  • Royal Assassin - Part 1

    In the previous book, Fitz bonds with a dog. In this book, he bonds with a wolf. What's the next step, the final evolution? What's the Blastoise of wolves?

    These questions not answered in the episode, but it's still a fun discussion of a great book.

    We're continuing with the second book in the Farseer Trilogy, Royal Assassin. And goddamit, it's even better than the first one.

    And we're sorry about the weedwhacker noise in the background of Danylo's audio about halfway through. If we could go back in time and kill the weedwhacker guy, we would.

  • Assassin's Apprentice - Part 2

    This book is unbelievably good. I love Fitz and Prince Verity and they are my real life best friends.

    What an incredibly breath of fresh air! The fellas finish Assassin's Apprentice and are left feeling... good? Excited for the future? Almost as if maybe they should just be reading stuff they like and not stuff that makes them want to give up their ability to read? Find out within...

  • I Am Legend

    We dive into the mind of Robert Neville, a lonely, sexually repressed, alcoholic 1950s white man who staves off his horniness by blasting classical music and checking out books from the library.

    And yeah, he’s the last man in the world. And yeah, he’s killing LOTS of vampires.

    (Also did we mention he’s really horny?)
