Sabaa Tahir's Heir returns to the fractured and fraught world of her Ember in the Ashes series as 3 young people's lives come together in surprising and heartbreaking ways. Tahir joins us to talk about revisiting familiar worlds and characters, dropping readers right in the action, writing complex heroes and villains and more with cohost Jenna Seery. We end this episode with TBR Top Off book recommendations from Marc and Donald.
