Prophecy Radio episode #105 discusses Fox Snare by Yoon Ha Lee, the final book in the Thousand Worlds series! We also break down the latest Riordanverse news, including updates on Survivor season 45, the SAG-AFTRA strike, and those STUNNING new covers for the Percy Jackson and the Olympians series exclusively found at Illumicrate. New episodes of Prophecy Radio air weekly, and we keep our discussions PG-13. News and Updates (00:02:37) Khadijah Khatib shared her paintings for Chalice of the Gods and the first three Percy Jackson and the Olmypians covers. A Drop of Venom by Sajni Patel got a starred review from Publishers Weekly. Read Riordan has an exclusive excerpt of Fox Snare, as well as a spotlight on Captain Chaewon. You can also meet Eréndira from Dawn of the Jaguar. Becky talked about the differences in the Chalice of the Gods special editions. Did you see the gorgeous Illumicrate editions of Percy Jackson and the Olympians? Kristen updates us on J. Maya's progress on Survivor season 45. Let's hope she doesn't have a target on her back! SAG-AFTRA is going back to the negotiating table on Tuesday, October 24. Here's to hoping we'll have good news next week! Fox Snare by Yoon Ha Lee (00:24:13) We can't believe the Thousand Worlds series has come to a close! What is Fox Snare about? What did we think of this book, and how did it compare to the others? We talk about the various themes we found throughout this book. Min matured so much throughout these books, and it was so great to see her again in this one! Not everyone is happy that she's the bearer of the Dragon Pearl. Jun very much acts as Min's conscience. More on Silhouette later… We wish there had been more information about Sebin's family. The dynamic between Haneul and the others is super interesting and leads to some good conversation. There's also a lot of political intrigue within the pages of this book, but it's done so subtly that it doesn't overtake the story. The Haetae shows up in this book, too, but in a totally different form! It's SO important to remember how young all these characters are! Miho is an interesting character that we'll have to talk more about in the spoiler section. Speaking of, the spoiler section starts at 46:07. We loved all the descriptions of the food that Min was unfamiliar with! Did you realize who the Sun Clans represent? It was interesting to read about the intricacies of the language and culture even though we're reading this in English. We really liked Ambassador Tanaka! And we were so sad to hear about what happened to Silhouette. What was her real name!? The Dragon Pearl will make the best tangerines you've ever had in your life. Did we trust Miho at all over the course of this story?? How did she have control over those creatures on the planet? We're so mad at her for making Haneul sick. And also for blowing up the space station. THE WINK WAS SO GOOD. So…Miho is, like, really old. We really loved how Yoon wrapped up the part of the story with the ghosts. In fact, we loved the end of this book as a whole. We have so many ideas for the future of this series if Yoon Ha Lee decides to write more. Feedback (01:12:38) Anthony writes in to tell us how he got into Percy Jackson and discovered the podcast. Thank you for your kind words! Thanks for listening, and tune in next time for episode 106, in which we'll discuss Chalice of the Gods chapters 9-11! This episode's hosts are: Karen Rought and Kristen Kranz.

This is Play It Forward. Real people. Real stories. The struggle to Play It Forward Episode 407 with Yoon Ha Lee creator of the book Tiger Honor. Sci-Fi novelist Yoon Ha Lee spins a tale from the point of view of a nonbinary tiger spirit for his loyal middle grade fantasy fans. Sebin, a young tiger spirit from the Juhwang Clan, wants nothing more than to join the Thousand World Space Forces and, like their Uncle Hwan, captain a battle cruiser someday. But when Sebin's acceptance letter finally arrives, it's accompanied by the shocking news that Hwan has been declared a traitor. Apparently, the captain abandoned his duty to steal a magical artifact, the Dragon Pearl, and his whereabouts are still unknown. Sebin hopes to help clear their hero's name and restore honor to the clan.

