Writing Excuses 10.22: Project-in-Depth—Of Noble Family

What this episode covers

If you haven't read Mary's latest novel, Of Noble Family, this episode contains many spoilers, and you'll get a lot more out of the discussion if you read the book (or listen to the book) before listening. So... spoilers. Of Noble Family is set in Mary's Glamourist Histories universe, an alternate history setting, on the island of Antigua. Our discussion focuses primarily upon the research that Mary did, and the way she tested and then applied that research to the story. This includes how the research touched on the magic system of the Glamourist Histories, and how linguistic and cultural differences might affect the use of Glamour.
