Send us Fan MailWell...we finished Iron Gold. This is the part in the show notes where we typically include a quippy little one liner from one of our most favorite Red Rising characters or moments. And whoever gets the inside joke, gets it. Then we laugh (

The Buddies are back to continue their "summer saga series" (say that 10 times fast) with Pierce Brown's "Dark Age," the fifth book in the Red Rising universe and second in the Iron Gold trilogy. This new trilogy is basically Game of Thrones in space, but with more creative ways to die. The Buddies got to discussing summer camps, habituation, the Black Knight from Mondy Python, and how this book made the battle of Helm's deep blush. That and much more. So grab your anti-radiation meds, practice your habituation techniques (you'll need them), and join the Buddies as they navigate a book where Mercury finally gets some respect and literally everyone you like probably dies!

The Buddies are back from their extended hiatus (sorry vacations, bats, and constipation got in the way) to tackle Pierce Brown's "Iron Gold," the fourth book in his Red Rising series. The first trilogy currently sits #1 in both Keith and Dman's rankings, so big expectations for this one. The Buddies got to revisit their old friends Darrow, Severo, Mustang, and many more along with some new friends as well. Did Iron Gold meet the Buddies high standards? Well, you'll just have to listen to find out. So, grab your razor, practice your "Hail Reaper" salute (but maybe not in public), and join the Buddies as they navigate Pierce Brown's expanded universe of morally questionable heroes and volume-inconsistent narrators!

So we're wrapping up this book, and I'm a little sad because I'm just finally really starting to get into things.

So sorry about that.These chapters are the ones where Ephraim tries to fix what he did when getting involved in this kidnapping, and possibly is opening a much bigger and worse can of worms. Meanwhile I'm still trying to decide what hell Appolonius' deal is.Thank you all so much for listening, and I will see you soon with a new episode!Wanna talk spoilers?

In this episode of The Break, I look back at this year's Academy Awards Ceremony, I share why 'Frieren' may be one of the deepest and most thought-provoking anime series I've ever seen and I tell you why Pierce Brown's Iron Gold derailed my reading plans for this year. In the Premium part of the show, exclusively for my patrons, I share the process of changing and adapting a homily at the last minute, I tell you about my upcoming Hobbit retreat and I bid farewell to the wedge-shaped MacBook Air.
In this episode, I'm delighted to be interviewing Margaret McNellis, a historical fiction writer with whom I've had the pleasure of working on two of her books: Daughter of the Seven Hills (due for publication on 21st May 2024) and Hearts of Iron & Gold. We talk about all things historical fiction, from the challenges of research to wearing funny hats. Oh, and we talk about what it's like to be coached!
