The Fantastic Books Podcast: Fantasy and Sci-Fi Book Reviews

It's the grand finale The Fear of Moncroix, and, as promised, all was revealed (including who was hiding in plain sight)! Davion and Carneth have to put their final plans into motion to reveal the culprit in the Wayward plot and destroy evil within the vampiric court. Sam is blown away with a few twist reveals at the end. We also discuss favorite scenes and characters as well as which Intercontinent we would want to live on.

We're back in spooky-town! Davion and Carneth's well-laid plans to thwart the vampires have gone awry as Carneth is captured by Tassia and Davion is questioned by Baron Elbourne. Carneth meets a fallen god, but thankfully he has one trick up his sleeve...or should we say up his pants?

We also get very sidetracked in a conversation about book cover design.

Vin is in enemy territory as she makes her way to Kredik Shaw to confront the Lord Ruler. While there, she makes many discoveries, including what is in the room she and Kelsier attempted to break into, what happened to Reen, the conflict and politics of the Steel Ministry, what happens when you burn the 11th metal, and, most importantly, what happens when you finally learn to trust. Both Sazed and Elend come to her aid, but the final battle will be between Vin herself and the man who calls himself the Lord Ruler. Only one Mistborn episode left!

We're casting the Fear of Moncroix movie, and we've got some awesome ideas! This book would translate so well to the big screen, as we can see from the excitement, character development, and intrigue happening in these chapters. Davion and Carneth's plan to fool the vampiric court is in full swing, but it looks like Fiona might have even more devious plots up her sleeves. Sam is convinced everything in this book could be a trap!

Other topics include magic systems, movie directors, vampire hissing, and fantasy religions.

We are into the great Sander-lanche, everybody. This is not a drill! Kelsier has his great battle and defeats a steel inquisitor to then fall to the Lord Ruler himself. Vin tries to come to terms with Kelsier's death only to find out there's always another secret. With great revelations, the Skaa revolution begins in earnest. Everyone in the crew has a job to do and Vin must now confront Kredik Shaw and the Lord Ruler.

Let's get spooky, fantastic listeners!

We are joined by author Bryan Asher as we delve into his third book, The Fear of Moncroix, set in his Intercontinent Series.

This gothic-style horror fantasy centers on Davion, the lone survivor of a group of magical protectors known as the Waywards. Ten years ago, Davion and his compatriots went undercover in the Vampiric Court to investigate devious plot the vampires were developing to escape their home planet of Moncroix. Now, Davion is the only survivor and he is trapped in his undercover role, still unsure of who hatched the original plot. Moncroix has a new visitor, Carneth Allard, a son of one of the Waywards who is determined to find his father's friends and become a famous monster-killer himself.
