🔥 We read Hot Books and give you Hotter Takes. 🔥 Welcome to the show where two friends—Rich and Ryan—dive into the best (and occasionally worst) of sci-fi and fantasy, one book at a time. Every title gets two episodes: a spoiler-free FastTake for the curious and a spoiler-filled deep dive for the chaos lovers. We skip the plot overviews and go straight for the good stuff: World Building & Lore, Characters, and Story—served with unfiltered opinions, spicy takes, and way too much banter. If you like book talk, laughs, passion, and the occasional nerdy meltdown, you're in the right place

Rhythm of War: The Roshar Science Fair

Buckle up folks, this one’s for the diehards. In our spoiler filled coverage of Rhythm of War, we go full deep dive into Brandon Sanderson’s fourth Stormlight Archive book. No safety nets, no spoiler warnings after this point—just raw, unfiltered takes.

We debate whether Rhythm deserves its “worst in the series” reputation (it doesn’t), break down Navani and Raboniel’s science-magic explorations, and gush about Adolin’s Shadesmar heroics. We’ll talk Kaladin’s brutal battle with depression, Shallan’s truths, Szeth’s absence, and why the plot twist at the end left us divided.

Expect hot takes, courtroom drama, Mortal Kombat-level finishing moves, and more Adolin worship than legally necessary. If you’ve read Rhythm of War, this is the spoiler-filled therapy session you didn’t know you needed.
