Just before The Dark Mirror was finalised for early readers, TGE's Current Read host Sam Herbst caught up with epic fantasy author Samantha Shannon to pick her genius brain about the worlds her readers have come to adore.
Best known for her epic fantasy tome Priory of the Orange Tree (a high-fantasy feminist retelling of St George and the Dragon), Samantha Shannon came to fame as a young writer for dystopian The Bone Season series.
Interestingly, Shannon chose to rewrite The Bone Season series in celebration of her debut's tenth anniversary. She finished the author's preferred text just before the publication of the much-anticipated fifth instalment, The Dark Mirror.
Shannon offloads on TGE's Current Read, filling us in about her decision to revisit The Bone Season books, what we can expect from The Dark Mirror, and what's next in the pipeline for the Roots of Chaos series.
She also chats about her writing process, how she deals with chronic illness, and what she thinks about being touted as "the feminist JRR Tolkien".
