Thank you! The initial idea seed for this book and its magic system came up during a tabletop roleplaying game session. One of my favorite aspects of SPELLHACKER was the incredibly inventive magic system. SPELLHACKER is one of my most anticipated 2020 releases! There’s so much to talk about: the characters, the setting, the conflict. Thank you so much for taking the time to chat with me. When I heard from MK England that they’d chat with me about this January 2020 title, I was overjoyed!ġ. But when their final heist turns into a world of trouble and reveals a new strain of (rather explosive) maz, they realize they may have uncovered the secret to the spellplague. That’s where Diz, Remi, Jaesin, and Ania come in: they steal maz. Now, maz belongs to a greedy corporation controlling access under the guise of public safety. Maz used to be a free natural resource in Kyrkarta, but that was before an earthquake released a plague that killed thousands. Heists, magic, and queerness abounds in this incredible sophomore novel. The genre-bending YA fantasy needs to be on everyone’s radars. SPELLHACKER is the first title I’ve read in a long time where I have felt completely seen. We talk all the time about relatable characters, #ownvoices, and being able to see yourself on a page. England’s writing that I just understand.
