Hello! I’m really enjoying the podcast; I especially enjoy the recommendations- I had completely missed Uprooted and was so delighted with it. I was wondering if y’all were planning on doing Sabriel, etc by Garth Nix? He’s a bit hit or miss (Clariel earns a quarter for the swear jar in this house) but I could write a thesis about the colonial symbolism and I rank it up with Fury Road as far as female characters from a male creator. Anyway, thanks for creating this lovely thing. Rock on!

Hey, yeah Uprooted is a good one! We’re glad you checked it out. One of our faves for sure. 

We don’t have a Sabriel episode scheduled at the moment, but we’re very aware of how informative and influential it is as a fantasy novel. Not sure if you’ve read Winterspell by Claire Legrand for example, but it seems very influenced by Garth Nix.

We’ll cover it at some point. Right now we’re on sort of a sci fi kick but we’ll be shifting back to fantasy down the road.
