:19   get to see what happens with her husband [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1279">TS</a>]

00:21:22   and daughter and that's told so instead [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1282">TS</a>]

00:21:25   of having the parallel stories of the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1285">TS</a>]

00:21:26   her three timelines we get the parallel [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1286">TS</a>]

00:21:28   stories of mother and daughter and the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1288">TS</a>]

00:21:30   fact that that like mother like daughter [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1290">TS</a>]

00:21:31   she has a she has a some power that that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1291">TS</a>]

00:21:36   is perhaps potentially quite important [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1296">TS</a>]

00:21:39   to what happens to this to the world and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1299">TS</a>]

00:21:42   whether the whether the world can can [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1302">TS</a>]

00:21:44   survive or not but I like that I like [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1304">TS</a>]

00:21:45   that we finally got I kind of wrote that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1305">TS</a>]

00:21:48   off as something we wouldn't see very [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1308">TS</a>]

00:21:49   much of and instead an obolus gate it's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1309">TS</a>]

00:21:51   like she just put it aside and said [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1311">TS</a>]

00:21:53   we'll get back to the father and the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1313">TS</a>]

00:21:54   daughter I'm gonna get there but but [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1314">TS</a>]

00:21:56   you're gonna have to wait until book too [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1316">TS</a>]

00:21:57   it's kind of like in in the first book [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1317">TS</a>]

00:21:59   you have as you are saying the idea of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1319">TS</a>]

00:22:02   the oppressed origenes and that whole [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1322">TS</a>]

00:22:05   idea sort of on a societal level its [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1325">TS</a>]

00:22:08   writ large and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1328">TS</a>]

00:22:09   then we focus in on that very same thing [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1329">TS</a>]

00:22:12   in a second book because we watch the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1332">TS</a>]

00:22:14   journey with with her daughter NASA and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1334">TS</a>]

00:22:17   the father Geeta I believe is his name [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1337">TS</a>]

00:22:19   and you know he is so very very filled [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1339">TS</a>]

00:22:23   with these prejudices that he's been [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1343">TS</a>]

00:22:25   brought up with that he killed his own [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1345">TS</a>]

00:22:27   son at the beginning of the at the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1347">TS</a>]

00:22:28   beginning of the first book and he you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1348">TS</a>]

00:22:30   know rescues his daughter who was the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1350">TS</a>]

00:22:32   good child because he at first doesn't [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1352">TS</a>]

00:22:34   know that she has powers and then you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1354">TS</a>]

00:22:36   get to watch the evolution of that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1356">TS</a>]

00:22:39   father-daughter relationship which is I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1359">TS</a>]

00:22:41   mean she's such a daddy's girl at the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1361">TS</a>]

00:22:42   beginning of the book and she's hiding [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1362">TS</a>]

00:22:45   her power from him because she loves him [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1365">TS</a>]

00:22:47   so much and then you get to see the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1367">TS</a>]

00:22:48   evolution of that that relationship as [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1368">TS</a>]

00:22:51   she can't hide it anymore and and how he [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1371">TS</a>]

00:22:54   really has some some you know sort of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1374">TS</a>]

00:22:57   friesian going on in his head when he's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1377">TS</a>]

00:22:59   trying to keep these two thoughts in his [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1379">TS</a>]

00:23:01   head that this is the girl he loves so [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1381">TS</a>]

00:23:02   much and yet she's got these terrible [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1382">TS</a>]

00:23:04   powers so she must be evil and and that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1384">TS</a>]

00:23:06   ends up driving a big part of the plot [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1386">TS</a>]

00:23:07   towards the end the book clean after [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1387">TS</a>]

00:23:09   reading the first book how did Avila [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1389">TS</a>]

00:23:12   skate hit you right because obviously [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1392">TS</a>]

00:23:14   fifth season really you loved it and it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1394">TS</a>]

00:23:17   jumped out it I did so what was your [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1397">TS</a>]

00:23:19   reaction to the sequel it's that's a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1399">TS</a>]

00:23:20   hard act to follow right it's a really [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1400">TS</a>]

00:23:23   hard act to follow I liked it quite a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1403">TS</a>]

00:23:26   bit i wish that I'd had more time so [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1406">TS</a>]

00:23:28   that i could have reread it again and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1408">TS</a>]

00:23:30   because what i found is that i remember [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1410">TS</a>]

00:23:32   a lot more I felt like the first book [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1412">TS</a>]

00:23:35   had a lot more memorable moments in it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1415">TS</a>]

00:23:36   then the second book does in the second [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1416">TS</a>]

00:23:39   book it's been oh gosh since it came out [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1419">TS</a>]

00:23:42   so that's what close to six months ago [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1422">TS</a>]

00:23:43   since I've read that and so I I'm [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1423">TS</a>]

00:23:46   finding that like I've got little [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1426">TS</a>]

00:23:47   flashes of things that happen like more [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1427">TS</a>]

00:23:50   with the obelisks more of the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1430">TS</a>]

00:23:52   father-daughter story and I remember the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1432">TS</a>]

00:23:55   end kind of well but other than that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1435">TS</a>]

00:23:58   it's kind of it's kind of a blur so I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1438">TS</a>]

00:24:01   wouldn't say that it falls into I've [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1441">TS</a>]

00:24:03   heard a lot of people you know that the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1443">TS</a>]

00:24:05   stereotypical track trap of a second [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1445">TS</a>]

00:24:07   novel like it so it's just bridging the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1447">TS</a>]

00:24:09   story and I felt like it did that some [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1449">TS</a>]

00:24:11   but I do feel like it's got a lot of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1451">TS</a>]

00:24:13   good solid ground on its own and because [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1453">TS</a>]

00:24:16   there are some second books that I just [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1456">TS</a>]

00:24:18   don't remember at all [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1458">TS</a>]

00:24:20   and so I enjoyed it quite a bit but and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1460">TS</a>]

00:24:24   a lot of that I think is just [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1464">TS</a>]

00:24:25   appreciation for jemison as a writer and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1465">TS</a>]

00:24:28   going back and having those moments [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1468">TS</a>]

00:24:29   where I read a sentence as a writer and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1469">TS</a>]

00:24:31   editor and I'm like wow that was pretty [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1471">TS</a>]

00:24:35   i'm going to read that again and so [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1475">TS</a>]

00:24:37   maybe if she weren't such a lyrical [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1477">TS</a>]

00:24:41   writer i wouldn't it also wouldn't have [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1481">TS</a>]

00:24:44   stuck with me as much as it has but i [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1484">TS</a>]

00:24:45   think i think it's really solid [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1485">TS</a>]

00:24:47   especially you know for for a second [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1487">TS</a>]

00:24:49   book yeah the third book is coming out [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1489">TS</a>]

00:24:51   this summer so people can look for it I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1491">TS</a>]

00:24:54   the one of the one of the things that I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1494">TS</a>]

00:24:57   really like about this these books when [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1497">TS</a>]

00:24:58   I think about it is I think about the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1498">TS</a>]

00:25:02   the I keep mentioning them these gems in [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1502">TS</a>]

00:25:05   the sky these things that are floating [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1505">TS</a>]

00:25:07   in the sky which in the first book [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1507">TS</a>]

00:25:09   initially seems just like colorful world [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1509">TS</a>]

00:25:12   building of like imagery like oh this is [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1512">TS</a>]

00:25:16   a magical place where people can create [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1516">TS</a>]

00:25:18   earthquakes and there were gyms floating [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1518">TS</a>]

00:25:20   in the sky and it turns out that it's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1520">TS</a>]

00:25:22   way more complicated than that and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1522">TS</a>]

00:25:25   there's a gem that's down in the mud and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1525">TS</a>]

00:25:27   they try to lift it up and it ends up [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1527">TS</a>]

