*Content warning below* Today Megan and Lexie discuss part two of Wilbur Smith's novel, Warlock, which includes a pursuit, a trick, a dust storm, and a change in plans. How many things are we frustrated with in this episode? Too many to count. Gratuitous and poorly written sex scenes, racist and misogynistic elements, and the problematic portrayal of women, particularly African women, in the book, with descriptions that perpetuate harmful stereotypes. Grab your tea, your snacks, and join your friendly neighborhood Ancient Historians for all of this, plus the many historical inaccuracies!
CONTENT WARNING: The end of the book contains explicit scenes of sexual assault. Please listen (and read) with caution.
