Only Niffy’s speech in Empire of Bones compares. Have you read it? What’s your favorite work of his?

As to podcasts… I’m super into political ones, but that can be weird/divisive to talk about so I won’t get into all that. Pseudo-Intellectual with Lauren Chen is my favorite of those, though.

I did read At the Foot of the Rainbow. I agree, I didn’t like it as much as the others. I finished Keeper of the Bees, but it’s also not my favorite. My favorite (after Girl of the Limberlost, of course) is probably The Harvester. Or maybe they’re tied. Freckles is really good too!