Welcome to Prophecy Radio, a Percy Jackson podcast dedicated to all of Rick Riordan's past, present, and future projects! Co-hosts Karen Rought and Kristen Kranz discuss the latest news in the Percy Jackson/Rick Riordan Presents fandom, then jump into Tiger Honor, the sequel to Yoon Ha Lee's first book the in Thousand Worlds series, Dragon Pearl, as well as analyze chapters 9 and 10 of Percy Jackson and the Sea of Monsters. New episodes of Prophecy Radio will air weekly, and all ages are welcome to tune in. News and Updates (00:00:53) Karen owns up to her mistakes. Happy birthday, Daniel José Older! Go pre-order Ballad and Dagger. J.C. Cervantes has seen the final cover for The Lords of Night. Rick posted a blog on January 22. First and foremost, go pre-order Aru Shah and the Nectar of Immortality, which comes out on April 5! Pre-ordering books really helps authors (and it might help us, too)! City of the Plague God is now in paperback. Rick recommends The Marvellers by Dhonielle Clayton and The Door of No Return by Kwame Alexander. Karen is also throwing Shattered Midnight into the ring, as it's also by Dhonielle Clayton. We get another lovely Solangelo book update! Also, Kristen totally gets how awesome and interesting LEGOs can be. Be sure to enter our Tiger Honor giveaway! Tiger Honor by Yoon Ha Lee (00:20:59) Read Karen's Tiger Honor book review. What are our general thoughts on Tiger Honor compared to Dragon Pearl? Sebin is a very different main character from Min. Did we like them? Are YOU a rule follower, or do you like to cause trouble like Min? A huge theme of this book is duty and loyalty, both to family and the Space Forces. The Juhwang tiger clan is intense. Like, really intense. Did we like anyone from the tiger clan?? It was nice to see Min and Jun again! Let's meet the new side characters. Which were our favorites? Okay, it's time to talk about Captain Hwan. Have our thoughts changed on him since we last saw him in Dragon Pearl? He's brought in some reinforcements. How did YOU picture Shield, Sena's sapsali? Is there room for more books in the Thousand World series? Chapter Reviews (01:00:15) It's time to talk about Sea of Monsters chapter 9. Okay, is it cool or creepy that Tyson can imitate voices? Do we think Thalia would've been on Luke's side? We totally see where Luke is coming from, but he's going about it the wrong way. Who are Luke's friends at Camp Half-Blood? Is Luke angrier at his dad or at the other gods? We kind of feel bad for Hermes! Tyson is the true MVP. Are you ready for chapter 10? Thank the gods (or one god in particular) for that thermos! But there's a bigger question here—how exactly do Iris messages work? You'll never have to be afraid if you're lost at sea with Percy Jackson! It makes a lot of sense that chain stores are evil. We get a little confused, but Percy has definitely never seen a hydra before. At least book Percy is smarter than movie Percy. Thank goodness for…Clarisse? We love that Percy recognized his own jealousy. You can take the demigod out of the city, but you can't take the city out of the demigod. Who doesn't love a good Monster Donut? Thanks for listening, and be sure to tune in next time for episode 17, where we'll discuss “The Diary of Luke Castellan” from The Demigod Diaries. This episode's hosts are: Karen Rought and Kristen Kranz. Each episode, our Prophecy Radio hosts and their guests will keep you up to date on the latest information coming out of Camp Half-Blood, including upcoming books and adaptation news, discuss a topic of choice, and do a chapter by chapter reread of the Percy Jackson series.

