The Blasters & Blades PodcastWe’ve got a dozy for you today! We had on author Shami Stovall to get nerdy with us. We talked about her origin story and then we talked about our geeky childhood loves of dinosaurs and monsters. I really enjoyed sitting down with the incredibly prolific Shami. She’s the mastermind behind the hit Frith Chronicles series. If you haven’t started this journey yet, you’re missing out on one of the most inventive takes on the “magical bond” trope in modern YA and Epic Fantasy. Starting with Knightmare Arcanist, Shami introduces us to a world where “Arcanists” bond with mythical creatures to gain incredible powers. But as we’ve discussed on this show before, power always comes with a price. I was curious about this world, so this one got added to my TBR list. This was a fun interview, so go check out this episode. Lend us your eyes and ears, you won't be sorry!!
