BefuddledPanda and Cesky are excited to chat about The Emilie Adventures by Martha Wells, author of the very popular The Murderbot Diaries. This is her YA steampunk fantasy adventure duology that Tor is re-releasing as a bindup. It consists of two YA steampunk fantasy adventure stories featuring…you guessed it a girl named Emilie. The first book is called Emilie and the Hollow World, originally published in 2013. The second book is called Emilie and the Sky World, originally published in 2014. Since we’re discussing 2 books in this episode, a quick overview of the format. We’ll start with a spoiler-free discussion of both books and then dive into a spoilery chat of Emilie and the Hollow World, and then a spoilery chat of both books.
The first part of the episode is spoiler-free with spoilers starting at 9:33.
