For his first re-read of the series, Matt channels his inner woodland critter and ventures into the novella, "The Builders" by Daniel Polansky. If you love Disney's Robin Hood, but equally adore Reservoir Dogs - this is the book for you! 

The Poppy War left Matt in a haunted daze. He's been walking the streets of New Hampshire unsure how to go on with life. Fortunately, he was able to hold it together for 20 minutes to discuss on this week's podcast. Through tears, let him tell you why The Poppy War is one of 2018's finest. 

Start shuffling your deck and join Matt in a game of "How Amazing is this Series?!". I discuss Shadowblack, the charming sequel to Spellslinger by Sebastien de Castell. Also - squirrelcats, unlikely heroes, and if de Castell finally makes my Mt. Rushmore of Fantasy Authors. I'm sure he's eagerly awaiting the results. Check it out!

Matt evades murder by praising our lord and savior Jay Kristoff and his exceptional book Godsgrave. The book ups the stakes from Nevernight, and unlike this podcast (the first one Matt ever recorded), it doesn't disappoint. Did I just take a shot at myself?! *sigh* 

Matt time travels back to the 80s with Mark Lawrence's superb, One Word Kill. Grab a seat and join him if you love DnD, first love, and terrifying bullies. Uhh, maybe not that last one... Check it out!

Matt talks about the low fantasy, high murder count book, Priest of Bones by Peter McLean. Gangs, child sorcerers, plenty of cussin'. What else could a reader want?

Matt embarked on the intergalactic journey of reading A Big Ship at the Edge of the Universe. Download and listen to hear how much fun he had, and how terrible of a crew member he'd be.
