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!
If We Survive This
Circe
Each spell was a mountain to be climbed anew. All I could carry with me from last time was the knowledge that it could be done.
Circe by Madeline Miller brings us back to ancient Greece and follows the nymph Circe, a powerful witch who is at war with her own divinity. A side character in the Odyssey, Circe takes centre stage as she stuggles with her exile and decides what kind of person she wants to be.
Jen and Ellie set out across the seas in search myth retellings, character development, and how they'd fair against a baby minotaur.
