Welcome to the More Magic Book Club, a podcast for fantasy readers dying to talk about the latest fantasy book you read.

Each month, we discuss a recent fantasy novel in detail so you know you’re not the only one who hated that character or wanted to move into that fantasy world (and you also don’t have to worry about exhausting your friends who just don’t get it).

This podcast is not spoiler-free. Listen at your own risk.

This month we discuss Tress of the Emerald Sea by Brandon Sanderson. We chat about hard and soft magic, Sanderson's world building, women in fantasy and more.
