Interview with Lindsey Byrd (The Sun Blessed Prince & The Moon Blessed King)

from Paperback Ponderings · host Sarah & Kyla

This week, Sarah and Kyla sit down with Lindsey Byrd to chat about her queer political fantasy book, The Sun Blessed Prince, and its newly released sequel, The Moon Blessed King! Tune in to hear about how the pandemic and the question of what it would be like if nurses could heal with a single touch inspired the story, along with the real-world location that influenced the story's physical setting. Lindsey also discusses her favourite character in the story, and why the less likeable characters play such an important role. This episode contains minor spoilers for the first book (no major events), and no spoilers for the second book.