Welcome to Prophecy Radio, a Percy Jackson podcast dedicated to all of Rick Riordan's past, present, and future projects! Co-hosts Karen Rought and Kristen Kranz discuss the latest news in the Percy Jackson/Rick Riordan Presents fandom, then jump into the Dragon Pearl and the short story “The Initiation” by Yoon Ha Lee, as well as analyze chapters 7 and 8 of Percy Jackson and the Sea of Monsters. New episodes of Prophecy Radio will air weekly, and all ages are welcome to tune in. News and Updates (00:02:12) Here's to another socially distanced episode! Happy birthday, Magnus Chase! Becky says they're working on stuff! Wouldn't some official artwork from PJOTV be awesome? Karen was trying to be realistic, but Kristen just wants a greenlight. You can pre-order Reclaim the Stars right now! (CORRECTION: Karen was reading the list of RRP authors from A Universe of Wishes. The correct ones for Reclaim the Stars include J.C. Cervantes, Mark Oshiro, and Daniel José Older.) Karen will be doing a full review on Subjectify Media. Dragon Pearl by Yoon Ha Lee (00:04:47) It was really nice to read Dragon Pearl and Tiger Honor back to back. Kristen mostly listened to Dragon Pearl on audiobook (narrated by Kim Mai Guest). Karen and Kristen had opposite problems when it came to name pronunciations! But pronunciation guides are a life saver and we love them. We have flashbacks to the Hermione debacle. This will be mostly spoiler-free until the end! Karen first fell in love with the idea of fox spirits thanks to Teen Wolf. Sci-fi meets folk lore/mythology is a really unique take. Kristen doesn't read a lot of sci-fi, though she does enjoy the genre in film. Dragon Pearl felt a little more like YA to us than MG, but in a good way! Middle grade is NOT a dumbed down version of young adult fiction. Fox spirits have some awesome abilities. It's really gotta come in handy! There are a lot of logistics when it comes to shapeshifting. (This is where we should've said, DON'T QUESTION THE SCIENCE.) Min is a troublemaker, but that's why we love her. The Space Forces is a little like the Federation in Star Trek, and it's amazing Min was able to sneak her way into the ranks! It's a pretty big deal that it seems like Jun defected, and that's why she wants to get to the bottom of what's going on. Dragon Pearl and Daughter of the Deep had some similar vibes. *sings “Into the Unknown”* Poor Jang barely enjoyed his time in space. But let's talk about spirits and how they interact with the world around them. There's a lot of suspense and tension in this book, not least because Min is pretending to be another person! Min asks permission to take over Jang's identity, and we really loved that. Let's meet Sujin and Haneul! They're pretty cool. Who wouldn't want a magical spork that can summon snacks? It would be really cool to be a dragon spirit. Kristen is really down with the idea of being able to control the weather. Captain Hwan was a scary guy … or was he!? For the record, he does NOT have a tiger head (except in Karen's imagination). We take a Kung Fu Panda break. This book was very queer friendly and we are HERE for it. The commonality of using pronouns in every day life was refreshing. It doesn't make sense to have the entire universe at your fingertips and have everyone be straight. This book is SUCH a good introduction to LGBTQIA+ concepts for kids. Are foxes born non-binary? SPOILERS ARE INCOMING. You can skip to the chapter reviews section. Did we guess that Captain Hwan was the one behind everything? It may or may not have crossed our minds that Jun was evil BUT ONLY FOR A SECOND. Justice for Jun! The fact that Jun is sticking around made up for his death! At least Min and Jun can be together now. Together…FOREVER. It's gonna get awkward. Their relationship is super strong and we love it. And that's a great segue into the Cursed Carnival and Other Calamities short story “The Initiation” by Yoon Ha Lee. Min has a complex background, but her intelligence and resourcefulness is unparalleled. Let's meet some new characters! Which ones were our favorites? Those initial tests are NO JOKE. We dive a little more deeply into the prejudice against foxes and ghosts. Yeah, we would DEFINITELY read more about this group of characters. Chapter Reviews (00:58:53) Let's get into Sea of Monsters chapter 7! This chapter was necessary to get from point A to point B, but it was still interesting! We're glad Annabeth and Percy now have a common enemy. And a problem to solve! We should probably talk about Tantalus. …It does kind of make sense to give Clarisse the quest. Tantalus' story is VERY scary. And now his punishment makes so much more sense. We love how Coke calms Percy's brain down. How do these kids get their gold drachmas? What's the exchange rate? We've been playing too many video games. Hermes is surprisingly approachable. That Eris reference was EPIC. Thank you, Hermes, for the internet. Flinstone vitamins FTW. We love a good itemized packing scene. Ancient History is kind of Ancient History for the demigods, too. Kristen can't just pick a single line. Now it's time for chapter 8! The hippocampi are SO COOL. And Tyson's affection for them is adorable. We try to wrap our heads around Tyson's timeline, but we need more information. Rainbow can't climb ladders. :( Let's talk about Grover. Prophecy Count: 8! It's very important to have a timeline. This chapter was short but leaves on a huge cliffhanger! Karen ain't afraid of no hellhound! It's really cool that Perseus got a happy ending. Percy didn't want to be rude to his dad. Stick around to hear the awesome feedback we got this week! Thanks for listening, and be sure to tune in next time for episode 16, where we'll discuss Tiger Honor by Yoon Ha Lee. This episode's hosts are: Karen Rought and Kristen Kranz.

Many people who were getting their work rejected starting as a kid would get discouraged. Doubt would start to creep into their mind and they'd wonder if they'll ever be good enough. Add in moving several times and not being sure where you fit in, having a full time job, and general life complications and it's easy to give up. But Yoon Ha Lee overcome all of those things to become a successful writer and create worlds that bring in readers of all ages. Adam and Naresh talk about these things with Yoon Ha Lee, New York Times bestselling author of the Machineries of Empire space opera novels, including Dragon Pearl and Ninefox Gambit and the new book Tiger Honor.