00:25:30   you know causing a disaster and all of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1530">TS</a>]

00:25:33   these things that happen and then the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1533">TS</a>]

00:25:35   moon is that great thread right where [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1535">TS</a>]

00:25:37   where I feel like there should be [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1537">TS</a>]

00:25:39   something in the sky but it's not there [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1539">TS</a>]

00:25:41   and and in the end that's the question [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1541">TS</a>]

00:25:43   in the second book you realize that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1543">TS</a>]

00:25:45   where the series is going with its fun [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1545">TS</a>]

00:25:47   with its its climax is it's all about [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1547">TS</a>]

00:25:50   the moon it's about how the moon is [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1550">TS</a>]

00:25:52   apparently correct me if I'm wrong [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1552">TS</a>]

00:25:54   because it has been a little while since [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1554">TS</a>]

00:25:55   I wrote it to the moon it suggested is a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1555">TS</a>]

00:25:58   stabilizing feature of this whether it's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1558">TS</a>]

00:26:01   earth or not it's a stabilizing feature [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1561">TS</a>]

00:26:03   of this planet and since since some [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1563">TS</a>]

00:26:06   magical something happen to knock it out [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1566">TS</a>]

00:26:08   of orbit that's why there have been all [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1568">TS</a>]

00:26:10   these disasters and so now the big plan [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1570">TS</a>]

00:26:13   is that they need to catch the moon they [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1573">TS</a>]

00:26:17   need to beating to the moon's coming [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1577">TS</a>]

00:26:19   back around it's apparently in an orbit [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1579">TS</a>]

00:26:20   that brings it back around every so [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1580">TS</a>]

00:26:22   often and that all of this has been [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1582">TS</a>]

00:26:24   leading to that moment and it's such an [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1584">TS</a>]

00:26:25   just a ridiculous thing that it's just [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1585">TS</a>]

00:26:28   out like I cannot believe she just did [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1588">TS</a>]

00:26:30   that which is we're gonna you know we're [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1590">TS</a>]

00:26:32   going to use all our powers this [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1592">TS</a>]

00:26:34   what we're gonna do we're gonna get that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1594">TS</a>]

00:26:35   we're gonna get that moon back what it's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1595">TS</a>]

00:26:37   and that's how the second book ends so [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1597">TS</a>]

00:26:40   um yeah the moon the moon is coming back [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1600">TS</a>]

00:26:43   I think is what they say at the very end [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1603">TS</a>]

00:26:45   of the Ovilus gate so we have to get it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1605">TS</a>]

00:26:46   that's that's the thing that I love [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1606">TS</a>]

00:26:49   about this book too is that it really [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1609">TS</a>]

00:26:51   did cast so many different shades of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1611">TS</a>]

00:26:54   light on the first book and the things [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1614">TS</a>]

00:26:56   that I already thought that I knew about [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1616">TS</a>]

00:26:58   the first book it widened the world and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1618">TS</a>]

00:27:01   changed change the way I saw things in a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1621">TS</a>]

00:27:03   number of ways it the moon was certainly [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1623">TS</a>]

00:27:05   one of them and the obelisks being such [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1625">TS</a>]

00:27:07   an important important piece of the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1627">TS</a>]

00:27:10   puzzle and also even just some of the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1630">TS</a>]

00:27:12   characters and stuff like you said Jason [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1632">TS</a>]

00:27:14   I wasn't I didn't really think that we [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1634">TS</a>]

00:27:16   were going to find out anything about [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1636">TS</a>]

00:27:17   her daughter and then suddenly we not [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1637">TS</a>]

00:27:19   only find out the the journey of her [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1639">TS</a>]

00:27:21   daughter but that that she may or may [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1641">TS</a>]

00:27:23   not in the third book have a really big [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1643">TS</a>]

00:27:26   role to play in this catching the moon [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1646">TS</a>]

00:27:28   sort of thing and then also we find out [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1648">TS</a>]

00:27:31   in I think it's in the second book we [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1651">TS</a>]

00:27:33   find out that when when cyan i believe [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1653">TS</a>]

00:27:37   is her name at the time when she lifts [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1657">TS</a>]

00:27:39   that first broken obelisk out of the mud [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1659">TS</a>]

00:27:41   she for a brief moment she sees somebody [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1661">TS</a>]

00:27:44   inside of it and we don't find out until [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1664">TS</a>]

00:27:46   the second book that that's somebody [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1666">TS</a>]

00:27:48   that she saw inside of it ends up being [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1668">TS</a>]

00:27:50   this same little boy rock stone shooters [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1670">TS</a>]

00:27:56   don't younger Noah who follows her [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1676">TS</a>]

00:27:58   around all the way through the first [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1678">TS</a>]

00:28:00   book and then into the second book and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1680">TS</a>]

00:28:01   right essen like we didn't even know [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1681">TS</a>]

00:28:03   that that was the same same creature [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1683">TS</a>]

00:28:05   until the second book and I'm like oh my [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1685">TS</a>]

00:28:07   oh my god that's just it's another [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1687">TS</a>]

00:28:10   mind-blowing moment character-wise to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1690">TS</a>]

00:28:12   this is all very carefully plotted right [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1692">TS</a>]

00:28:14   I mean she obviously hadn't written all [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1694">TS</a>]

00:28:15   three books before the first book was [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1695">TS</a>]

00:28:17   released but clearly the story and the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1697">TS</a>]

00:28:19   details were there be a just it is it is [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1699">TS</a>]

00:28:23   completely consistent it doesn't feel [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1703">TS</a>]

00:28:24   like it's one book and the fifth season [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1704">TS</a>]

00:28:26   can be enjoyed on its own without [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1706">TS</a>]

00:28:29   reading the second book it doesn't feel [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1709">TS</a>]

00:28:30   like you were sent you know you bought [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1710">TS</a>]

00:28:32   half a book and a coupon for the rest of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1712">TS</a>]

00:28:34   it but yet it is I really appreciate the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1714">TS</a>]

00:28:38   feeling of planning like she knows what [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1718">TS</a>]

00:28:39   story she's telling and and in obelisk 8 [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1719">TS</a>]

00:28:42   you can see oh okay like a lot of the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1722">TS</a>]

00:28:45   stephanopoulos gate was totally set up [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1725">TS</a>]

00:28:46   in [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1726">TS</a>]

00:28:47   fifth season abs it absolutely was was [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1727">TS</a>]

00:28:50   set there which is which is great I like [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1730">TS</a>]

00:28:52   to see that I gives me confidence to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1732">TS</a>]

00:28:53   know that that the writer of the book [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1733">TS</a>]

00:28:55   I'm reading has the confidence to and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1735">TS</a>]

00:28:57   the planning ability to do all of that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1737">TS</a>]

00:28:59   so that i can I can just read it and not [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1739">TS</a>]

00:29:01   be afraid that they're gonna let me down [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1741">TS</a>]

00:29:02   yeah I'd love to know how she like what [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1742">TS</a>]

00:29:07   her specific process is for this so I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1747">TS</a>]

00:29:09   know you know I've heard like Patrick [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1749">TS</a>]

00:29:11   Rothfuss talk about outlining books and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1751">TS</a>]

00:29:13   that kind of thing so is that something [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1753">TS</a>]

00:29:15   that she did I haven't read a lot about [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1755">TS</a>]

00:29:16   her her process but there are those [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1756">TS</a>]

00:29:19   threads that she's carrying through and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1759">TS</a>]

00:29:21   a lot of them are like small little [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1761">TS</a>]

00:29:23   things that I didn't notice until the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1763">TS</a>]

00:29:25   second read through and I was like oh [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1765">TS</a>]

00:29:27   yeah that you know that happens well I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1767">TS</a>]

