39. Leviathan Wakes by James S. A. Corey - Grounding Stories With Characters

Science fiction space operas are stories told at an epic scale. How can you make such a vast world accessible to readers? How can you ground these fantastical and strange new worlds in a sense of realism? Balancing the epic with the human is perhaps the greatest strength of Leviathan Wakes by James S. A. Corey (first book in The Expanse). Today's show dives deep into analysing how characters are they key to guiding readers through epic stories. Show Notes:jedherne.com/fires – get a free short story and join my email newsletter to hear about future book giveaways!jedherne.com/question – submit your questions for the show!anchor.fm – what I use to make my podcast for free (note: I am not sponsored by them and I make no money for this – just recommending a useful tool that I use)--- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/novelanalyst/message Hosted on Acast.
