Can hardly believe I get to say this but the new Kirkus Magazine has a feature where I get to talk about the real reason fantasy is so popular and important. This is a gratifying chance to gush about the genre I love, in an interview by the wonderful writer and editor Amy Goldschlager. I will treasure our conversation, just like their starred review of Silver Throat: «Vast in scope, intricately plotted, and utterly original.»

The magazine is out now, and you’ll find the interview on their front page today.
