#29 Pagans - Full Review
Sam and Dan review Pagans, by James Alistair Henry.
SPOILER ALERT: This episode contains spoilers. We strongly recommend reading this book before listening.
We delve into this crime-thriller set in an alternative version of modern-day England, where 1066 never happened and Pagan religion and culture dominate. We struggle to figure out whether this is a fantasy book or an alternative history, before discussing the world-building, plot and characters.
