“Fantasy is

…when you take something either completely made up or something that starts in the real world and you add something to it.”

…less of a technological fiction and more of a biological fiction…inventing races or magical abilities.”

“Fantasy…includes elements of fairy tales and myths and legends.”

This time I’m revisiting a book I briefly talked about on my episode about Patrica McKillip, this time going full book discussion and full spoilers with Karen Beck and Rachel Young from the Fantasy Faction Facebook group.

This has become one of my favorite books since I first read it. You should read it, too.