Welcome to Prophecy Radio, a Percy Jackson podcast dedicated to all of Rick Riordan's past, present, and future projects! Co-hosts Karen Rought and Kristen Kranz discuss the latest news in the Percy Jackson/Rick Riordan Presents fandom, then list out all the companion books, short stories, and illustrated editions we have so far, as well as analyze chapters 5 and 6 of Percy Jackson and the Sea of Monsters. New episodes of Prophecy Radio will air weekly, and all ages are welcome to tune in. News and Updates (00:01:15) Karen and Kristen are throwing responsibility out the window forever! Aru Shah and the End of Time graphic novel debuted at #1 on Amazon! Daughter of the Deep jumped to #1 on the NYT bestsellers list. Sarwat Chadda is working on the next draft of Rise of the Chaos Goddess. We get a fantastic update about the Solangelo book. We're really excited to check in with other characters too. Kristen and Karen think they're hilarious. The Percy Jackson Disney+ show's writers room is back at it again! Serwa Boateng's Guide to Vampire Hunting sounds great. We take a quick moment to shout out In Every Generation by Kendare Blake. Companion books, short stories, illustrated editions, oh my! (00:07:43) The Demigod Files includes three short stories, all of which sound great! We've read most of these, but it's been a while, so we don't remember them as well as we'd like. But Clarisse and Percy together is bound to be a lot of fun. (Part 1, Part 2, Part 3) Oh, hey there, Charles Beckendorf! We get a wild Festus sighting, and we're so happy. How much did the Lightning Thief movie pull from “Sword of Hades” for Persephone's character? Don't forget, you can check these out at your local library! The Ultimate Guide is so much fun and a great collector's item. It's also very practical and incredibly useful! There is a cursed picture of Karen dressed as a daughter of Hephaestus for Halloween. We go off on a Beanie Baby tangent. “Percy Jackson and the Singer Apollo” is full of chaos, and we love it. Percy Jackson and the Greek Gods and Greek Heroes are SO PRETTY. Who HASN'T read Percy Jackson? Camp Half-Blood Confidential is another good pocket guide to keep on hand. Plus, there's the coloring book, with art by Keith Robinson. We only have the Lightning Thief illustrated edition and it's a TRAVESTY. John Rocco says there are no current plans to do more. Nobody would complain about more John Rocco art. Not to get ahead of ourselves, but we need a Percy Jackson Land at Disney World. We might have to do a whole episode on that idea. Let's dive into the Heroes of Olympus series now! We kick off with The Demigod Diaries, and “The Diary of Luke Castellan.” We'll be talking about this one in-depth soon! Hera is always messing things up. Ever heard of the bacchanalia? “The Son of Magic” was written by Rick's son! It's a fan-favorite. The Demigods of Olympus app might be long-gone. Time for the Kane Chronicles books! The Survival Guide is another awesome book to have on hand. Justice for Magnus Chase! Kristen will have to read the Kane Chronicles soon! The crossover short stories were a VERY BIG DEAL back in the day. But where's our crossover SERIES? Where's the Riordan Literary Universe (RLU)? And then Karen brings us all down. MOVING ON. We love Magnus Chase so much, and luckily there are some great guides for it. Einherjar is a very difficult word to say. There's always time for new books down the line! Did we…do a good job!? Let's talk graphic novels and why WE NEED MORE. Shhh, we're not allowed to have other interests! Chapter Reviews (00:38:13) Let's talk about Sea of Monsters chapter 5! Karen's living for Kristen's recaps. Everyone knows that feeling when your mom cleans your room against your will. Camp Half-Blood isn't a safe space anymore. Goodbye FOR NOW. Despite being “immortal,” it's so interesting how gods must rely on mortal worship to keep them going. We are not fans of Tantalus. Is Mr. D trying to comfort Tantalus, or is he giving him false hope? Can everyone please stop being mean to Tyson!? Are the other campers jealous of Tyson? We shouldn't be so cavalier about death. We are very happy to meet Charles Beckendorf again. We go on a Sponge-Bob tangent but Karen had to prove she has a brain. Time for chapter 6! BRAIN WORKS. Karen is very mad at Percy. BUT this is a good lesson for kids to learn. Karen was the annoying little brother. Lowercase pegasus versus capital letter Pegasus. Team Percabeth breaks up very quickly. Tyson gets a stick! Karen does not want to talk about the birdnado. Rick did Dean Martin dirty. Prophecy Count: 7 A lot has already happened in these first six chapters. We were feeling a lot of emotions today. And we have some feedback to go through! Thanks for listening, and be sure to tune in next time for episode 15, in which we'll discuss Dragon Pearl by Yoon Ha Lee and “The Initiative” from Cursed Carnival and Other Calamities. This episode's hosts are: Karen Rought and Kristen Kranz.

