Regular contributor Will Wong reviews and leads an interview about the Abolethic Sovereignty with author Bruce Cordell. All in all, books sound very interesting to me and it’s a great way to see how 4e D&D and Forgotten Realms is impacting your novel lines. Enjoy!

I love interviews so that was great, thanks as always. In fact this was a series of books I was considering buying, I say considering as now hearing Bruce talk a little about them I definitely will now (through the Amazon link of course).
I must say I found the starting review to be a little spoilerish, so halfway through it I skipped to the interview to maximise my enjoyment for reading. Still great show!

Having not read the books myself (although they already sit on my shelf) I found that the review was maybe a little spoilery, but not too bad. Most of what was discussed in the review seemed to also come out in the interview, but I can’t blame you one bit.
I’m always interested in going interviews on the show, by the way. Freelancers and novel authors are the easiest to arrange, so if you have suggestions on who you want to hear let me know.

Has the reviewer ever read a book review? We do not need a page-by-page summary of the events in the book.
Tome Show is slipping - the recent Cleric build episode had Jeff stepping all over the guest, who clearly prepared but never got to share.

Book reviews, in my experience, tends to come in a variety of formats. On The Tome Show we’ve always erred on the side of thorough as opposed to incomplete.
This may not be everyone’s style, and I certainly recognize that.

Recording a new episode Thursday night. Primal Power. Then I’ll be setting up another advice episode.

I was trying to fill 20-30 minutes and thought going into detail on the characters and what they did in the first quarter of the book was a good way to do it. I may have gone too far but nothing can be done now.
