This week on Getting Literate, Katie and Julia are back in the Grishaverse for their third (and as of now, final) coverage of a Leigh Bardugo duology, King of Scars. The gals discuss weaponizing religion and femininity, maybe possibly queerbaiting (but Julia says it's not), and the dreaminess of a fake-dating-to-real-relationship-trope. Julia has been pleading with Katie to shape up and read this for months, and is really just ecstatic to be in Nina's point of view, while Katie is excited to get a peek at sexy sexy Nikolai's mind. PLUS: getting chained up, Game of Thrones vibes, and hermits who live in caves. As always, there's definitely spoilers, so proceed with caution.

This week's book was King of Scars, by Leigh Bardugo. More info at https://www.leighbardugo.com/
