episode 39: Genderswaps in the Dark and Humorous Fairy Tale “Princess Floralinda and the Forty-Flight Tower” by Tamsyn Muir
“It's also not fair at all that stupidity has gotten you this far. That's another creature you've killed simply by having no brains, which makes anyone with brains feel as if it isn't worth the headache of having them.”
This type of quick, witty humor is what characterizes the treat of a read that is “Princess Floralinda and the Forty-Flight Tower” by Tamsyn Muir. It’s got all the ingredients of a modern day fairy tale: a badass princess, a stuck-up fairy, and an entrepreneurial witch. But in the end, there is a monstrous twist. In this episode, we talk about this delightful novel and how it examines gender and sexuality.
