Today we discuss:
• Her top 5 series for you to get to know her best.
• Throne of Glass supremacy and what that series has meant to her as a reader, a fantasy fan, and a fully formed human being.
• A very necessary conversation about how fantasy is historically whitewashed, plus her favorite non-white fantasy authors who deserve far more hype and shelf space.
• Why fiction can teach you things nonfiction never could such as empathy, lived experience, emotional nuance, and sometimes just how to survive trauma.
• The reality of falling literacy rates, paired with the rare good news: BookTok, Bookstagram, and BookTube actually getting people excited about reading again. Yes, technology did something right.
• AI in the creative space...the ethical gray areas, the valid concerns, and where human creativity still (and should always) reign supreme.
