In this episode, Michael & Ethan discuss The Light Between Oceans, by ML Stedman. Ethan’s audio is better this time than last time, but it’s still a little fishbowl-y. Maybe it’s just his voice? We’re pretty sure next time will be better still. In this episode: Ethan is sure Syd Field exists, or did This book is not a book (again) Ethan only complains for 1/3rd of this one! Michael is a mythology tease This book has it both ways Ethan puts his foot in a door that Michael was already opening Next episode they’ll talk about The Dream of Perpetual Motion, by Dexter Palmer.