Welcome to Prophecy Radio, a Percy Jackson podcast dedicated to all of Rick Riordan's past, present, and future projects! Co-hosts Karen Rought and Kristen Kranz talk about what's new in the Percy Jackson fandom, discuss all the books the Rick Riordan Presents authors have written outside of the Disney imprint, and analyze chapters 13 and 14 of Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief. New episodes of Prophecy Radio will air weekly, and all ages are welcome to tune in. News and Updates (00:01:07) This might be the longest doc we've had so far. First and foremost, we have news from Rick's blog! There's no current plan for a Daughter of the Deep sequel, but never say never! The Lords of Night: A Shadow Bruja Novel and Serwa Boateng's Guide of Vampire Hunting have official release dates and synopses. We have an official update on where in the process the Nico di Angelo book currently is. The book is at 117,000 words. How many pages is that? We're probably not getting anymore Percy Jackson television show news until 2022. That includes no news for Disney+ Day. BUT we know Becky and Rick have reviewed some casting callback tapes. Read Riordan has spotlights on Nelinha, Ester, and Gemini. The Last Fallen Star is officially in New Zealand! You can sing to the karaoke version of The Lightning Thief Musical! (Edit: Apparently this is from 2019, and we had no idea!) “Forget Horse Girls, Embrace the Mythology Freak” by Jenny G. Zhang (here's the tweet) Sorry, Frank. Why did we like mythology so much, and what do all the mythology freaks have in common? (Say hi to Callie!) Rick Riordan Presents authors' other series (00:18:47) We're really excited about all the books, novellas, anthologies, and short stories these authors have written. But fair warning: There are A LOT. Anthologies have really made a resurgence lately, and we're into it. Up first is Roshani Chokshi, who wrote the Pandava Quintet/Aru Shah books! She's got some other stories here about Hindu mythology that might be for older audiences. And one of her books definitely gives Six of Crows vibes, if you're into that! Next up is J.C. Cervantes! Look, sometimes words are hard. Karen just wants to keep Kristen on her toes. Yoon Ha Lee, who wrote Dragon Pearl, is a very prolific writer. There's a lot of sci-fi here, and some really cool concepts. Kristen gets her mind blown, repeatedly. Festus, is that you? Thank the gods for Wikipedia. Next on our happy hit parade is Carlos Hernandez, who wrote Sal & Gabi. Karen learned a fun fact about him, and she is very excited. Short stories can get W E I R D. Kwame Mbalia wrote the Tristan Strong series, as well as some other cool books. Black Boy Joy seems like a really important book to have right now. You might as well just assume almost everyone has written short stories. Tehlor Kay Mejia wrote the Paola Santiago series, and she's up next. She's got some great titles. If you liked Dumplin', then you might like Miss Meteor. Forests are so cool and creepy. Karen gets a book idea in the middle of recording. Graci Kim wrote the Gifted Clan series, and Karen has a quick aside about the last book in the series. She hasn't written any other books, but we have some fun facts to share about her! Who knew running away to the circus was so common? Rebecca Roanhorse wrote Race to the Sun, and a lot more!. You should watch Love and Monsters. And then go read Roar by Cora Carmack. We love a good title. And a good name. How do we feel about historical fiction? Here's LeVar Burton reading “Wherein Abigail…,” “Takeback Tango,” and “Welcome to Your Authentic Indian Experience ™.” Sarwat Chadda wrote City of the Plague God, as well as some other interesting books! Have you seen A Little Princess? Shoutout to Animorphs! More short stories! More anthologies! Next up is Lori M. Lee, who wrote Pahua and the Soul Stealer. She's a busy lady, but she does plan to finish her Gates of Thread and Stone series. See? Forests are creepy! Yeah, you should definitely read A Thousand Beginnings and Endings. Roseanne A. Brown wrote Serwa Boateng's Guide to Vampire Hunting, which we are very excited about. She also just finished up her duology in her A Song of Wraiths and Ruin series. They have some incredibly stunning covers. It's so cool that so many of these authors have written for Marvel and Star Wars, too. Daniel José Older wrote Ballad & Dagger, which definitely has some shared threads with one of his other series. If you're looking for an adult series, look no further than Bone Street Rumba! Daniel has written *all* kinds of books. Well-behaved spirits are super lame. Who else loves Waterworld?? Stacey Lee will be writing Winston Chu Versus the Whimsies, and Karen's definitely heard of her books before. Bridgerton might be a little spicy for our younger listeners. Historical fiction about non-white stories are always interesting reads. Everyone is running away to the circus! Karen brings the whole podcast down. Lastly, we've got Tracey Baptiste, who will be writing Moko Magic. Lots of jumbies here! Let's throw in some Minecraft, shall we? More jumbies! Plus, some non-fiction! We did it! We made it! We hope you found your next read. If you've read any of these, let us know which ones we should start with! Chapter Reviews (01:19:21) Let's talk about The Lightning Thief chapters 13 and 14. Grover sleeps a lot. Thank the gods for Annabeth. That chimera? No, thank you. Ohio reference! Karen breaks Kristen. It's always interesting when the female goddesses give birth to the demigods. Annabeth's childhood sounds rough, and it's so sad. But we can't wait to see her relationship with her father improve. Percy doesn't want to be enemies! What, exactly, is Poseidon's domain? Prophecy Count: 4 Percy can see through the Mist a lot better now. The dark is very scary. Percy really needed to take this moment to reflect on everything that's happening to him. Who was the woman in the water? How did that lady see through the Mist? But, seriously, how exactly does the Mist work? How has Percy never noticed he can breathe underwater? Thanks for listening, and be sure to tune in next week for episode 8, which will discuss some Daughter of the Deep spoilers. This episode's hosts are: Karen Rought and Kristen Kranz.

