Thor is back! He's gadding about the galaxy (for a hot second)! He's riding a pair of screaming goats (under-utilised)! He's having weird feelings around his ex while his axe is having weird feelings about his old weapon hanging around, being all sultry-like!

We want to hear what YOU think! Drop in on the Talking Fiction discord server, or reach out on Twitter.

Monsters and Madness and Magic, oh my! Today we're talking about who or what makes a monster in Nikky Lee's debut novel 'The Rarkyn's Familiar'. Spoiler alert: it's FANTASTIC; but is it the worldbuilding, the characters or the themes that elevate this first entry in the Rarkyn series? Let's find out!

And once you've listened to what I have to say, grab your own copy of 'The Rarkyn's Familiar' and continue the conversation on the Talking Fiction Discord server!

We're back with Aussie author extraordinaire Anthony O'Connor! A lot has changed for the author of "Straya" since the foul-mouthed, post-apocalyptic, mutants-with-a-heart-of-gold book hit shelves a year ago. Is there a sequel on the way? Or something even MORE exciting? Tune in and let Anthony tell you in his own words!

If you missed the previous discussion with Anthony O'Connor regarding his book Straya, you can find it here.

And you can find my review of the book here.

But most importantly, if you haven't yet read this fantastic, lyrical tale, you can grab your own copy right here!

Then hop along to the Talking Fiction Discord Server and tell us how excited you are about what's next for Straya.

Talk soon!

Marvel's Eternals has an incredible cast of beautiful people, interesting characters and a plot that... err... well... is trying to do a lot of things. Did departing from the Marvel Formula result in a 'too much, too soon' approach? Terry dives deep into what makes for a good build of scale in superhero movies and explores how Eternals holds up.

Murder; intergalactic super spies; space station crime syndicates; military coups; an apocalyptic global pandemic and a sweet little old lady you DON'T want to cross - John Appel's debut sci-fi novel has it all. Can the book juggle all these elements and more, or is it just too much to keep in the air? Find out in my review of 'Assassin's Orbit'.

Marvel's 'What If' is well and truly out - and the statute of limitations on Spoilers is about up, right? Join me as I break down what I loved about each episode and where I felt the series fell short of it's overall potential.

And yes, fear not - there is indeed a Douglas Adams reference for Episode #42

Sliding in much later than this was recorded because my time scheduling is GARBAGE while lockdown is on - today we're talking about one of my favourite books of the year: 'The 22 Murders of Madison May' by Max Barry!

If you're the multidimensional variant of yourself that's itching to read this incredible book you can get a copy here - trust me, you won't regret it.
