The City of Ember

To anyone who likes stories about kids that act like kids but also save the world (like Harry Potter and The Books of Beginning) I would very much recommend this book. I couldn't actually finish its sequel, because I'm a biased hack, but I really liked this one.

Also, because I forgot to add my rating for this introduction into the script until after I'd already finished recording, and I knew it was too long; I'm giving this introduction a slim 4 out of 5. It does what it needs to and it's very clever about not setting up a character with Gandalf-itis, but I would have much preferred an intro that was a little more active.

That said, it was good, and it caught my attention very well even as it is.

This podcast will be going on hiatus for a little while. The next episode will be available to the public on the 24th of June, but new episodes will (as usual) be released to patrons early, so if you want to resume your usual programming sooner than that, toss some money in the pot and let's see where we can take this!
