August 2020
The end of summer is nigh, at least that’s what they tell us. What’s for certain is that our Analysis posts are at full throttle, with articles on Dune, Eragon’s sequel, and the Wheel of Time. But don’t worry; if you’re looking for something a little broader, we also have posts on character likability and common problems with grimdark tales. We’ve even got a piece about stories who killed the wrong character, in case you’re still as upset about your fave getting offed as we are. Enjoy!
