Week 2 of SCI-FI September! All this month we're looking at sci-fi book series, today's focus on The Broken Earth trilogy.

This multi-award winning series shows some of the absolute BEST writing I've ever seen! It's also very dark at times and shows a confronting and profound look at humanity.

We also discuss clever writing styles, the mysterious world, original magic system, and some of the best character work in the genre. Hope you enjoy!
