For the month of August, Ronnie chose, M. L. Wang's: "The Sword of Kaigen" which is a self-published novel set in an original universe created by the author. It's a pretty hefty tome, with a map, glossary, and all kinds of cool stuff inside. It turns out that we decided to read a heavy world-building novel the same month we moved but we got through it and have a lot to talk about. The novel follows a family living on the coast of Kaigen who defend the country from other country's initial attacks. As the novel progresses it explores ideas like misogyny, propaganda, honor, and duty.    September's novel is: "Not the End of the World: How We Can Be the First Generation to Build a Sustainable Planet" by Hannah Ritchie.
