Welcome back! We're discussing all three books by Youtuber Lindsay Ellis. @LindsayEllisVids This is a DEEP dive into the worldbuilding, plotlines, and character work across the Noumena Series to help you decide if you want to read it.

The series has an incredible race of extraterrestrials and juggles heavy themes and social commentary. We'll also look at how the series has a rough start, but ends up being a masterpiece. We'll celebrate the strengths of the books, and analyse the weaknesses in an honest but kind manner.
