Our guest Ali Baker is a researcher in children's literature with a particular interest in children's voice and children's rights, so it's no surprise she chose to come on and talk to us about The Invisible Child!

We situate the Moomins as a type of fantasy, and Ali recommend's Dr Farah Mendlesohn's Rhetorics of Fantasy. We talk about the mixed up class elements of the Moomin family, and go on a long tangent about femme-shaming (#JusticeForTheSnorkMaiden), with reference to Tamora Pierce's Protector of the Small quartet. Ali's article about the the sensitivity edit's to Roald Dahl's work is here. Her Spirit of the Moomin's is Bjork's album Vespertine, and her Spirit of the Podgoblin's Hat is her podcast Fantasy Book Swap.

We finally finish a series! Trickster's Queen brings the many threads of political intrigue loose in the Copper Isles to a satisfying (if predictable) conclusion. We discuss the coziness of a perfect fantasy regime change and how overly rosy depictions of righted systemic injustices both help and harm the readers. Perfect spy blobs, spice intolerance, crow-man coming of age, and so, so many reports to write - a little of something for everyone.Be sure to listen to our Trickster's Choice episode before this one, we cover the series' worldbuilding in depth (this ep is more focused on narrative structure and characterization).Thanks to everyone who has requested we finish this duology!

Alanna finds a version of herself as a sword, and we definitely aren't covering two chapters today.The Grinwell Cup: https://x.com/wheeltakespod/status/1762650787606646933?s=20 Pre-order Queen of Dreams by Kit Rocha https://a.co/d/60e4Vqm == Buy the book ==Tamora Pierce's website: https://www.tamora-pierce.net/series/the-song-of-the-lioness/ == Buy our merch ==https://www.zazzle.com/store/hotnuancebookclub Once you're caught up, come hang with us on our Discord server and tell us all of your thoughts!

Welcome to the Hot Nuance Book Club, where it is time for the plague, complicated feelings about femininity, and also horses. Is there anything more heroic than telling Death it can't have your friend? Is there anything hotter than a blacksmith? Is Roger a weird blogger?

Welcome to Season Two of the Hot Nuance Book Club! Today we start Tamora Pierce's legendary Song of the Lioness quartet, which we've all read before but only Aradia has read recently. The journey of re-discovery has already thrown us some surprises, from empathizing with Coram as the responsible adult in the room to having different takes on Jon's value as a love interest.Pre-order Queen of Dreams by Kit Rocha https://a.co/d/60e4Vqm == Buy the book ==Tamora Pierce's website: https://www.tamora-pierce.net/series/the-song-of-the-lioness/ == Buy our merch ==https://www.zazzle.com/store/hotnuancebookclub Once you're caught up, come hang with us on our Discord server and tell us all of your thoughts!

While there are four books in The Immortals Series, we are concluding our review at book three, Emperor Mage. Stick around for the dinosaurs and dumb birds and ignore the romantic tension building between Daine and Numair.https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/13833.Emperor_Mage?from_search=true&from_srp=true&qid=aNCUv67lrZ&rank=1
Wolf-Speaker is book two in The Immortals Series by Tamora Pierce and there are A LOT of animals in this one. Some of them have more character development than our heroine.https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/24094.Wolf_Speaker
We're closing out Wild Magic and we couldn't help but stray into the same debate we got into last week. Also, what's up with this ending? Pacifist whales, dragon martyrs, and a kraken in a trench coat (at least according to Katie).https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/13836.Wild_Magic
Needless to say, we are CONFLICTED about this series. If your only exposure to Tamora Pierce is the Song of the Lioness books, "Wild Magic" is set in the same world and features many of the same characters; HOWEVER, the heroine is 13 years old in Wild Magic and she ends up in a romantic relationship with her mentor/teacher in book 4 ("In the Realms of the Gods"). We get into this for quite a while at the start of the episode, so skip to about 21 minutes in for the actual story. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/13836.Wild_MagicThe Reddit thread for Tamora Pierce's response: https://www.reddit.com/r/tamorapierce/comments/y9xmo2/saw_this_indepth_explanation_of_daine_and_numairs/

It's midwinter in the endless library, and Aurelien has only the very best books to shine a light in the gloom.

