535. All Things Magical with Freya Marske

[Artemis Gordon]

A | BN | K | AB

I didn’t know this, but author Freya Marske has been so eager to be a guest on my show, and today, it’s happening! Her latest book, A Restless Truth, is out this week, and if you like queer magical historical mysteries with murder, this series is for you. We talk about magic having a physical cost, and how she highlights the classism and sexism of a magical system controlled and maintained mostly by men. We also talk about her favorite magical systems in fiction, magical spells, and we end with Many, Many recommendations.

Grab a cauldron and join us!

What about you? What magical spells would you want mastery over?
