This month we are joined by author Molly O'Neill to chat about her debut novel, Greenteeth.

We spend the first third of this interview without spoilers, then we shift and chat about the entire book (especially the end!) for the rest. We end with a lightning round and what's next for Molly.

If you haven't read the book, we highly recommend waiting to listen to the spoiler part until you finish it.

Let us know what you thought about Greenteeth in the comments!

This episode is extra special because the More Magic co-host, Marianne Boules, wrote a children's picture book! In this episode, we discuss the story behind the book, why readers will love it, and how children's books lead to fantasy lovers.

Welcome to the More Magic Book Club, a podcast for fantasy readers dying to talk about the latest fantasy book you read.

Each month, we discuss a recent fantasy novel in detail so you know you’re not the only one who hated that character or wanted to move into that fantasy world (and you also don’t have to worry about exhausting your friends who just don’t get it).

This podcast is not spoiler-free. Listen at your own risk.

This month we discuss Tress of the Emerald Sea by Brandon Sanderson. We chat about hard and soft magic, Sanderson's world building, women in fantasy and more.
