Ep 62. "The Power that Preserves: The Chronicles of Thomas Covenant" by Stephan Donaldson

To follow and support us, click here: http://anovelreviewpodcast.com
The final chapter in the First Chronicles of Thomas Covenant and unsurprisingly, he is still as unpleasant as always. Unaccepting of his situation and blaming everyone along the way, Thomas takes the back seat to his own story. The land faces all-out war in this brutal tale of attrition where only those that have something to fight for, will prevail
Painting: I painted the eyes of Lord Foul how they were described in his creche

We are back at Hogwarts for Harry’s 4th years of mischief and mayhem.

A world of infinite halls where Piranesi roams and makes his home. There are 16 people from this world with only two alive – himself and ‘The other’. In this world, they lead different lives as Piranesi tracks the events of the years that pass. But as we delve deeper into the cavernous halls, we also delve into the life of Piranesi and page by age we begin to learn that this world is not all it seems, and Piranesi is not who he thinks he is.

Ep 58. "Yom Kippur in a Gym and In Sickness and in Health" by Nora Gold

To follow and support us, click here: http://anovelreviewpodcast.com
 
Two novellas for the price of one and it's a bargain with the skill of Nora Gold on full display. Two stories that navigate different issues in two very different ways. But both the stories are similar in that they require inflection and honesty - an inflective process and honesty that transfers to the reader with every page turned.
Painting: I painted A sick woman in a bed because that is essentially what one story entails, but i also added in honey, because the other story discusses honey cake, and it made me hungry!
Some of the books and authors discussed in this episode include:
“Yom Kippur in a Gym” by Nora Gold
“In Sickness and in Health” by Nora Gold
“Gilden-Fire” Stephan Donaldson
“The Goblet of Fire” by J.K. Rowling

To follow and support us, click here: http://anovelreviewpodcast.com
We are back in The Land, and Thomas is just insufferable and unbelieving in his situation. Assuming He is living through a dream sequence, he rejects the dream in a bid to not commit to a growing madness in his mind. But this existential exploration of action vs inaction lays out across the Land and the scope of this book making it one of the most defeating books.
Painting: I painted the great forest of Garroting Deep which plays an integral role in the brutality of the end of this story
