A Pod of Smut and Wingspan
Episode 31: When the Stars Alight by Camilla Andrew (The Essence of the Equinox Book 1)
02 Oct 2024
Come join us as we discuss the first book in The Essence of Equinox series by Camilla Andrew! Princess Laila Rose is a fallen star in human form. A beloved guardian to humanity. Yet in spite of these fantastical origins, she has never much believed in prophecies. That’s why when a demon of apocalyptic legend is presented to her in a block of ice, she feels fascination rather than fright.This gothic fantasy set in a vibrant gaslamp world is a must-read for fans of Catherynne Valente and Angela Carter. It’s written in lush, lyrical prose full of intricate worldbuilding, courtly intrigue, and magic that seeps through the pages. Beneath its light, romantic and whimsical veneer, you can expect darkness, brutality and passion.
