Join us for Nettle & Bone by T. Kingfisher. This dark fairytale doesn’t ease you in; it drops you straight into the quest, where magic hums quietly, power lives in women’s hands, and the world feels both familiar and strange.
In this episode, we discuss:
- How fairytale logic shapes the world
- An in media res start and being dropped into Marra's quest
- The power of women — godmothers, dust-wives, queens, and sisters
- World-building that relies on what’s known rather than what’s explained
- Portal moments that make the story come alive: bone dogs, goblin markets, and...dancing teeth?
If you love atmospheric fantasy, folklore retellings, or immersive fairytales with a sharp edge, this episode will feel like stepping into the mist.
