This is something rare, maybe not as rare as Thunderfury back in the day, but rare still. This is a good Warcraft novel. I poke fun, it's no secret that I have massive issues with the direction that Warcraft has been heading since Frozen Throne. Although, there are bits of cool still left in Warcraft, and Shadows of the Horde is one example of that. Is this spectacular? No, but it is a good read with characters that are just good, most of them anyway... The villains suck, but the bonds between our heroes is strong enough to carry this one. Good job Stackpole.

World of Warcraft: War Crimes, what can I even say about this one? The novel feel like this is a bit, a joke which is funny as a concept, but does not a strong novel make. Archaic grammar aside, this one does nothing, but more damage to Warcraft's already limping credibility. It's not for everyone, but is it for anyone? Yes, the most die-hard WoW-fans and lore fanatics may get some kind of a kick out of this – general fantasy fans or old school Warcraft fans; you have been warned.

Summary: Welcome to Episode 8 of our special Throne of Glass series, friends! Aelin is being tortured and held inside an iron coffin by Maeve and her lackey, Cairn. Lysandra plays her at the front, Rowan will stop at nothing to find her, and things are looking very grim for our heroes. Today we explore Kingdom of Ash Part 1, the seventh (or eighth depending on your reading order) book in ToG. As Maeve and Erawan begin to make their final moves, the grand tapestry of friends, allies and lovers across continents must come together and find a way to overcome horrible odds and an existential evil. We have both been reading the Throne of Glass series by Sarah J Maas, a mutual favorite author who we celebrated in a previous LoveFest episode. We will be releasing monthly special episodes in which we debrief on each book as we go throughout the series.  We encourage you to read along with us throughout the year–or at whatever point you’re jumping into these episodes–and enjoy our reactions, speculations, and gushing as we explore this new fantastical world. As a reminder, each episode will have spoilers for the book being discussed and any of the books we've read previously, but we won't give spoilers beyond that point. Episodes will continue to drop each month until we finish the series.

Summary: Welcome to LoveFest number six, where Holly and Devin gush about the acclaimed fantasy author V.E. Schwab. Every ten episodes our hosts come together to highlight where their tastes intersect. While you may think of V.E. Schwab as being squarely in Holly’s wheelhouse, this author is more similar to Neil Gaiman and infuses empathy, care, and creativity into plots so that even the most sensitive romance reader can find something to love.  Topics Discussed: Author Background (4:04): Completing her first work at the age of 19, V.E. Schwab (pronouns she/they) has since published more than twenty works for YA and adults. Publishing under the monikers Victoria Schwab and V.E. Schwab, this author is best known for fantasy series that blend with reality and creepy, ghost-filled plots. Highlights for Holly and Devin generally are her monthly newsletter and her almost poetic, haunting style.  Series (10:25): Cassidy Blake Series City of Ghosts Tunnel of Bones Bridge of Souls Shades of Magic Series A Darker Shade of Magic A Gathering of Shadows A Conjuring of Light The Fragile Threads of Power Villains Series Vicious  Vengeful Victorious (pub date TBD) Standalones (34:01): Gallant The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue  The Near Witch Hot On the Shelf (55:05): Devin: Bride by Ali Hazelwood Holly: James by Percival Everett What’s Making Our Hearts Race (59:45): Devin: Season 2 of Extraordinary on Hulu Holly: Perfect Days, Japanese film    Instagram: @heartsanddaggerspod Website: www.heartsanddaggerspod.com   If you like what you hear, please tell your friends and rate and review us on Apple Podcasts and Spotify so that we can find our perfect audience.

Merry Christmas and Happy Hanukkah, Book-Heads! This week John and Ben are joined deep in the stacks by Eden of Death//Sentence, Heavy Blog is Heavy, and AnarchySF to discuss the "Velvet Underground of 80s Fantasy Novels": "The Dragon Waiting" by John M. Ford. Topics of conversation include the wild and wooly figure of John M.
