Episode 33: The Hundred Thousand Kingdoms
Listen now
Description
Winter is coming. That means it's time for us to dive into the world of fantasy ( ... er, or into fantasy worlds). This episode, we read N.K. Jemisin's 2010 debut novel, The Hundred Thousand Kingdoms. Mollie wasn't kidding when she said this was a sexy book. Gods sexing up gods. Gods sexing up humans. Humans sexing up their cousins. It's wild, y'all. But, in the midst of all the sexy times, there's a deftly crafted murder mystery that took us the majority of the episode to unspool. Listen in and follow along!  Get ready for the next episode, our annual End-of-Year retrospective. We'll chat about the bookish good, bad and the ugly. Got something you want say?

As always, thank you to Suite45 for our theme song, Jones’n.
