Read This F***ing Book

Long promised and not forgotten, Elena and Rachel are back to talk about the gentleman bastards of The Lies of Locke Lamora by Scott Lynch. It's a bit of a heist, a bit of a mystery, with a lot of swashbuckling flair and enormously engrossing world-building.  As always, beware spoilers!   Also, check out our other podcast covering Robin Hobb's Realm of the Elderlings, Buckkeep Radio!  Follow us on twitter @RTFBPodcast Rec your favorites to us or join in the discussion!   NEXT BOOK: The Murderbot Diaries by Martha Wells   Theme from "Books" by Jahzzar

We took a year off but we're back and what better book to get us back into the swing of things than the sequel to our last episode?

Rachel rec'd her favorite book of the year for this spooky-season episode of RTFBPodcast and Elena loved it. We're reading Gideon the Ninth by Tamsyn Muir. The story of a smart-ass sword fighter and the necromancer she loves/hates (and there's MURDER). Come for the skeletons! Stay for the emotions! Gideon the Ninth is like nothing you've read before. Rejoice, the sequel (Harrow the Ninth) is out June 2020. #GriddleForever   Also, check out our new podcast covering Robin Hobb's Realm of the Elderlings, Buckkeep Radio!    Follow us on twitter @RTFBPodcast Rec your favorites to us or join in the discussion!

We are back after our summer off! We're reading Brandon Sanderson's Warbreaker. This is Elena's first dip into the Cosmere and Rachel's favorite of Sanderson's works. We talk about why fantasy is a great space to write about religion, why Nightblood is our favorite and debate the husbandly merits of Vasher vs Lightsong. #OhHiHoid   Also, check out our new podcast covering Robin Hobb's Realm of the Elderlings, Buckkeep Radio!      Follow us on twitter @RTFBPodcast Rec your favorites to us or join in the discussion!

We can't stay away from Ann Leckie! We read her full-length Fantasy debut, The Raven Tower. This one is a vengeance gig with gods (rocks, swarms, forests, talking snakes and more!), murder mysteries and subtly complicated twists and turns. Take a listen for a spoiler-filled discussion.   #ReckonThis Follow us on twitter @RTFBPodcast Rec your favorites to us or join in the discussion! NEXT BOOK: Warbreaker by Brandon Sanderson
