You're listening to All the Backlist, a weekly show about books that are not new.

I'm your host, Vanessa the S, episode 421.5, airing on to life 14th, and today I'm

going to tell you about three books that are the first installments in some really,

really fun sci-fi and fantasy series.

That sounds so generic and vague, but what I mean by fun is very uniquely fun, fun in

a way that was super immersive and escapist for me in the last year when I think a lot

of us is like, I feel like I've said a thousand times on this show now, just having a hard

time of it when the world feels like we're constantly the dog in that this is fine meme.

And so if you've been looking for really escapist, engaging fun, reading with fantastic

characters and it's like high stakes, just something that really sucks you in immediately

then you're going to want to pick up these books and these series before I babble on

about those.
