The Sun Eater Empire of Silence

Hey there folks! This week, Josh and I begin our journey through The Sun Eater Saga by the incredible Christopher Ruocchio. This one is a long one, as there's a lot to bite off and chew; but fear not! Upcoming episodes are a more traditional length.

That said, we had a blast with the very start of the this story here, and there's so much more to come on the journey. Next week, we'll be tackling The Scourging at the Pillar - Marlowe Alone.

See you next week!
