Ep. 132 - Ch. 18 Ship of Magic - Malta

Luke and Emma dive into Malta Vestrit's character for the first time. We catch up with her in the midst of a plan to get to the Liveship Trader Harvest Ball all on her own, with her own gown. As a 12 year old, she definitely has everything figured out and doesn't lie, get caught, and understands what everything she's doing implies. Full of frustration, we talk about Bingtown society, the role of women, and parallels with Althea. We're reading Ship of Magic by Robin Hobb, book 1 of the Liveship Traders in The Realm of the Elderlings.