00:29:30   guess the third read through that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1770">TS</a>]

00:29:30   happens to connect this thing in the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1770">TS</a>]

00:29:33   second book but it's not profound and I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1773">TS</a>]

00:29:36   can't think of an example off the top of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1776">TS</a>]

00:29:37   my head but it's just it's a beautiful [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1777">TS</a>]

00:29:40   beautifully woven and I wonder how how [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1780">TS</a>]

00:29:43   she's planning that is she carrying it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1783">TS</a>]

00:29:45   in her head did she write an outline or [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1785">TS</a>]

00:29:48   is it just all coming together and she's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1788">TS</a>]

00:29:49   like oh yeah you know she just knows you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1789">TS</a>]

00:29:52   know she dreamed it all and knows all of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1792">TS</a>]

00:29:54   these details i don't know i love the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1794">TS</a>]

00:29:57   idea of her just dreaming at all because [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1797">TS</a>]

00:29:59   and then waking up and Giada get down [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1799">TS</a>]

00:30:01   yeah totally what else should we say [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1801">TS</a>]

00:30:03   about a fifth season and obelisk eight [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1803">TS</a>]

00:30:06   um you know it's not completed but it's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1806">TS</a>]

00:30:08   coming out soon with the next part the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1808">TS</a>]

00:30:10   summer i wasn't i felt that obelisk [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1810">TS</a>]

00:30:13   eight was was a very good follow up to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1813">TS</a>]

00:30:16   fifth season i I didn't you know [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1816">TS</a>]

00:30:19   structurally it could do what the first [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1819">TS</a>]

00:30:20   book did with the three different [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1820">TS</a>]

00:30:21   timelines but it still found a way to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1821">TS</a>]

00:30:23   tell threaded stories in this world and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1823">TS</a>]

00:30:26   also further that mystery that comes [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1826">TS</a>]

00:30:28   from the first book and I I didn't you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1828">TS</a>]

00:30:30   know I was quite happy about it I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1830">TS</a>]

00:30:32   thought good job good job inkay Jamison [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1832">TS</a>]

00:30:35   good job good job well and I mean you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1835">TS</a>]

00:30:38   know this is I think a leading brought [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1838">TS</a>]

00:30:40   this up the second book in a series [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1840">TS</a>]

00:30:42   there's always that's a problem that the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1842">TS</a>]

00:30:46   first book out you know is your first [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1846">TS</a>]

00:30:48   entree into this world and all this [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1848">TS</a>]

00:30:50   stuff is exciting and new when you're [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1850">TS</a>]

00:30:52   surprised by everything a second book [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1852">TS</a>]

00:30:54   has a big job too it's almost impossible [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1854">TS</a>]

00:30:57   for it to surprise you as much as the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1857">TS</a>]

00:30:59   first book does [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1859">TS</a>]

00:31:00   but that being said I think this is a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1860">TS</a>]

00:31:02   really good second part of a trilogy [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1862">TS</a>]

00:31:04   hopefully the third one will wrap it up [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1864">TS</a>]

00:31:08   in be in a satisfying way and and I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1868">TS</a>]

00:31:12   enjoyed I would suggest that no one read [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1872">TS</a>]

00:31:14   the second book without reading the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1874">TS</a>]

00:31:16   first book I don't know why you would do [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1876">TS</a>]

00:31:18   that but people do lots of weird stuff [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1878">TS</a>]

00:31:21   like listen to podcasts about books they [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1881">TS</a>]

00:31:23   haven't read just one it just one [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1883">TS</a>]

00:31:25   example one of the mysteries we didn't [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1885">TS</a>]

00:31:27   talk about which was another part that I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1887">TS</a>]

00:31:29   really liked about the obelisk eight is [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1889">TS</a>]

00:31:32   the character of her guardian from the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1892">TS</a>]

00:31:35   first book who at the end of the first [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1895">TS</a>]

00:31:37   book I just assumed that he was [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1897">TS</a>]

00:31:39   destroyed and nope he wasn't well part [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1899">TS</a>]

00:31:43   of him sort of was because he's not even [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1903">TS</a>]

00:31:45   quite the same character and through his [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1905">TS</a>]

00:31:47   sort of like struggled to regain his own [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1907">TS</a>]

00:31:51   self we learn more about another mystery [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1911">TS</a>]

00:31:55   that is sort of related to the mystery [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1915">TS</a>]

00:31:57   of the moon and the obelisks and there's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1917">TS</a>]

00:32:00   a thing in his head and it yeah there's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1920">TS</a>]

00:32:03   a thing that we don't completely [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1923">TS</a>]

00:32:05   understand yet so I don't really know [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1925">TS</a>]

00:32:07   how to articulate it but it's it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1927">TS</a>]

00:32:09   deepened the mystery and made that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1929">TS</a>]

00:32:12   character who I thought was already sort [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1932">TS</a>]

00:32:15   of multi-layered and multifaceted in the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1935">TS</a>]

00:32:18   first book even deeper and even more [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1938">TS</a>]

00:32:20   interesting and infuriating at the same [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1940">TS</a>]

00:32:22   time because like you know he was doing [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1942">TS</a>]

00:32:25   some bad stuff but then then he does [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1945">TS</a>]

00:32:27   some good stuff and it's just it's it's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1947">TS</a>]

00:32:30   very good I like him Emily way the way [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1950">TS</a>]

00:32:33   that that his story is revived in the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1953">TS</a>]

00:32:36   second book is really interesting [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1956">TS</a>]

00:32:37   because you know yes he is apparently [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1957">TS</a>]

00:32:39   dead in the water literally dead in the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1959">TS</a>]

00:32:42   water in the first book and the second [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1962">TS</a>]

00:32:44   book the second book basically says okay [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1964">TS</a>]

00:32:46   remember that guy who was dead in the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1966">TS</a>]

00:32:48   water well he was dead and in the water [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1968">TS</a>]

00:32:51   and sinking and then something really [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1971">TS</a>]

00:32:54   strange happened and he was dead so he's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1974">TS</a>]

00:32:58   still dead but he's now sort of not [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1978">TS</a>]

00:33:00   because of this thing that happened to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1980">TS</a>]

00:33:02   him and there's this question like who [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1982">TS</a>]

00:33:04   you know what force is motivating him [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1984">TS</a>]

00:33:07   now and why is he different and that's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1987">TS</a>]

00:33:09   unclear because you do get the sense [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1989">TS</a>]

00:33:10   that you have you have competing [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1990">TS</a>]

00:33:12   factions here [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1992">TS</a>]

00:33:13   about like do they want the moon to come [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1993">TS</a>]

00:33:15   back or not do they want the the the the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1995">TS</a>]

00:33:17   people who live on the surface of the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1997">TS</a>]

00:33:19   planet to survive and be stable or is it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/1999">TS</a>]

00:33:22   better if they all die so that the stone [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2002">TS</a>]

00:33:25   people can just live and be happy and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2005">TS</a>]

00:33:27   that's all like not entirely clear at [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2007">TS</a>]

00:33:30   this point but I do like that that that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2010">TS</a>]

00:33:32   the book doesn't say you know oh it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2012">TS</a>]

00:33:35   turned out he didn't die they're like [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2015">TS</a>]

00:33:36   know what you saw he did pay a price and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2016">TS</a>]

00:33:39   and this guy is is kind of him but kind [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2019">TS</a>]

00:33:42   of not and and that was really good I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2022">TS</a>]

00:33:45   felt like I felt like that was her [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2025">TS</a>]

00:33:47   playing fair and not just reviving a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2027">TS</a>]

00:33:49   character and saying you know fooled you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2029">TS</a>]

00:33:51   but instead saying no there was a price [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2031">TS</a>]

00:33:53   to pay you saw what you saw and then [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2033">TS</a>]

