Video Rec 'From the Vault': Episode from April 2025 where Zach & Jim proposed 4 great reads that could be the perfect match for when a person first finishes The Wheel of Time, and asks, "What now?" Still great suggestions! #WoT #SFF #Fantasy youtu.be/b403nATKNRY

Traveling for work this week, TERRIBLE wifi (a hotel I'd now never recommend). Throws a HUGE wrench in recording plans. No new episodes this week (hasn't happened in years!). I'll be prepping a bunch, instead. Time to explore our back catalog! www.youtube.com/@Fantasyfort...

Demon’s Rise (Jantakai Saga 2), 52%: Beyond a doubt, R.E. Sanders has done it again. This novel is SO fun to read, a delightful epic fantasy tale, building on book 1 (and the other novels in this world), but going so much further, so richer. Loving it! #Fantasy #SFF

One of our video viewers shared a conversation heard in a bookstore: "Is The Lord of the Rings any good?" "No. It is just a bad ripoff of Terry Brooks." 👀🤪😡🥹 #Fantasy #LOTR #SFF #Shannara

Finished Ex-Purgatory, the 4th in Peter Clines' Ex-Heroes series. Brought a creative twist, helped us understand core characters better. Enjoyed it. 4.5 out of 5, as it lacks the narrative depth for a 5, but it's well-written & thoroughly entertaining. #SFF #Superheroes #Zombies

Ex-Purgatory, 92%: The author took a HUGE gamble in the premise of this story. And at this point, I have to say it TOTALLY worked for me. Still have to complete the wrap up, but WOW. So great a read! #ExHeroes #SFF #Fantasy #Superheroes #ZombieApocalypse #Dystopian
