Fate vs. Destiny, and Creating Sympathetic Villains | A Conversation with Author H. R. Cole 

Welcome back to the new season of The Bookshelf Odyssey Podcast! Today I interview H. R. Cole, author of the epic fantasy Daughter of the Void. We discuss her novel and how it explores fate vs. destiny; we dive into what makes for a fascinating and sympathetic villain (with some side tracks discussing MCU supervillain Thanos!), and she shares some tips on how writers can avoid burnout by showing kindness to themselves and their writing process. We also share some books we've been reading lately!