00:33:55   this thing happened after that yeah and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2035">TS</a>]

00:33:56   I like they when they're in the the calm [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2036">TS</a>]

00:33:59   the geode thing right they discover this [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2039">TS</a>]

00:34:02   control room and you know it gives you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2042">TS</a>]

00:34:05   because a lot of this is a fantasy I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2045">TS</a>]

00:34:08   would characterize yes but it's it's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2048">TS</a>]

00:34:10   theirs then there are these dashes of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2050">TS</a>]

00:34:12   science fiction where you find a control [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2052">TS</a>]

00:34:14   room and there are pictographs and they [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2054">TS</a>]

00:34:17   have to try and decipher it and their [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2057">TS</a>]

00:34:18   buttons and they control all the stuff [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2058">TS</a>]

00:34:20   and there's what these like metal things [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2060">TS</a>]

00:34:23   that try to kill you or insert [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2063">TS</a>]

00:34:26   themselves into you it's unclear what [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2066">TS</a>]

00:34:28   they do but they're probably not good I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2068">TS</a>]

00:34:30   love the whole idea of this lived in [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2070">TS</a>]

00:34:31   world that the the we didn't have this [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2071">TS</a>]

00:34:33   debate on a previous episode didn't we [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2073">TS</a>]

00:34:35   um i love i love the debate about is it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2075">TS</a>]

00:34:39   science fiction owners of fantasy the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2079">TS</a>]

00:34:40   lived in world thing though the fact [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2080">TS</a>]

00:34:42   that there have been many many dead sibs [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2082">TS</a>]

00:34:43   right these previous civilizations that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2083">TS</a>]

00:34:45   died and their tech is still around and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2085">TS</a>]

00:34:47   that's a really fun bit it throughout [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2087">TS</a>]

00:34:50   and in the obelisk eight you get them [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2090">TS</a>]

00:34:52   yeah they're living in this underground [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2092">TS</a>]

00:34:53   city but it's got like a trapdoor and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2093">TS</a>]

00:34:55   tunnels and stuff that lead to the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2095">TS</a>]

00:34:57   surface so you think it's just this old [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2097">TS</a>]

00:34:58   town like from a western or something [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2098">TS</a>]

00:35:00   it's just a little desert of town but [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2100">TS</a>]

00:35:01   you go down through go through this in [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2101">TS</a>]

00:35:03   this building and then down and suddenly [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2103">TS</a>]

00:35:05   there's this whole city underneath it in [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2105">TS</a>]

00:35:08   this geode and then there's a control [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2108">TS</a>]

00:35:10   room so it's like where's this from what [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2110">TS</a>]

00:35:11   is this old tech people don't really [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2111">TS</a>]

00:35:13   know how it works they just try to keep [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2113">TS</a>]

00:35:15   the air circulating that's all that's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2115">TS</a>]

00:35:17   all pretty great that's why i maintain [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2117">TS</a>]

00:35:19   that this is earth and this is a science [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2119">TS</a>]

00:35:22   fiction book and that it is just so far [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2122">TS</a>]

00:35:23   in the future that the technology that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2123">TS</a>]

00:35:25   they have [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2125">TS</a>]

00:35:26   you know it's Clark's law that that you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2126">TS</a>]

00:35:28   know but its technology so advanced it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2128">TS</a>]

00:35:30   might as well be magic and I mean [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2130">TS</a>]

00:35:32   they're taught that they actually have [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2132">TS</a>]

00:35:34   some hazy records that the I can't [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2134">TS</a>]

00:35:38   remember exactly when the first season [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2138">TS</a>]

00:35:39   was but I know they're talking like time [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2139">TS</a>]

00:35:41   frames of 20,000 30,000 yes and I mean [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2141">TS</a>]

00:35:44   when you think about the entire [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2144">TS</a>]

00:35:46   existence of human history at this point [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2146">TS</a>]

00:35:49   I can't even fathom what 20,000 years in [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2149">TS</a>]

00:35:52   the future might look like so that's why [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2152">TS</a>]

00:35:54   my my headcanon until it has proved [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2154">TS</a>]

00:35:56   otherwise perhaps in another book is [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2156">TS</a>]

00:35:58   that this is earth and it's just far in [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2158">TS</a>]

00:36:00   the future which is what I thought in [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2160">TS</a>]

00:36:01   the first book and now I think it even [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2161">TS</a>]

00:36:03   more after we mu to escape we'll see [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2163">TS</a>]

00:36:05   what the moon looks like when it comes [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2165">TS</a>]

00:36:07   back how about that that'll tell us [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2167">TS</a>]

00:36:09   everything yeah well just say is that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2169">TS</a>]

00:36:11   Armand it is called the broken earth [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2171">TS</a>]

00:36:13   series and it does talk about the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2173">TS</a>]

00:36:16   continents breaking apart and coming [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2176">TS</a>]

00:36:18   together and you know like like these [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2178">TS</a>]

00:36:20   series of continents continental drifts [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2180">TS</a>]

00:36:23   and then coming together again in a way [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2183">TS</a>]

00:36:26   that kind of makes me think it's it's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2186">TS</a>]

00:36:29   earth maybe I mean earth earth the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2189">TS</a>]

00:36:31   planet and earth like the idea of land [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2191">TS</a>]

00:36:33   and ground is not necessarily not [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2193">TS</a>]

00:36:35   necessarily the same Erika the reason [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2195">TS</a>]

00:36:37   that I think that though I think of it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2197">TS</a>]

00:36:39   as fantasy and not science fiction is [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2199">TS</a>]

00:36:41   mostly because I don't see a lot of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2201">TS</a>]

00:36:43   scientific backing for people who can [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2203">TS</a>]

00:36:46   cause earthquakes with their minds and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2206">TS</a>]

00:36:48   you know that that that seems to be [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2208">TS</a>]

00:36:50   magic you're right i mean maybe they [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2210">TS</a>]

00:36:53   were genetically engineered and maybe [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2213">TS</a>]

00:36:54   but i'm not sure you can genetically [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2214">TS</a>]

00:36:56   engineer somebody to be telekinetic like [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2216">TS</a>]

00:36:59   that that seems like still seems like [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2219">TS</a>]

00:37:01   fantasy to me with science rapping maybe [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2221">TS</a>]

00:37:04   they did it in the x-men I'm sure at [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2224">TS</a>]

00:37:06   some point people thought that it was [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2226">TS</a>]

00:37:08   impossible for another human being to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2228">TS</a>]

00:37:10   make fire so all right okay technology [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2230">TS</a>]

00:37:13   yeah well they're its mutants Scott it's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2233">TS</a>]

00:37:16   the x-men their meals right the mutants [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2236">TS</a>]

00:37:19   right you can't argue with atomic [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2239">TS</a>]

00:37:20   science atomic energy creates mutants [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2240">TS</a>]

00:37:23   and mutants have powers and I think I've [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2243">TS</a>]

00:37:25   just proven Oh Erica's point that they [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2245">TS</a>]

00:37:27   made their dispensers well in denying in [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2247">TS</a>]

00:37:30   the obelisk gate there isn't it's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2250">TS</a>]

00:37:32   revealed that she has you'd like these [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2252">TS</a>]

00:37:34   organ origins [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2254">TS</a>]

00:37:37   there you go they can do even more than [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2257">TS</a>]

00:37:39   control the the earth right they can [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2259">TS</a>]

00:37:41   there's like energy between cells or [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2261">TS</a>]

00:37:44   something so they could do other crazy [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2264">TS</a>]

00:37:45   things and the stone and the stone [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2265">TS</a>]

00:37:48   eaters but you know were actually [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2268">TS</a>]

00:37:50   adapted genetically altered altered [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2270">TS</a>]

