Nic and Amanda are joined by Steve from this Endorian Life for a Star Wars Day discussion on The Medstar Duology by Michael Reaves and Steve Perry.
In this episode of the podcast, hosts Tamara and Casey delve into the second book of a sci-fi duology, The Brightness Between Us. They explore the emotional depth of the characters, unexpected plot twists, and the overarching themes of hope and despair. The discussion highlights character dynamics, moral dilemmas, and the implications of choices made by the characters, providing listeners with a comprehensive analysis of the narrative. In this conversation, Tamara and Casey delve into the themes of a recent book, exploring the emotional weight of the narrative, character development, and the contrasting elements of familial and romantic love. They express disappointment in the pacing and the overall tone of the story, which leans towards hopelessness rather than the hopeful resolution they anticipated. The discussion also touches on the scientific aspects of survival and the cyclical nature of despair within the storyline. In this conversation, Tamara and Casey delve into their critiques of a duology, discussing the representation of media, the historical context of storytelling, and their emotional engagement with the characters. They express their thoughts on the duology's effectiveness compared to the first book, and share their excitement for upcoming reads.Ep 529Pick up a copy of today's book!

Send us a textMarty and Holly speak for a second time with Mike Carey in the first installment on our new topic: The Multiverse. Mike has written comics for many big titles in both the DC and Marvel universes, and has also written 19 books including his most recent 'The Pandominion' duology which is comprised of 'Infinity Gate' and 'Echo of Worlds'. The idea of parallel universes arises from an interpretations of quantum mechanics which posits that the wavefunction never actually collapses, just branches into new, independent universes for every possible outcome. It's a mind-boggling idea offering rich and unique narrative possibilities for science fiction. We discuss some of the ideas which support the existence of the Multiverse, dark matter, the evolutionary history of alternate worlds, colonialism and slavery, sentience and necropolitics.Buzzsprout (podcast host):https://thescienceinthefiction.buzzsprout.comEmail: thescienceinthefiction@gmail.comFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/743522660965257/Twitter:https://twitter.com/MartyK5463

Episode 460 - Gillian Eliza West - Ruin - The Infernis Duology, A fantasy romance novelAbout the authorGillian Eliza West, debut author of Ruin: The Infernis Duology, lives in Austin, Texas. With a passion for mythology that has taken her around the world (despite her fear of flying), she strives to infuse her own stories with a similar kind of wonder and magic. Her first foray into writing for an audience came through fan fiction, allowing her to hone her skills as a storyteller. When she isn't working on her debut duology, you can find Gillian snuggled up with her dog, Walter, and a book or her favorite fanfic. Book: Ruin: The Infernis Duology Book One“Ruin is a captivating romantasy that masterfully blends steamy tension with breathtaking world-building. . .a must-read that will leave you bewitched and eager to read the next book.” — Amanda Richardson, USA Today Bestselling AuthorOralia Solis hasn't felt the touch of another in 245 years. Not without them crumbling to ash at her feet. Cursed by the bite of a daemoni, she has been sequestered away for the greater good of Aethera by her adopted father, King Typhon.King Renwick rules the rival kingdom of Infernis, the land of the dead. When Oralia flees the palace of Aethera after her power is let loose with deadly results, he recognizes her potential as a weapon and aids her escape.Oralia finds herself the prisoner of the man she has been taught to fear most, and Renwick is surprised to find there is more to this princess than her untamed powers. Despite the gulf of secrets and magic between them, Renwick can't deny the pull he feels towards her, and Oralia struggles to resist the one person who cannot only survive her touch, but craves it.As Oralia uncovers the truth of her parentage and masters her magic, she will discover that the power to raze or save either Aethera or Infernis lies in her hands. War between the two kingdoms looms and she must decide who she can trust and which she wants more: power or love.Ruin is a true slow burn romance, with enemies to lovers, nods to multiple mythological stories reimagined into new lore, LGBTQIA+ representation (supporting characters)https://a.co/d/dVUSvUASupport the show___https://livingthenextchapter.com/podcast produced by: https://truemediasolutions.ca/Coffee Refills are always appreciated, refill Dave's cup here, and thanks!https://buymeacoffee.com/truemediaca

Roundtable time! This go-round we're covering yet another pair of titles from the New Jedi Order—the Enemy Lines Duology by the late great Aaron Allston. Enemy Lines: Rebel Dream and Rebel Stand are the X-Wing/New Jedi Order crossover books we've all been waiting for. Listen in to find out what we loved. . . and what we didn't.
We're starting our Season 7 read alongs off with a bang! M. O'Keefe's Everything I Left Unsaid duology is some of the best contemporary romance out there, and if you need proof, here it is: The first book ends on a cliffhanger and it holds a prime spot on Jen's keeper shelf. We're talking about all the ways this book works, the way O'Keefe wields tension and description and narrative voice and point of view like an absolute master and delivers a series that is not only deeply representative of the contemporary romance of the mid 2010s, but also a near perfect example of how contemporary can fire on all cylinders.

O'KeefeThe NotesRaise a glass to the Old School Romance Book Club on Facebook. They had their final zoom on October 14, 2024.Problematic vs. Dated originated with a discussion of Rocky Horror Picture Show on Twitter, a conversation that has been ongoing for a long time. Just to be clear, when Jen said “it's 2015 so it's in past” she's referencing that although some books were written in present (like 50 Shades, published in 2011), the wholesale shift to present tense that we see in romance now hadn't happened yet. Researchers and law enforcement professionals have determined that nonfatal strangulation is a leading indicator of escalating violence in a relationship and an important risk factor for homicide in women, and the fact that choking is on the rise in teenage sexual encounters is especially troubling.

