Deep Dive into Shadows of the Apt with Adrian Tchaikovsky
I'm please to be joined bt Fantasy and Sci-fi author Adrian Tchaikovsky to discuss his debut epic fantasy series Shadows of the Apt. This series has forever been a favorite of mine and we do a full dive into the world, characters, plot, and then some. There is a non-spoiler section to start and then switches to spoiler talk at the 38:30 minute mark so please beware. One of the best fantasy series on the market today and it is still not very well know to readers. I plan to change that!!! --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/blaise-ancona/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/blaise-ancona/support