00:37:53   molecular Lee somehow from people they [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2273">TS</a>]

00:37:56   were originally humans that went too far [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2276">TS</a>]

00:37:58   but but I will sort of concede the the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2278">TS</a>]

00:38:01   fantasy point on on one level Jason and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2281">TS</a>]

00:38:03   that is the whole sort of father earth [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2283">TS</a>]

00:38:06   thing and the idea of the planet itself [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2286">TS</a>]

00:38:09   having I don't know a personality in [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2289">TS</a>]

00:38:11   mind a life something which again not [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2291">TS</a>]

00:38:13   quite clear yet that does sort of strike [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2293">TS</a>]

00:38:16   me as as fantasy and I'm not sure I can [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2296">TS</a>]

00:38:18   see any science fictiony way to redeem [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2298">TS</a>]

00:38:20   that part of it so yeah I guess I'm [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2300">TS</a>]

00:38:22   still reserving a little judgment I'm [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2302">TS</a>]

00:38:24   pretty sure there's just a computer at [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2304">TS</a>]

00:38:25   the core of the earth Erica blown this [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2305">TS</a>]

00:38:29   is a Star Trek episode but we we have [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2309">TS</a>]

00:39:18   season a novel escape before we do that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2358">TS</a>]

00:39:20   I just want to say how much i love [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2360">TS</a>]

00:39:21   syenite just stop I love cyan I I love [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2361">TS</a>]

00:39:25   she's she is a tough woman who's been [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2365">TS</a>]

00:39:29   put in a tough situation and she is [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2369">TS</a>]

00:39:33   determined to make it work as best for [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2373">TS</a>]

00:39:35   her as she can and um I don't know I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2375">TS</a>]

00:39:39   think part of that is how I was raised [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2379">TS</a>]

00:39:41   as kind of a working-class person and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2381">TS</a>]

00:39:43   you know you you ascend to the best you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2383">TS</a>]

00:39:46   can while maintaining social [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2386">TS</a>]

00:39:48   harmony and not rocking the boat too [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2388">TS</a>]

00:39:51   much and I think the reason I like [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2391">TS</a>]

00:39:54   syenite so much is because I see so much [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2394">TS</a>]

00:39:56   of myself in her she's maybe a little [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2396">TS</a>]

00:39:58   bit more abrupt and blunt than I tends [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2398">TS</a>]

00:40:03   to be but I just um that that period in [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2403">TS</a>]

00:40:08   her life I don't know there was [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2408">TS</a>]

00:40:10   something about it that I just thought [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2410">TS</a>]

00:40:12   was amazing and I felt like in some ways [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2412">TS</a>]

00:40:16   it was her being as true to herself as [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2416">TS</a>]

00:40:19   she could be because when she was young [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2419">TS</a>]

00:40:21   she was doing what she needed to do to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2421">TS</a>]

00:40:23   survive and when she was older she was [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2423">TS</a>]

00:40:26   doing what she needed to do to blend in [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2426">TS</a>]

00:40:28   but a lot of what we get with syenite is [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2428">TS</a>]

00:40:30   her just just doing what she needs to do [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2430">TS</a>]

00:40:34   and I so greatly appreciated that and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2434">TS</a>]

00:40:36   appreciated how it was I don't know [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2436">TS</a>]

00:40:39   uncomplicated I guess in some ways while [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2439">TS</a>]

00:40:42   all this complication was happening [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2442">TS</a>]

00:40:44   around her yeah it's it's the first book [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2444">TS</a>]

00:40:47   really makes you wonder I mean talk [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2447">TS</a>]

00:40:50   about putting a spotlight on a on a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2450">TS</a>]

00:40:52   person and their character is if you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2452">TS</a>]

00:40:56   show them in those three phases of their [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2456">TS</a>]

00:40:58   lives and you know by viewing what [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2458">TS</a>]

00:41:02   happened to them in these three key [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2462">TS</a>]

00:41:04   phases you really do gain great and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2464">TS</a>]

00:41:06   great ER understanding about that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2466">TS</a>]

00:41:08   character and that this is a fully [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2468">TS</a>]

00:41:09   realized character we we learned what [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2469">TS</a>]

00:41:12   happened when she was a child we learned [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2472">TS</a>]

00:41:14   what happened when she was a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2474">TS</a>]

00:41:15   professional and then we learned what [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2475">TS</a>]

00:41:17   happened when she tried to build a life [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2477">TS</a>]

00:41:18   after being a professional and having [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2478">TS</a>]

00:41:22   that kind of fall apart and it turns out [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2482">TS</a>]

00:41:25   have her whole family kind of died and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2485">TS</a>]

00:41:28   and be and having her history wiped out [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2488">TS</a>]

00:41:31   and and so it's yeah it's a it's it's a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2491">TS</a>]

00:41:34   character you don't get to know [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2494">TS</a>]

00:41:36   characters that well in books very often [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2496">TS</a>]

00:41:38   and see that many aspects of them as you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2498">TS</a>]

00:41:40   do with her the hundred thousand [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2500">TS</a>]

00:41:42   kingdoms which i guess is called the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2502">TS</a>]

00:41:44   inheritance trilogy is where she first [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2504">TS</a>]

00:41:46   kind of made her name which i still [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2506">TS</a>]

00:41:48   haven't read yet so I I really loved the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2508">TS</a>]

00:41:51   hundred thousand kingdoms and the funny [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2511">TS</a>]

00:41:54   thing is I never read the other two [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2514">TS</a>]

00:42:11   hundred thousand kingdoms so that's her [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2531">TS</a>]

00:42:13   debut a fan I'm fantasy in a much [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2533">TS</a>]

00:42:17   clearer way this is this is a world [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2537">TS</a>]

00:42:19   where they're the gut there are gods and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2539">TS</a>]

00:42:21   there are there are God llings which are [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2541">TS</a>]

00:42:23   basically like demigods and there are [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2543">TS</a>]

00:42:26   people and there is this very [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2546">TS</a>]

00:42:29   complicated scenario where there's an [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2549">TS</a>]

00:42:30   incredibly rich family called the era [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2550">TS</a>]

00:42:33   Mary I think whoo-hoo basically have one [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2553">TS</a>]

00:42:38   of the gods of the planet chained up and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2558">TS</a>]

00:42:41   they're like the gods or their slave is [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2561">TS</a>]

00:42:44   kind of and they're essentially there is [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2564">TS</a>]

00:42:47   a revolt and things change over the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2567">TS</a>]

00:42:50   course of the book kind of dramatically [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2570">TS</a>]

00:42:52   for the epistemological foundations of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2572">TS</a>]

00:42:55   this society is one way to put it when [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2575">TS</a>]

00:42:58   when you get God's kind of coming and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2578">TS</a>]

00:42:59   going it's kind of a big deal but I love [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2579">TS</a>]

00:43:02   this book when I first read it and one [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2582">TS</a>]

00:43:04   of the things I loved about it if you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2584">TS</a>]

00:43:05   can Rack your brains those of you who [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2585">TS</a>]

00:43:07   have read this back to back to the last [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2587">TS</a>]

00:43:09   time you read it one of the things I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2589">TS</a>]

00:43:11   loved about it is just the I'm a sucker [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2591">TS</a>]

00:43:14   for the idea that there's an incredible [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2594">TS</a>]

00:43:16   power that is controlled but could be on [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2596">TS</a>]

00:43:19   the verge of breaking free and killing [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2599">TS</a>]

00:43:22   you at any time the magician's books [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2602">TS</a>]

00:43:25   have some of this to where they talk [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2605">TS</a>]

00:43:26   about God's there's something I love [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2606">TS</a>]

00:43:28   that about fantasy gods this idea that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2608">TS</a>]

