Hey there, writers!

In this minisode, Karissa/Katherine breaks down Akarnae by Lynette Noni, this YA fantasy centers around a teenage girl who finds herself thrust into an enchanting world and a magical boarding school. This book is chocked full of many of the tropes we love - and some of the tropes we don't - including the mean girl trope, magical boarding school trope, and more. But how does the suspension of disbelief hold up for a book this magical? Join Karissa as she analyzes Akarnae, offering a review of what does and doesn't work from a writer's perspective!
