Ep 571 - Cast in Shadow (The Chronicles of Elantra Book #1), by Michelle Sagara

Super-dense fantasy isn't everyone's cup of tea, and even people who enjoy that kind of tea can sometimes find individual cups of tea that aren't to their taste. Still, any book with lion and bird people in it can't be all bad. This episode is sponsored by BetterHelp.

Ep 570 - The Last of the Mohicans, by James Fenimore Cooper
