Fantasy Fiction aficionado and Instagram mixologist Jeanette Bruce joins Red Fern to discuss fantasy fiction and a classic thriller. The Starless Sea is a luminous fantasy novel heavy on imagery and lighter on world building. The Shadow of the Wind is a timeless, modern classic set in Barcelona about a young man who owns a copy of a rare book at his own peril. Jeanette and Amy discuss cocktails and tea, what constitutes a fantasy novel and the role of women in The Shadow of the Wind.

Fantasy Fiction enthusiast David Gates joins Amy in a discussion about Natasha Pulley's The Kingdoms. This is the story of Joe Tournier who arrives in the city of Londres in the French Colony of England in 1898 with no memory of who he is and how he got there. When Joe steps off a train he has a postcard in his pocket written in forbidden English, with a postmark dated 1805 though it inexplicably bears the image of a recently-constructed lighthouse.
Joe’s search for his identity leads him to the Outer Hebrides and back and forth through stone portals that take him on a dangerous quest to reunite with his family without changing the course of history—or erasing his own existence.  Amy and Dave discuss the pros and cons of audio books and when it is ok to throw in the towel on a book.
