"They Left Magic In Their Wake is an extraordinarily imaginative and vivid look at a post-apocalyptic sci-fi / fantasy world where we get some of my favourite things."

Pam Bondi will not have a license to practice law when this is all over. You can’t stay a bar member and agree to investigate only members of one political party for child sexual abuse but not members of the other. And, you can’t do it after previously saying no one else could be charged.
