Jade Legacy by Fonda Lee Andy and Dani finish the series. How did Andy make the right predictions? Can the last book in a trilogy ever be the best? These character arcs are NEXT level, ummm this Tar guy is killing it… literally, missed opportunities, and please don't give either of us jade.

When you've put your heart, soul, blood, sweat, and tears into building a world -- what happens when you then have to leave it behind? Most SFF authors will, at some point, close up their work in one world and start building a new one, but that comes with its own set of challenges! You know the old world so well; it's become comfy and familiar. The new world still has all its work yet to be done, and while it has the shiny lure of new discoveries, it also may seem daunting to start the process of figuring out how a world works all over again. In this episode, Fonda Lee and Melissa Caruso re-join us to discuss shifting focus from one world to another! Where do you start? How different do you need the world to be? We also chat about not just the mental challenges of clearing out one world to make room for the new one, but the emotional challenge of pulling yourself away from a place you love and know so well! Our Guests:  Melissa Caruso writes books of murder, magic, and mayhem. Her published fantasy novels include the Swords & Fire trilogy (THE TETHERED MAGE, THE DEFIANT HEIR, THE UNBOUND EMPIRE) and the Rooks & Ruin trilogy (THE OBSIDIAN TOWER, THE QUICKSILVER COURT, THE IVORY TOMB), all from Orbit Books. Her debut novel was shortlisted for the Gemmell Morningstar Award in 2017, and her books have received starred reviews and made countless Best Of lists. Melissa is a tea drinker, larper, and mom, and lives in Massachusetts with her video game designer husband, two superlative daughters, and assorted pets. Fonda Lee is the author of the epic fantasy Green Bone Saga, consisting of the novels Jade City, Jade War, and Jade Legacy, along with a prequel novella The Jade Setter of Janloon and a short story collection, Jade Shards. She is also the author of the science fiction novels Zeroboxer, Exo and Cross Fire. Her most recent work is the fantasy novella, Untethered Sky. Fonda is a winner of the World Fantasy Award, the Locus Award, and a five-time winner of the Aurora Award (Canada's national science fiction and fantasy award), as well as a multiple finalist for the Hugo Award, the Nebula Award, and the Oregon Book Award. Her novels have garnered multiple starred reviews and appeared on Best of Year lists from NPR, Barnes & Noble, Syfy Wire, and others. Jade City has been translated in a dozen languages, named to TIME Magazine's Top 100 Fantasy Books of All Time, and optioned for television development. She has also written acclaimed short fiction and been an instructor at writing workshops including Clarion West, Viable Paradise, and Aspen Words. Fonda is a former corporate strategist and black belt martial artist who loves action movies and Eggs Benedict. Born and raised in Canada, she currently resides in the Pacific Northwest.

Y'know, the thing about the world is... It isn't static! It changes, all the time, and if you want your invented world to feel real and full of life, a great way to do that is to make sure it also changes. But how do you build societal change into your fictional world? Guest Fonda Lee joins us to discuss cultural diaspora, temporal shifts, geopolitical cross-pollination, and other exciting ways to show the natural shifts and turns of society. We also discuss how sci-fi seems to incorporate the idea of diaspora and change more readily than fantasy has often done, and we examine how magic might affect ideas of cultural shifts across space and time. Transcript for Episode 64 (Thank you, scribes!) Our Guest: Fonda Lee is the author of the epic urban fantasy Green Bone Saga (beginning with Jade City and continuing in Jade War and the forthcoming Jade Legacy) and the science fiction novels Zeroboxer, Exo and Cross Fire.

Fantasy doesn't always have to be about orcs and wizards. In this episode, we talk about modern fantasy books with Fonda Lee. Fonda is the author of the incredible Greenbone Saga which recently made NPRs greatest 50 sci-fi and fantasy books of the decade. She has won a world fantasy award, three aurora awards and could legitimately fly-kick anyone who started a flame war with her on Twitter because she's a black-belt martial artist. Fonda's recommendations for great modern fantasy books include: The Craft Sequence by Max Gladstone The Divine Cities Trilogy by Robert Jackson Bennett The Books of Babel by Josiah Bancroft The Kingston Cycle by CL Polk The last book in Fonda's Greenbone Saga, Jade Legacy is out Nov 30th. Get it wherever all good books are sold. You can also find Fonda on Twitter, Instagram or on her website here.

This week I'm joined by author Fonda Lee, whose upcoming novel "Jade Legacy" caps off her expansive adult fantasy trilogy "The Green Bone Saga." Inspired in part by martial arts and gangster films, "The Green Bone Saga" is a compulsively readable epic that I have become absolutely hooked on, and on this episode we talk about the work that went into building that world, the challenges of writing sequels, Fonda's favorite films, the perpetual nightmare that is Twitter, and so much more. You can find more information about Fonda at her website, or follow her on Twitter and Instagram. Order your limited edition box set of the complete saga from Illumicrate. Want ad-free episodes?
