Episode 33 - The Raven Ring, by Patricia C. Wrede
b'
We\\u2019re rereading The Raven Ring, by Patricia C. Wrede! Travel with us to Lyra, where there\\u2019s a super engaging fantasy murder mystery afoot and endless D&D-esque quests popping up in your path. Have you ever attempted to leave a city again and again, only to be beset by thieves, sworn mortal enemies, and an annoyingly persistent lord? You\\u2019ll relate to Eleret as she applies careful logic to the chaos surrounding her, all while navigating the emotional fallout of her mother\\u2019s suspicious death.
This episode has a whole lot to offer, from an in-depth discussion of being a woman warrior in fantasy (and why Patricia C. Wrede gets it right), to the timeless appeal of an impish rogue, to a noble\\u2019s breakfast that leaves Madeleine feeling nauseous and recalling memories of bad clams. Grab your raven\\u2019s feet and make sure nobody\\u2019s blocking your throwing lines - trouble\\u2019s afoot in Ciaron!
