After earning her degree in linguistics, J.D. served a decade as an army officer. She once spent her hours putting together briefings for helicopter pilots and generals.

CORRECTION: The author who talked about having adult levels of violence in her YA novel was Namina Forna, not Jordan Ifueko

Wherein the host Bethany is joined by Liene from the YouTube channel Liene's Library to discuss dark and grimdark fantasy books, morally gray characters, why we love a villain, why we love the fact that YA and children's literature are starting to include some darker themes and morally complex characters, and the need for female characters outside of the saint/sinner dichotomy.
