Swords clash and wizardry reigns supreme as we return to Sam's favorite genre of fantasy. "The Heroes" by Joe Abercrombie is our first foray into the world of "grimdark" fantasy, an intriguing combination of humor and cynicism. And what better to go with a book about a three day battle than a classic Bloody Mary? Two favorites make a return, Chima with "The Demon King" and limoncello in our Gin and Thyme cocktail. If these books don't delight, our tales of taking book pictures in an apartment parking lot with a sword, drinks, and dog is sure to do the trick.
Join us next week as we dive into Harry Potter, which Sam has never read. As always, find us and extras on LitandLiquor.com and our drink recipes on our Lit & Liquor Pinterest page.
