So, being fairly recent to EP, within the last year, this is my first taste of Marjorie, Znob, and the whole Deathtrap universe. I have to say, though corny at times, it was a fun romp through an interesting world. The Back to the Future reference had me laughing and groaning at the same time. I mean, it was both horrible and awesome.
Now, perhaps it's because I'm new to the Deathtrap stories, but I couldn't help but wonder why these tales aren't being run on PodCastle rather than EscapePod. I mean, where's the sci-fi in this? The complexity of the traps? It's very clearly a fantasy tale. I'm not complaining, I really enjoyed the story, I'm just a little confused is all. Since this is a continuing series, I would think we would know by now that these are more fantasy than sci-fi and have moved them over to the fantasy podcast. Or do they hold place here due to some grandfather clause? Marjorie was one of the first, so she is always welcome back?
Either way, a fun tale thoroughly enjoyed.