Welcome to Prophecy Radio, a Percy Jackson podcast dedicated to all of Rick Riordan's past, present, and future projects! Co-hosts Karen Rought and Kristen Kranz do a take two on this episode, updating you on the latest news (including that big Nico di Angelo reveal), discuss Rick Riordan Presents and all the amazing series and authors that go along with it, and analyze chapters five and six of Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief. New episodes of Prophecy Radio will air weekly, and all ages are welcome to tune in. News and Updates Karen sort of maybe kind of possibly lost the first version of this episode. The Tristan Strong Keeps Punching paperback is available now! BE WARNED: Due to COVID-related printing delays, you'll want to order your books for the holidays ASAP. Daughter of the Deep‘s U.S. release date is Oct. 26. Please don't share any spoilers! Subjectify will have a spoiler-free review up on that date. Have you met King Cotton yet? All the Cursed Carnival authors are now all NYT bestsellers! We attended the Daughter of the Deep virtual event. Have YOU read Mysterious Island? Robert Ballard is SO. COOL. And definitely a son of Poseidon Octopuses are a little creepy. Cool. But creepy. Daughter of the Deep has been optioned for a Disney+ feature film! *Insert firework sounds* We'll probably get more background information from the Percy Jackson show than we got from the books. We're gonna keep talking about Teen Wolf. Sorry not sorry. We're still trying to be patient about casting. The Percy Jackson world lends itself to animation, and we stand by that. But The Kane Chronicles is definitely a live-action film. Yes, we heard about the Nico di Angelo news. We know a little bit about the process behind this co-writing venture. Mark Oshiro seems super cool. The year 2023 is going to be JAM-PACKED. Rick is working on something related to Irish mythology, but we don't have much information yet. Rick Riordan Presents Did you notice Karen got a new mic!? Rick Riordan Presents is a beast of an imprint, and we love it so much. #NotAPhase Let's jump into the books from this imprint that Karen HAS read. The Pandava Quintet by Roshani Chokshi is definitely a favorite. Have you listened to Prophecy Radio episode 2, where we talk about Cursed Carnival? Paola Santiago gets to explore such a spooky and cool world. Beware cliffhangers! Graci Kim is cool and she loves food and Karen loves food and you should read The Last Fallen Star. Witches! Magic! Baked goods! Dragon Pearl is getting a sequel! Karen got an ARC of Tiger Honor and did a little dance. Kristen explains what the heck an ARC is. We have a soft spot for fox spirits. Karen has read The Storm Runner and totally meant to keep reading the series, but life got in the way. This series is also getting a spinoff duology! Zane's destiny is kind of a buzzkill. It pains Karen every. single. day. that she hasn't finished the Sal and Gabi series. Sometimes staying up to date on all these books is hard. P.S. Let us know how you want us to handle talking about the individual series in the future! Tristan Strong by Kwame Mbalia has super powerful titles and awesome covers! Long live Gum Baby! Rebecca Roanhorse's standalone Race to the Sun might be a good one to start with. It discusses some really topical issues and would be important for kids to read. We're obsessed with the title of Rise of the Chaos Goddess. Sarwat Chadda seems like a hilarious guy. Which one will Kristen read first!? The premise for Pahua and the Soul Stealer sounds so cool. Kristen has heard of the Hmong people before thanks to the Olympics! Foreshadowing: We mention our cat. Please make Karen's dreams come true. Let's talk about the RRP books that aren't out yet! In Serwa Boatang's Guide to Vampire Hunting, pronunciation of Serwa's name is literally a plot point. Not the fireflies! It's giving us very much Teen Wolf vibes. Very much Buffy. Daniel Jose Older sounds like he's lived such an interesting life. Finally a young adult novel!! *whispers diabolically* Enemies to lovers! We just want magic to be real. The Whimsies sounds so fun and mischievous. So many of these books are set in NYC. Don't forget the Moko Magic! Chapter Reviews This week we're discussing chapters 5 and 6 of The Lightning Thief. Karen was not expecting to have so many feelings about Mr. D. The nectar sounds amazing and terrible at the same time. Chapter 5 blows this whole world wide open. More Annabeth, please! Percy is so dramatic sometimes. Kristen is getting Big Brother vibes from chapter 6. Finally, Camp Half-Blood in the flesh. Who DOESN'T like to show off in the bathroom once in a while? Chiron is giving us Dumbledore vibes, and we don't love it. Did Chiron know Percy was Poseidon's son? We now know Grover's official age! Percy has so much left to learn. A surprise visitor drops by! Technically, Chiron didn't lie about the attic. Karen loves the explanation of monster archetypes. We got our first listener feedback! Thanks for listening, and be sure to tune in next week for episode 4, which will include a spoiler-free review of Daughter of the Deep in more detail. This episode's hosts are: Karen Rought and Kristen Kranz. Each episode, our Prophecy Radio hosts and their guests will keep you up to date on the latest information coming out of Camp Half-Blood, including upcoming books and adaptation news, discuss a topic of choice, and do a chapter by chapter reread of the Percy Jackson series.

Angela und Heike sprechen über den koreanisch-amerikanischen Autoren Yoon Ha Lee und seinen Jugendroman "Dragon Pearl", in dem er Elemente aus der koreanischen Mythologie in eine Space Opera einwebt. Warum die "Dragon Pearl" kein McGuffin ist, ein deutscher Verlag das Buch dringend übersetzen und auflegen sollte und was Rick Riordan in unseren Augen sehr richtig macht, erfahrt ihr im Tropenhaus.

