In our first bonus episode, we're stepping away from our reread for an interview with a very special guest: Carl Engle-Laird, editor of the Locked Tomb series. We discussed a poem from Nona the Ninth that was recently released by Tor.com Publishing, then looked back over Carl's journey editing this series, from his first impression of Gideon the Ninth to the decision to split Alecto the Ninth into two books. Carl also dropped some no-context clues about Nona the Ninth and gave his thoughts on sexy bones for Bone of the Week!

A transcript is now available for this episode!

* SPOILER ALERT * We reference events from GTN and HTN in this podcast, as it’s intended for readers who’ve already finished both books.
