Six Crimson Cranes Sep 13, 2022

Show notes

We discuss Six Crimson Cranes by Elizabeth Lim. We talk about curses, evil (or not so evil) sorceresses, dragons, and princes with hearts of gold. We have vague memories of watching The Swan Princess as children. And we're so excited to find a new author to love!

When Beauty Tamed the Beast Sep 06, 2022

Show notes

We discuss When Beauty Tamed the Beast by Eloisa James. Most of us enjoyed this surprisingly funny historical romance inspired by Beauty and the Beast. We debate what counts as an adaptation vs. just being a trope, talked about epidemic responses, and touch on the show House whom the main male character is based off.

Black Sun Aug 30, 2022

Show notes

We discuss Black Sun by Rebecca Roanhorse. Our enjoyment of this book scans the spectrum, so we debate what we like and don't like. We enjoy diving a bit into Native American mythology. There are a lot of characters and POVs to keep up with. At least one of us is curious what comes next.

The Girl Who Fell Beneath the Sea Aug 23, 2022

Show notes

We discuss The Girl Who Fell Beneath the Sea by Axie Oh. We like the imagery, and are reminded of Spirited Away and other Studio Ghibli movies. We discuss the story's shuffling of gods and fates. We enjoy this retelling of a Korean folk tale.

A Song of Wraiths and Ruin Aug 16, 2022

Show notes

We discuss A Song of Wraiths and Ruin by Roseanne A. Brown, which is based on Egyptian mythology. We have some thoughts about character development and world building. We'd like to connect with our characters, and have some strong opinions about how family relationships can help us do that.

Daughter of the Moon Goddess Aug 09, 2022

Show notes

We discuss Daughter of the Moon Goddess, by Sue Lynn Tan. This book is adapted from the story of Chang'e, the Chinese moon goddess. We love that our kick-butt archer heroine gives us Mulan vibes. The fantasy setting of this book is gorgeous and makes our hearts ache. We've got a love triangle and a betrayal that some of us saw coming...but not all. And we have a new author to love!

Uprooted Aug 02, 2022

Show notes

We're kicking off our myths and legends season with a chat about Uprooted by Naomi Novik, which is rooted in Polish folklore. We have an unexpectedly compelling villain, a naive but determined heroine, and mixed feelings about our hero. Plus a "dragon," a tower, and insidious evil.
