Ep. 10: Spindle's End by Robin McKinley


Listen Later

"We may not like it, but we need human friends, because we have human enemies whether we will or nay." 

After a struggle spanning multiple decades, Cassie has finally managed to swindle Drew into reading Spindle's End by Robin McKinley. As we continue on into the second week of Sleeping Beauty Month, we discuss the clever ways in which McKinley breathes life into this tale while simultaneously twisting and maintaining the story's origins. We discuss the book's relationship dynamics, the permeation of magic through the story, and much more, plus Cassie sheds light on the novel's dreamlike final battle for Drew because he's very confused.
