Sisters of Sword and Shadow

It's hot off the press. This week the fellas crack open feminist leader Laura Bates' fantasy debut Sisters of Sword and Shadow. They discuss this depiction of sorority, feminism, the deconstruction of Arthurian chivalry, as well as its high and lows. They cover the differences between feminist fiction writing and non-fiction writing, Duncan gives us an engineering crash-course in swords made of tin, Geordie spends entirely too much time weaving conspiracy theories about the number of number of Elaines in Arthurian literature, and they both try to figure out if anyone has ever actually depicted King Arthur's knights as being the good guys?
