Hannah Whitten on FOR THE THRONE
\u201cAnd when you give people the option to kind of live inside the head of a different character \u2026 if you're doing your job, and you make it a character that they can see themselves in and they can empathize with, and then you kind of throw these things at them. And then it just changes the way that people think about something.\u201d\xa0
For the Throne\xa0is the stunning conclusion to the Wilderwood duology that invokes familiar fairy tales with sharp prose and epic world-building, and it\u2019s out now. Hannah joins us on the show to talk about what draws readers to retellings,\xa0The Hobbit\xa0and\xa0The Lord of the Rings\xa0as a gateway to all fantasy, writing\xa0fanfiction\xa0and what she does with all those candles,\xa0The Foxglove King, her dream cast, what she\u2019s reading and watching right now\xa0and much more with\xa0guest host\xa0Kat Sarfas.\xa0