00:43:30   like we have magic and we have people [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2610">TS</a>]

00:43:32   and people are cool but their gods and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2612">TS</a>]

00:43:35   if they smite you you you are smoked [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2615">TS</a>]

00:43:38   that's the end for you and that's the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2618">TS</a>]

00:43:40   world of a hundred thousand kingdoms is [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2620">TS</a>]

00:43:43   that they've chained up a god who's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2623">TS</a>]

00:43:44   incredibly powerful and if you make one [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2624">TS</a>]

00:43:46   wrong step he will destroy you and I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2626">TS</a>]

00:43:49   love that about about that new this [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2629">TS</a>]

00:43:51   Prince of Darkness this this did the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2631">TS</a>]

00:43:54   nighttime God who's who's kind of the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2634">TS</a>]

00:43:56   devil you could you could and then you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2636">TS</a>]

00:43:59   feel kind of sorry for him because he's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2639">TS</a>]

00:44:01   been he's been enslaved by these awful [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2641">TS</a>]

00:44:03   humans for a long time it's a it's a lot [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2643">TS</a>]

00:44:06   of world building in these books too yes [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2646">TS</a>]

00:44:08   yeah I'm a I'm a sucker for mythology [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2648">TS</a>]

00:44:11   growing up I loved Greek mythology in [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2651">TS</a>]

00:44:13   Roman mythology and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2653">TS</a>]

00:44:15   I checked to the same books out of the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2655">TS</a>]

00:44:17   library over and over and over again [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2657">TS</a>]

00:44:19   same Greek myths and this kind of filled [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2659">TS</a>]

00:44:22   that for me and this and this idea too [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2662">TS</a>]

00:44:26   that that this family really has taken [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2666">TS</a>]

00:44:30   the gods and enslaved them all of them [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2670">TS</a>]

00:44:33   except for maybe one I think if I'm [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2673">TS</a>]

00:44:36   remembering correctly like that was [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2676">TS</a>]

00:44:39   fascinating to me it was very very [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2679">TS</a>]

00:44:41   interesting and I thought it was really [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2681">TS</a>]

00:44:44   well executed it's a it's a fascinating [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2684">TS</a>]

00:44:47   book it turns out having so I didn't [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2687">TS</a>]

00:44:48   read the other two books in the series [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2688">TS</a>]

00:44:50   until last month and I read them both so [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2690">TS</a>]

00:44:54   in preparation for this podcast and it's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2694">TS</a>]

00:44:56   funny looking back on it now that what [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2696">TS</a>]

00:44:59   seemed like this kind of mind-blowing [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2699">TS</a>]

00:45:00   story about like the rise and fall of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2700">TS</a>]

00:45:03   God's is in the context of the other two [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2703">TS</a>]

00:45:06   books merely the prelude for what is to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2706">TS</a>]

00:45:09   come which is pretty amazing that you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2709">TS</a>]

00:45:12   think that because it turns out that of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2712">TS</a>]

00:45:13   course the rise and fall of gods and the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2713">TS</a>]

00:45:16   creation of new gods that happens in a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2716">TS</a>]

00:45:18   hundred thousand kingdoms leads to a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2718">TS</a>]

00:45:20   room attic power shift and so you know [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2720">TS</a>]

00:45:24   several years after I read the first [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2724">TS</a>]

00:45:26   book I picked up the second book and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2726">TS</a>]

00:45:27   couldn't remember a whole lot about the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2727">TS</a>]

00:45:29   first book as I started reading it and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2729">TS</a>]

00:45:31   it's at ten years after the hundred [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2731">TS</a>]

00:45:33   thousand kingdoms and you get to see a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2733">TS</a>]

00:45:35   little hint of what's been going on with [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2735">TS</a>]

00:45:38   these with these gods since there's been [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2738">TS</a>]

00:45:40   they've achieved their freedom and and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2740">TS</a>]

00:45:43   the light God has has had to be [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2743">TS</a>]

00:45:46   sentenced to some punishment for being [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2746">TS</a>]

00:45:49   complicit in the sleigh enslavement of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2749">TS</a>]

00:45:51   the other gods and it's a very different [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2751">TS</a>]

00:45:53   book the the broken kingdoms very [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2753">TS</a>]

00:45:57   different book but a really good book in [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2757">TS</a>]

00:46:00   fact I think my favorite of the three is [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2760">TS</a>]

00:46:02   that second book and they does stand [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2762">TS</a>]

00:46:06   alone I feel like more than the the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2766">TS</a>]

00:46:08   fifth season series does in the sense [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2768">TS</a>]

00:46:11   that the second book the third book [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2771">TS</a>]

00:46:13   doesn't stand alone but the second book [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2773">TS</a>]

00:46:14   it's got a completely different [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2774">TS</a>]

00:46:16   protagonist and although the characters [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2776">TS</a>]

00:46:18   from the first book do appear in it it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2778">TS</a>]

00:46:20   really is about the journey of the of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2780">TS</a>]

00:46:21   the protagonist of the of the second [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2781">TS</a>]

00:46:23   book who is a blind artist who can only [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2783">TS</a>]

00:46:25   see in a very clever [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2785">TS</a>]

00:46:28   set up she can only see Magic so she's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2788">TS</a>]

00:46:32   blind but if somebody's magical she can [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2792">TS</a>]

00:46:34   see them and she can see the magic they [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2794">TS</a>]

00:46:36   do and at some point she's taken up into [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2796">TS</a>]

00:46:38   the the city in the inside the World [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2798">TS</a>]

00:46:41   Tree that the the rich family lives in [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2801">TS</a>]

00:46:43   which is this enormous tree that it's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2803">TS</a>]

00:46:46   like it sounds and suddenly she can see [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2806">TS</a>]

00:46:48   everything because everything is Magic [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2808">TS</a>]

00:46:50   up there and that's pretty cool too so [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2810">TS</a>]

00:46:52   it's a it's it's a I really love the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2812">TS</a>]

00:46:55   second book a lot I don't know alene [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2815">TS</a>]

00:46:57   what you thought about the about the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2817">TS</a>]

00:46:58   other books in the series I did not like [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2818">TS</a>]

00:47:01   the third one as much and i agree with [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2821">TS</a>]

00:47:03   you i thought the second book was was [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2823">TS</a>]

00:47:06   considerably better than the first one [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2826">TS</a>]

00:47:07   and considering how quickly i blew [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2827">TS</a>]

00:47:11   through the first one I feel like that's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2831">TS</a>]

00:47:12   quite a testament and because I really [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2832">TS</a>]

00:47:15   really did love the hundred thousand [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2835">TS</a>]

00:47:18   kingdoms I loved the promise of it I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2838">TS</a>]

00:47:20   love to the execution and the ending [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2840">TS</a>]

00:47:24   surprised me I mean you don't see many [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2844">TS</a>]

00:47:27   people ascend to godhood in Boca so so [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2847">TS</a>]

00:47:31   it was I just I just thought it was it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2851">TS</a>]

00:47:33   was delightful in the second book like [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2853">TS</a>]

00:47:36   you said I think because it had that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2856">TS</a>]

00:47:38   humanizing element and to it in the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2858">TS</a>]

00:47:41   humanist humanization of the gods right [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2861">TS</a>]

00:47:43   because in the first book we have we [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2863">TS</a>]

00:47:47   have the gods of slaves but they're [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2867">TS</a>]

00:47:49   still God's right there still um feared [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2869">TS</a>]

00:47:53   and revered kind of in a way right and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2873">TS</a>]

00:47:55   their tent their tens of thousands of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2875">TS</a>]

00:47:56   years old and they're still powerful and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2876">TS</a>]

00:47:58   they're still capricious and they still [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2878">TS</a>]

00:47:59   look down on humans right there their [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2879">TS</a>]

