If We Survive This
A fantasy book club with a survival twist!
Join Jen and Ellie as they discuss fantasy books - spoilers and all - from plot and language, to themes and character arcs, before taking a look at the challenges in the world and seeing if they have the skills to survive them.
Can horse riding set you up for success at dragon riding school?
Will scheduling skills help in managing armies?
Is everything possible with a can-do attitude??? (No. Definitely not.)
Part book review, part break down of the skills needed to truly be the main character.
Let's see if we survive this!
