This is Not a Woman To Be Underestimated! The Tremontaine Listen-A-Long
Posted on 2015-11-16 at 00:16 by Dave
"Heavenly Bodies" (Tremontaine, Episode 3) by Joel Derfner, Narrated by Sarah Mollo-Christensen, Nick Sullivan, and Katherine Kellgren Length: 2 hours
Last week Sam told me he'd been able to get around to listening to the Pilot episode of Tremontaine, and while he enjoyed it, suggested I maybe oversold the sex. (But not the chocolate!) And I suppose that he was right -- the sex in the first episode (and last week's) was insinuated. But "Heavenly Bodies" was such a delicious double-entendre, I think we

"What is Necessary is Not Always Just!" The Tremontaine Listen-A-Long Continues!
Posted on 2015-11-10 at 06:25 by Dave
"The North Side of the Sun" (Tremontaine, Episode 2) by Alaya Dawn Johnson, Narrated by Sarah Mollo-Christensen and Nick Sullivan Length: 1 hour, 38 minutes
While last week focused on the different introductions to Riverside and this cast of characters, this week the story seemed to tighten it's focus on Kaab in particular, though we also spent time with Micah, Rafe, and (SURPRISE) Tess and Ben. Kaab's storyline drove the whole episode -- she's sent on an errand to the Fenton household to secure saffron

Finding out that there was a new story set in Ellen Kushner's Riverside was kind of like waking up to a delicious cup of chocolate and then sporting with the beautiful woman beside me. And then some more chocolate. And then some more sport. You get the idea.

Review: The Fall of the Kings
Posted on 2013-09-27 at 19:58 by Dave
The Fall of the Kings (Riverside, Book 3) By Ellen Kushner and Delia Sherman Narrated by Ellen Kushner, Nick Sullivan, Simon Jones, Katherine Kellgren, Robert Fass, Richard Ferrone, Tim Jerome, and Neil Gaiman Length: 18 hours, 40 minutes
Often fantasy fiction relies on escapism through the fantastic, so it's refreshing when you come across a book like The Fall of the Kings that kind of skewers that the fantastic necessarily equates escape. The Fall of the Kings is very much a left turn from Swordspoint.

Review: The Privilege of the Sword
Posted on 2013-09-24 at 06:19 by Dave
The Privilege of the Sword (Riverside, Book 2) By Ellen Kushner, Narrated by Ellen Kushner, Barbara Rosenblat, Felicia Day, Nick Sullivan, Katherine Kellgren, Joe Hurley and Neil Gaiman Length: 15 hours, 40 minutes
I have a serious complaint about Ellen Kushner's The Privilege of the Sword: it ended. I could’ve happily listened to 100 more hours of Katherine’s Tom Joad-esque mythology as a swordswoman for the disenfranchised and disempowered. But look, I'm getting ahead of myself. But look again, this book
