Tom and Veronica remember when they read a book. It was called Slow Gods by Claire North. And they're definitely not just reading the latest Dungeon Crawler Carl book instead of that one or the next one, Red Rising.

I very much enjoyed the discussion of Slow Gods in this episode, especially about Maw’s agency within the story, and his powers and how he chooses to use them (or not use them).

I also liked the part about the ultimate lesson to ‘live with love’, although Tom’s quoting of the line ‘Nothing’s forever, so nothing’s to fear’ has lodged the song ‘Boompala’ by Le Sserafim in my head. I don’t know if this was an intentional quotation or if Tom has simply been ear-wormed as badly as I have by this insanely catchy K-pop mashup of the Macarena with snippets of Indian philosophy.

Catching up on my podcasts and can't believe neither of you could figure out why someone would come out with a best LGBTQIA+ Sci-fi/Fantasy books before *pride* month.
