The Sibling Sidequest
The Sibling Sidequest is a fantasy book podcast where two siblings read their way through some of fantasy’s most iconic series: one as a first-time reader, and one as a long-suffering veteran nerd.
Each season, we pick a fantasy series and discuss it book by book. For season one, we’re reading The Wheel of Time.
Expect sarcastic commentary, strong opinions, questionable predictions, and even the occasional good point.
Be warned: spoilers abound! But only up to the book we're currently discussing.
