In this week’s bonus episode, Lucia is joined by a very special guest — Tatyana, host of The Bookish Banter Podcast — to discuss Iron Widow by Xiran Jay Zhao.
We dig into this bold sci-fi dystopia, chat about Hunger Games comparisons, and question the decision-making skills of some very short-sighted YA protagonists.
