]]> Happy Fantasy Friday. What happens if you take inspiration from a historical prince with an evil to good arc and flip it on it's head? Enter The Prince Without Sorrow. Lauren was so thilled to talk to Maithree about her debut novel which could be Lauren's book of the year. They delve in deep to the infusion of Buddist philosophy into the Mayakari (witches)... talk family infighting and Maithree shows much restraint in not giving book 2 and 3 spoilers.
