Hannah and Laura are in awe because they were able to speak with the supremely talented author of The Gilded Ones series, NAMINA FORNA! Namina shared her experiences in creating magical creatures/worlds, writing about equity and systems, self-care through difficult themes, and the deeper meanings and power in descriptions. This interview was an absolute JOY and Hannah and Laura can't wait to chat with Namina again.

**Spoilers for The Merciless Ones from 29 min 30 secs to 32 min 40 secs.**
