November 21, 2025: ISLES OF THE EMBERDARK by Brandon Sanderson

Join us on Zoom in November to discuss ISLES OF THE EMBERDARK by Brandon Sanderson. From Goodreads:

"All his life, Sixth of the Dusk has been a traditional trapper of Aviar—the supernatural birds his people bond with—on the deadly island of Patji. Then one fateful night he propels his people into a race to modernize before they can be conquered by the Ones Above, invaders from the stars who want to exploit the Aviar.
"But it’s a race they’re losing, and Dusk fears his people will lose themselves in the effort. When a chance comes to sail into the expanse of the emberdark beyond a mystical portal, Dusk sets off to find his people’s salvation with only a canoe, his birds, and all the grit and canniness of a Patji trapper.
"Elsewhere in the emberdark is a young dragon chained in human Starling of the starship Dynamic. She and her ragtag crew of exiles are deep in debt and on the brink of losing their freedom. So when she finds an ancient map to a hidden portal between the emberdark and the physical realm, she seizes the chance at a lucrative discovery.
"These unlikely allies might just be the solution to each other’s crisis. In their search for independence, Dusk and Starling face perilous bargains, poisonous politics, and the destructive echo of a dead god."

RSVPs for this event will close at the end of the day on November 20, so please RSVP early and add the Zoom link to your calendar!

After book discussion, we'll choose a date and title for our next meetup, then round-robin for "What are you reading/what are you watching." See you, space cowboys!
