Episode 3 - Planetfall by Emma Newman (or An Unreliable Narrator, or Were They?)

Today we chat about Planetfall by Emma Newman, Sci-fi set 20 years after humanity sets foot on a new planet in search of God's City. Nicholas helps us understand how Newman shifts the readers perspective to distrust the main character Renata Ghali's (not Renata Bliss) perspective on the story playing out. We also chat about our favourite cross-over universe headcannon, invented ailments, and continue our tonally jarring novel.

The next episode of the BRBC will come out on the 24th April where we will be reading Strange the Dreamer by Laini Taylor, a second world fantasy filled with creatures, angels, and all sorts of mystery. We will explore how Laini Taylor develops a fleshed out world through immaculate prose. Follow the links below for more details:
