The trope for this podcast was an Asian American/Pacific Islander inspired book. Maddy read The Hand of the Sun King by J.T. Greathouse and Erin read Portrait of a Thief by Grace D. Li. Both loved the Asian elements of the books and cannot wait to read more AAPI novels in the future. We hope you give it a listen! Neither of us are part of the AAPI community so please let us know if we said anything incorrectly. We are always learning! (The second book for the Pact and Pattern series, The Garden of Empire, is out now so be sure to check it out.)
