  • Very much worth your time

    I originally got into this pod while reading Wheel of Time and have kept going as I’m now reading The Cosmere. The hosts are ridiculously knowledgeable and dig DEEP into theory/lore, which is right my alley. I would highly recommend this to anyone who reads fantasy.

    ** Bonus point: I actually messaged them on Twitter about a Cosmere question and they got back to me immediately, providing the exact answer I was looking for.

    Keep it up guys!

While it ranks at the bottom of the Black Company series for me, it still holds value.

It's sort of fast-paced but lacks a diversity of literary flavor.