In part nine of this series, I read "Princess Parizade", "The Legend of Hinemoa and Tutanekai", "The Woman Who Was Kind to Insects", & "The Boy and the Dragon Pearl" from the book Beneath the Moon by Yoshi Yoshitani (no pronouns). Beneath the Moon is a collection of fairy tales, myths, and divine stories from around the world that Yoshi has also represented in Yoshi's tarot deck Tarot of the Divine. As I read each story I will connect them to the tarot card they represent. I love the Tarot of the Divine deck and all the culture it shows and I immediately wanted the book the moment I knew it existed. Hopefully, you enjoy hearing these stories as much as I love reading them! --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/spiritualintellect/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/spiritualintellect/support

Enjoy our presentation of Dragon Pearl by Yoon Ha Lee. Thirteen-year-old Min comes from a long line of fox spirits. But you'd never know it by looking at her. To keep the family safe, Min's mother insists that none of them use any fox-magic; they must appear human at all times. Min feels hemmed in by the household rules and resents the cousins who crowd her, and the aunties who judge her. She would like nothing more than to escape Jinju, her neglected, dust-ridden, and impoverished planet. She's counting the days until she can follow her older brother, Jun, into the Space Forces and see more of the Thousand Worlds. But when word arrives that Jun is suspected of leaving his post to go in search of the Dragon Pearl, Min knows that something is wrong. Jun would never desert his battle cruiser, so Min decides to find him and clear his name.Dragon Pearl is recommended for readers age 8 and up.

Travis interviews author Yoon Ha Lee about Phoenix Extravagant, his latest novel from Solaris Books. This standalone story follows a nonbinary painter as they team up with a pacifist mecha dragon against an evil empire, and it takes place in a magical version of Korea during the Japanese occupation. Yoon and Travis discuss Yoon's experience with watercolor and animation, the important role of art in culture, and how colonization seeks to undermine and destroy that role. About Yoon Ha Lee: A Korean-American sf/f writer who received a B.A. in math from Cornell University and an M.A. in math education from Stanford University, Yoon finds it a source of continual delight that math can be mined for story ideas. Yoon's novel Ninefox Gambit won the Locus Award for best first novel, and was a finalist for the Hugo, Nebula, and Clarke awards; its sequels, Raven Stratagem and Revenant Gun, were also Hugo finalists. His middle grade space opera Dragon Pearl won the Locus Award for best YA novel and was a New York Times bestseller. Yoon's short fiction has appeared in publications such as F&SF, Tor.com, and Clarkesworld Magazine, as well as several year's best anthologies.

Amanda and Jenn discuss summery reads, dance stories, essay collections, and more in this week’s episode of Get Booked. This episode is sponsored by Book Riot Insiders, the digital hangout spot for the Book Riot community, Harper Perennial and Twisted by Emma Dabiri, and Humanity’s Gauntlet: The Archons Rise by Brian A. Sieteski, June 17th 2020. Subscribe to the podcast via RSS, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or Stitcher. Feedback The Fate of Stars by SD Simper, The Mermaid, the Witch, and the Sea by Maggie Tokuda-Hall and A Fish Out of Water by Karin Kallmaker (rec’d by Wynnde) Taste by Kris Bryant (rec’d by Wynnde) Ann McMann’s Dust, Jericho, and Beowulf for Cretins (rec’d by Wynnde) Questions: 1. I love to read books with a seasonal feel (cold and snowy in the Winter, spooky in Fall, etc.). I would love a book for summer that feels sunny and hot, but, the problem is, all of my favorite books are dark or gothic. My favorite genres are fantasy, mystery, and gothic but I am also open to lit fic and non-fiction. My favorite books of all time are The Diviners series by Libba Bray, Lonesome Dove, The Thirteenth Tale, Rebecca, The Night Circus, anything Tana French, The Queen of the Night, and The Secret History. -Danielle 2. Hi! I’ve sent in before but this isn’t a recommendation for me. My brother is a teenager but is only now just starting to get into reading (which I’ve been trying to do for years). He enjoys anything action packed, historical, logical, and or science fiction. As long as the book is exciting to keep him engaged and not too long. He’s 16 and grew up on Percy Jackson but hasn’t read much else from then on. Hope that helps!   -Gigi 3. Hey y’all! I would like a YA book based on the dance world. I have read some nonfiction, but I would really like a fiction book. I have been dancing for 13 years, and right now am dancing primarily ballet and pointe. I do not want a drama- filled cliche book, like dance moms. Just something where dance is a huge part of the main character’s life and is really good.  Thanks so much! -Allison  4. Hi I’ve recently been reading a lot of middlegrade books, I find they are just the mood I want for this lockdown & it’s helped me clear my backlog. My favourite was Orion Lost by Alastair Chisholm It features all the elements of science fiction I love, a bit of peril, a lot of space travel and a view of a positive future. It reminded me of Heinlien’s juveniles (without the sexism), Becky Chambers and KA Applegate’s Remnant Chronicles. I’m looking for more middle grade that is proper science fiction please help me find something that is not an earth bound dystopian future (that seems to be all that comes up in searches) I’ve got Dragon Pearl by Yoon Ha Lee on order but need more! -Bex 5. Something to escape into: fantasy, fairytale, folklore, time slippage -Kim 6. Hi, I have fallen in love with essay collections this year. They have all been thematically different but written by female authors, beautiful writing as well as are on interesting topics.  I have loved: Constellations by Sinead Gleeson Axiomatic by Maria Tumarkin Trick Mirror by Jia Tolentino Make It Scream, Make it Burn by Leslie Jamison  Thick by Tressie Macmillan Cottam Would love to hear some further recommendations! Not that keen on anything by straight white men. Thanks.  -Georgia 7. Hi! Me and a friend are starting a book club! We’re a group of disabled and chronically ill young people, from the US and UK (so books released in both is a must). Available in audio and on Kindle also important for accessibility reasons, nothing too long or hard to read, and maybe older books so they’re also available second hand/in libraries without huge hold lists. Disability representation is obviously important, but other diversities (especially LGBTQ+) would be great too, and personally I’d quite like something with mental health or neurodiversity themes. Fiction and non both okay, any and all genres too! Books already on the list include Get a Life, Chloe Brown and The Pretty One -Caz Books Discussed Bitter Orange by Claire Fuller Each of Us A Desert by Mark Oshiro (out in September 2020) (tw: abusive parent, graphic violence) The Luminous Dead by Caitlin Starling Zero Sum Game by SL Huang The Walls Around Us by Nova Ren Suma A Time To Dance by Padma Venkatraman   We’re Not From Here by Geoff Rodkey Sal and Gabi Break The Universe by Carlos Hernandez Conjure Women by Afia Atakora (TW slavery, rape) Unraveling by Karen Lord (tw: harm to children) My Time Among the Whites by Jennine Capó Crucet Beyoncé In Formation by Omise’eke Natasha Tinsley Far From You by Tess Sharpe (TW homophobia, drug addiction) So Lucky by Nicola Griffith

