Podcasts about Blood Heir

We were so lucky to have had Amélie Wen Zhao as a guest on the pod @ameliewenzhao 

In this episode, we spoke to the writing team of Jasinda and Jack Wilder (who we had the chance to meet at NINC 2022), wife and husband and parents to six kids, who write their own books as well work collaboratively. Between the two of them, they have written dozens of books, many of them best-sellers, across a multitude of genres and sub-genres. Be sure to check out their latest releases, Dirty Beasts: Chance, the latest instalment in the Dirty Beasts series, Music & Lyric, a new adult contemporary romance, and Blood Heir, a vampire romance (hinted at in this very episode!). We heard about how they balance parenthood with working as indie authors, how they utilize their newsletter to reach readers, how they use their pen name for multiple genres, and get into how the indie publishing industry has changed over the course of their ongoing career and more!

Blood Heir was almost pulled from publication, but we're glad it wasn't! Although the story gets rather bloody, the slightly different setting, light romance and clean language work in its...

Blood Heir by Amelie Wen Zhao is a YA fantasy novel set in a world where some people have magic (Affinites) and some don't. The story follows an exiled princess and a con man as they both seek revenge. However, this book almost wasn't published following the controversy surrounding it. I break down the controversy and explain my view, talk about my changing opinion on this book after my reread, and discuss the character development of Ana and Ramson.

Blood Heir : By - Ilona Andrews Blood Heir was a stunning experience that acquaints us with the Princess of Shinar. Website : https://gobookmart.com/blood-heir-by-ilona-andrews-is-a-stunning-experience-that-acquaints-us-with-the-princess-of-shinar-novel-review-and-podcast/ Blood Heir is the first novel by Ilona Andrews in her brand-new Kate Daniels World series. In Blood Heir, despite the fact that I had read some early parts that Andrews so magnificently gave us glimpses, I was completely overwhelmed with this story. I was unable to put the book down until I completed it. Obviously, Ilona Andrews has ascended to the first spot on my list of most loved writers that I need to read.. Eight years before, Julie Olson Lennart (Kate and Curran's adopted girl), left Atlanta for California and stay with her super amazing auntie, who might help show her how to find out about herself. The puzzling death of a pastor, takes Julie back to Atlanta, however she is currently exceptionally incredible, mystical, with another face and new name, Aurelia Ryder. Aurelia shows up not uncovering her identity (she is presently the Princess of Shinar), however with the information that she needs to stop an old super powerful god, Moloch, who is resolved to decimate the world and Kate Daniels; and on the off chance that she uncovers her personality or goes to see her mom, Kate and those she loves will die. Aurelia is all alone to discover the killer of the pastor, and mysterious animals that are murdering those touching an extraordinary relic; when she does this the prophecy can be halted. However, would she be able to defeat Moloch? When Aurelia shows up, she is met by a wolf pack, preventing her from entering Atlanta, driven by the Beta of Bouda pack, Ascanio; she figures out how to move beyond them, and not be identified. She took the case of the dead pastor as a Knight. Aurelia meets evil nearly at each progression, and regardless of all the fire and warmth, she figures out how to crush the animals sent to destroy her. In a brief timeframe, Luther and afterward Feldman find who she truly is, and due to the potential of Kate's death, they honor staying quiet about her character. Yet, Aurelia is then sucker punched by an enormous werewolf, who likewise needs to know who executed the pastor, and needs to work with her. Regardless of her refusal, he and his pack follow everything she might do. What follows is an interesting, awesome, mind-blowing action filled spine chiller beginning to end. Aurelia Ryder is currently a bad ass courageous woman, who figures out how to win her fights despite dangerous circumstances that made them hold our breaths. I adored when she thought often about a young street girl, whom she encouraged, and her anxiety for the boy who was severely beaten. The majority of all, I cherished seeing such countless characters from the Kate Daniels world, particularly Conlan, who is close to his sister, and was enjoyable to see him. Obviously, both actually visit their granddad, and keep on learning a greater amount of the universe of Shinar. Blood Heir was a stunning experience that acquaints us with the Princess of Shinar, who has completely changed over the 8 years she has been gone. Having an incredible mother like Kate, permitted her to push ahead and find her actual self, being prepared by her grandma, who after all, was the Plague Maker, in addition to other things. I adored the new Julie. I anticipate reading the following book in this series, as Blood Heir was thoroughly amazing. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/gobookmart-review/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/gobookmart-review/support

In this episode Philippa comes clean about what she had planned for the podcast and her change of mind. She reviews 4 books: "The Fallout" by Rebecca Thornton, "Magpie Lane" by Lucy Atkins, "Logging Off" by Nick Spalding and "Blood Heir" by Amelie Wen Zhao. 

The Narrative Wars returneth....  You may have never heard of Amelie Wen Zhao (or maybe you have?) but just in case you did or didn't, this episode was catalyzed by a recent ordeal involving the up-and-coming YA fiction writer. Ms. Zhao was the subject of some harsh criticism for her new book, Blood Heir, which hadn't even hit the shelves yet. Her book, as described by her earliest of critics, was said to be "racially insensitive" and was encouraged to the point of not releasing her book. Here's the catch though: many of her detractors had not even read the book. Apparently hearsay and a few buzzwords had caused many to take to the social media to block the Blood Heir release. Much talk and discussion over Zhao's ordeal followed.  Yet after the social media mob settled, she decided to move forward with her book anyway and not give in to earlier pressures to not publish it. Her book was published mid-November 2019.  This episode is an attempt to talk through artistic expression and how creatives can face a lot of external pressure - even before their idea is off the ground.  Hope you enjoy. 