Anika and Liz assemble a board of inquiry and examine two episodes which turned out to be significant for Star Trek: Lower Decks - "The First Duty" and "Lower Decks". Are we gonna cry? Oh yes. "The First Duty": Imagine if Beverly Crusher got to parent her son "Anika needs to talk about Jack Crusher" is an item in our outline We get into the really serious issue: who is dating whom in Nova Squadron? Liz's knowledge of American high school life, as gleaned from YA fiction and Archie comics Star Trek is a place where it's okay to fail "Lower Decks": Picard's relationship with Sito The Enterprise only takes the best. So why are the bridge crew SO bad at managing staff? Except Worf, an unexpected contender for Best Boss Ever And Deanna Troi, Holder of the Brain Cell We can infer a lot about Sito's personal growth between "The First Duty" and now, and her reconnection with Bajoran culture Our semi-regular one-sided correspondence with Mike McMahon continues Critiquing Worf's contouring

WooWoo Unleashed: Staring Into Scorpio Eyes with Crystal's Imagination I know I look completely normal in this picture. Stare deeper into those Scorpio eyes (Scorpio is my astrological sign) and you'll see the inner workings of a creatively chaotic mind. I'm okay with that though. What up fellow earthling (or just a what up if you're not from earth). I'm Crystal, aka WooWoo, Storm. WooWoo is a nickname I've gotten because I'm pretty spiritual, and I had a radio show called The WooWoo Hour. Let's delve deeper. Favorite Books: Entirely too difficult to pick a favorite because they're are too many that I could talk about for hours. Favorite TV Shows: Battlestar Galactica, Orphan Black, Farscape, Fringe. Favorite movies: Aliens, Star Wars Return of The Jedi, Star Wars The Force Awakens, The Notebook. Favorite Video Games: Civilization 5, Dragon Age Inquisition, Horizon Zero Dawn, Tomb Raider 2013 & Rise of The Tomb Raider. Favorite Pen: Uni-ball vision elite .5mm purple. There's usually one clipped to the front of whatever shirt I'm wearing. Yes I am geeky like that. Relationship Status: I'm divorced and after ten years living that playa life (lol) I'm back in a loving committed relationship. It's lovely. I don't have any children (don't want any). I did have a wonderful Siberian Husky named Angelus but he passed away at the old age of 17. I still miss him. A lot. But I have a new puppy named, Dio. He's a black lab and a completely love. (Also an asshole. Puppies are complete assholes). Dio the puppy terror
On this edition of Parallax Views, in 2016 a little regional horror movie called The Barn became and underground hit. Set on Halloween, the movie told the story of a group of teenage pranksters and their encounter with a trio of local legend monsters known as The Boogeyman, Hollow Jack, and the Candy Corn Scarecrow. Featuring guest starring roles from horror icons Linnea Quigley (Return of the Living Dead, Night of the Demons) and Ari Lehman (the first Jason from Friday the 13th), the movie evoked the nostalgia of the old Goosebumps TV series and direct-to-video horror movies you would see in mom 'n' pop video stores in the halcyon days of the early/mid 1990's. Director Justin M. Seaman ended up getting a sequel off the ground that was released in 2022 called The Barn Part II that amped up the gore quotient and featured guest appearances by Doug Bradley (Pinhead from the Hellraiser movie franchise), TV horror host Joe Bob Briggs, Diana Prince (Darcy the Mail Girl from The Last Drive-In with Joe Bob Briggs), Troma's Lloyd Kaufman, and returning performances from "Scream Queen" Linnea Quigley and "First Jason" Ari Lehman. Together, these two movie make for the perfect Halloween double feature this spooky season and Parallax Views is joined by director Justin Seaman and cinematographer Zane Hershberger to discuss this spook-tacular double feature! THE BARN duology has it all: chainsaws, blood, zombies, curses, 90s nostalgia, creepy monsters, practical special effects, Halloween season atmosphere, and much, much more!

Hey there, writers!In this minisode, Karissa breaks down popular duology Gilded by Myrissa Meyer, master of the YA fantasy genre and fairytale retellings in particular. Not only does this book carry the same tone and craft as Meyer's famous Lunar Chronicles books, but it delves into somewhat lesser-known fairytales for a refreshing spin on what has become a beloved genre. Rife with danger, ill-fated love, and impossible ultimatums (including spinning straw into gold), this duology promises a classic, high-stakes fantasy with an originality that only Meyer brings to the table.Join Karissa as she analyzes Gilded the duology, offering a review of what does and doesn't work from a writer's perspective!Keep writing, everyone, and we'll see you on the next page...Find us on social media @thescripturientsocietyCheck out our sister podcast That Pretentious Book Club for bookish comedy content!Support the show at https://www.patreon.com/storysirensstudio or check out merch and more at storysirensstudio.comSupport the show

The books of the moment for today's episode are The Daughter of the Moon Goddess and The Heart of the Sun Warrior by Sue Lynn Tan. Just a forewarning for those of you listening, this is NOT a spoiler-free zone. We will be discussing this duology in all of its glory, which of course includes revealing the ending. Sue Lynn Tan is the award-winning author of Daughter of the Moon Goddess and Heart of the Sun Warrior, a romantic fantasy duology inspired by the legend of Chang'e, the Chinese moon goddess. Her books will be translated into sixteen languages, and are USA Today and Sunday Times bestsellers. Born in Malaysia, Sue Lynn studied in London and France, before moving to Hong Kong with her family. Her love for stories began with a gift from her father, her first compilation of fairytales from around the world. After devouring every fable she could find in the library, she discovered fantasy books, spending much of her childhood lost in magical worlds. When not writing or reading, she enjoys exploring the hills, lakes, and temples around her home.
