This month for our conversation on dinosaurs, we read Blood Adept by Glynn Stewart. Here is a brief description of the book: Hard rides and long nights as a cattle hand prepared Teer for the harsh life of a bounty hunter on the Unity’s eastern frontier. His fate now tied to the disguised El-Spehari demigod Kard, his quick eye and steady shooting hand have kept them both alive—even when the bounty hunters decided justice required taking a fugitive beyond the reach of the Unity’s law.

This month for our conversation on the use of elements and elemental powers in fantasy, we read Avatar: The Last Airbender – The Rise of Kyoshi by F.C. Yee. Here is a brief description of the book: The Rise of Kyoshi follows Kyoshi in her early teens and her journey into becoming the Avatar.

This month for our conversation on airships, we read Leviathan by Scott Westerfeld. Here is a brief description of the book: It is the cusp of World War I. The Austro-Hungarians and Germans have their Clankers, steam-driven iron machines loaded with guns and ammunition. The British Darwinists employ genetically fabricated animals as their weaponry.
