We made it through the Fold and back, to Ketterdam and now to the edges and the end of the Grishaverse... or so we thought. We discuss the many shocking bits of the King of Scars duology by Leigh Bardugo and how we REALLY feel about it all. And as we head into hot mom summer, a break from all these heavy-handed fantasy series with a fun Beach Read... join us for "People We Meet on Vacation" by Emily Henry for our June book club!
