A DESOLATION CALLED PEACE
We're back to Teixcalaan for another dose of diplomatic/linguistic foofaraw. This is a very comfortable book, and we discuss how nice it is that the legacy of CJ Cherryh lives on, Except With Lesbia…
UNCONQUERABLE SUN
It's Alexander the Great, but in space, with lesbians! And she wins American Idol??
Fair warning: one of us really hated this book.
THE CITY IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT
Here we have a book about being in love with a creep - same-sex attraction, it turns out, is not proof against such things - and about attempting to colonize a planet inimical to human life and the p…
DIVINE ENDURANCE
A girl and her cat (or is it a cat and her girl?) wander away from the factory where they were built and discover what remains of human civilization in a deeply poetic/depressing journey down the Ind…

NINEFOX GAMBIT
In this episode we discuss Ninefox Gambit, a book about calendars, empire, and war, and the first in a number of books we'll discuss wherein the wizard lives inside the lesbian's head, rent-free, and…
THE UNSPOKEN NAME
In this episode we talk about The Unspoken Name by A. K. Larkwood, which is maybe our favorite wizards vs. lesbians tale (for now), and which is like the Locked Tomb meets Planescape, but with added …
GIDEON THE NINTH
Hello! Welcome to our new podcast, where we talk about wizards, lesbians and the conflict that naturally arises between wizards and lesbians. Our first installment concerns a book that is absolutel…
