In this 58th episode, I review the Heir to the Empire (Star Wars: The Thrawn Trilogy, Vol. 1) by Timothy Zahn. Listen to hear why I thought it was an amazing book that did a fantastic job of handling some of the most beloved characters in fandom. Timothy Zahn knocked it out of the park in this one. I also talk about how amazing the audiobook narrated by Marc Thompson are because of his ridiculous talent for doing all the voices and all of the extra production that went into it with sound effects and music.

In this 56th episode, I review the book "The Way of Kings" by Brandon Sanderson. It's his first book in his epic fantasy series called The Stormlight Archive. Listen to hear why I struggled through the first 3/4 of the book, only to fall in love with it at the end and be super excited for book 2 in the series. It was a big of an uphill battle for me, unlike most readers on this book, but it was well worth it. I loved this book by the time I got to the last act of the story, and I loved book 2 in it's entirety, so I'm very excited for this series to continue.

In this 55th episode, I review the book "Hollow World" by Michael J. Sullivan. Listen to hear why I think it's an instant science fiction classic.

In this 54th episode, I review the book "The Fault in our Stars" by John Green. Listen to hear why it was an instant classic for me and falls into the class of books I know I'll read again over the years. Unlike most episodes, where I stick to strictly reviewing the book, I do a bit of rabbit trailing about why certain books seem to be my favorites—including The Fault in my Stars. My favorite genres are Sci-Fi and Fantasy adventures, but somehow my favorite books end up being coming of age literary dramas. I explore this topic a bit so you get more than just a book review in this episode.

That modern setting is also in traditional Viennese cafe culture, so for a coffee lover I was totally in from page one. Listen to hear why I gave this great book with rich characters 5/5 stars.
