Ep 51: Book review of the Forever Sea by Joshua Phillip Johnson

Hey ecofictologists and welcome to episode 51 of the Ecofictology podcast! This minisode Monday, i am bringing you my book review of The Forever Sea by Joshua Phillip Johnson. It is an ecofantasy novel that I got super excited about as soon as I heard about it, I think it was mentioned on the Writing Excuses podcast which I absolutely love and all but tripped over myself to grab it once i heard that it had a magic system involving music and had an ecological message. I am always looking for more ecological themes in epic fantasy and this book has pirates, monsters, a cool magic system, and water shortages due to finite resources. It’s perfect for me. This wednesday coming up, I will be sharing my interview with the author, Joshua Phillip Johnson, which was so much fun, he was great to talk to, so check back in on wednesday if you want to know more. As I am posting this on the podcast, the second book in the series, The Endless Song, has been published so you don’t even have to wait between book 1 and 2, you can just follow Kindred’s journey. This is an archived episode from my youtube channel so if you prefer the visual medium, you can find the link in the shownotes. The one I posted there was the edited, highlight reel version as it were, but this is the interview in full so I hope you enjoy.
