In March and April we ran the Lazy Book Lovers podcast's first ever buddy read! The rules are simple, we try to pick an indie author whose book is available on Kindle Unlimited and we have two months to read it. Our book for March-April was Trial of the Sun Queen by Nisha J Tuli!

In this spoiler free episode, we talk about the themes, plots and characters in the book and what we did and didn't like.

You can join our next buddy read on Storygraph here, which will be A Thorn Among Roses by Hayley Anderton!
