Stacy, Chanel, and Ashley discuss the first part of The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes by the amazing Suzanne Collins. This is the prequel to The Hunger Games series and we are beyond excited to discuss it. Check out our thoughts and favorite parts! Snow lands on top.

Summary:
It is the morning of the reaping that will kick off the tenth annual Hunger Games. In the Capital, eighteen-year-old Coriolanus Snow is preparing for his one shot at glory as a mentor in the Games. The once-mighty house of Snow has fallen on hard times, its fate hanging on the slender chance that Coriolanus will be able to outcharm, outwit, and outmaneuver his fellow students to mentor the winning tribute.

The odds are against him. He's been given the humiliating assignment of mentoring the female tribute from District 12, the lowest of the low. Their fates are now completely intertwined -- every choice Coriolanus makes could lead to favor or failure, triumph or ruin. Inside the arena, it will be a fight to the death. Outside the arena, Coriolanus starts to feel for his doomed tribute... and must weigh his need to follow the rules against his desire to survive no matter what it takes.

Stacy, Chanel, and Ashley discuss the second part of The Hurricane Wars written by the  incredibly talented and kind Thea Guanzon. We had Thea on earlier this month to discuss this amazing novel and we know everyone will LOVE it! Check out our thoughts and favorite parts!

Summary:

The heart is a battlefield.

All Talasyn has ever known is the Hurricane Wars. Growing up an orphan in a nation under siege by the ruthless Night Emperor, Talasyn has found her family among the soldiers who fight for freedom. But she is hiding a deadly secret: light magic courses through her veins, a blazing power believed to have been wiped out years ago that can cut through the Night Empire's shadows.

Prince Alaric, the emperor's only son and heir, has been forged into a weapon by his father. Tasked with obliterating any threats to the Night Empire's rule with the strength of his armies and mighty Shadow magic, Alaric has never been bested. That is until he sees Talasyn burning brightly on the battlefield with the magic that killed his grandfather, turned his father into a monster, and ignited the Hurricane Wars. In a clash of light and dark, their powers merge and create a force the likes of which has never been seen.

Talasyn and Alaric both know this war can only end with them. But a greater threat is coming, and the strange new magic they can create together could be the only way to overcome it. Thrust into an uneasy alliance, they will confront the secrets at the heart of the war and find, in each other, a searing passion--one that could save their world...or destroy it.

An exquisite fantasy brimming with unforgettable characters, sizzling enemies-to-lovers romance, and richly drawn worlds, The Hurricane Wars marks the breathtaking debut of an extraordinary new writer.

Chanel, Ashley, and Stacy do not discuss a fanfic this episode but we do get in to sapphic love. Sapphic is an identity term that refers to someone who identifies as female and is attracted to women. In other words, a sapphic person is someone who falls in love with, desires and fantasizes about other women. Sapphic is a word for people who love women. It is gender-inclusive and includes lesbians, bisexual/pansexual, queer women as well as nonbinary people who like women. In other words, it is broader and more open than the similar term "women who love women"(definition is from https://lesbesocial.com/lesbian-dictionary/sapphic-meaning). We also catch up and give lots of recs, hope you nerds are ready!