New York Times best-selling author Jennifer Armentrout is on the podcast to talk about her latest YA Fantasy The Fire in the Flesh! This is book 3 in the Flesh and Fire Series. And you may not know, based on how wildly popular this and her Blood and Ash series have been in the last few years, but she started as a Romance author! Jennifer has written AND published an astonishing 70 novels in 13 years! We talked all about how her ADHD hyper-focus was a helper in writing for a long time until it "turned on her" and she had to figure out how to manage it.Her process for creating and discovering the world-building of her fantasy creations, and how her editors have bibles to make sure that everything in the world-building fits together and makes sense.-How Jennifer Armentrout builds a badass heroine that is still relatable with their personality and mental health struggles. Jennifer uses her own psychology background to show how depression and anxiety are not the sum of who her characters are.Why certain books are classified as YA Fantasy vs Adult Fantasy vs New Adult FantasyHow the romance fantasy genre has evolved over the years with Bridget dropping some of her favorite fantasy authors Anne McCaffrey, Tamora Pierce, Mercedes LackeyBridget asked Jennifer how she builds that tension, push-and-pull, and excitement between the two characters. Jennifer talks about how she loves to read that tension, and how she always wants to feel like she wants readers to just say, "Just kiss already!'Jennifer shared how if the banter isn't flowing while she's writing, then it shows that something else probably isn't flowing in the story.We chatted through Jennifer Armentrout's favorite shows to watch in the background while writing including Buffy, Supernatural, Angel, Game of Thrones, Walking Dead, and Dead Files.How she was watching Autopsy: Life and Death during a video interview! She and Shani bonded over their love of that show.What is Jennifer Armentrout reading? She shares how she heads to historical romance to keep the books she is reading from influencing her writing.And also, how reading a book in a similar genre to hers can make her feel like a bad author when she reads an excellent book.Her example of an excellent unicorn author is Hurricane Wars by Thea GuanzonApollyCon conventionJennifer Armentrout talked about how and why she started ApollyCon, how it is run now, and why she is sad a lot of other conventions haven't come back after COVID-19.How the convention has gone from a day of signings to 3 full days of events, to now almost 4 full days of events!She talks about how even though the events are sold out, the hotels charge so much that she isn't actually making any money from it, but how it is worth it to bring authors and readers together. And give authors a chance to be around each other.

It's our last Book Club for the year! Brenna and Joe are joined by listeners Emma, Charlotte and Tea, Books & Chocolate to discuss Tamora Pierce's Alanna: The First Adventure (1983).While folks warned us the book hasn't aged super well (colonialism, white saviour, gender essentialism, etc), overall we *really* liked this and can understand the nostalgia of a fantasy series with a female protagonist in the 80s. After all, Alanna is a great heroine and this is solid middle-grade fiction.Up for discussion: bullying, menstruation, and a potential trans reading. Our big question? Where. Is. The.

Join us for a discussion of the first book in Tamora Pierce's The Song of the Lioness series, Alanna the First Adventure.

The heroic romance is one of the West's most enduring narratives, found everywhere, from religion and myth to blockbuster films and young adult literature. Within this story, adolescent girls are not, and cannot be, the heroes. They are, at best, the hero's bride, a prize he wins for slaying monsters. Crucially, although the girl's exclusion from heroic selfhood affects all girls, it does not do so equally- whiteness and able-bodiedness are taken as markers of heightened, fantasy femininity. Female Heroes in Young Adult Fantasy Fiction: Reframing Myths of Adolescent Girlhood (Bloomsbury, 2023) by Dr. Leah Phillips explores how the young female-heroes of mythopoeic YA, a Tolkienian-inspired genre drawing on myth's world-creating power and YA's liminal potential, disrupt the conventional heroic narrative. These heroes, such as Tamora Pierce's Alanna the Lioness, Daine the Wildmage, and Marissa Meyer's Cinder and Iko, offer a model of being-hero, an embodied way of living and being in this world that disrupts the typical hero's violent hierarchy, isolating individuality, and erasure of difference. In doing so, they push the boundaries of what it means to be a hero, a girl, and even human. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose doctoral work focused on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

The first of four books in the Circle of Magic series, Sandry's Book feels a bit less self-contained than first-books-in-a-series normally do.
