S.2 Ep. 5: Alchemised: A Mythic Mic Deep Dive with Karina Giada (Part 1)
🎙️ Welcome back to The Mythic Mic Podcast, where myths intertwine with reality, legends come to life, and fantasy is more than just a story!
In this special deep dive episode, hosts Bethany Amanda and Sara Santillan are joined by artist Karina Giada to unpack the breathtaking fantasy that none of us can stop thinking about: Alchemised.
From the hauntingly beautiful world-building and intricate alchemical magic system to the characters who shattered us (and maybe healed us too), we’re diving headfirst into everything that makes Alchemised pure fantasy perfection.
đź’” What makes a villain truly unforgettable?
🗝️ How do you balance love, power, and destiny when the world is falling apart?
🔥 And what happens when transformation costs more than you’re willing to give?
This is Part I of our Alchemised Deep Dive, where we explore the story’s core themes, the characters who linger long after the final page, and the moments that left us completely speechless.
If you’ve read Alchemised, prepare to spiral with us. If you haven’t, you’re about to find out why everyone’s obsessed. 👀 IMPORTANT: This episode contains spoilers!
