Description

Charles returns from paternity leave and rejoins Dylan for a jam-packed episode of the Friends Talking Fantasy Podcast! 




In this catch-up session, The Friends discuss:

 • Charles’ first months as a new parent and how audiobooks fueled his reading (12+ books in 3 months!) 

 • Their thoughts on Legends & Lattes and how cozy fantasy surprised them both 

 • Reactions to Red Seas Under Red Skies and why Locke & Jean finally click as an all-time fantasy duo 

 • Hot takes on James Islington’s The Will of the Many and its “pyramid scheme” magic system 

 • Impressions of Fourth Wing by Rebecca Yarros 

 • A dive into classic David Eddings pulp fantasy and the joy of retro covers 

 • Early reactions to Brandon Sanderson’s Wind and Truth and the ever-expanding Cosmere 




It’s a wide-ranging conversation full of laughs, book talk, and reflections on life as a fantasy fan (and new dad).