Intro   Hi everyone! And welcome to Books Between - a podcast for educators, parents and everyone who loves middle grade books!   I’m your host, Corrina Allen - a mom of two tween girls, a 5th grade teacher in Central New York, and currently enjoying those magical days between Christmas and New Years when you have no idea what day it is and you spend half your time in your pajamas reading…..ahhhh…..   I believe in the power of books - especially fantasy books - to help you mull over the big moral issues in life and help you discover who you really want to be. And few books have accomplished that for so many better than the Harry Potter series.   This is our final #HappyPottermas episode of December and it is full discussion centered around those topics. First, you’ll hear some clips from Harry Potter fans - editors, authors, teachers, and… my own family.   And then I’ll share with you three conversations that will definitely get your wheels turning - and probably disagreeing. First, #HappyPottermas organizer Erin Varley and I will chat with Dr. Pat Geyer about how she has transformed her school into Hogwarts.  Then librarian Angie Manfredi and I get into some Harry Potter controversies. And then I share some firewhisky with author and KidLitDrinkNight podcast host Amy Skelding who shares her surprising 10 Most Devasting Harry Potter Deaths.   It probably goes without saying that this episode will discuss the ending of the books - but just in case that’s not clear - Spoiler Alert!!   #HappyPottermas - Audio Submissions (2:00)   Cary (@CarytheEditor), Blogger Freelance Editor at The Friendly Editor Adrianna Cuevas (@acuevaswrites) -  MG author   Cassie Thomas (@mrs_cmt1489) - 5th grade teacher, blogger at Teachers Who Read Victoria J.

We chat about how our views of Harry Potter have changed over the years, our frustrations with Dumbledore and the new direction JK Rowling has taken with the spin-offs, and Angie’s incredible and very accurate one question quiz to sort you into the right Hogwarts House. Plus - she finally convinces me to read The Cursed Child. Which I will tell you - it is taking all of my willpower to do anything else around the house other than finish that book that right now.   Take a listen…   Topics we chatted about   Introductions First memories of reading Harry Potter Rereading Harry Potter Problematic Details Dumbledore & Draco Fantastic Beasts Problematic Systems of Magic involving Native Americans The Cursed Child Scorpius Malfoy Angie’s one question Hogwart’s House sorting quiz Should we sort?

She is also the host of the KidLitDrinkNight podcast. We share a bit of firewhisky and chat about Harry Potter inspiration in the work place, how Harry Potter inspired her family through a challenging time, and… her rather surprising list of the ten most devastating deaths in the Harry Potter series.   Take a listen…   Topics we chatted about   Introductions Firewhisky The adult appeal of Harry Potter The movie adaptations The Half-Blood Prince Harry Potter as a Moral Compass House Sorting Favorite Character Amy’s Top Ten List of the Harry Potter Deaths in Order of Devastation to Me Personally   Links:   Amy Skelding on Twitter - @akskelding Kid Lit Drink Night Podcast   Ogden’s Old Firewhisky Recipe: http://www.inliterature.net/by-author/jk-rowling/2017/06/13021.html   Half Magic by Edward Eager   Closing   Alright, that wraps up our show this week!   If you have a question about how to connect kids between 8-12 to books they’ll love or a suggestion about a topic we should cover, I would love to hear from you.