00:48:01   gods but they're just kind of in Chains [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2881">TS</a>]

00:48:02   yeah yeah and in book 2 and the gods the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2882">TS</a>]

00:48:08   full God's didn't take part as much and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2888">TS</a>]

00:48:10   it was more humanity in the demigods and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2890">TS</a>]

00:48:13   i liked it i thought i thought it was I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2893">TS</a>]

00:48:17   thought it was great I thought again the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2897">TS</a>]

00:48:19   world building is so rich and wonderful [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2899">TS</a>]

00:48:22   and I I agree yeah I love the second [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2902">TS</a>]

00:48:26   book I love the first book i liked the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2906">TS</a>]

00:48:28   third book but i didn't love it to the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2908">TS</a>]

00:48:30   level that i do the other to the second [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2910">TS</a>]

00:48:32   books even kind of like a murder mystery [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2912">TS</a>]

00:48:33   it's basically like a demigod is dead [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2913">TS</a>]

00:48:35   and how could [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2915">TS</a>]

00:48:37   have been happened and who killed them [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2917">TS</a>]

00:48:39   and why and I I was tickled by that too [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2919">TS</a>]

00:48:43   it's like well this is a very different [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2923">TS</a>]

00:48:45   approach to a second book in a trilogy [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2925">TS</a>]

00:48:46   and it ends up yes it ends up linking to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2926">TS</a>]

00:48:50   everything that happened in the first [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2930">TS</a>]

00:48:51   book it's not just happening in the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2931">TS</a>]

00:48:54   background there are things connected to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2934">TS</a>]

00:48:56   it but you know and you should probably [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2936">TS</a>]

00:48:58   read the first book before you read the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2938">TS</a>]

00:49:00   second book but the second book just [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2940">TS</a>]

00:49:01   stand it stands on its own as well it is [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2941">TS</a>]

00:49:03   yeah it is a in a new character lead [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2943">TS</a>]

00:49:06   character and her friend shiny who is a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2946">TS</a>]

00:49:09   character of mystery whose identity is [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2949">TS</a>]

00:49:13   revealed later on in the book and that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2953">TS</a>]

00:49:15   that's really a fun thing to this this [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2955">TS</a>]

00:49:19   the secret of her magical power to see [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2959">TS</a>]

00:49:22   magic and to draw these draw these [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2962">TS</a>]

00:49:25   pictures that sort of come to life which [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2965">TS</a>]

00:49:28   is a pretty cool stuff there's a lot of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2968">TS</a>]

00:49:30   good stuff there's Scott you have any [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2970">TS</a>]

00:49:31   recollection of these books at all I've [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2971">TS</a>]

00:49:34   been recognized I to read all three I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2974">TS</a>]

00:49:37   remember that mostly because I just [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2977">TS</a>]

00:49:40   checked good reads to me ever that in [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2980">TS</a>]

00:49:41   fact i had read them all because i [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2981">TS</a>]

00:49:43   remember the first two i have absolutely [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2983">TS</a>]

00:49:46   no memory of what happens in the third [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2986">TS</a>]

00:49:48   one the third book is about about CA who [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2988">TS</a>]

00:49:50   is the trickster god and he basically be [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2990">TS</a>]

00:49:52   friends these two children and they make [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2992">TS</a>]

00:49:53   a blood oath and the blood oath turns [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2993">TS</a>]

00:49:55   him into a mortal and he starts to age [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2995">TS</a>]

00:49:58   and he's this he's this Cupid like [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/2998">TS</a>]

00:50:00   figure i always thought like he's a he's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/3000">TS</a>]

00:50:03   a he's a trickster god like low-key but [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/3003">TS</a>]

00:50:05   he's also always seen as a child and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/3005">TS</a>]

00:50:07   he's the god of children and suddenly [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/3007">TS</a>]

00:50:09   he's like going into adolescence and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/3009">TS</a>]

00:50:11   he's an adult and he gets older and he's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/3011">TS</a>]

00:50:14   because he's going to die and the gods [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/3014">TS</a>]

00:50:16   don't know what to do about it and it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/3016">TS</a>]

00:50:20   turns out that there's a whole plot of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/3020">TS</a>]

00:50:21   like somebody else wants to become a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/3021">TS</a>]

00:50:23   full god instead of a demigod and the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/3023">TS</a>]

00:50:25   universe is put at risk it's sort of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/3025">TS</a>]

00:50:27   like the end of a doctor who season [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/3027">TS</a>]

00:50:28   where suddenly all reality is at risk is [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/3028">TS</a>]

00:50:31   how can we how can we increase the the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/3031">TS</a>]

00:50:33   stakes to the highest possible point [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/3033">TS</a>]

00:50:35   which is the entire universe will be [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/3035">TS</a>]

00:50:36   destroyed if they can't solve this [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/3036">TS</a>]

00:50:38   problem and it was you know it was fine [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/3038">TS</a>]

00:50:41   but um CA is not one of my favorite [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/3041">TS</a>]

00:50:44   characters anyway and i think it was [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/3044">TS</a>]

00:50:46   trying it was a high degree of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/3046">TS</a>]

00:50:47   difficulty to get you to care about him [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/3047">TS</a>]

00:50:49   and there's some good characters in that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/3049">TS</a>]

00:50:51   book it's not bad but it's not as good [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/3051">TS</a>]

00:50:53   as the first do I think yeah yeah I'm [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/3053">TS</a>]

00:50:55   pretty remember enjoying the second I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/3055">TS</a>]

00:50:56   mean I enjoyed the first and the second [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/3056">TS</a>]

00:50:58   for the second one sticks out in my mind [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/3058">TS</a>]

00:50:59   well reminded me a little bit of like [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/3059">TS</a>]

00:51:01   maybe some of those max Gladstone books [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/3061">TS</a>]

00:51:03   where it's like it's magic but it's also [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/3063">TS</a>]

00:51:06   kind of genre like a different kind of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/3066">TS</a>]

00:51:08   genre like it really is like a murder [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/3068">TS</a>]

00:51:10   mystery there's no detective well there [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/3070">TS</a>]

00:51:13   is kind of police people but it's like [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/3073">TS</a>]

00:51:14   who killed the demigod is a fun [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/3074">TS</a>]

00:51:16   storyline to follow even though it does [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/3076">TS</a>]

00:51:19   become way bigger than that because in [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/3079">TS</a>]

00:51:20   the case of all good detective stories [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/3080">TS</a>]

00:51:22   it turns out it's not just about the one [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/3082">TS</a>]

00:51:24   person who died there's a whole [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/3084">TS</a>]

00:51:26   conspiracy around it and that's good too [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/3086">TS</a>]

00:51:28   so yeah yes that's a good book I liked [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/3088">TS</a>]

00:51:32   the lawn broken kingdoms so yeah those [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/3092">TS</a>]

00:51:35   are worth reading too she has other [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/3095">TS</a>]

00:51:37   books though I have not read ah as I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/3097">TS</a>]

00:51:40   have read the killing moon but I have [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/3100">TS</a>]

00:51:42   not read the second book in that series [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/3102">TS</a>]

00:51:45   okay and there are only two at least at [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/3105">TS</a>]

00:51:47   this right I think I saw somewhere on [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/3107">TS</a>]

00:51:49   maybe in the kindle store it referred to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/3109">TS</a>]

00:51:52   it as the dream blood duology which [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/3112">TS</a>]

00:51:54   means there was only two books people [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/3114">TS</a>]

00:51:55   just buy the two books but I haven't I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/3115">TS</a>]

00:51:57   haven't read it and I think they just [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/3117">TS</a>]

00:51:59   came out with a one-volume with both [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/3119">TS</a>]

00:52:01   books in it right you can buy that I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/3121">TS</a>]

