An episode so nice we recorded it twice! But also, JUST KIDDING, this isn't nice at all. This is possibly the most spiteful, angry book we've ever read and we loved every single page of it. What if Medieval China was just as patriarchal and oppressive, but also had giant mechs that fed off of the energy of the male pilot's female concubine? That one sentence should be enough to get you to read this book, so I don't know what you're still doing here...