Show notes: In this episode I interview Amélie Wen Zhao, author of Blood Heir, which will publish November 19th in the US and November 21st in the UK. Amélie (yes, like the movie!) has adored putting pen to paper since she was in kindergarten. Born in Paris and raised in a multicultural community in Beijing, Amélie has a bone-deep love for traveling and immersing herself in new worlds and cultures. She lives in New York City, working as a full-time financial professional by day, and writer at night.She hopes to empower young readers with messages of acceptance, strength, and courage through her works, and to continue to push the boundaries of young adult literature by exploring new, cross-cultural themes.Amélie is represented by Peter Knapp of Park Literary & Media.In the Cyrilian Empire, Affinites are reviled. Their varied gifts to control the world around them are unnatural—dangerous. And Anastacya Mikhailov, the crown princess, has a terrifying secret. Her deadly Affinity to blood is her curse and the reason she has lived her life hidden behind palace walls.When Ana's father, the emperor, is murdered, her world is shattered. Framed as his killer, Ana must flee the palace to save her life. And to clear her name, she must find her father's murderer on her own. But the Cyrilia beyond the palace walls is far different from the one she thought she knew. Corruption rules the land, and a greater conspiracy is at work—one that threatens the very balance of her world. And there is only one person corrupt enough to help Ana get to its core: Ramson Quicktongue.A cunning crime lord of the Cyrilian underworld, Ramson has sinister plans—though he might have met his match in Ana. Because in this story, the princess might be the most dangerous player of all.We start by talking about her publication journey, from querying to getting an agent to getting a book dealHer process to getting Blood Heir published was 5 years in the making We spoke about how she likes to make sure she takes her time with perfecting her work before doing something as big as querying “Taking my time to make sure I had it to the best place…before I took my shot.” - Amelie “I've always believed in working hard. But I also think that working smart is really important to me.” - Amelie Amelie talks about getting agent who is going to be your biggest champion She discusses her inspiration for writing her debut “I fell in love with the idea of reversing the trope of a princess. I wanted her to be the most dangerous player in this game. I wanted to make a book where the princess was the monster.” - Amelie She spoke about the trans pacific slave-trade and how her inspiration also stems from the history of her fiance's family “We all know that the victors and the powerful write history.” - Amelie We talk about which of her characters she'd take to dinnerWe also talk about which writers dead or alive she'd take to dinnerTwitter: @AmelieWenZhaoInstagram: @AmelieWenZhaoWebsite: AmelieZhao.com

To kick off SEASON 3, Francina Simone and I talk about cancel culture in the book community, and the way it harms the people it claims to protect. This conversation is much longer than regular episodes, because the subject matter called for a lot of complexity and nuance, and we wanted to get that right. Please don't let the length stop you from listening. I believe this topic is very important, and it's something we need to talk about more in the book community. If you agree or disagree with what Francina and I had to say, I'd love to hear your thoughts! Tweet to me at @Brianna_daSilva or @FemalesInFantasy, or send me a note at femalesinfantasy@gmail.com. Let's keep the conversation going. --- To dive deeper into the topic of book controversies, censorship, and online toxicity, here are some great videos from Francina's channel I recommend!

In the second episode of I Talk Shit & Read, I spent some time with  L.L. McKinney (aka Elle) about her debut novel A Blade So Black.  Guest: L. L. McKinney Because the Twitterverse has no chill, we started off discussing an online controversy surrounding a YA novel, Blood Heir, the author eventually decided to pull in order to address racially problematic elements in the writing. (I wanted to hyperlink to an article about the issue but damned if I'll promote clicks to skewed hot-takes that just want to bash anyone who vocally took issue with the novel or the marketing direction. I asked about Elle focused on pointing to the initial marketing "blurb" labeling the story "color-blind" and how that in-and-of-itself is problematic, in publishing and in life.  Our conversation took off from there. Elle went on to share how exploring fear, its physical effects, and a concept of accountability influenced the creation of "Wonderland." How race is processed by readers (and writers) and how it matters beyond being a buzz word even in fantasy.  Our discussion touched on other real-life elements that impact her writing and how that helped this world evolve. We talked about what she hopes to see in the coming television adaptation from Lionsgate. And because I have no sense, the conversation went left on more than one occasion. Thankfully, Elle was happily on board; probably because she knows she's gonna kill a character I like somewhere along the way... A Blade So Black: After barely escaping an attack with her life, Alice agrees to be trained to fight Nightmares invading her world. But to do so, she'll have to juggle a protective mother, school, friends, and her secret job as a slayer.  Set in an alternate Atalanta and a Wonderland reimagined, A Blade So Black is the tale of a young girl coming of age carrying a burden she'd like nothing better than to put down driven to sacrifice in order to save the world knowing she'll have to live with the consequences. If you like your friends snarky and jokes relatable and your heroes to carry swords, A Blade So Black may be the trip down the rabbit hole for you. This is not your typical fairy tale but it looks to have the makings of one helluva adventure. Plus, the second installment, A Dream So Dark hit shelves on September 24, 2019.               Like what you hear?

TAP and the gang discuss the criticism of a work of fiction by an angry Twitter mob.

This week, Amelie Wen Zhao had to self-cancel (or self-delay) her upcoming novel Blood Heir due to backlash on YA Twitter about all sorts of things, ranging from allegations of racist scenes to her own vindictiveness towards anyone who left her bad reviews. This isn't the first time such things have happened in the YA world. Now, both the social justice and anti-SJW forces are using Zhao to advance their agendas. Jess, Diana, Oxford, and Mark discuss why the moral stakes seem so high in the YA sphere and how an Asian woman is forced to navigate it.