00:52:04   enjoyed the first one it's about these [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/3124">TS</a>]

00:52:07   people who harvest dream energy and do [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/3127">TS</a>]

00:52:10   all kinds of things with it I was [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/3130">TS</a>]

00:52:13   enjoyable it's cool and allene have you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/3133">TS</a>]

00:52:15   read those I don't I've tried reading uh [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/3135">TS</a>]

00:52:19   I've tried reading it but it's got that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/3139">TS</a>]

00:52:23   higher barrier to entry um like nine fox [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/3143">TS</a>]

00:52:27   gambit and so I actually picked it up on [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/3147">TS</a>]

00:52:29   audible so I'm gonna try listening to it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/3149">TS</a>]

00:52:32   and seeing how I do with it I will get [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/3152">TS</a>]

00:52:36   those i think i have the killing moon [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/3156">TS</a>]

00:52:37   and haven't read it so i will probably [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/3157">TS</a>]

00:52:39   do that at some point but i just read to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/3159">TS</a>]

00:52:41   four books in short succession so i'm [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/3161">TS</a>]

00:52:42   going to take a little break which goes [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/3162">TS</a>]

00:52:44   back to one of our initial points we [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/3164">TS</a>]

00:52:45   just I feel like her books are so rich [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/3165">TS</a>]

00:52:47   and and thought-provoking and they're [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/3167">TS</a>]

00:52:49   well written and and they aren't quick [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/3169">TS</a>]

00:52:51   reads which doesn't mean that they're [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/3171">TS</a>]

01:00:07   is is one like that and it's not [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/3607">TS</a>]

01:00:09   difficult in a bad way it is just it is [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/3609">TS</a>]

01:00:11   a book that has sort of dark fantasy [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/3611">TS</a>]

01:00:14   elements but it is a lot about bullying [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/3614">TS</a>]

01:00:18   and follows the the life of this young [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/3618">TS</a>]

01:00:20   boy who is growing up in England and the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/3620">TS</a>]

01:00:23   struggles that he goes through and if [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/3623">TS</a>]

01:00:25   you had any kind of a rough childhood in [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/3625">TS</a>]

01:00:27   school it can like it hits really close [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/3627">TS</a>]

01:00:30   to home um in a lot of ways so it's it's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/3630">TS</a>]

01:00:33   very good and I'm only about halfway [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/3633">TS</a>]

01:00:35   through and haven't haven't gotten to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/3635">TS</a>]

01:00:38   you know to see everything that happens [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/3638">TS</a>]

01:00:40   so far but it is one that I have to take [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/3640">TS</a>]

01:00:42   in sort of small bites in order to get [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/3642">TS</a>]

01:00:45   through it because otherwise it's just [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/3645">TS</a>]

01:00:46   going to be a little bit too heavy for [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/3646">TS</a>]

01:00:48   me and also as usual I am trying to keep [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/3648">TS</a>]

01:00:52   up on uncanny magazine because I do [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/3652">TS</a>]

01:00:54   their podcast over there and for their [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/3654">TS</a>]

01:00:56   last for the last episode of the podcast [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/3656">TS</a>]

01:00:59   or one of the recent ones I got to read [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/3659">TS</a>]

01:01:01   a story by Maya Verity co-host tansy [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/3661">TS</a>]

01:01:03   rayner Roberts and it is called some [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/3663">TS</a>]

01:01:05   Cupid's kill with arrows and it is a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/3665">TS</a>]

01:01:09   very light-hearted short little story [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/3669">TS</a>]

01:01:13   about what if Greek gods were actually [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/3673">TS</a>]

01:01:16   real and you ended up speed dating a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/3676">TS</a>]

01:01:20   bunch of them and then it kind of goes [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/3680">TS</a>]

01:01:22   on from there and it's it's just kind of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/3682">TS</a>]

01:01:24   hilarious and fun and in addition to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/3684">TS</a>]

01:01:28   that there's a whole bunch of nonfiction [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/3688">TS</a>]

01:01:29   in uncanny magazine these days there [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/3689">TS</a>]

01:01:32   they have been sort of soliciting essays [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/3692">TS</a>]

01:01:34   about resistance and how people who [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/3694">TS</a>]

01:01:36   create art can survive in a world that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/3696">TS</a>]

01:01:39   is changing from what we sort of have [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/3699">TS</a>]

01:01:42   have dealt with before and how to how to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/3702">TS</a>]

01:01:44   keep yourself sane and and keep creating [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/3704">TS</a>]

01:01:46   and that sort of stuff so that's all [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/3706">TS</a>]

01:01:49   good things to read at the uncanny which [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/3709">TS</a>]

01:01:51   I've had been enjoying quite a bit nice [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/3711">TS</a>]

01:01:52   um i just read john scalzi as the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/3712">TS</a>]

01:01:56   collapsing Empire which I enjoyed it's a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/3716">TS</a>]

01:01:59   fun book I don't think it's calls his [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/3719">TS</a>]

01:02:00   best book I thought it doesn't have as [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/3720">TS</a>]

01:02:03   Scott mentioned earlier like it's it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/3723">TS</a>]

01:02:05   doesn't have the the art I think of the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/3725">TS</a>]

01:02:07   writing doesn't carry the weight of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/3727">TS</a>]

01:02:09   something like NK jemisin with [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/3729">TS</a>]

01:02:11   but it's fun space opera if you want [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/3731">TS</a>]

01:02:14   galaxy-spanning galactic empires and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/3734">TS</a>]

01:02:18   imaginations and things like that and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/3738">TS</a>]

01:02:20   various lords and all of that on planets [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/3740">TS</a>]

01:02:24   it's got all of that in fact I would say [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/3744">TS</a>]

01:02:26   it reads to me and he hasn't cited this [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/3746">TS</a>]

01:02:29   I think as an influence but it reads to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/3749">TS</a>]

01:02:31   me as very much in the style of the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/3751">TS</a>]

01:02:34   Miles Vorkosigan novels by lois mcmaster [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/3754">TS</a>]

01:02:37   bujold it feels very much like that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/3757">TS</a>]

01:02:39   there are some very bujold characters [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/3759">TS</a>]

01:02:41   and that there's more swearing there's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/3761">TS</a>]

01:02:43   more swearing but the setting seems very [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/3763">TS</a>]

01:02:46   similar to that I could almost imagine [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/3766">TS</a>]

01:02:48   the planet called end in this being very [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/3768">TS</a>]

01:02:51   much like like boot like a bar ER on in [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/3771">TS</a>]

01:02:56   bhuj olds world not quite as futile but [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/3776">TS</a>]

01:02:58   still kind of like at the back end of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/3778">TS</a>]

01:03:00   nowhere and and then the Galactic Empire [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/3780">TS</a>]

01:03:03   is somewhere else there's even an [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/3783">TS</a>]

01:03:04   imperial auditor in it which is a job [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/3784">TS</a>]

01:03:06   from that Myles has in some of the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/3786">TS</a>]

01:03:09   Vorkosigan novels but it's fun it is the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/3789">TS</a>]

01:03:11   it is a setup for a series you will get [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/3791">TS</a>]

01:03:14   to the end of the first book and be much [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/3794">TS</a>]

01:03:16   less disappointed if it's very clear [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/3796">TS</a>]

01:03:17   from the beginning this is a prologue [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/3797">TS</a>]

01:03:19   this is set up for the the overarching [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/3799">TS</a>]

01:03:21   plot of the series but it's spaceships [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/3801">TS</a>]

01:03:24   and wormholes and an world building and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/3804">TS</a>]

01:03:28   daring do and things like that and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/3808">TS</a>]

01:03:30   there's nothing wrong with that so it's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMaHjthw/3810">TS</a>]
