In the final episode of 2023, we welcome Vickie Lan to the Toolshed, host of the Speculative Sandbox Podcast.


Vickie is a specialist in deconstructing fantasy tropes. Her show sees her joined by top authors to discuss everything from The Chosen One to beardy wizard mentor figures.


In our chat, we cover the epic fantasy quest—its classic features and how you can spin them.


We also discuss tropes around resurrections and mentor figures, as well as tropes generally.


And Vickie shares some fantastic examples of books and writers who have spun things to create something brilliant and original.
