#6 The Book That Wouldn't Burn: Chapter 1 - 17

Escapists Anonymous

Sam and Dan discuss chapters 1 - 17 of Mark Lawrence's The Book That Wouldn't Burn: the first instalment of The Library Trilogy.
SPOILER ALERT: This episode contains spoilers of the first 17 chapters of this book. We strongly recommend reading the chapters we're covering before listening.
We dive straight into the big questions around how our two main protagonists, Livira and Evar might be connected to each other. We discuss whether this is in fact a sci-fi or a fantasy novel (or a little bit of both perhaps?). We get to know Livira and Evar, and we delve into Mark Lawrence's world of dust, libraries and eccentric characters, before sharing some theories on where this story is heading.
