Murderous status, dragons, and culinary competitions, oh my! For our first interview of 2019, we’re excited to bring to you the fantastic S.A. Chakraborty. Paul and Elizabeth chat with S.A. (Shannon) about book two of the Daevabad Trilogy, Kingdom of Copper. They explore why the second book is set a good five years after the first one, how the characters deal with the political turmoil of a land divided, why being a good person is completely subjective, how language and cooking help set the tone for the worldbuilding, and a heck of a lot more! Minor spoilers lie ahead, but this interview is absolutely brilliant! We hope you enjoy the episode! Show Notes: Shannon’s Website Shannon’s Twitter The Kingdom of Copper (GO BUY IT!)
