Years ago, the city of Bulikov wielded the powers of the Gods to conquer the world.

Greg and Dani discuss the speculation surrounding a Winds of Winter release date, the first book in the The Divine Cities series (City of Stairs), and share a fun announcement!
Just some thoughts I've had lately about blogging and reviewing.
This week, Dani and Greg discuss the The Collapsing Empire by author John Scalzi who is hailed as being the author that writes accessible science fiction!

Events are coming to a climax in the Banished Lands, as the war reaches new heights. King Nathair has taken control of the fortress at Drassil and three of the Seven Treasures are in his possession.

Dani and Greg are re-joined by Jordan for a week to discuss Eragon and to explore a new segment at the end of the episode!
